Please note : On XX/XX/XXXX, the UNITED STATES congress passed House Joint Resolution 192, which served as a declaration of bankruptcy. Congress declared in HJR 192 that demanding payments in Gold ( constitutional money ) or in any particular form would now be against public policy. At the same time, President Roosevelt issued executive order 6102 forbidding the hoarding of gold coins, gold bullion and certificates. With this executive order, Roosevelt ordered that most of the gold in circulation be turned in to Federal Reserve Banks across the nation under the threat of fines and 10 years imprisonment.

What the leaders at the time failed to disclose was, that with the confiscation of all gold ( money ) and property, that made all Americans ( Spelled in Proper case ) CREDITORS to the U.S. bankruptcy. Because of the passage of HJR 192, it was now illegal for Americans to pay for anything. Gold was traded for Federal Reserve notes of indebtedness, which made paying for anything impossible, as notes of debt do not pay for anything but delay the payment until a later date. What the government offered instead of gold was CREDIT, but they offered it to the banks, not the people. 

The Passage of HJR 192 JOINT RESOLUTION TO SUSPEND THE GOLD STANDARD AND ABROGATE THE GOLD CLAUSE XX/XX/XXXX H.J.192 73rd Cong. 1st Session Joint resolution to assure uniform value to the coins and currencies of the United States.

Whereas the holding of or dealing in gold affect the public interest, and therefore subject to proper regulation and restriction ; and Whereas the existing emergency has disclosed that provisions of obligations which purport to give the obligee a right to require payment in gold or a particular kind of coin or currency of the United States, or in an amount of money of the United States measured thereby, obstruct the power of the Congress to regulate the value of money of the United States, and are inconsistent with the declared policy of the Congress to maintain at all times the equal power of every dollar, coined or issued by the United States, in the markets and in payment of debts.

Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That ( a ) every provision contained in or made with respect to any obligation which purports to give the obligee a right to require payment in gold or a particular kind of coin or currency, or in an amount of money of the United States measured thereby, is declared to be against public policy ; and no such provision contained in or made with respect to any obligation hereafter incurred. Every obligation, heretofore or hereafter incurred, whether or not any such provisions is contained therein or made with respect thereto, shall be discharged upon payment, dollar for dollar, in any such coin or currency which at the time is legal tender for public and private debts. Any such provision contained in any law authorizing obligations to be issued by or under authority of the United States, is hereby repealed, but the repeal of any such provision shall not invalidate any other provision or authority contained in such law.

( b ) As used in the resolution, the term " obligation '' means an obligation ( including every obligation of and to the United States, excepting currency ) payable in money of the United States ; and the term " coin or currency '' means coin or currency of the United States, including Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve banks and national banking associations.

SEC. 2. The last sentence of paragraph ( 1 ) of subsection ( b ) of section 43 of the Act entitled " An Act to relieve the existing national economic emergency by increasing agricultural purchasing power, to raise revenue for extraordinary expenses incurred by reason of such emergency, to provide emergency relief with respect to agricultural indebtedness, to provide for the orderly liquidation of joint-stock land banks, and for other purposes '', approved XX/XX/XXXX, is amended to read as follows : " All coins and currencies of the United States ( including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve banks and national banking associations ) hereunto and hereafter coined or issued, shall be legal tender for all debts, for public and private, public charges, taxes, duties, and dues, except gold coins, when below the standard weight and limit of tolerance provided by law for the single piece, shall be legal tender only at valuation in proportion to their actual weight. '' Approved XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX 

Additionally The Federal Government took our lawful money out of circulation in XXXX  but Congress had to provide the people a remedy. Public Law : " Chap. 48, 48 Stat. 112 '' under HJR 192 is that remedy and in part states that the Federal Government will discharge all of our debts, public and private, dollar for dollar.

1. House Joint Resolution. 73rd Congress. Session 1. Chapters 48 & 49. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  H.J.R. 192. 1491 Public Law 1 48 Stat 1confirmed in
~Perry v. U.S. ( XXXX  ) 294 U.S. 330-381, 79 LEd 912, as well as ~Title 31 United States Code ( USC ) 5112, 5119 and again 12 USC 95a. When a government goes bankrupt, it loses its sovereignty.

2. Public Law 10 Chapter 48, 48 Stat. 112.

3. Public Law 73-10 40 Stat 411 Act ( TWEA ) XXXX XXXX XXXX  1 ) That, Legal tender under the Uniform Commercial Code ( U.C.C. ), Section 1-201 ( 24 ) ( Official Comment ) ; The referenced Official Comment notes that the definition of money is not limited to legal tender under the U.C.C. The test adopted is that of sanction of government, whether by authorization before issue of adoption afterward, which recognizes the circulating medium as a part of the official currency of that government. The narrow view that money is limited to legal tender is rejected. Under HJR 192 XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  and validated in Perry above the nation is bankrupt and to support the bankruptcy my signature as a man created the currency of the realm for the transaction making me the Creditor. The existing state of emergency is verified ~Title 12 95, 95a, 95b and 411 Should this be doubted then these two quotes ( of many more ) verify the truth since the principal part of any thing is the beginning. Maxim of Law BANKS CAN NOT LEND DEPOSITORS MONEY TO BORROWERS WITHOUT THE DEPOSITORS WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION, IN REALITY, BANKS DO NOT LEND THEIR DEPOSITORS MONEY. ~12 U.S.C . 1828. 

A national bank has no power to lend its credit to any person or corporation. ~Bowen v. Needles Nat. Bank, 94 F 925 36 CCA 553, certiorari denied in 20 S. Ct 1024, 176 US 682, 44 LED 637.

A bank is not the holder in due course upon merely crediting the depositors account. Bankers Trust v. Nagler, 229 NYS 2d 142, 143.

o That, the Federal Reserve Bank in its booklet ; MODERN MONEY MECHANICS  page 3, states ; In the United States neither paper currency nor deposits have as commodities. Intrinsically, a dollar bill is just a piece of paper, deposits merely book entries.

o That the giving a ( Federal Reserve ) note does not constitute payment. See Echart v Commissioners C.C.A., 42 Fd2d 158.

o That the use of a ( federal reserve ) 'Note ' is only a promise to pay. See Fidelity Savings v Grimes, 131 P2d 894.

o That Legal Tender ( federal reserve ) Notes are not good and lawful money of the United States. See Rains v State, 226 S.W. 189.

o That ( federal reserve ) 'Notes do not operate as payment in the absences of an agreement that they shall constitute payment. ' See Blachshear Mfg. Co. v Harrell, 2 S.E. 2d 766.

o Also, Federal Reserve Notes are valueless. See IRS Codes Section 1.1001-1 ( 4657 ) C.C.H. ) o In light of the holding of Fidelity Bank Guarantee vs. Henwood, 307 U.S. 847 ( XXXX  ), take notice of ... As of XXXX XXXX XXXX, legal tender for discharge of debt is no longer required. That is because legal tender is not in circulation at par with promises to pay credit. There can be no requirement of repayment in legal tender either, since legal tender was not loaned [ nor in circulation ] and repayment [ or payment ] need only be made in equivalent kind ; A negotiable instrument.

o U.C.C. 3-603 ; If tender of payment of an obligation to pay an instrument is made to a person entitled to enforce the instrument and the tender is refused, there is discharge, to the extent of the amount of the tender...

o ORS 81.010 Effect of unaccepted offer in writing to pay or deliver. An offer in writing to pay a particular sum of money or to deliver a written instrument or specific personal property is, if not accepted, equivalent to the actual production and tender of the money, instrument or property. ( the latter here operates via the rule of Para Materia in Tennessee. ) o That because of failure of a lawful consideration the Note and Mortgage are null and void See First National Bank of Montgomery v Jerome Daly, case # 19144 ( XXXX  ) .THEREFORE, in light of the above, under necessity, having no other means to pay debts at law, but being stopped and denied access to lawful constitutional money of exchange, the undersigned can only exercise the remedy under necessity to set off/discharge the 'debt/liability '.

Your Affiant, flesh and blood with PRE-PAID EXEMPT status as a current Creditor of the U.S. CORPORATION since its bankruptcy in XXXX  and with full understanding of how the monetary system works. Federal laws prohibits any banks from loaning against its own credit and customers deposits, so my signature creates the asset of these funds which you then monetized to your gain ten ( 10 ) times, then my signature does certainly pay this supposed liability ; THEREIN, you are required by LAW to accept this EFT instrument and credit the above account, in honor, within 24 hours upon acceptance pursuant to U.C.C. 3-501.

Any dishonor will be construed as a commercial injury, violation of agreement, fraud, fraud by scienter, violation of commercial law and otherwise. UCC codes used in verified tender of payment 1-201 general definitions governing EFT 3-311 ( d ). Receipt of an instrument is satisfaction 3-501- ( 4 ) day after day of receipt 3-603 tender of payment ( b ) refusal is discharge ( c ) able & ready to pay at every place of a payment stated Your Affiant Has Claimed, Maintain, And Have At All Times Has Retained Her Constitutionally Secured Rights Especially, But Not Limited To, All Aspects Of This Instant Matter ; Brady V. U.S., 397 U.S. , 742 At 748 . Waivers Of Constitutional Rights Must Not Only Be Done Voluntarily, They Must Be Knowingly Intelligent Acts Done With Sufficient Awareness Of The Relevant Circumstances And Consequences.

Thank you for your prompt handling of my request. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
