This group of Ron Paul supporters has more economic sense than anyone in Washington (except Ron Paul, of course). They have gotten together to craft sound money legislation in Maryland. Here's the text:

For the purpose of urging the Unites States Congress to restore honest money backed by silver and gold in accordance with the requirements of the United States Constitution, phase out Federal Reserve notes, and return to the free market banking practices that the Founding Fathers codified in the United States Constitution.

WHEREAS, There is a nationwide economic crisis that needs a speedy resolution; and

WHEREAS, Future recurrences of a similar crisis should be prevented; and

WHEREAS, Federal Reserve notes are unconstitutional, inflationary and at the heart of the present economic distress; and

WHEREAS, Free market banking practices are in the best interests of the citizens of the United States; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF MARYLAND, That the United States Congress is urged to:
