Steven Vincent confirmed that the tagline for the END THE FED project would be changed to something more pro-Constitution/pro-sound-money. He also advised END THE FED members to avoid use of the word "protest" when describing the END THE FED project -- rather use terms like: rally, movement, action, cause.
Steven Vincent advised END THE FED leaders to focus on alerting their local media of the November 22nd rally, rather than concerning themselves with national media coverage.
Gary Franchi said it was permissible for activists to print out individual Republic Magazine articles to use as flyers & handouts. He said to go to http://www.republicmagazine.com & join the mailing list. After joining, members will receive PDFs for all past issues & can print out the ones they want to use. He also said that back issues of Republic Magazine could be ordered for $1.00 a piece & to put up a ChipIn (http://www.chipin.com) to raise the money to purchase them. In addition, Gary said that the upcoming issue of Republic Magazine would be a "scathing" issue covering the bailout & the Federal Reserve system.
Gary Franchi recommended http://www.alwayssign.com as an inexpensive place to get signs & banners made.

Steven Vincent asked for local reports & fielded questions & concerns from various END THE FED members.
Concerning outreach, Steven Vincent advised END THE FED members not to limit themselves to Ron Paul supporters. He suggested outreach to: peace activist groups, tax honesty groups, third-party campaigns & their grassroots supporters, college & university students, etc. & that members tailor the END THE FED message for each group. For instance, he suggested that, when reaching out to peace groups, members might say: "There is no way we could have all these wars if the Federal Reserve weren't printing up all the money to pay for them." He suggested that outreach be done via: telephone, e-mail & in-person visits. He also said that he would be redesigning the language on the END THE FED website to make it more accessible to newcomers.

Steven Vincent advised END THE FED leaders to develop positive relationships with local law enforcement in advance by informing them of the peaceful intent of the rally & by encouraging them to remove hostile & disruptive individuals immediately.
