Note: the final letters will be addressed properly, each to its appropriate recipient.

Please co-sponsor HR 2756, "Honest Money Act," and HR 4683, the "Free Competition in Currency Act."

My personal comment to you:

Please support the Constitution of the United States of America. The privately owned Federal Reserve is not authorized by the Constitution, is in violation of the intent of the Constitution, and is not operated in the interest of the people of the United States, therefore it should be abolished. HR 2756, "Honest Money Act," and HR 4683, the "Free Competition in Currency Act" will go a long way toward bringing to the American people the honest and stable monetary system which the Federal Reserve has failed to provide.

I will be eagerly awaiting to share your reply with friends, fellow citizens, and voters of Idaho

Blackwater above the law


From the International Herald Tribune:

Security contractor in Baghdad shooting is flying high




WASHINGTON: Last autumn, Blackwater Worldwide was in deep peril.

Guards for the security company were involved in a shooting in September that left at least 17 Iraqis dead at a Baghdad intersection. Outrage over the killings prompted the Iraqi government to demand Blackwater's ouster from the country, a criminal investigation by the FBI, a series of internal investigations by the State Department and the Pentagon, and high-profile congressional hearings.

5 USC 3108 - Sec. 3108. Employment of detective agencies; restrictions


http://vlex.com/vid/19265891

An individual employed by the Pinkerton Detective Agency, or similar organization, may not be employed by the Government of the United States or the government of the District of Columbia.


If this law doesn't cover Blackwater then the fine, upright, moral gentlemen in Congress should write a new one that does.
