It was not in the news because its managers got million-dollar bonuses. In fact, it is a relatively new financial institution created by, and for, the organizations and individuals who believe the federal government has gone way beyond the authority granted to it by the U.S. Constitution. It is a part of a new awakening, a mobilization in preparation to stop what is perceived as a march toward socialism.

Nearly a hundred years ago, a meeting at Jekyll Island produced the Federal Reserve, which now controls our economic destiny. The current meeting at Jekyll Island, organized by theWe the People Foundation, seeks to produce a plan to control the Federal Reserve and restore our economic freedom.
