I have been finding that there is one issue, the evil nature of our current monetary system, that brings people from different political perspectives together. This provides us with a tremendous opportunity to create a consensus among a huge number of people and then focus that political power to take a very specific action.

Eliminating the Fed is going to take some major work and major education, but passing the following two bills that have been introduced in Congress would be a big step in the right direction. Please call your congressman and ask them to cosponsor these bills. Tell all of your friends to do this and get the word out.

The two bills are the "Honest Money Act" (HR 2756), and the "Free Competition in Currency Act" (HR 4683). You can go to this website http://www.downsizedc.org/etp/campaigns/85 to find out about these bills and send your congressman a message.

Education on this issue is critical, so tell your friends to read these two books on line for free:

• What Has Government Done to Our Money? (available free at http://mises.org/rothbard/rothmoney.pdf)
• The Case for Gold, by Ron Paul (available free at http://www.mises.org/books/caseforgold.pdf)

Of all the things we can do to put our country in tune with fundamental principles of liberty, there is nothing more important than getting the monetary system fixed. Let's create a groundswell of support for these two bills and we will have taken a major step toward restoring the heart of America.
