Dear Mr. Ben Bernanke and Mr. Timothy Geithner,

Please consider this an official, although public, request for government documents as permitted under the Freedom of Information Act.

Specifically, I request all documention relative to the degradation of America’s lovely “greenbacks.” I want to know exactly who requested the treasonous changes; exactly who authorized the violation of our classic and signature currency; exactly who implemented the changes. Please include copies of all proposals, agreements, and law(s), including copies of all official signatures, as well as a list of who voted, and how they voted, to change our money. (The coins are looking quite fake, as well. Did all of the treasury artists retire and take the molds with them?)

This is America. It does not belong to the Federal Reserve. It does not belong to the Treasury Department or any usurpers of power, especially any who wish to change America for the worse. We the People want back our lovely, detailed, well-designed greenbacks. Our greenbacks were works of art. Your pastels are ugly; tacky; and off-centered. We the People never gave either of you, nor the federal government, any permission to turn our beautiful, if fiat, currency into pastel-colored, badly designed, worthless-looking representatives — to be sent worldwide — of the (un)stability of America. Who authorized these Euro-style fakes?

I have never believed the flimsy tale that the weird FRNs are less easy to counterfeit. It is time that you both, plus everyone else involved with the shafting of Americans via the Currency Coloring Game, openly admit that the underlying agenda(s) — is/are treasonous. Directly behind the dishonest manipulation of our currency is… Pastel Gradualism. Gradually people are eased in accepting colored currency like the rest of the world uses. Who authorized the unwanted changes, and the gradualism of currency conversion? I want to know! Tens of millions of Americans want to know, as well. Fabian Socialism. Creeping Progressivism. Now Pastel Gradualism.

Actually, I am sure that most Americans would very much like to understand the rationale and the agendas behind the rainbow of bills they carry. Please post all of the FOIA requested paperwork, signatures, forms, and lists to both the Federal Reserve, and the U.S. Treasury, websites, locating the information where it all can be easily found by even novice internet users.

Please immediately go back to printing ONLY greenbacks while you investigate safe and suitable disposal sites for all of the evil and unwanted pastel inks and dyes.

Thank you, and I will expect to hear from both of you in the very near future. I will send you each a paper copy of this letter with my home address so we can correspond. I will pretend that you really need me to send such information….

I am a Problem Solver, not a politician. I want truth in government. I want government to realize — and show that they are finally “getting it” — that We the People own this nation and are its Authority Figures. You work for us, and we are becoming very angry at the disrespect you are showing to We the People and to the instruction manual that you all swore to follow — The U.S. Constitution.

Sincerely,

Linda Schrock Taylor
