Dear President Obama: October 15, 2009

Below is a GREENBACK DOLLAR FACT SHEET. This paper clearly explains how we can free ourselves from the economic slavery of a debt based monetary system with debt free United States Notes (Greenbacks.) With an 11.8 trillion dollar national debt, a 1.6 trillion dollar federal budget deficit and a continual budget crisis in my state capitol of Harrisburg, the time has come for new thinking about government financing. The economic reforms proposed in the FACT SHEET, and on my web site www.rayuhric.com, will solve the financial problems at the federal, state and local level. The FACT SHEET also points out the extreme danger to America from an unrestrained national debt.

For more than five years I have been writing and calling local, state and federal politicians (including you) to propose an alternative to reckless government borrowing. I was ignored or stonewalled. I have also approached the media, academia and “think tanks.” The only positive response was an interview on the Chris Moore Show on KDKA Radio in Pittsburgh. You can link to this interview from the home page of my web site.

The GREENBACK DOLLAR FACT SHEET bluntly states that “The national debt is a scam and a scandal.” This irrefutable fact is made clear by Abraham Lincoln’s brilliant 1865 debt free monetary policy statement. This statement can be found on the home page of my web site. The national debt is a scam because it is unnecessary. And it is a scandal because this scam has been ignored by politicians, the media, academia, historians, think tanks and appointed government officials since 1865 when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. This tragedy occurred a few weeks after he announced his monetary reform policy.

It is a startling coincidence that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated five months after he signed Executive Order 11110 authorizing the Treasury to issue debt free, legal tender United States Notes. This is the same currency that was issued by Abraham Lincoln by the authority of the Legal Tender Act of 1862. Immediately after the assassinations of these two great Americans, their monetary reform policies were reversed. As a result, global investors feed on our debt like vultures on a rotting corpse.

If I had been elected to the Pennsylvania State Legislature when I ran in 2006, I would have made a motion for a nonbinding resolution requesting the U.S. Congress to immediately adopt the Constitution based Lincoln/Kennedy debt free monetary system. Unfortunately, I lost the election. As President, you can do exactly what Abraham Lincoln did in 1862 and John F. Kennedy did in 1963.

Massive government, corporate and personal debt has pushed America to the edge of financial ruin. This unrestrained usury must end. You alone have the power to reinstate the debt free monetary system that was destroyed by the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. You have the power of the United States Constitution, the law and historical precedent on your side. The economic advice you are getting is wrong. The unassailable wisdom of Lincoln, Kennedy and the founding fathers is showing you the only way out the current economic crisis. Please follow their example.

The national debt is unnecessary: In 1835 president Andrew Jackson paid off the national debt. In 1862 President Abraham Lincoln proved that the federal government does not have to borrow money. He did this by issuing legal tender, debt free United States Notes (Greenback dollars.) This action was taken under the authority of the Legal Tender Act of 1862.

Today, the United States Treasury can issue more debt free United States Notes in any amount required by the American economy and for government spending. Greenbacks could also be used to replace the money raided from social security and Medicare and the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation. This action will permanently ensure the solvency of these vitally important government programs. This should not cause inflation because money is a medium of exchange, not a commodity. And, by law, the value of the dollar is set by Congress, not currency speculators.

This money can be used for any purpose that will benefit the American people. For example: Low interest (or no interest) mortgages, credit cards, student loans, car loans (for American cars only) and business loans. This money can be used to pay for universal health care, repairing and rebuilding our national infrastructure and any other good, sensible purpose.

The government could use whatever proper means necessary to require repayment of its loans (but not to make or protect a profit.) Repayment would be enforced because willfully, and without cause, refusing to repay a loan is theft. And theft is a crime subject to penalties under the legal code of the United States.

Government, corporate and personal debt is a cancer that is eating away at the fabric of America. For five years, I have been trying to combat this disease without success.

The purpose of the GREENBACK DOLLAR FACT SHEET is to warn the American people about the debt cancer that is a grave threat to our country. The bankers and financial markets have pushed America to the edge of financial ruin. It is time for the American people to push back with Abraham Lincoln’s debt free monetary policy.

Please help me and the American people throw off the merciless shackle of debt. This is your duty as an elected government official. We must pull the dangerous debt parasite from the fiscal body of the United States before it is too late. Thank you for your help.

Dear Congressman ……: October 30, 2009

Thank you for answering my letter. I was disappointed, however, that you said nothing about the important points that I brought to your attention.

Your letter was composed in such a way that you never addressed my statement that the national debt is a cash cow for Wall Street and the financial markets. You had no comment on my statement that the national debt is a scam and a scandal. And you had nothing to say about Abraham Lincoln’s debt free monetary policy. I am asking you direct questions. Please, give me direct, point by point answers.

What do you think about the fact that Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy both issued debt free, legal tender, United States Notes (Greenbacks) directly from the Treasury into the economy? What are your thoughts about the historical fact that their debt free monetary policies were immediately abandoned after they were assassinated? Wouldn’t Treasury issued debt free money be far better for America than borrowing trillions of dollars from the global credit markets and sticking the taxpayers with the debt? Please address these issues with a point by point statement for the historical record.

You should know that 300 million dollars worth of debt free United States Notes are currently part of our national money supply. Congress can put this debt free money back into circulation tomorrow. Did you know that you/Congress have/has the legal authority to increase the statutory limit of this debt free money to any amount necessary to satisfy the needs of the American people and stimulate our economy?

In order to put 300 million dollars into today's monetary　context, consider this: 300 million dollars was

16.7 % of the $1,800,000,000　money supply in 1866 when Greenbacks were in circulation.　 Today's M2 money supply is approximately $8 trillion.　 16.7 % of　8 trillion dollars is　1.336 trillion dollars.　 It gets better. The original issue of　Greenbacks was $449,338,902.　 $449,338,902　is a shade under 25 % of $1,800,000,000.　 25 % of $8 trillion is two trillion dollars.　 That would　be a tremendous debt free economic stimulus.　 And remember, Congress has the statutory authority to issue　any amount that our stagnant economy requires. Why do politicians borrow trillions of dollars when a national debt is unnecessary?

Compared to Abraham Lincoln’s monetary policy as stated on the home page of my web site www.rayuhric.com., our current monetary system is fantastically stupid. The American people have been conditioned to believe that debt slavery to the global financial markets is normal and necessary. It isn’t. If you think I’m wrong to say this, please explain why you think I’m wrong, directly, point by point.

You had nothing to say about the other economic and monetary reforms proposed on my web site. This is the typical response I have received over the last five years. Politicians, the media, think tanks, academia, it’s always the same. I’m stonewalled with silence or blatant evasion of the substance of my correspondence.

Please make the “tough choice” and follow the example of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy.

Dear ……..…..: October 31, 2009

Thank you for answering my letter. I was disappointed, however, that you said nothing about the important points that I brought to your attention. You said: “the matter is federal in nature.” I disagree. Our massive national debt is a problem for all Americans.

You never addressed my statements that “The national debt is a cash cow for Wall Street and the financial markets” and “The national debt is a scam and a scandal.” And you had nothing to say about Abraham Lincoln’s debt free monetary policy. In fact, your letter skillfully avoided using my words “debt free” which was the whole point of my letter.

I said in my letter: “This paper clearly explains how we, the American people (this includes you), can free ourselves from the slavery of a debt based monetary system. The economic reforms proposed on my web site www.rayuhric.com will solve the financial problems at the federal, state and local level.” With a continual financial crisis in Harrisburg, I assumed you would find my web site very interesting. The 11.8 trillion dollar national debt affects you even though “the matter is federal in nature.”

You said nothing about my proposal for a non binding resolution requesting the United States Congress to immediately adopt Abraham Lincoln’s debt free monetary policy. I got the idea for this non binding resolution when I learned that the Republican controlled Legislature had sent a non binding resolution to the United States Congress requesting that the Bush Administration’s tax cuts be made permanent. Actually, I find that action very puzzling. Cutting federal taxes reduces federal revenue and thus money available to be sent to the states. You said in your letter, “Pennsylvania spending must reflect available resources.” Why would you want to reduce the available resource of federal funding?

My monetary reforms, on the other hand, would increase the amount of federal money available to the states -- including Pennsylvania. This would be accomplished, without borrowing money, with no increase in the national debt and no increase in taxes. Why would you ignore such a proposal? Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy legally issued debt free money. The non binding resolution would remind President Obama that he too can issue debt free money. He and Congress are given this authority by the Constitution.

Treasury issued debt free money would lower taxes and reduce debt for Pennsylvania and America. I don’t understand why you showed no interest in my monetary reforms. State and local governments across the nation are cutting benefits and essential services because of a lack of money. Deregulation and Wall Street greed have plunged America into a severe recession and this, of course, reduces tax revenue. Borrowing money from China, the Middle East and Japan to make up the shortfall is a recipe for disaster.

The citizens of Pennsylvania will directly benefit from the adoption of Abraham Lincoln’s debt free monetary policy and my economic reforms. We will get lower taxes, lower debt, universal health care, job creation and the permanent solvency of social security, Medicare and the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation.

Please help me pursue the important objectives of reining in the national debt and lowering taxes. You can provide invaluable assistance by printing my economic reform articles. These articles are based on material from my web site. As a prominent member of the media, you, unlike me, are in a position to get the attention of Congress.

Government, corporate and personal debt is a cancer that is eating away at the fabric of America. The current economic crisis is far more dangerous than the American people have been led to believe. The purpose of the GREENBACK DOLLAR FACT SHEET is to inform the American people about the real solutions to our country‘s financial woes.

Dear Mr. ……..: October 31, 2009

I am very disappointed that you have chosen to ignore my correspondence.

Apparently, the idea of freeing the American people from the economic slavery of a debt based monetary system does not appeal to you. Your silence would seem to indicate that our exploding national debt is of no concern to you. The content of my letter and the economic and monetary reforms proposed on my web site www.rayuhric.com are newsworthy. I can’t imagine why you won’t at least acknowledge my letter.

Your silence causes me to suspect that you don’t want your readers to know what I have to say about the extent of Wall Street and financial market corruption? Are you afraid your readers will join me in asking: Why was the media virtually silent until it was too late to prevent disaster? As a result, the American people were blindsided by another financial meltdown. There was no effective warning about our house of cards financial system, insolvent fractional reserve banking, a housing bubble inflated by phony appraisals, bogus credit checks, predatory “securitization” of junk mortgages, corrupt rating agencies, etc.

Ironically, there were people shouting a warning. In 1996 Bill Still produced the ground breaking Money Masters video series. It was aired right here in Pittsburgh on the local Christian television station. The Money Masters explicitly forewarned America about the current global credit crisis and “Great Recession.” Why didn’t any of the news hounds at your paper notice? I did. I bought the Money Masters tapes and spread the word to anybody who would listen. But nobody was interested because the media wasn‘t interested.

In June of 2004 I began writing to politicians, the media (including the your newspaper), think tanks and academics -- I was ignored. Five years later, I am still ignored. Today, I challenge you to put me in the rotation with your other columnists. My column will be based on material from my web site. There will be no banalities in my articles.

What do you think of this headline?

What do you think of this opening paragraph?

Give me the OK and I will start writing the column immediately. What is the word limit?
