Libertarian Chuck Donovan Supports Georgia House Bill 3, The Constitutional Tender Act

"No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility." Our Federal "representatives" have decided to ignore this part of the Constitution.  Georgia HB3 begins returning our country to honest money by holding The Georgia State government to a verifiable and Constitutional standard. House Bill 3 needs cosponsors and supporters to get passed the Georgia Assembly and signed into law by the Governor. This single Bill will force the Federal Reserve from our lives thereby protecting our retirements from the ravages of inflation.  Vladimir Lenin said; "The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation."  Let us fight against the crush of our failing dollar. When this Bill passes you will hear a rush of new bank accounts opening in Georgia thereby halting bank failures all over the state. Dr. Greene tells us the most powerful way to over come the banking lobbyists in the State of Georgia, who oppose this Bill, is the number of letters we get onto the desks of our representatives.  I ask that you get your family and friends, acquaintances and neighbors to write their representatives and ask that they co-sponsor this Bill. Follow Steps 1, 2, and 3 below.  Ask at least two other people to do the same.   Imagine 500,000 letters on State Representative desks between now and the opening of session in January. The fight for liberty never ends.  This is a small thing for you to do that will benefit your fellow Georgians, their families, their prosperity, and their freedom. In liberty, CHUCK DONOVAN The mission is liberty. The vision is now. Follow these steps - at least to Step #4 - to give your fellow Georgians an opportunity to conduct business with honest money: 1.
