Californians, please call up governor Jerry Brown for him to approve the study of a state-owned bank in California (AB 750). It could cut your budget deficit in half, by allowing for the state to self-finance its own infrastructure projects at 0% interest. Loans to local banks or individuals could also be at low rates, plus it would be more stable than a private bank because all of California's money and tax receipts would be deposited in the state-owned bank to back loans. Think of it as a mini-Fed for your state, except that the shareholder essentially is the taxpayer. Every year the Fed must pay its private shareholders a 6 percent dividend, with the rest of the earnings being refunded to the U.S. Treasury. Currently North Dakota is the only state with its own state-owned bank (whose charter started back in 1918), and they consistently have budget surpluses and an extremely low rate of unemployment. The financial success of N. Dakota is not just due to oil natural resources! Rather than competing with local banks, the BND has actually worked together with local banks to create greater financial stability within the state.
Following are Governor Brown's contact details:

California Passes Bill to Study Public Bank
The California legislature has passed a bill to study public banking. If you don’t know what public banking is (North Dakota already has a public bank, which is helping to keep that state in the green) and why this issue is so important – read this and this for background.This could take away the power of the giant, insolvent banks to manipulate the money system. See this and this.
Governor Brown Is On the Fence On Vetoing Or Signing … But He’s On the Fence
Ellen Brown – whose Public Banking Institute helped pass the bill – says that California governor Jerry Brown is considering vetoing the bill. Brown suggests that Californians call Governor Brown to urge him to sign the bill (AB750) into law:[Editor's Note: Please see "California Legislature Passes Bill to Study State-owned Bank" by Ellen Brown for further details]Governor Jerry Brown

Resist the Brainwashing, Boom and Bust Cycles are NOT "Normal"
Karl Denninger of Market Ticker fame, has an excellent analysis for what is wrong/broken with debt-based interest bearing, and inflationary, monetary systems in general (such as ours and most of the other countries in the world which have the privately owned central bank model). Per Karl, if you target inflation at a level higher than 0%, you are guaranteed to get the boom/bust roller coaster. Did you realize that the US Treasury has the power to issue non-debt backed currency? The Treasury does this in small amounts but the vast majority of money requires a loan to be created in order for there to be money. For almost every dollar printed is attached an interest payment we the American taxpayer must make to some bankster somewhere! Why do we purposely pay the interest surcharge on our own money which the Constitution actually allows us to print ourselves other than to enrich the international banksters who set up this self-serving scheme? An interview of Karl Denninger by Bill Still, award winning historian and documentary filmmaker shows Karl's view on the topic:
Interview with Karl Denninger by Bill Still
The FOMC made an astonishing statement yesterday (9/21/2010) that our inflation was actually too low and therefore they were more concerned about deflation than inflation. Traders took this to be a signal that it would be full speed ahead with the printing presses and guess what direction the US dollar took in response? Down. Does the Federal Reserve really serve we the American people or some other interest/power? Since the Federal Reserve's inception in 1913 we have had nothing but huge inflation, a devaluation of our dollar by almost 95 percent (per the US inflation Calculator site) and wild boom/bust cycles, not price stability, as is one of the Fed's mandates. Once the boom cycle is over and the bubble deflates, ordinary middle classed people lose their assets which are bought up by robber barons or banksters for pennies on the dollar. This is happening right now as it has historically. Middle classed people are losing their jobs and homes to bank foreclosures and small business entrepreneurs are being forced out of business. Meanwhile the multinational mega-corporations/monopolies are engaging in an M&A boom and consolidate their assets and power. Indeed only the big multinationals with their huge cash hordes or international mega-banks can survive Obamanomics. (Yeah that makes one question too, whose side President Obama on?!)
So how can this be fixed? Following is an excellent documentary by Bill Still which goes over an entire history of our money system and ends with how we might go about fixing the beast. The content of this video is better than the dumbed-down history I got in school, which was only comprised of useless dates, names and places and which taught wrote memorization or regurgitation of establishment propaganda only.

Is it really a coincidence that North Dakota, which is the only state in the union to have a state owned bank which serves the interests of the people of that state, rather than serving private and/or shareholder interests as the Federal Reserve does (yes, the Fed was actually put in to place by a handful of powerful bankster families, who originally owned all of the private Federal Reserve shares, in order to get a monopoly on America's money supply, not for our benefit as is pretended) has a 1 billion dollar budget surplus and also has the lowest unemployment rate in the nation of 3.7% as of August 10, 2010?! [1,2,3,4,5] I think not. Note that I am not making an endorsement of public versus private ownership in all cases as obviously that is not the way to go but merely pointing out that who controls the money supply and for what purpose is the important thing.
After coming to the realization that we have been deceived and hoodwinked for a hundred years, I think it is still possible for us to save ourselves now if we can get the right people in to office to push forwards good ideas. Click here for how you can help or for more information.
