Fedupusa

FedUpUSA held its first protest in April of 2008 after the Bear Stearns ‘merger’ with JPMorgan using taxpayer dollars. Since this occurred in the middle of a Sunday night without any vote from Congress, this was blatantly a case of taxation without representation. Later we went on to hold another protest in Washington DC as well as produce a video that was distributed to every member of Congress. Since that time, FedUpUSA and The Market-Ticker have made appearances in national and international media, including: CNN with Glenn Beck, MSNBC with Dylan Ratigan numerous times, Fox Business, CNBC, the UK Guardian, both French and Chinese newspapers, Capital Account, Max Keiser, and on numerous radio stations around the country. FedUpUSA was also invited to and attended the 2011 Civility in Democracy Conference at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia to take part in a 3-day conference tackling the difficult question of how to bring people together across political divide to discuss the urgent constitutional issues facing us today. The financial crisis that began in 2008 is not as complex as most people believe. It can be boiled down to one word: corruption. Corruption is a disease that spreads uncontrollably when the rule of law has been lost. Our system of government was made with a division of powers among three separate branches of government, all constrained by limited scope and common-sense principles, for the sole purpose of inhibiting corruption and the inevitable rise of an elite ruling class. There is no more ‘equal justice under the law’ – - there are laws written to favor the elite who pay the congressmen to write them and there are ‘exemptions’ to most laws to allow for the criminal activity of the elite. Until the rule of law is restored, the financial crisis will not end. The financial crisis is but a symptom of a disease that is terminal for the Republic.
