Those are some very good Ideas above!

Here are some other considerations H.R. 1098 (Free Competition in Currency Act) H.R. 1496 (Federal Reserve Transparancy Act) H.R. 2768 (Cancelation of Public Debt to Federal Reserve) H.R. 1094 (Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act) S 202 (Senate Federal Reserve Transpanancy Act)

  • Couple other Ideas - FULL Audit of the Federal Reserve Bank (private organization) Abolish the Federal Reserve

But in the mean time i suggest watching this charming video: (Quantitative Easing Explained) A Cute Fuzzy Little Animation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTUY16CkSk&feature=player_embedded
