ALEC Legislation - Could Replace US Dollar


Previously I had published two different entries on the states push for establishing gold and silver as legal tender.

It first came up at the ALEC Annual Meeting last year which I covered in this entry.

ALEC – State Currencies, Distrust of Printed Money
From the ALEC Annual Meeting
Fifty states
Fifty different currencies
People minting their own currency

It’s not just Utah’s public land issues that find a warm reception at ALEC. The organization’s federalism task force also adopted model legislation on Thursday patterned after Utah’s Legal Tender Act, which seeks to enable gold and silver coins to be used in business transactions.

Larry Hilton, a leader in Utah’s gold movement, said ALEC’s action is an important step toward helping states exercise their constitutional role in setting monetary policy.

The topic re-surfaced again when Arizona – the ALEC State – also passed legislation making silver and gold legal tender.

2/28/2013
50 States, 50 Different Currencies ALEC Legal Tender Act
TODAY
Arizona's Republican-controlled Senate passed a bill on Wednesday to make gold and silver legal tender in the state.

According to Capitol Media Services, Republicans who pushed the measure through said they feared the value of the dollar could tank, making the law necessary. While the U.S. Constitution bans states printing their own currency, supporters argued it does not prohibit private organizations from minting gold and silver coins.

If the bill is approved by the state House and signed by Gov. Jan Brewer (R),

Fifty states
Fifty different currencies

Both of these are directly connected to ALEC and I wanted my readers to understand that ALEC members appear to be intentionally and with malice undermining the currency of the United States with the “copy/past” ALEC Sound Money Act – that the ‘bill mill” ALEC is handing out at their meetings.

What I didn’t know at the time I wrote those entries was a disturbing find in the an article written by investigative journalism written by Bob Sloan – Voter Legislative Transparency Project.


With Mr. Sloan’s permission I am going to share with you from his article the alarming information regarding the passage of the ALEC Sound Money Act – that should be a very disconcerting for all Americans.

Media Matters reported upon ALEC’s International Relations Task Force pursuits at their Annual Conference held in Salt Lake City this past July:

        “This year ALEC’s International Relations Task Force passed two such resolutions opposing cuts to the Pentagon budget and urging the relaxation of regulations around the export of “dual-use” technology. The IR Task Force, co-chaired by Rep. Harold Brubaker (R-NC) and Brandie Davis of Philip Morris International (a 2012 ALEC private sector “Member of the Year”) also adopted resolutions opposing a “global UN tax” and UN control of the Internet. Among the model bills to emerge from the IR Task Force is a “Sound Money Act” that would eliminate taxation on gold and silver coins and allow their use as legal tender alongside currency issued by the U.S. Treasury.
Remember Brandie Davis is a lobbyist.

    opposing cuts to the Pentagon budget
    relaxation of regulations around the export of “dual-use” technology
    opposing a “global UN tax”
    and UN control of the Internet.
        Now – if that isn’t “tinfoil hat” thinking – I don’t know what is!!!
AND
“Sound Money Act” that would eliminate taxation on gold and silver coins and allow their use as legal tender alongside currency issued by the U.S. Treasury
FOREIGN NATIONALS VOTED ON THIS!!!!

The “Sound Money Act” was first thought up by Utah.  You have to remember that ALEC is the “bill mill” where state legislators go to plagiarize “copy/paste” legislation that someone else has written.
The Utah law exempts “the sale of gold from the state capital gains tax” and the proposed Missouri legislation exempts gold and silver coins/bullion from state and local sales and use taxes and state individual and corporate income taxes.
Well that is an absolute boon for those who can afford to own gold and silver.
Which would mean that those of us who can’t afford to own gold and silver would end up having to pay more taxes to cover the tax deficit caused by those who have gold and silver.
And this particular legislation designed to allow gold and silver to replace or be used in lieu of legal US Currency, originated in ALEC’s IRTF (International Relations Task Force).
“legislation designed to allow gold and silver to replace or be used in lieu of legal US Currency”
Sounds like a seditionist act if you ask me.
Considering that members of the governments of at least seven foreign nations – with the value of their national currency established (at least in part) upon the value of the U.S. dollar – worked writing this ALEC Sound Money Act, let’s consider what the impact upon our national currency is expected to be from this ALEC legislation.  As explained by the Republic Enterprises, Inc., a supporter of this ALEC model:
Foreign nationals
Foreign currencies
US currency
    “Eight state legislatures are considering legislation to allow gold and silver to be legal tender within their state. Several others are debating resolutions to request an audit or repeal of the Federal Reserve. These proposals are currently working their way through the slow legislative process, but should another economic crisis occur, these acts could be quickly dusted off and enacted.
“As explained by the Republic Enterprises, Inc., a supporter of this ALEC model:”
“but should another economic crisis occur, these acts could be quickly dusted off and enacted.”
    “If any state were to authorize gold or silver as a legal currency, Austrian Economics  tells us the economy of that state would quickly stabilize and prosper. In the larger picture, such an act would contribute to a decline in the value of the dollar and an immediate increase in the demand for gold and silver.“
“such an act would contribute to a decline in the value of the dollar”
It appears a devalued U.S. dollar would increase the values of foreign currencies    possibly of the very countries involved in advancing this piece of legislation that has now become law in two U.S. states, is being pursued in 8 more and without doubt will be introduced at the federal level at some point by an ALEC Alum.

Foreign Nationals messing with ALEC legislation that affects
our currency
our economy
our country
Foreign Nationals working with ALEC on legislation that will HELP FOREIGN COUNTRIES while the ALEC legislation brings havoc to the US economy.

A U.S. “law” developed in conjunction with foreign representatives (outside official government channels) at secretive meetings – away from the public and media – that results in establishing state or U.S. policies and legislation such as the Sound Money Act, should be illegal – if it isn’t already.

THIS is why NO “ALEC State legislator’ has any business screwing around with foreign/international policy that ultimately affects the United States as a whole.

All of this done outside the purview of the US Treasury Department.

As I noted in an earlier entry,
We are talking STATE legislators here – NOT foreign diplomats.
the lowly state legislator
These are men and women through the United States who are making laws for the first time in their lives.
For the great majority of state legislators, being a lawmaker is their second career.  They are businessmen and women, lawyers or doctors or architects or homemakers.

We are talking STATE legislators here – NOT foreign diplomats.
We are talking STATE legislators.
Most of them have never seen a Euro.
Most of them couldn't tell you the difference between the US Treasury and the Fed.

Are you kidding me – state legislators from ho-bunk towns in the United States making “international” resolutions and dealing with currency issues.
You have got to be kidding me!
You have got to be kidding me!

Most of them haven’t even been out of state – except to go to an ALEC meeting – for free – on a corporate ALEC scholarship – which is a whole different kind of fake currency that ultimately affects the United States as a whole.

As I noted in a previous (yet different) blog entry – it is very important for people to understand that the legislative members of the American Legislative Exchange Council have virtually NO foreign affairs experience.  When foreign nationals are allowed to participate in and help with the ALEC “model legislation” process, a huge problem occurs – because most “ALEC state legislators” probably have NO IDEA what the foreign nationals are even talking about.

Every global citizen should be questioning why state legislators are participating in an ALEC task force that deals with international issues.
