DATE: September 10, 1991
SUBJECT: Enclosed Letter to 50 State Governors
Enclosed please find a copy of our letter and attachments to
the 50 Governors of the sovereign States of the Union.
With this letter, we place these 50 Governors on notice that
a great fraud and deception have been fastened upon the American
people.
This fraud and deception are the result of a private credit
monopoly (the Federal Reserve System) and a repressive and
confiscatory taxing syndicate (the Internal Revenue Service) that
have been imposed upon us without our consent.
We petition the Governors to understand that heavy
government borrowing and excessive taxation go hand-in-hand, that
a foreign jurisdiction has obtained control of money and credit
in America, and that the situation is now so serious, it
threatens systematically to corrupt and destroy the very
foundations of our modern civilization.
Help us to assist the Governors to understand that Congress
has seized vast powers from the States for the federal government
by means of gross deficit spending, heavy government borrowing,
and unlawful delegation of monetary powers to a private banking
cartel.
Help us to abolish the specter of modern slavery which now
threatens to destroy the essential rights and freedoms which made
this a great nation and the envy of others around the world.
Please join us in demanding the 50 Governors to act
decisively in accordance with their solemn oath of office: to
uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States from all
enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Help us to restore a government which has drifted so far off
course, it hardly resembles the constitutional republic it was
designed to be.

Dear Governor :
We are writing in order to notify you formally that a great
fraud and deception have been fastened upon the people of your
State. In so doing, we place you on notice of this fraud and
deception, and request that you exercise your solemn oath of
office to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States
and the rights of the people.
Our forefathers waged the War of Independence, suffered
enormous sacrifices, and even gave their lives to sever our
nation from an unlawful jurisdiction imposed on them by the King
of England. This jurisdiction is known as Admiralty Law. Its
primary beneficiary is the Federal Reserve System, a private
credit monopoly once described by Congressman Louis T. McFadden
as "one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever
known". Congressman McFadden was Chairman of the House Banking
and Currency Committee from 1927 to 1933.
By utter deceit and a failure to abide by the mandates of
the U.S. Constitution, our lawmakers have imposed this same
unlawful jurisdiction back upon the people. This was done
through the chicanery and great pressure applied by the
international banking community, whose aim has always been to
control the issuance of money and credit. Foremost among these
bankers was Mayer Amschel Rothschild who stated,
"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I
care not who makes the laws."
We are now in an undeclared economic war, and the enemy is
winning!
If the people of this nation had not been raped by the great
banking cartels, we would have no poor or homeless in our nation;
to quote an editorial in the London Times in 1865, we would by
now have become:
"... prosperous beyond precedent in the history of the
civilized governments of the world."
Page I - 4 of 14
Appendix I
This same editorial went on to predict that our nation would
pay off its debts and be without a debt. It would have all the
money necessary to carry on its commerce. The brains and wealth
of all countries would go to North America. For these reasons,
the London Times urged that our government be destroyed, or it
would destroy every monarchy on the globe!
American history reveals that Benjamin Franklin traveled to
England as a representative of the Colonies. The British
officials there asked how it was the Colonies managed to collect
enough taxes to build poor houses, and how they handled this
terrible burden of caring for the poor. Franklin's reply was
simple and direct:
"We have no poor houses in the Colonies, and if we had, we
would have no one to put in them, as in the Colonies there
is not a single unemployed man, no poor and no vagabonds."
He went on to explain the underlying reason for this:
"It is because in the Colonies we issue our own paper money.
We call it Colonial Script, and we issue only enough to move
all goods freely from the producers to the Consumers; and
as we create our money, we control the purchasing power of
money, and have no interest to pay."
As Franklin knew so well, this system guarantees honest
money. There would be no need for inflation or deflation, as
long as the money supply was kept equal to the value of goods to
be moved.
Contrast this condition to that of England: all her money
was borrowed from banks, and repressive taxes were laid upon the
people. Banks usurped the government's right to create and
regulate money. Banks created money or credit "out of thin air",
by mere bookkeeping entries, with no labor or wealth involved or
exchanged.
Today, we suffer from the same debt money system here in
America. As a result, the nation's wealth is being
systematically transferred from a nation of producers to a
syndicate of lenders, who have done nothing in any way to earn it
or warrant it.
Why should the people pay tribute to a private credit
monopoly for the benefit of using their own money? The people
retain an unalienable right to create their own medium of
exchange, through their elected representatives in the Congress
of the United States, as mandated by the Constitution. When this
right was challenged by the British, the Colonists went to war.
Benjamin Franklin identified this as the real reason for the War
of Independence:
Page I - 5 of 14
The Federal Zone:
"The Colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea
and other matters, had it not been that England took away
from the Colonies their money, which created unemployment
and dissatisfaction."
We believe that President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated
for his creation of "United States Notes", and for his refusal to
borrow debt money from banks. Lincoln was quoted to say:
"The people can and will be furnished with a currency as
safe as their own Government. Money will cease to be master
and become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise
superior to the money power."
Governor, with your help, and with the grace of God, this can
still happen.
Governor, we expect you to understand that debt money and
excessive taxes go hand-in-hand. Today, Americans pay over
10,000 PERCENT more in taxes than did Colonial Americans.
Federal income taxes are confiscated under duress, even though
they are voluntary under law, and apply only to persons in
federal enclaves or possessions.
The framers made it plain that "No money shall be drawn from
the Treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by Law"
(Article I, Section 9, Clause 7). Nevertheless, a philosophy of
"tax, tax; spend, spend; elect, elect" began in the Roosevelt
era when the U.S. Supreme Court relaxed traditional restrictions
on the Federal Government in the Butler case (297 US 1, 1936).
In this case, the Court interpreted the "general welfare"
clause as a general grant of power to Congress to tax and spend
for anything it felt was in the interest of the nation's welfare.
This ruling opened the U.S. Treasury to unlimited looting by
politicians who saw this as a golden opportunity to increase
taxes and buy votes with federally funded projects in their
respective States. A massive share of this funding is now done
through heavy government borrowing!
Governor, if this situation is not changed, the destiny of
our nation is literally in the hands of international bankers and
their cohorts. As German statesman and soldier Bismarck
predicted:
"The death of Lincoln was a disaster for Christendom .... I
fear that foreign bankers with their craftiness and tortuous
tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America
and use them systematically to corrupt modern civilization.
They will not hesitate to plunge the whole of Christendom
into wars and chaos in order that the earth shall become
their inheritance."

Appendix I
For our own sake, and for the sake of our posterity, we pray
that you will be earnest in your endeavor to help set our nation
aright. Honor your oath of office, so that your constituents and
our Creator may properly show you respect, and that you too may
proclaim, with Benjamin Franklin:
"I can appear cheerfully before God fearing nothing from His
justice in this particular."
Governor, join us to help restore the laws and liberties
that our founding fathers fought so hard to win and leave to us,
their posterity.
Please take the time necessary to study personally the
material enclosed with this letter. It summarizes the fraud we
now suffer, from a private credit monopoly and a confiscatory
taxing syndicate imposed upon us without our consent.
Then, honor us by acting decisively in accordance with your
solemn oath of office: to uphold and defend the Constitution of
the United States from all enemies, both foreign and domestic, so
help you God.
Yours for liberty and justice,

Appendix I
Why, Pilgrim, Don't You Act?
an excerpt from the book Tax Scam, by Alan Stang:
"As you know, the Constitution reserves the power over money to
the Congress, which power Congress is forbidden to delegate. How
would you respond, were Congress illegally to give its power to a
private corporation, like Ford or Xerox, or Occidental Petroleum
or IBM, or a new corporation organized for the purpose? Suppose
Congress confiscated your gold and gave it to that private
corporation. Suppose that private corporation issued currency
the government forced you to use, and on which it forced you to
pay interest. Suppose that private corporation extended credit
('cheap money') and then called the loans; did so time after
time, creating endless boom and bust; thereby farming the farmer
and bringing the people to their knees -- protesting all the
while in a blizzard of propaganda that it was fighting these
things.
"How would you respond? Do we exaggerate when we speculate that
you would call it the biggest scandal of all time? Are we far
afield when we guess that you would demand a special prosecutor,
complete with hearings, to expose the conspiracy; seizure of the
corporation's assets and abolition of the corporation; long
prison terms for the perpetrators, in government and out; and
restoration to Congress of the money power, in obedience to the
Constitution?
"Pilgrim, if that is close to what you would demand, may we ask
respectfully why you have not demanded it -- because the
private corporation we have been talking about is the Federal
Reserve System.

Promises Made, Promises Broken
In promoting passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, its
sponsors, and those working to see it passed, made ten promises:
1. To operate entirely under the direction and control of the
President and his appointees to the Board of Governors.
2. To pay interest to the government for the privilege of
printing Federal Reserve Notes as the nation's currency.
3. To perform many banking services for the government free of
charge.
4. To manage the nation's money supply so as to stabilize the
dollar which, in turn, would stabilize prices.
5. To remove the United States from the control of Wall Street.
6. To prevent depressions and eliminate "boom and bust" cycles.
7. To be a friend and helper to farmers and to the monetary
needs of small businesses.
8. To create a system that would remain forever decentralized,
so each Federal Reserve Bank would have as much influence in
monetary policies as the one in New York City.
9. To protect American interests against foreign monetary
assaults.
10. To supervise and inspect local banks and provide funds when
they were pressed by unexpected demands.
Contrary to promises, the effects of the Federal Reserve Act have
been disastrous:
1. Judged by the promises at the time the act was passed,
including a stable currency and elimination of boom and bust
cycles, the Fed must be rated, at best, a colossal failure.
2. The Federal Reserve action of curtailing the nation's money
supply by a third in 1929 converted a serious recession into
a disastrous depression, destroying one-third of the
nation's banks in the process.
3. Judged on the basis of the U.S. Constitution and by the
intent of its framers, the Federal Reserve Act and
amendments are clearly unconstitutional.

Appendix I
4. The present system, requiring people and businesses to pay
interest to the banks on every Federal Reserve dollar in
circulation, is a devastating and needless burden, adding to
bankruptcies in a recession and severely hampering recovery.
An Honest Money System, based on debt-free money, is
essential to the economic well-being of the people all
across the U.S.
5. An unstable national money supply is a debilitating handicap
at best and, at worst, not only causes but worsens "boom or
bust" business cycles so destructive of the people's best
interests.
6. The people of America now suffer from needless recessions
brought on by the cumulative effects of inflation and
interest-bearing debt financing encouraged by the Federal
Reserve System.

How It All Began
an excerpt from the book A Writ for Martyrs, by Eustace Mullins:
"The income tax amendment and the Federal Reserve Act were passed
in the same year, 1913, because they function as an essential
team, and were planned to do so. The Federal Reserve districts
and the Internal Revenue Districts are "new states," which have
been established within the jurisdictions of legal states of the
Union. But why were they so established, and why are they co-
functional? The Internal Revenue Service has the duty of
collecting large amounts of taxes from employed Americans, solely
as an agent of the Federal Reserve System. It was not
accidental, nor was it coincidental, that these acts coincided
with the preparations of World War I. The necessity for income
tax "collections" did not become obvious for some years. The
U.S. Congress had awarded the Federal Reserve System the power to
issue money, despite the fact that the Federal Reserve bank stock
was entirely owned by private stockholders. The Federal Reserve
System then began to issue large amounts of profitable interest-
bearing "U.S. dollars," without control from any government
agency. It became apparent that the Federal Reserve System must
set up its own system of controls, which it did through the
Internal Revenue Service. Here again, the "Service" was not a
service to the U.S. Government, nor a service to the American
people. It was a service to the Federal Reserve System. The IRS
performed the necessary task of "sopping up" the enormous amounts
of money issued by the private stockholders of the Federal
Reserve System to finance their systematic acquisition of all the
property of the people of the United States.
"If these billions of paper instruments remained in continuous
circulation, they would become mere assignats, not worth a
Continental. The money is controlled by confiscatory taxation
through the agency of the Internal Revenue Service. The system
was laid down by David Ricardo, son of Abraham Israel, an
Amsterdam stock manipulator who moved to England and made a
fortune with the Rothschilds in the Waterloo speculations.
Ricardo developed the technique of controlling the people through
taxation. His direct descendant, Rita Ricardo Campbell, now
advises President Reagan on Social Security.
"As the largely worthless paper assignats are forcibly removed
from circulation by the zealous activities of the Internal
Revenue Service, the Federal Reserve System can then issue more
billions of paper currency to the public. The constant flow of
"new money" deceives the public into thinking these assignats
have real value.
Page I - 12 of 14
Appendix I
"The IRS also fulfills Ricardo's dictum that the worker must
never be allowed to enjoy more than a bare subsistence wage.
Income tax, withholding tax, Social Security tax and other taxes
fulfill Ricardo's dictum. With no money beyond bare subsistence,
the workers are effectively prevented from engaging in political
activity. In effect, the IRS functions as the slave overseer of
the great American plantation, plying the lash freely in order to
keep the workers bent to their tasks. However, neither the
function of sopping up paper money for the Federal Reserve System
nor the controlling of the workers by robbing them of their wages
is a proper function of the United States Government."

Church, P. O. Box 1105, Staunton, VA 24401, 1985, pages 190-191]
