FedUpUSA was 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 how they're being robbed blind by the Wall Street bankers who continue to pay for the campaigns for election and reelection of those who will ensure legislation to facilitate their thievery.
FedUpUSA held its first protest in April of 2008 after the Bear Stearns ‘merger’ with JPMorgan using taxpayer dollars.
Since this occurred in the middle of a Sunday night without any vote from Congress, this was blatantly a case of taxation without representation. It sounded like it was time to have a new Tea Party. The rest is history. You can read more about how we were integral in starting the movement we intended to be all about stopping the fraud, corruption, and looting and starting the prosecuting here. It was never supposed to be about Party politics. Later we went on to hold another protest in Washington DC as well as produce a video that was distributed to every member of Congress.
Since that time, FedUpUSA and The Market-Ticker have made appearances in national and international media, including: CNN with Glenn Beck, MSNBC with Dylan Ratigan numerous times, Fox Business, CNBC, the UK Guardian, both French and Chinese newspapers, Capital Account, Max Keiser, and on numerous radio stations around the country.
