This essay was written by DAVID MERRILL under the title, “Federal Reserve Act – Remedy; Title 12”. The credit belongs to him alone.
It deals with the REMEDY available under the Common Law for the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and thereby to the federal Income Tax and the IRS.

I’m David Merrill and I’d like to speak for a moment about the Federal Reserve Act written in 1913 and the remedy found therein, and how to apply it today.
[MY NOTE: United States Notes are “lawful money” – see below Note #444] ; thus one can redeem FRNs (elastic currency in unlimited quantity) for “lawful money” in the form of U.S. Notes (USNs are inelastic currency in limited quantity)]
And because of such patriots, it’s become impossible to even get into the lobby of the Federal Reserve bank under such a demand. I think it’s important to explain clearly that due to the saving to suitors clause of the Judiciary Act of 1789, Congress can not take away remedy. Congress had to leave remedy in place.
“Although golden eagles, double eagles, and silver dollars were lovely to look at and delightful to hold, holder of $50 Federal Reserve Bank Note, although entitled to redeem his note, was not entitled to do so in precious metal. Federal Reserve Act, § 16, 12 USCA § 411; Coinage Act of 1965, § 102, 31 USCA § 392.” [Milan v. United States , 524 F.2d 629]: 9th Circuit U.S. appeals court
“It is my opinion, therefore, that the US Const., art. 1, Sec. 10 does not require the State of Michigan to pay its debts or receive payment for debts exclusively in either gold or silver coin. It is further my opinion that the State may not require payment of private debts exclusively in either gold or silver coin since Congress alone possesses and exercises that authority.” [Opinion 5934, July 15, 1981]
“In the exercise of that power Congress has declared that Federal Reserve Notes are legal tender and are redeemable in lawful money.”US v. Rickman, 638 F.2d 182:
“United States notes shall be lawful money, and a legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, within the United States, except for duties on imports and interest on the public debt.” US v. Ware, 308 F.2d 400
“Defendant argues that the Federal Reserve Notes in which he was paid were not lawful money within the meaning of the Art. 1, s. 8, United States Constitution. We have held to the contrary. US v. Ware, 308 F.2d 400, 402-403. We find no validity in the distinction which defendant draws between “lawful money” and “legal tender.” US v. Rickman, 638 F.2d 182:
You see, Gary Rickmanendorsed his paychecks, and by doing so he bonded his substance behind the fractional lending or the elastic currency, and therefore the elastic currency is as good as lawful money. It’s bonded.
“Money is a medium of exchange. Legal tender is money which law requires a creditor to receive in payment of an obligation. The aggregate powers granted to Congress by the Constitution includes broad and comprehensive authority over revenue, finance and currency. Norman v. Baltimore & Ohio Railroad , 294 US 240; 55 S.Ct. 407; 79 L.Ed. 885. In the exercise of that power Congress has declared that Federal Reserve Notes are legal tender and are redeemable in lawful money. Defendant received Federal Reserve Notes when he cashed his pay checks and used those notes to pay his personal expenses. He obtained and used lawful money.” US v. Rickman, 638 F.2d 182:
[Statistical Supplement to the Federal Reserve Bulletin, May 2008 ]SDR’s are often called “paper gold,” and here we see that the gold in the United States, United Nations, IMF trust fund is still earmarked at $42.22 per ounce.This should peak the interest of anybody who has bought and sold gold because spot today is nearly $1,000 per ounce.
In finding remedy, it’s critical to understand the distinction between discharging a debt and buying something. If you buy something you own it in allodium. That means you used lawful money to purchase it. [that is, gold, silver or U.S. Notes; NOT Federal Reserve Notes!!!!] If you discharge debt [that is, paid via Federal Reserve Notes or bank credit], there’s still an obligation that resides in that item.
“There is a distinction between a “debt discharged” and a debt “paid”. When discharged, the debt still exists though divested of it’s charter as a legal obligation during the operation of the discharge, something of the original vitality of the debt continues to exist, which may be transferred, even though the transferee takes it subject to it’s disability incident to the discharge.” [Stanek v. White, 172 Minn. 390, 215 N.W. 784]
“…providing that notes of the United States issued during a War of the Rebellion, under acts of congress declaring them to be legal tender in payment of private debts, shall be reissued and kept in circulation.” Juliard v. Greenman (Legal Tender Cases), 110 US 421
“United States notes serve no function that is not already adequately served by Federal Reserve notes. As a result, the Treasury Department stopped issuing United States notes, and none have been placed into circulation since January 21, 1971.” [Treasury Dept. Online FAQ]
The Treasury has not removed United States notes from circulation. Rather, for all intents and purposes, Federal Reserve Notes function adequately as inelastic currency, United States notes, when they are not endorsed.
“Returns or submissions that contain positions not listed above, which on their face have no basis for validity in existing law, or which have been deemed frivolous in a published opinion of the United States Tax Court or other court of competent jurisdiction, may be determined to reflect a desire to delay or impede the administration of Federal tax laws and thereby subject to the $5,000 penalty.”
Just sign check as:REDEEMED IN LAWFUL MONEY PURSUANT TO 12 USC 411
What we did is we got him a certified copy of this [certified copy of Title 12 Section 411] from the County Clerk and Recorder in Colorado Springs, and then he took it up to Denver, showed it to them and they allowed him to redeem lawful money on his account by signature card again. They allowed him to change it back.
Before the Convention of States in 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt admits that it’s voluntary to help out [by accepting Federal Reserve Notes when cashing their pay checks]. He’s pleading to the people to enter their paychecks into these new forms, private credit of the Fed, to save the Fed past the 20 year charter expiration.
“Recognize Government bonds are as safe as Government currency. They have the same credit back of them. And, therefore, if we can persuade people all through the country, when their salary checks come in, to deposit them in new accounts, which will be held in trust and kept in one of the new forms I have mentioned, we shall have made progress.” [Address Before the Governor’s Conference at the White House, March 6, 1933; The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1928-1932]
