Ron Paul bill - H.R. 4248, The Free Competition in Currency Act of 2009

Washington – Tear Down Your Wall Against Currency Competition

On December 9, 2009, Congressman Ron Paul introduced the Free Competition in Currency Act before the US House. The need for this legislation is a clear indication of how far our financial rights and freedoms have fallen in the United States as much of the world outside Washington’s financial iron curtain already have free competition in currencies.
