Event:

I.O.U.S.A. – Patrick Creadon
Do you know how much of the U.S. government's gargantuan $9.5 trillion debt you will have to pay—or your children or grandchildren will have to cough up either in taxes or lost income? Our (nearly) unfathomable national debt is the subject of this entertaining new documentary, turning America's debt and deficits into a humorous, provocative and informative prelude to an impending financial meltdown. The documentary focuses on former U.S. Comptroller General Dave Walker (a/k/a the nation's top accountant), and Bob Bixby, who travel like town criers across America on what they call a "Fiscal Wake Up Tour." Town by town, they've been arming citizens with information about how we got into this financial mess, why we must act right now to stop it, and what we can each do to begin to free the nation from the stranglehold of this colossal debt. 2008; 87 min. Co-sponsored by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, the Rutgers University Study Abroad Programs and the Rutgers University Office of Academic Engagement and Programming

MAP to Bellmawr Library. A MUST SEE presentation. Bring friends and family.

Falling stocks, bailouts, unemployment, stimulus checks, shrinking 401Ks, failing mortgages. The public knows that the financial situation facing our country is dire. They are very nervous about something they do not fully understand, how it will effect them and what to do about it. We will help you understand tonight:

"Why does the government/Federal Reserve devalue currency?"
"What does our Constitution say about money?"
"Who benefits and who gets hurt when a government floods the nation with newly printed dollars?"
Are the solutions offered by our world leaders going to cure or worsen the problems?"
"Can the economic downturn push our nation toward a New World Order?"

These questions were answered at a live speech last September in Gloucester City, NJ. If you missed or were unable to attend that speech given by John McManus, here is your opportunity to see it in the form of an excellent DVD Presentation with added graphics. Mr. McManus discusses money, inflation, the Federal Reserve, the Income Tax, the U.S. Constitution. Learn what every American can do. He addresses high prices, job losses and investments melting away.

John McManus is the author of numerous books and articles (such as "Ignoring the Laws of Economics" and "Sound Money: Key to Prosperity"). He was a speaker at the 2007 and 2008. Mr. McManus was also the special guest speaker at Ron Paul's "Rally for the Republic" in St. Paul, MN last September.

Meeting is on 3rd Floor, Room C

MAP to Camden County Library.

Last year's, Tuesday, February 5th - NJ Presidential Primary... is over. That's the date when a large step toward preserving our freedom was taken. It's time to get involved AGAIN.

Our priority now is reaching out to freedom supporters. We will be discussing becoming precinct captains. We will learn how to take steps towards educating new freedom supporters and how we can volunteer our time to show others what has happened to our country and why. We will close the meeting with a speech given by Congressman Ron Paul speaking on preserving our liberty and our country.

It's also an opportunity to meet others in the group if you have not yet had the chance.

Location: CAMDEN COUNTY LIBRARY in Voorhees, NJ across from the food court at Echelon Mall. The meeting rooms are on the 3rd Floor. 203 Laurel Road, Voorhees, NJ 08043 (856) 772-1636

Description
AMODEO & POLISTINA TO HOST TOWN HALL MEETING ON MANDATED HOUSING

Assemblymen John Amodeo and Vince Polistina will host a public town hall meeting
on the state's new mandated housing law. The town hall meeting will take place on
Wednesday, November 12, 2008 from 6 PM to 8 PM at the Walter Edge Arena,
Atlantic Cape Community College in Mays Landing.

This town hall meeting is open to the public. There is no charge for admission.

"The new law is going to have a major impact on our way of life in Atlantic County ,"
said Polistina. "We feel we should have a thorough, public airing of the issues at this
meeting."

"Unfortunately, this law was rushed through the process. As a result, even the sponsor
acknowledges the law will need some changes," said Amodeo. "We are inviting the
public to share their thoughts with us."

While the main topic of the evening will be housing, the assemblymen will be happy to
discuss other state and legislative issues important to the public.
