Half a dozen of the GOP’s top contenders for the White House are hitting the road in Iowa on a multi-city bus tour to promote the return of the gold standard for the nation’s monetary system.

The Iowa Tea Party (http://www.teapartypatriots.org/state/Iowa) and American Principles in Action (http://www.americanprinciplesinaction.org/) are co-sponsors of an 18-day bus tour (http://www.americanprinciplesinaction.org/preserving-innocence/the-iowa-tea-party-bus-tour-hits-the-road-monday/) starting today. According to a press release announcing the junket, featured speakers on the tour include Representative Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.); former pizza chain CEO Herman Cain; former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich; former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson; former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty; and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum.

Not every one of these Republican presidential candidates will appear at every stop on the circuit, but each is expected to address crowds during at least one of the scheduled meetings, according to the executive director of American Principles in Action, Andy Blom. While most of these presidential hopefuls have agreed to ride along on the tour bus, according to the latest information, Cain and Pawlenty have yet to select dates for their appearances.

The American Principles in Action organization is behind a larger movement to take the United States away from the Federal Reserve’s artificial monetary valuation scheme and return it to a tradition gold standard. As declared on the group’s Gold Standard 2012 (http://goldstandard2012.com/goldblog/) blog:



The U.S. dollar needs a sound monetary foundation, and the urgency is greater than ever. We will never rein in Washington’s spending and irresponsible, record-setting dollar creation by the Federal Reserve until we find a new standard of value that balances trade flows and gives our currency an intrinsic worth.

The Gold Standard 2012 project is an initiative of the American Principles Project that works to reach out to lawmakers to advance legislation that will put the U.S. back on the gold standard.

Ironic that the only one who TRULY would bring us back to a Gold Standard is not going on the trip. Still not sure why Ron is going...
