Whereas: Congress created the Federal Reserve in 1913, and
Whereas: In the 104 years since its creation, the value of the dollar has fallen by over 96%, and
Whereas: The Federal Reserve has been allowed to manipulate the value of the dollar as a direct result of lack of competing currencies, and
Whereas: History has shown that the average lifespan for fiat currency is 100 years, and
Whereas: West Virginia's Legal Tender Act (HB 2684) would allow for competing currencies, protect West Virginia citizens from the ill effects of Federal Reserve policy, and attract new investments and jobs to West Virginia, among other benefits.
Therefore, I urge you to vote “YES” on HB 2684 at every opportunity.
