    About this ebook

    Postcards sent to Congress and other leaders advocating a money supply based on citizenship rather than debt. It includes a series of SOS postcards to save our ship by decelerating production, calibrating money in hours of work, elevating citizenship by making ownership of the money supply a right of citizenship, and setting a maximum wage of no more than four times the minimum wage.. It advances the idea that good government empowers citizens to govern themselves. The government that governs well will govern less.

      My last postcard in the first volume of Postcard Revolution featured Robert Morris (1734-1806), Financier of the Revolution. I sent it out September 24, 2013. I have since learned a great deal more about Robert Morris, Gouverneur Morris (1752-1816) and the Bank of North America. I begin this second volume with the conclusion of the first volume.

      Conclusion from Volume 1

      The two corrections in the money system design that I am proposing are that new money be denominated in Hours of Work and be issued by the U.S. Treasury as citizen shares. I recommend the initial infusion to be $100 per month for 12 months to every registered voter in the country. We can observe its effects and decide what needs to be done from there.

      Citizen Shares

      October 16, 2013, here is the postcard I sent to leaders, I am not sure which ones, proposing a money supply based on citizenship rather than debt.

      The next postcard is dated the same, October 16, 2013. Again, I have forgotten to whom I sent it as I am writing this September 6, 2014.

      The quote tells us that people knew in 1790 that the funding system, namely, paying
