Nullify the Fed! Arizona Constitutional Tender Bill on the Governors Desk for a Signatureselfnews Post The bill previously passed the state senate by a vote of 17-11. Since there was a House amendment which tightened up some of the language, constitutionally, the bill needed one final vote on the floor of the State Senate before going to Jan Brewers desk for a signature. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Currently all debts and taxes in Arizona and the rest of the United States are either paid with Federal Reserve Notes (dollars) which were authorized as legal tender by Congress, or with coins issued by the U.S. Treasury very few of which have gold or silver in them. The United States Constitution states in Article I, Section 10, No State shallmake any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts. The Constitutional tender act is a big step towards that constitutional requirement which has been ignored for a long time in every state of the country. Such a tactic would achieve the desired goal of abolishing the Federal Reserve system by attacking it from the bottom up pulling the rug out from under it by working to make its functions irrelevant at the State and local level. Once things get to that point, Federal Reserve notes would become largely unwanted and irrelevant for ordinary people. Nullifying the Fed on a state by state level is what will get us there. Without a single act of Congress, the Federal Reserve system can be brought to its knees by passing such bills in states all over the country. HOUSE AMENDMENT The amendment passed by the house makes two technical revisions to the bill on the same Constitutional principle. They are as follows: 1. Strike and taxes from line 11 LEGAL TENDER MEANS AN AUTHORIZED MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE FOR THE PAYMENT OF DEBTS AND TAXES. This part of the amendment is constitutionally-sound. It makes sure the bill is in line with Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution, which makes reference to debts, but not taxes. It reads, No State shallmake any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts. 2. Strike line 25-26: B. ANY TAX THAT IS DUE AS A CONSEQUENCE OF A TRANSACTION THAT INVOLVES SPECIE LEGAL TENDER SHALL BE PAID PROPORTIONATELY IN THE SAME LEGAL TENDER. The is constitutionally-sound for the same reason as above. Taxes, however, can be debts, so at best, this text was redundant. ACTION ITEMS for Arizona 1. Contact Governor Brewer.
