The Federal Reserve Act of 1913

The Federal Reserve is the central banking system that controls the
monetary system of the United States. Contrary to popular belief, the Federal
Reserve is not a government institution, but a private credit monopoly managing
the supply of U.S. dollars. It charges the Treasury for its services. But the
real problem is that the Fed makes its decisions behind closed doors with
little, if any, transparency or input from our elected officials. Thomas
Jefferson said, "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our
liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks
to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation,
the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the
people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent
their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and
restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
