Only my personal mailing address is blacked out and replaced with the URL of this website. The backside of the letter has been added to the front.

Thomas Jefferson’s forewarning 

One President once said, “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the Government at defiance.

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” It was Thomas Jefferson, and he said it in an 1802 letter.

I urge all world citizens tell the presidential candidates to heed the warning of Thomas Jefferson, the drafter of the Declaration of Independence, the third President of the United States, and key founding father.

If they act in support of the BAPCPA to strengthen bankruptcy laws for the creditors and weaken them for citizens, then you they will have ignored Jefferson’s warning from 200 years ago, and you will have brought his fear to realization.

Please, do not let America’s sons and daughters wake up one day homeless, not in this country, which was founded on principals of liberty and equality; as opposed to the exploitation and prejudice that the credit industry fosters for profit.
