Campaign for Liberty limited government activist David Ratowitz is running for U.S. Congress to represent Illinois’ 5th District. This is the office currently held by Mike Quigley and formerly held by Rahm Emanuel. [The 5th District runs the width of the city of Chicago north of approx. North Ave. and includes handful of near northwest suburbs.]

A Hazel Crest native, David is the principal attorney at Ratowitz Law Firm LLC and an Army veteran. He resided for 8 years in New Orleans, where he owned a real estate development firm. He and his family survived Hurricane Katrina and worked to rebuild their business as well as their local community.

David advocates:
* Free market economics
* Sound, accountable monetary policy
* Streamlined, strong national defense
* Secure civil liberties
* Universal school choice
* Individualized, decentralized health care

This is a $50/per person fund-raiser. Hors d’oeuvres will be served.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of the Happy Hour! – This Thursday!

The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

Where: (A location has not been chosen yet.)

To promote our Audit The Fed Rally in Chicago on September 15th, we’re going to do an S 604 petition drive in a public place in Chicago on Saturday, August 29th, starting at 11:00 AM. The exact location is to be determined. The ideal location will be public property with plenty of foot traffic.

Not only will we be petitioning for S 604 to Audit the Fed, we will also be promoting the Audit The Fed Rally to be held at Federal Plaza on September 15th. We will be distributing handbills that advertise the rally along with facts about this effort to Audit The Fed and encourage our fellow citizens of Illinois to sign our petitions. We should be able to distribute a high volume of handbills if we do this right–and maybe gather some solid signatures on our petitions.

Signs, literature, petition forms, pens, and clipboards will be provided. All you need to do is show up! However, if you are so inclined, please bring your own Audit The Fed materials as well.

S 604 Petition Drive / Audit The Fed Rally Promotion

The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

GET INVOLVED and let’s make this thing BIG, folks.

This event will be held at Federal Plaza from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

To raise public awareness of S 604, the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act of 2009 (which is the companion bill in the U.S. Senate to HR 1207 to Audit the Fed!), a peaceful rally is being planned for September 15th. The rally is also meant to generate publicity in the local media and bring pressure to bear on our U.S. Senators from Illinois, Senator Richard J. Durbin and Senator Roland W. Burris to cosponsor S 604 and to explain their respective positions on the bill.

This event is being organized on a statewide scale–specifically in Chicago and Springfield, where both Senators have offices. Our concerted and organized effort will raise public awareness of this important issue and bring political pressure to bear on our Senators for standing in the way of transparency for the Fed. The event will culminate with concerned citizens presenting over 2,000 petition signatures in support of S 604 to both of the senators’ offices.

Please see the discussion on the Campaign for Liberty Illinois forum to offer your ideas, suggestions, criticisms, and support for this important event.

I am developing fliers to promote this event and we will be issuing press releases to local media. If you would like to help organize this event, please contact me. I can use all of the help that I can get!

I also need all of the help that I can get petitioning for S 604 in the next few weeks to substantially increase our petition signature count.

Please join the Audit The Fed Illinois Facebook group here.

Also, sign on to AuditTheFed.com and sign the petition there! AuditTheFed.com will also be used to organize a national call-a-thon week leading up to September 15th in order to inundate our U.S. Senators from Illinois with phone calls.
