Late in 2008, the John Birch Society (JBS) posted a model "Restore Sound Money and End the Fed" resolution for state legislatures (this resolution includes live links to thirteen resource documents) on its website for consideration by state legislators in their 2009 sessions. (Click here for a PDF version of the resolution.)

This resolution consists of eight "Whereas" paragraphs giving reasons for introducing and passing this resolution in a state legislature followed by this concluding paragraph:

Now therefore, be it resolved: by the Legislature of the State of _______, that the Congress of the United States, and particularly, the legislative delegation to Congress of the State of _________, are hereby urged and petitioned to use all of their efforts, energies and diligence to protect all the citizens of this nation from potential, unprecedented losses in the value of take-home pay, retirement income, insurance policies, and investments as a result of the Federal Reserve’s ongoing inflation of our unbacked paper money by passing legislation (such as H.R. 2756 to repeal our nation’s legal tender laws,¹⁰ H.R. 4683 “The Free Competition in Currency Act of 2007,”¹¹ and H.R. 5427 the “Tax-Free Gold Act of 2008,”¹²) to help restore gold and silver money in accordance with the Constitution, then phasing out the Federal Reserve System and its inflationary paper money, the Federal Reserve Note (as in H.R. 2755).¹³

On January 30, the Washington State Legislature became the first one to introduce a Restore Sound Money and End the Fed resolution based on the JBS resolution. The bill number is House Joint Memorial 4010 (HJM4010). The resolution was sponsored by Representatives Condotta, Shea, Klippert, Kretz, and McCune.

If you are not already aware of the great need for Congress to pass legislation to restore gold and silver money and phase out the Fed, be sure to view "Dollars and $ense," a 45-minute video about the nature of money and inflation, the Federal Reserve's role in inflation, and what can be done to restore sound money.

Here are several other resources to help you understand why our continued freedom and prosperity as Americans depends on Congress to restore sound money and phase out the Federal Reserve:

• "Restoring Our Freedom and Prosperity by Restoring Sound Money a la Ron Paul"
• "A Crisis of Dollars and Sense"
• "Have You Seen the Amazing St. Louis Fed Money Supply Chart as Featured on Glenn Beck TV Today?"
• "Understanding Economic Principles -- What Is Money, Inflation, Federal Reserve & Free Market"
   

If you're ready to join with other Americans to protect yourself and your family from the ravages of rampant inflation, first learn more about our Restore Sound Money and End the Fed state resolution campaign, then network with members of the John Birch Society and our allies to get such a resolution introduced and passed in your state by joining the JBS Community or finding or starting a JBS.org Freedom Campaign group in your area.

You can also take action immediately by clicking here to send the same message as contained in our model Restore Sound Money and End the Fed resolution for state legislators directly to your representative and senators in Congress.

Just as soon as you come to understand the nature of money and inflation, you'll realize why our continued freedom and prosperity depends on Congress restoring sound money and ending the Fed.

States' rights followup

In addition to ending the Fed, there are now as many as 20 states likely to introduce legislation reasserting the 10th Amendment on issues even beyond Constitutional money, as reported here:

I am writing my state congressmen about the end the Fed bill, and another to urge them to introduce and support similar states' rights legislation. We have the momentum, so let's win!

Pray

Many people are disturbed by leftist propaganda and they should be, so
Let’s all especially pray for God to enlighten Hollywood leftist and media leftist. And keep praying until He does it.
A lot of people never think out of their circle of friends and they are afraid to think upon things that are not politically correct, so keep the pressure on until they break from this leftist mental slavery.

RE: Hans F. Sennholz and his Age of Inflation and We Abolish The Fed

In order to survive, we need to put the currency back on the gold standard and issue gold and pure silver coins. We need a controlled deflation so to get food, gasoline, appliance, automobile and other goods prices to a realistically low level. It is very difficult for me to live when I have to watch my pennies and limit my driving because everything is so expensive. So we abolish the Federal Reserve and put inflation in check if we had learned anything about the hyperinflation which destroyed the Weimar German Republic and gave us Adolf Hitler. I'm fighting the socialists and communists in our own country and want them kicked out of New York City along with the sovereignty robbing UN. BGen Peter F. Steele, USMC [Ret] as my late father RADM Peter Steele, USN died knowing he was right as a capitalist. He was smarter than Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton and far more moral.
