Hi all - I know it's announced last minute, but come on by if you can!

Announcing "Freedom Conference 2009: Alternatives to G-20", the vision of a coalition of five Pittsburgh grassroots organizations and partners who believe in limited government and free market solutions to our problems, and work to present those.

The main event, scheduled for September 24 at Soldiers and Sailors Hall, will explain about the G-20 Summit and what it means for you. Few people realize the power that these people have, but at the conference it will be made clear what their proposals will cost, whether they will answer to you, the citizenry, and why you should be informed.

The Freedom Conference 2009 Planning Committee, comprised of members of 9.12 Project, Campaign for Liberty, Pittsburgh Tea Party, Republican Assembly, and Veterans and Patriots United, joined together behind free-market principles, defense of individual liberty, and desire for limited government invites people who share their vision to help them make this event a success, as they also invite those who want to learn more to join and become aware.

They will be hosting an organizational picnic at North Park on Sunday, August 16 at 4:00 PM at Pearce Grove, located near the boat house. (It is #91 on the map, in section F-3.) There will be burgers, hot dogs, and soft drinks, and we encourage you to bring something to share if you can. Please bring your friends, your family, and your questions!

This will be an opportunity to learn more about why they are staging the Freedom Conference and the impact they hope to make with it.

Hey all - let's get together and discuss what we want to do for the G-20 summit on Sept 24, 25.

So far, we have 2 big possibilities:

1: Direct protesting downtown @ the summit itself, which may include (if some folks are to be believed) tear gas, batons, and jail time...

2: the other is a separate event at the same time much like the Rally for the Republic, where we have headlining speakers and hopefully much less tear gas. :) The problem is that we'd need to raise some fairly serious cash (a few thousand) to secure a nice big venue.

So come on over we'll get some munchies and throw out some ideas and make some plans.

Hope to see you all there!

PS: sorry for the late notice, just realized I hadn't cross-posted this one.

Nationwide protest against the Federal Reserve Banks and System and for sound money.

The Federal Reserve is NOT a government entity and is responsible for the nation's economic boom and bust cycle (e.g. the housing market bubble followed by it's collapse), for inflation which is essentially a tax on the poor and middle classes, for funding unconstitutional and unjust wars, and for the current economic crisis.

YOUR hard-earned federal income tax dollars go to pay the interest on the federal government's debt to a PRIVATELY owned bank (the Fed!), which then PROFITS from YOUR loss.

Please join us in front of the Pittsburgh Federal Reserve Building Downtown (717 Grant st) to educate the public about the Fed and gain support for Texas Rep. Ron Paul's HR 1207: The Federal Reserve Transparency Act to audit the Fed (Senate version is S 604: The Federal Reserve Sunshine Act of 2009, introduced by VT Sen. Bernie Sanders) and Rep. Paul's HR 833: The Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act.

Participants can meet up at the Fed at Noon, or alternatively, meet at 11:30AM at St Stanislaus Kostka Church in The Strip, Pittsburgh's historic shopping district, where parking space is cheaper and more plentiful than in Downtown, and then march to the Fed Bldg to meet others, while distributing literature about the Federal Reserve and information on HR 1207/S 604 and HR 833 to shoppers.
