Honest money, the dollar, and South Carolina (http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2011/05/honest-money-the-dollar-and-south-carolina/)

The South Carolina Legislature, with S.862 (http://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess119_2011-2012/bills/862.htm), and H.4128 (http://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess119_2011-2012/prever/4128_20110426.htm), may turn back the clock on central government economic power. The bills’ stated goal:
To amend the code of laws of South Carolina, 1976, by adding article 18 to chapter 1, title 1 so as to provide that gold or silver coin, or both, shall be legal tender in this state for payment of certain debts; and by adding article 26 to chapter 1, title 1 so as to establish a join committee for the adoption of a alternate form of currency.
Reintroducing gold and silver as money can kill the engine of central government growth.
Once upon a time, the dollar was simply defined as 1/20-ounce of gold. “Dollar” was simply a familiar name for a convenient quantity of a universally valued commodity.

Support this legislation. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start. For the first time in a lifetime, it associates gold with day-to-day financial transactions. South Carolina agreed not to coin money when it ratified the Constitution, but also refused to accept anything other than gold or silver as payment. Ultimately, we must force the central government to pay its bills in gold or silver, if we hope to restrain it.
