I urge you to support HF 106, which will bring our state closer to restoring sound money and adhering to the U.S. Constitution's monetary provisions. The rampant inflation we've been seeing goes back to the unconstitutional Federal Reserve and our abandonment of constitutional money. The U.S. dollar has lost over 97 percent of its purchasing power since 1913, and the Fed's policies are ensuring that it will continue to become increasingly worthless. HF 106 will allow gold and silver to be treated as money -- as they ought. It also will help reduce the overpowerful Federal Reserve's grip on our economy. Please support HF 106, and fully restore sound money in Minnesota.

Please enact HF 106. This bill will help restore constitutional money in Minnesota. The U.S. Constitution recognizes only gold and silver as legal tender. Specifically, I refer to Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 and Article I, Section 10, Clause 1. Fiat money is not recognized. This is for good reason. When we abandoned adherence to the Constitution, inflation skyrocketed. The dollar has lost 97% of its value since 1913, and this is devastating to the younger generations. HF 106 would help rectify this by helping Minnesota return to constitutional adherence and treating gold and silver as currency. Please support this bill.

Please take action to restore sanity in our monetary policy by enacting HF 106. This bill would eliminate sales taxes on precious metals. Gold and silver are money, not commodities. It's time that we treat them as such. It makes no sense to levy taxes on money. Because of the Federal Reserve and its unconstitutional monopoly on money, the U.S. dollar has lost 97% of its value since 1913. HF 106 would reduce our dependence on the Federal Reserve, comply with Article I, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution, and restore a sound monetary policy. Please enact this bill.

I urge you to support and vote in favor of HF 106. This bill is important for treating gold and silver as money, and reducing Minnesota's dependence on the federal government. Currently the Federal Reserve -- a blatantly unconstitutional entity -- has a monopoly over money and monetary policy in the United States. The rampant inflation we're seeing, along with the fact that the dollar has lost 97% of its value since 1913, illustrates the effect it's had on our economy and society. HF 106 is needed to help nullify the Federal Reserve and its detrimental effects. Also, HF 106 is a great first step toward enforcing the Constitution’s monetary provisions. Article I, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution plainly states that “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” It’s long overdue that states begin to enforce this provision once again. Please support and vote in favor of HF 106.

I implore you to support HF 106, which would be a good first step toward enforcing the U.S. Constitution when it comes to monetary policy. Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution requires states to make only gold and silver "a Tender in Payment of Debts." Unfortunately, we've long abandoned this important provision. The result is the devaluation of the dollar, which is hurting Minnesota residents -- along with our children's and grandchildren's futures. HF 106 is an important step toward restoring adherence to both the U.S. Constitution and sound money. Please support this bill.
