*Your Letter to Congress*
*Thomas, thanks for taking action on behalf of Conservative Action Alerts.
Your messages are on the way. *
*An individual copy of your letter will be sent to each official:*
June 17, 2012
Dear Representative Long,
Dear Senator McCaskill,
Dear Senator Blunt,
For several months the Federal Reserve had been buying hundreds of billions
of dollars worth of debt from the U.S. Treasury. The Government-Central
Bank relationship has allowed our lawmakers to continue in their practice
of reckless deficit spending which only results in a further devalued
dollar . And now, unfortunately, there is support for raising the debt
ceiling!
What we need is sound money and it looks like our dollar is qualifying less
and less. Precious metals -- namely, gold and silver -- have historically
been the commodities most capable of being sound money. This is why many
governments have traditionally backed their currencies with such, including
our own – in fact, the only legal tender authorized by the U.S.
Constitution is gold and silver!
However, the use of gold, silver, and other forms of money in market
dealings is prohibited today in the United States due to legal tender laws
that force the use of Federal Reserve Notes. Such laws give the federal
government an unhealthy currency monopoly!
I have heard that Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tx) has introduced H.R. 1098 – also
called the Free Competition in Currency Act of 2011 – “to repeal the legal
tender laws, to prohibit taxation on certain coins and bullion, and to
repeal superfluous sections related to coinage.”i
More specifically, H.R. 1098 will remove the obstacles that prevent the
circulation of sound money in the United States: federal legal tender laws
that force the use of Federal Reserve Notes; “counterfeiting” laws that
serve no purpose other than to ban the creation of private commodity
currencies; and tax laws that penalize the use of gold and silver coins as
money.ii
I agree with Rep. Paul’s statement, that: “[G]overnment monopoly on the
issuance of money is purely a method of central control over the economy.
If you can be forced to accept the government’s increasingly devalued
dollar, there is no limit to how far the government will go to debauch the
currency. Anyone who attempts to create a market based currency – meaning a
currency with real value as determined by markets – threatens to embarrass
the federal government and expose the folly of our fiat monetary system. So
the government destroys competition through its usual tools of arrest,
confiscation, and incarceration.”iii
As an American citizen and a part of the market, I say it’s time you
support the circulation of sound money through lawful, free market currency
competition! To do this, I ask you 1) give Rep. Paul the floor to explain
H.R. 1098, and 2) support and pass H.R. 1098!

Spending” (Ron Paul)
