Friends,
The biggest attack on financial freedom that our country has ever seen may soon be happening in your own backyard. If you’ve never heard of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), it is when all money is centralized in the federal government. Your bank account would be directly controlled by the Federal Reserve as opposed to a private bank like Wells Fargo or Bank of America.
If that sounds dystopian to you, that’s because it is.
And if you think your Republican state legislature will protect you from it, you are also sadly mistaken. Bills that would change the definition of money to only currencies recognized by the government were recently considered in Arizona and South Dakota. The Arizona Freedom Caucus killed it in committee and the South Dakota Freedom Caucus successfully pressured Gov. Kristi Norm to veto it after it sailed through the state’s RINO-polluted state legislature.
This fight over financial freedom is coming to all 50 states and Freedom Caucuses will lead the charge to protect your rights. Pay close attention to the politicians who don’t.
Montana:
The Treasure State is once such place where a CBDC bill is being considered. In a state Donald Trump won by 17 points in the 2020 election, lawmakers are pushing to sign away your financial privacy rights with SB 370, which recently passed the Senate on a 32-18 vote and is now being considered in the House.
The Montana Freedom Caucus came out strongly against the bill and will fight every single day until it gets put into the trash can. Unlike most Republican politicians, the MT Freedom Caucus actually wants to protect the rights of the voters who elected them.
Pennsylvania
Democrats do not sugarcoat the fact that they despise the First Amendment. That became clear on the Pennsylvania House floor this week when a Democrat State Rep. called on the University of Pittsburgh to stop conservatives Michael Knowles, Cabot Phillips, and swimmer Riley Gaines from speaking on campus.
Luckily, the PA Freedom Caucus was already weeks ahead with pushing for legislation that would protect free speech on college campuses.
