MONEY AS A PUBLIC UTILITY
So...What is the result of Congress having given the Money Creation Power to the private banks???. . .
THE RESULT!!! Even though we have all the physical resources and people power needed to. . .
Repair our crumbling infrastructure, fully provide for our elderly and retired citizens, provide free higher education for all of our youth, we can’t because Congress relinquished its Constitutionally delegated right–and duty–to create our nation’s money

It Happened Before and it Can Happen Again
I recently read several books on American history that have a message for what is happening in our country today.

RALLY ON SATURDAYS WITH US
Friends for Peace,
We will be walking around the 400 Block each Saturday morning at 10 am until about 11:30. Many come to walk and many come to sit on the corners of the 400 Block with signs and flags to be present for people who want to stop to talk.
Please join us as you are able! Bring a new sign if you have time. We do have some to share if you need one!
All of our hearts should be open, and in doing this we will be strengthened to take actions in support of a peaceful solution.
In Solidarity,
Carolyn, Claudette, Nancy and David

Trump’s 2016 campaign promise to appoint justices’ intent on dismantling Roe v. Wade was a very clear sign of the dangerous times ahead – and his actions in office delivered on that promise. And now, because of Trump, more than 1 in 3 women of ...
