The Federal Reserve is a significant danger to liberty, one that is simultaneously degrading people’s livelihoods and our nation’s prosperity.
According to the Constitution, Congress only has the power to “coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin,” and furthermore, “No state shall … coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts….” This means that it is unconstitutional for the Federal Reserve, a creation of Congress, to issue fiat money such as the Federal Reserve Note. Moreover, the only constitutional money is gold and silver coin.
This Restore Constitutional Money action page provides resources for learning about the nature of money, then offers actions that can be taken to restore constitutional money.
Take Action
It is imperative that JBS members and supporters work together to abolish the Federal Reserve. This is a big challenge and therefore needs dedicated and perseverant activism. Here is what you can do right away:
- If you haven’t already, join The John Birch Society and become part of a local chapter to learn more about the problem and coordinate effective action with other members.
- Distribute and share the materials listed below — including the products, articles, videos, and legislative alerts — with your fellow citizens to create awareness.
- Ultimately, the Federal Reserve must be abolished. Contact your U.S. representative and senators, along with their staff, urging them to introduce and support legislation doing just that.
- Additionally, urge your U.S. representative and senators to enact legislation to audit the Federal Reserve. This will shed much light on the bank’s activities and is a good first step toward abolition.
- Contact your state legislators in favor of legislation to nullify the Federal Reserve, ending its monopoly on currency and thus enforcing the Constitution. These include, but are not limited to, enforcing the Constitution’s Gold and Silver Clause (Article I, Section 10), expressly recognizing gold and silver as legal tender, ending taxes on gold and silver, and creating a state gold depository. In addition to calling your legislators, schedule in-person meetings to educate them on this topic.
