    April 17th is National BANK RUN Day! Will You Participate?

    It will be interesting to see if this catches on....



    On April 17th - beginning at midnight EST - supporters of the Campaign for Liberty and of the campaign to END THE FED will join together to trigger a first in a series of ?bank runs? in hopes of overwhelming the Federal Reserve?s ability to continue it?s propping up of our nation?s bankrupt financial system.

    The goal of this project is to highlight the need to pass Congressman Ron Paul?s recently reintroduced House Resolution 833 - a bill to abolish the Federal Reserve.

    We wish to emphasize the need for sound money - backed by gold and or silver.

    All supporters should remove all cash except $17.76 from any bank and withdraw maximum allowable funds from any money market accounts on that day.

    We seek an ?electronic run on the banks? in addition to traditional ?bank runs.? Over time, we hope to build these events in order to topple the effectiveness of the Federal Reserve.

    There's a groundswell against the bank plan. CNBC's Rick Santelli was talking smack about it and was greeted with verbal high fives from the Chicago options trading board.

          this is a brilliant idea. If my bank ends up closing and I can't get my money because of this, I'll be sure to sue these people.

            Yeah, I saw that on CNBC.

            I wonder if the US government would consider acting in and/or organizing this an act of terrorism?

                      oh yeah and not only does your bank not have your money, they are not obligated to give you CASH for it.

                          If even 10% of people did this, it would collapse banks en masse.

                            I obviously was not saying that they ended the Fed in November of 2007. Simply that the people behind organizing this are much the same as those involved in the very successful Ron Paul money bombs. The first of which was November 5th.

                                The banks are way more overleveraged than that now. 6% to 8% would probably wreak havoc. You're right though. I would not take a very large percentage...

                                    i see. i misunderstood the intent of your post. either way, i find it more than irresponsible to market ending the fed with a run on the banks. stupid stupid stupid.

                                      This would be the dumbest fucking thing to do... PERIOD. If anything it will play perfectly into the hands of the government. You want to completely destroy the US monetary system? Bankrupt the government, completely destroy the economy and you will be left holding green confetti and worthless metal...

                                      Why?

                                      Because it will be easier for them to trash the system and replace it with something else rather than to dig themselves out of the economic hole and attempt to meet the demands of the public. You think things are bad now, you haven't seen anything yet if this is successful.

                                      The reality is, that date will come and go without much notice other than the fact the Terrorist Watch List will get a little bit longer.

                                      I have said it once and I will say it again, but I doubt anyone will pay much heed...

                                      BECAUSE of the Panic of 1907, which was STARTED BY A RUN ON THE BANKS, the Federal Reserve Act was created and the Federal Reserve was born.

                                      If the Federal Reserve was the result of the last run on the banks, do you really think it will be replaced by anything better if THIS run on the banks is successful? It would be a convienent time for them to start putting in place the NAU.

                                          I have said it once and I will say it again, but I doubt anyone will pay much heed...

                                          BECAUSE of the Panic of 1907, which was STARTED BY A RUN ON THE BANKS, the Federal Reserve Act was created and the Federal Reserve was born.
                                          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panic_of_1907
                                          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_Act

                                          If the Federal Reserve was the result of the last run on the banks, do you really think it will be replaced by anything better if THIS run on the banks is successful? It would be a convienent time for them to start putting in place the NAU.
                                          you are right, if it worked it would a we won ! wait we lost big time.

                                                    If it's a no brainer case or its so obvious the case was put in a settlement fund, the lawyers would probably do it on contingency.

                                                        of course.

                                                        you can laugh all you want, but i was simply curious as to what your view was on the recklesness of our forefathers.

                                                        n/m though eh.

                                                          Maybe, but one thing is for sure... They wouldn't sit back and watch the government do what it is doing today.

                                                          Thomas Jefferson:
                                                          "A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference."

                                                          "A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government."

                                                          "The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered."

                                                          "For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security."


                                                          "The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now -- with somebody -- and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives." H.S.T. 09/12/01

                                                                    I fail to see how this would be in any way productive in either the short or the long run. Even discounting something worse replacing the fed in the long term, whats to stop emergency anti terrorism legislation being used to have the fed print up another few trillion as a response to this anyways and completely be counter-productive?
