Louisville rally protests government bailouts

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Concerned citizens in Louisville took their frustration about the economy to the streets Saturday afternoon. At Fifth and Jefferson, more than 100 people showed up to protest government efforts to bailout private companies.

The protest was part of a "Campaign for Liberty Effort." Those involved say they want to end the Federal Reserve because it has become corrupt. They want to see more fiscal responsibility in Washington.

"We want politicians to know that when they go up to represent the people. They need to understand that they've taken a constitutional oath to obey and defend the constitution and voting for bailouts like this is against their oath and literally they are traitors to the country," said Charles Zoeller, a concerned citizen taking part in the protest.

The Louisville protest was a regional segment of a national event. Rallies were also scheduled to take place in 58 other cities Saturday, including Lexington and Cincinnati.
