Every now and then, I google the town I live in and "Ron Paul."
Here is what I found this morning:

I know this is old news, but this is such a great model of how
local groups can do activism and get covered locally

STUDENTS BLAME FED FOR FINANCIAL CRISIS
CLICK HERE: Standing before the Sample Gates, 16 members of IU
Students for Liberty and Hoosiers for Nader braved
the 20-degree weather Saturday to protest what they

groups' protest is not unique to IU's campus, IU
Students for Liberty president senior Andrew Sharp said.
"Today was chosen as the national day of protest
against the Federal Reserve System, and in 39 cities
across the country people are gathering at the Federal
Reserve locations to protest," Sharp said. "We decided
that instead of going to Louisville or Chicago, where
there actually are Federal Reserve banks, we would
have a protest here in Bloomington and spread the message."
Activists around the country chose Nov. 22 as the date
for the protest because it is the 45th anniversary of the
assassination of John F. Kennedy – the last president to
try to end the Federal Reserve by issuing metal-backed
U.S. notes. After his assassination, the notes were taken
out of circulation almost immediately...
