As everyone should know, lawful money was removed from our economy by congress in 1933 by HJR 192 ( House Joint Resolution ) and replaced with negotiable instruments. These negotiable instruments are considered as legal tender on the same par and category as Federal Reserve notes. They represent a mortgage on all the homes and personal property of all the American people. This mortgage was placed without proper legal authorization by congress and the Supreme Court required that a remedy had to be given to the American people who were principals and sureties for the national debt. This remedy is to discharge debt for the people who demanded it. We the People were made private bankers according to the law with the authority to issue notes to discharge lawful debts. This must remain in effect until lawful money and the property is returned to, We the People without any encumbrances. 

HJR 192 : Now, there-fore 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 in money of the United States measured thereby, is declared to be against public policy ; and no such provision shall be contained in or made with respect to any obligation hereafter incurred. Every obligation, heretofore or hereafter incurred, whether or not any such provision is contained therein or made with respect thereto, shall be discharged upon payment, dollar for dollar, in any coin or currency which at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. 


LEGAL TENDER DEFINED 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 or 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. 

In light of the holding of Guaranty Trust Company vs. Henwood, 307 U.S. 247 ( 1939 ), a Federal US court of appeals ruled on Title 31 USC 5118. As of October 27, 1977, 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. Requirement of repayment of debt is against Public Policy, since legal tender was not loaned [ nor in circulation ] they can not demand payment in any [ particular ] form of coin or currency or legal tender and repayment [ or payment ] need only be made in equivalent kind ; A negotiable instrument.

HJR-192, Public Law 73-10 and Title 31 USC 5118 prohibits Banks/creditors from demanding any specific specie of payment. All Banks must process lawful United States currency. Failure to do so is interference with commerce, a felony under the RICO ACT, 18 USC 1951. If you believe you have a lawful reason to Dishonor this negotiable instrument you must return it to the Agent above with lawful reason ( s ) fully stated and cited, sworn under your unlimited liability. Failure to provide lawful reason ( s ), or to misdirect this instrument, is grounds for a complaint to the FTC under the FDCPA ( Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ), 15 USC 1692a1. It is your duty to honor this instrument for payment, to know, abide by and operate under the law. 18 USC 8 applies. Commercial instruments are legal tender for the payment of debt in accordance with 31 USC 5118 and other statutes/code. Failure to process and credit the intended account will result in a request of the Postal Inspectors office [ to investigate and audit the accounts balance sheet? Optional ] and file IRS Form 3949A Information referral to the CID ( Criminal Investigation Division ) of the IRS. 

The XXXX ( Uniform Commercial Code ) defines a negotiable instrument as an unconditioned writing that promises or orders the payment of a fixed amount of money. To be considered negotiable an instrument must meet the requirements stated in Article 3. U.C.C. - ARTICLE 3 - NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS 3-104. NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENT. ( a ) '' negotiable instrument '' means an unconditional promise or order to pay a fixed amount of money ( b ) " Instrument '' means a negotiable instrument.

FRN 's VALUELESS 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. The giving a ( federal reserve ) note does not constitute payment. See Echart v Commissioners C.C.A., 42 Fd2d 158. The use of a ( federal reserve ) 'Note ' is only a promise to pay. See Fidelity Savings v Grimes, 131 P2d 894.

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. Federal Reserve Notes are valueless. See IRS Codes Section 1.1001-1 ( 4657 ) C.C.H. ).

Failure to accept this Note for deposit and discharge of this debt is lawfully considered theft, fraud, conspiracy, collusion, racketeering, and denial of due process.
