April 23, 2009 — An estimated 1 million people gathered Thursday in 6,000 locations nationwide for the Town Hall for Hope hosted by talk-show host Dave Ramsey. The free, interactive event also was broadcast live on Fox Business Network at 8 p.m. It will re-air this weekend.
“We’re going to blast through the fear and rhetoric that is being broadcast in the news media and empower American families with hope-hope to change their families, and hope to change their personal economies,” Ramsey, author of the best-sellers Total Money Makeover and Financial Peace, said in a statement.
