AMI Conference: Sept. 24-27, 2009 in Chicago

Dear Friends of the American Monetary Institute,

This is our 2009 Conference brochure under construction. Its not yet a schedule, that will happen in mid September; but Confirmed speakers are listed with their bios and descriptions of their talks. Looks very exciting! Talks will focus on what can be done NOW, to turn this monetary and banking disaster, created and perpetuated by false people and false economic and monetary ideas into an opportunity to achieve real and lasting reforms for humanity.
Hope to see you there!
