Yesterday I gave a fast-paced lecture on constitutional money and the Federal Reserve to the Lehigh Valley Tea Party. The PDF and playlist can be found below. I received some feedback after the meeting ended - about a half-dozen people out of the group of 100 said that they were aware and thanked me for stating what I did - the truth. Several others said it was too fast, almost like a college course. Others said the speech should have been centered on why people would vote for me instead of the incumbent.
On the first piece of feedback, I do agree - I compressed material from 3 hours of lectures I had prepared into 20 minutes - which was all the time I had. My reasoning for covering so much ground is that I decided this group of activists - who decided to spend their Friday evening at a Tea Party meeting - could ask questions later on and also could start learning for themselves, as for many the topic may have been too foreign. The source list is inside the PDF, and the reading materials I suggested to read after the lecture are listed here. Common Sense Revisited can be downloaded from here.
On the second piece of feedback, the time was not given to me to make a campaign speech - nor was it investment advice. I used the time to present the truth and facts. As far as why someone would decide to vote for me instead of Congressman Dent, please see this video of Dent replying to my question on the collapse of the dollar, and also my Federal Reserve plank. Below this plank are plenty of short articles that will teach the reader all the critical points about the FED very quickly.
Thank you for the feedback though! I will try to make things even simpler, spend more time on key points, add a little humor and not be so compressed the next time around!
If anyone has questions, leave them below and I will answer them. I am also available to present this material at a much slower rate, with plenty of time for Q&A to groups, or even over the phone. Monetary economics is very crucial to understand as it underlies EVERYTHING that is going on with the economy.
There is also a lot more to learn about, like the suppression of the gold price.
Hope to see many attend the Constitution rEVOLution Tea Party on November 22nd at Philadelphia's City Hall and at the FED. I will be giving a campaign speech this time around, and you won't want to miss it!!
For the Republic!!

Excellent, Jake! This slide show should be force-fed to all high school students.

Man, I wish you were running in Louisiana. You REALLY put a lot of effort into what you do.

You will never even come close to winning if you align yourself with the Tea Baggers. If you are a serious candidate, you had better try to relate to the larger demographic of the 15th congressional district.

The Tea Party group are all residents of the district and are a very vocal part of "the larger demographic." They do not endorse candidates.
That said, you are correct in that there are more residents in the district so feel free to invite me to speak to your group. I have not declined an invitation yet, and have spoken to multiple groups. http://towneforcongress.com/lots-more/campaign-speeches-and-talks
"You will never even come close to winning if you align yourself" with them. Would you like to bet?

Jake I wish you were in my district (DelCo PA). You would absolutely have my vote! Your economic viewpoints make perfect sense and I don't see how people can disagree with such logic.
