One year later: Gold and The Constitutional Tender Act

Here's a great blog post at the Campaign For Liberty site about our efforts here in Georgia:

I'll start out with this disclaimer: I am not an economist. I'm an "average Joe," who has an avid interest in Austrian economics, and knows the basic essential rule of Economics: Supply and Demand. Most of what I write here is just my thoughts, and is purely based on some trends I've noticed. For that matter, if you agree or disagree, I'd like to hear your comments so that I can better understand what the hell is going on. I'd also like to know if, had the Constitutional Tender Act been implemented, A) would we be in a better position today than a year ago? B) would it been about the same? (no harm, no foul), or C), would things be worse? Any and all criticism, accolade, and/or input is welcome.

State considers return to gold, silver dollars

State considers return to gold, silver dollars
Proposed bill slams Fed, allows payments in precious metals

A bill being considered in the Montana Legislature blasts the Federal Reserve’s role in America’s money policy and permits the state to conduct business in gold and silver instead of the Fed’s legal tender notes.

Montana H.B. 639, sponsored by State Rep. Bob Wagner, R-Harrison, doesn’t require the state or citizens to conduct business in gold or silver, but it does require the state to calculate certain transactions in both the current legal tender system and in an electronic gold currency. It further mandates that the state must accept payments in gold or silver for various fees and purchases.

Two Recently-Discovered YouTube Videos

We just stumbled across two good home-made YouTube videos that are relevant to the use of Constitutional Tender or to the Constitutional Tender Act itself.

The first discusses a number of different news items, but check out what is said beginning at 7:18:



The second has some interesting information regarding the fact that States have abandoned their Constitutional requirement to use ONLY gold and silver coin in payment of debt, and how that fact can actually benefit you in issues of taxation and fees... if you're willing to take that chance! :-)

Let's get our States back to doing what the Constitution REQUIRES them to do, and we won't have to "play around" with this kind of stuff!

Silver-90% Silver & ASE requested as payment under Ga. HB 430 as payments to the State in 2011

[UPDATE] Looks like "Michael" removed this video from YouTube. Oh well - thanks for having it up while you did! :-)

This is an interesting post by "Michael" on YouTube, who writes that he is from "deep Southern Georgia".

A good take on the Constitutional Tender bill.



Thanks for promoting it, Michael!

One Thousand Supporters today!

Hi folks - I haven't written since the end of the legislative session here in Georgia, but I wanted to give you a quick update:

We've now hit ONE THOUSAND SUPPORTERS in our cause on Facebook! (Thanks, Tara!) That puts us at "Guild" status (only 1500 more needed to reach "Tribe" status!).

That's FANTASTIC. Things are going to start heating up again as a number of state legislatures (maybe including Georgia) go back into session, and we see our efforts moving forward. As the economy nosedives, thanks to fiat money and the fractional reserve system, more and more people are looking to REAL money -- CONSTITUTIONAL TENDER -- as the only real solution to what our "leaders" and the Federal Reserve have brought upon us.

We CAN win this -- if we stick to it! Thanks so much for being willing to support this cause, and God bless!

Constitutional Tender - Wow, Check It Out!

Dear Friends of Constitutional Tender,

One week ago, we sent a message to all of the members of our Facebook "cause," that we had reached another milestone in our efforts to return our States to using REAL money: namely, that we had reached 500 MEMBERS, making us an official "SQUAD"!

That was then; THIS IS NOW. In just ONE WEEK, we added ANOTHER 100 members!

It took us 11 weeks to get from zero to 500... then it only took ONE week to get to 600!

So what does that mean? It means we're only 400 members away from the next level of "GUILD" (1000 members) -- and at this rate, we could hit that in just a couple of weeks!

This is an incredibly important cause -- perhaps one of the most important causes on Facebook, when it comes to the best chance America has to save our economy... and our money.

That's why I'm asking you to do something very special, to advance the cause of returning our States to using what the U.S. Constitution requires them to use: gold and silver ONLY. THAT is what can save our citizens from the coming monetary crash.

If you're not a member of Facebook, and are willing to help out by joining Facebook and then joining the Cause, then go here: http://apps.facebook.com/causes/209010/

If you're already on Facebook... could you go right now and "invite" as many friends as possible to join the "Support the State Constitutional Tender Act" cause? You can invite up to 60 friends a day -- just go here:

http://apps.facebook.com/causes/cause_invitations/new?cause_id=209010

Remember: it's our future we're trying to save. Can you take just a couple of minutes right now to help?

Thank you!
