10th Amendment Center uses Constitutional Tender Act as "Model Legislation"!
The Tenth Amendment Center has just released a TAC-approved suite of legislation - including the Constitutional Tender Act - that covers issues all over the political spectrum.

Pick one model act out – and urge your state politicians to introduce it next year. The time to act on that is now!
