About FedUpUSA and Frequently Asked Questions
What do you do with the donations?
Which party are you affiliated with?
Do you take user contributions?
We were originally a group of investors who came from an online forum called the Ticker Forum. Ticker Forum was and still is comprised of a very large group of people, many of whom have worked within the financial industry, within the real estate industry, in private and public investment, in business both big and small and in the field of economics. These are people who realized early on that there was something terribly wrong with our financial system, despite the public being told repeatedly that the ‘economy was sound.’ FedUpUSA was borne out of a need to get our information out to the American public, so that they could know the truth and be encouraged to stand up and have a voice. The American People cannot be heard until they truly understand.
What do you do with the donations?
We are a non-profit organization.We aren’t doing this to make money.We have no advertisers.We have no independent source of funding.We are a group of concerned people, all of whom do this on a volunteer basis.Many times this takes us away from our otherwise paying careers.It costs money to maintain a web site and we rely on the kindness of people’s donations to keep our site going.If you find value in our web site and the information we provide, a donation of any amount is greatly appreciated.
Which party are you affiliated with?
We are a non-partisan group and firmly believe that our two main parties, both Republican and Democrat are equally to blame for the mess we find ourselves in. That being said, we also firmly believed that each and every Member of Congress who voted for the atrocity known as the The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, H.R. 1424, as well as all of the other bailouts of companies that should have been left to fail, should have been voted OUT on November 4th, 2008 in the general elections. Unfortunately, that was not the case as many of those responsible for this horrible mess, which we are now leaving to our children, remain in office. You can find out how your Members of Congress voted. Many of these Members of Congress willfully ignored the voices of their constituents.This is not how our government should work.It is now how our Constitution says it should work.That noise you hear in the background is our Founding Fathers spinning in their graves at 60,000 RPMs.
Since both candidates for President of the United States voted for this Bailout Bill, we did not recommend voting for either of them.
We firmly believe that everyone must vote; so, we recommend finding either a 3rd party candidate, or doing careful research on the Republican or Democrat candidate alternatives.Review how they voted.If they voted for any bailouts, you know they are not representing their constituents, but instead, their own interests and wallet.Just as important, find out who funds your prospective candidate.You can find out exactly who contributes to registered candidates at: Open Secrets .This is a valuable resource.
We wholeheartedly encourage exploration of other parties besides the two that have had a stranglehold on American politics for decades.One such party can be found here: Federationist.org
We recommend you get active.We have a number of organizations on our Links page , which will help you do that. We also have instructions on how to Contact Your Member of Congress. The key is to do something other than sit around and complain. Americans have the unique opportunity to influence and change.Our Founding Fathers intended our government to be of The People and by The People.The People seem to have forgotten this.Our Congress seems to have forgotten this as well as evidenced by their willful ignoring of the overwhelming majority of constituents who told them, loudly, they opposed the bailouts. We encourage everyone to be a part of the solution.If you’re not, you’re merely a part of the problem.
Reaching out and educating others also helps.For each person that can be told the truth about what we face in this economic crisis, the more inclined they will be to get active too.Each person counts.Last, but not least, send everyone you know to FedUpUSA.org !
