Dear Friends of the American Monetary Institute,
Thank you all so much for your many emails in support of our activities - It is truly encouraging!
We’ve just finished some important meetings in Washington DC, and many of you are asking how it went? It went well! - the way proposing legislation has to go: part of a step by step process of the grueling work of gaining attention and support and development for the American Monetary Act among our legislators. But its not a very glamorous process. We’ll do a report soon.
While there are some who still prefer to have our money system in the hands of the banks and believe we can “regulate” our way out of the monetary problems without structural reform, others realize that regulation has failed again. After wealth and power accumulated through a privatized monetary system, the regulations were dismantled, precipitating an immoral, weak, malformed banking system into this crisis. Such regulation will always be subject to dismantling, as soon as power concentrates in an immoral money system and memories fade. Those who understand that are therefore better able to consider the need for structural monetary reform, such as we propose.
Nearly all of those Washingtonians we contact are overworked committed public servants who will try to promote what they believe is good for the general welfare. All want and need more information and analysis on a matter of such great importance as re-structuring our monetary system. Thats what the American Monetary Institute is committed to provide. We won’t let the opportunity for monetary reform slip by, that this crisis is in process of creating. Yes its going to take even more crisis! A big part of the problem is that the Congress is tremendously overworked and pressurized. But mankind may not get another such opportunity. That process is moving forward advancing now both in support and in understanding of what lies ahead. You can help us with your continued support.
Now I’m carrying the message to the West Coast with almost exactly the same presentation we made in Washington, DC. Many of you expressed interest in attending these talks so below is the full itinerary, from Chicago to California to Portland and Seattle!
(If you can’t make it into one of the talks, we can still send you the narrated power point CD presentation of it, titled The American Monetary Act. Please send a reasonable donation by PayPal (click on the donate button at our home page http://www.monetary.org) or send a check, to cover production, postage and handling costs - say $10 to $15 or more if you like - you choose depending on your situation. Include your full address since it goes by post. Send checks to AMI, PO. Box 601, Valatie, NY 12184)
Looking forward to meeting many of you on this West Coast Trip!
