MEMO

TO:       Friends, Neighbors, Colleagues
          and all interested parties

FROM:     Mitch Modeleski, Founder

DATE:     September 10, 1991

SUBJECT:  Enclosed Letter to 50 State Governors

     Enclosed please find a copy of our letter and attachments to
the 50 Governors of the sovereign States of the Union.

     With this letter, we place these 50 Governors on notice that
a great  fraud and deception have been fastened upon the American
people.

     This fraud  and deception are the result of a private credit
monopoly (the  Federal  Reserve  System)  and  a  repressive  and
confiscatory taxing syndicate (the Internal Revenue Service) that
have been imposed upon us without our consent.

     We  petition   the  Governors   to  understand   that  heavy
government borrowing and excessive taxation go hand-in-hand, that
a foreign  jurisdiction has  obtained control of money and credit
in America,  and  that  the  situation  is  now  so  serious,  it
threatens  systematically   to  corrupt   and  destroy  the  very
foundations of our modern civilization.

     Help us  to assist the Governors to understand that Congress
has seized vast powers from the States for the federal government
by means  of gross  deficit spending, heavy government borrowing,
and unlawful  delegation of  monetary powers to a private banking
cartel.

     Help us  to abolish  the specter of modern slavery which now
threatens to destroy the essential rights and freedoms which made
this a great nation and the envy of others around the world.

     Please  join  us  in  demanding  the  50  Governors  to  act
decisively in  accordance with  their solemn  oath of office:  to
uphold and  defend the Constitution of the United States from all
enemies, both foreign and domestic.

     Help us to restore a government which has drifted so far off
course, it  hardly resembles  the constitutional  republic it was
designed to be.

Office of the Governor
State Capitol
City, State Zip

Dear Governor           :

     We are  writing in order to notify you formally that a great
fraud and  deception have  been fastened  upon the people of your
State.   In so  doing, we  place you  on notice of this fraud and
deception, and  request that  you exercise  your solemn  oath  of
office to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States
and the rights of the people.

     Our forefathers  waged the  War  of  Independence,  suffered
enormous sacrifices,  and even  gave their  lives  to  sever  our
nation from  an unlawful jurisdiction imposed on them by the King
of England.   This  jurisdiction is  known as Admiralty Law.  Its
primary beneficiary  is the  Federal Reserve  System,  a  private
credit monopoly  once described  by Congressman Louis T. McFadden
as "one  of the  most corrupt  institutions the  world  has  ever
known".   Congressman McFadden  was Chairman of the House Banking
and Currency Committee from 1927 to 1933.

     By utter  deceit and  a failure  to abide by the mandates of
the U.S.  Constitution, our  lawmakers  have  imposed  this  same
unlawful jurisdiction  back upon  the  people.    This  was  done
through  the   chicanery  and   great  pressure  applied  by  the
international banking  community, whose  aim has  always been  to
control the  issuance of  money and credit.  Foremost among these
bankers was Mayer Amschel Rothschild who stated,


     "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I
     care not who makes the laws."


     We are  now in  an undeclared economic war, and the enemy is
winning!

     If the people of this nation had not been raped by the great
banking cartels, we would have no poor or homeless in our nation;
to quote  an editorial  in the  London Times in 1865, we would by
now have become:


     "... prosperous  beyond precedent  in  the  history  of  the
     civilized governments of the world."

                                                       Appendix I


     This same editorial went on to predict that our nation would
pay off  its debts  and be without a debt.  It would have all the
money necessary  to carry on its commerce.  The brains and wealth
of all  countries would  go to North America.  For these reasons,
the London  Times urged  that our  government be destroyed, or it
would destroy every monarchy on the globe!

     American history  reveals that Benjamin Franklin traveled to
England as  a  representative  of  the  Colonies.    The  British
officials there  asked how it was the Colonies managed to collect
enough taxes  to build  poor houses,  and how  they handled  this
terrible burden  of caring  for the  poor.   Franklin's reply was
simple and direct:

     "We have  no poor  houses in the Colonies, and if we had, we
     would have  no one  to put in them, as in the Colonies there
     is not a single unemployed man, no poor and no vagabonds."


He went on to explain the underlying reason for this:

     "It is because in the Colonies we issue our own paper money.
     We call it Colonial Script, and we issue only enough to move
     all goods  freely from  the producers to the Consumers;  and
     as we  create our  money, we control the purchasing power of
     money, and have no interest to pay."


     As Franklin  knew so  well, this  system  guarantees  honest
money.   There would  be no  need for  inflation or deflation, as
long as  the money supply was kept equal to the value of goods to
be moved.

     Contrast this  condition to  that of England:  all her money
was borrowed  from banks, and repressive taxes were laid upon the
people.   Banks usurped  the government's  right  to  create  and
regulate money.  Banks created money or credit "out of thin air",
by mere  bookkeeping entries, with no labor or wealth involved or
exchanged.

     Today, we  suffer from  the same  debt money  system here in
America.     As  a   result,  the   nation's  wealth   is   being
systematically transferred  from  a  nation  of  producers  to  a
syndicate of lenders, who have done nothing in any way to earn it
or warrant it.

     Why should  the people  pay  tribute  to  a  private  credit
monopoly for  the benefit  of using  their own money?  The people
retain an  unalienable  right  to  create  their  own  medium  of
exchange, through  their elected  representatives in the Congress
of the United States, as mandated by the Constitution.  When this
right was  challenged by  the British, the Colonists went to war.
Benjamin Franklin  identified this as the real reason for the War
of Independence:


                        Page I - 5 of 14

                                                The Federal Zone:


     "The Colonies  would gladly have borne the little tax on tea
     and other  matters, had  it not  been that England took away
     from the  Colonies their  money, which  created unemployment
     and dissatisfaction."


     We believe  that President  Abraham Lincoln was assassinated
for his creation of "United States Notes", and for his refusal to
borrow debt money from banks.  Lincoln was quoted to say:

     "The people  can and  will be  furnished with  a currency as
     safe as their own Government.  Money will cease to be master
     and become  the servant  of humanity.   Democracy  will rise
     superior to the money power."

Governor, with  your help,  and with  the grace  of God, this can
still happen.

     Governor, we  expect you  to understand  that debt money and
excessive taxes  go hand-in-hand.    Today,  Americans  pay  over
10,000  PERCENT  more  in  taxes  than  did  Colonial  Americans.
Federal income  taxes are  confiscated under  duress, even though
they are  voluntary under  law, and  apply  only  to  persons  in
federal enclaves or possessions.

     The framers made it plain that "No money shall be drawn from
the Treasury  but in  consequence of  appropriations made by Law"
(Article I,  Section 9, Clause 7).  Nevertheless, a philosophy of
"tax, tax;   spend,  spend;  elect, elect" began in the Roosevelt
era when  the U.S. Supreme Court relaxed traditional restrictions
on the Federal Government in the Butler case (297 US 1, 1936).

     In this  case, the  Court interpreted  the "general welfare"
clause as  a general  grant of power to Congress to tax and spend
for anything it felt was in the interest of the nation's welfare.
This ruling  opened the  U.S. Treasury  to unlimited  looting  by
politicians who  saw this  as a  golden opportunity  to  increase
taxes and  buy votes  with federally  funded  projects  in  their
respective States.   A  massive share of this funding is now done
through heavy government borrowing!

     Governor, if  this situation  is not changed, the destiny of
our nation is literally in the hands of international bankers and
their  cohorts.     As  German  statesman  and  soldier  Bismarck
predicted:

     "The death of Lincoln was a disaster for Christendom ....  I
     fear that foreign bankers with their craftiness and tortuous
     tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America
     and use  them systematically to corrupt modern civilization.
     They will  not hesitate  to plunge  the whole of Christendom
     into wars  and chaos  in order  that the  earth shall become
     their inheritance."

     For our own sake, and for the sake of our posterity, we pray
that you  will be earnest in your endeavor to help set our nation
aright.  Honor your oath of office, so that your constituents and
our Creator  may properly  show you respect, and that you too may
proclaim, with Benjamin Franklin:


     "I can appear cheerfully before God fearing nothing from His
     justice in this particular."


     Governor, join  us to  help restore  the laws  and liberties
that our  founding fathers fought so hard to win and leave to us,
their posterity.

     Please take  the time  necessary  to  study  personally  the
material enclosed  with this  letter.  It summarizes the fraud we
now suffer,  from a  private credit  monopoly and  a confiscatory
taxing syndicate imposed upon us without our consent.

     Then, honor  us by acting decisively in accordance with your
solemn oath  of office:  to uphold and defend the Constitution of
the United States from all enemies, both foreign and domestic, so
help you God.


Yours for liberty and justice,

                  Why, Pilgrim, Don't You Act?



an excerpt from the book Tax Scam, by Alan Stang:


"As you  know, the  Constitution reserves the power over money to
the Congress, which power Congress is forbidden to delegate.  How
would you respond, were Congress illegally to give its power to a
private corporation,  like Ford or Xerox, or Occidental Petroleum
or IBM,  or a new corporation organized for the purpose?  Suppose
Congress confiscated  your gold  and  gave  it  to  that  private
corporation.   Suppose that  private corporation  issued currency
the government  forced you  to use, and on which it forced you to
pay interest.   Suppose  that private corporation extended credit
('cheap money')  and then  called the  loans;   did so time after
time, creating endless boom and bust;  thereby farming the farmer
and bringing  the people  to their  knees  --  protesting all the
while in  a blizzard  of propaganda  that it  was fighting  these
things.

"How would  you respond?  Do we exaggerate when we speculate that
you would  call it  the biggest  scandal of all time?  Are we far
afield when  we guess that you would demand a special prosecutor,
complete with hearings, to expose the conspiracy;  seizure of the
corporation's assets  and abolition  of the  corporation;    long
prison terms  for the  perpetrators, in  government and out;  and
restoration to  Congress of  the money power, in obedience to the
Constitution?

"Pilgrim, if  that is  close to what you would demand, may we ask
respectfully why  you have  not demanded  it   --    because  the
private corporation  we have  been talking  about is  the Federal
Reserve System.

                 Promises Made, Promises Broken


In promoting  passage of  the Federal  Reserve Act  of 1913,  its
sponsors, and those working to see it passed, made ten promises:

 1.  To operate  entirely under  the direction and control of the
     President and his appointees to the Board of Governors.

 2.  To pay  interest to  the government  for  the  privilege  of
     printing Federal Reserve Notes as the nation's currency.

 3.  To perform  many banking services for the government free of
     charge.

 4.  To manage  the nation's  money supply so as to stabilize the
     dollar which, in turn, would stabilize prices.

 5.  To remove the United States from the control of Wall Street.

 6.  To prevent depressions and eliminate "boom and bust" cycles.

 7.  To be  a friend  and helper  to farmers  and to the monetary
     needs of small businesses.

 8.  To create  a system that would remain forever decentralized,
     so each Federal Reserve Bank would have as much influence in
     monetary policies as the one in New York City.

 9.  To  protect  American  interests  against  foreign  monetary
     assaults.

10.  To supervise  and inspect local banks and provide funds when
     they were pressed by unexpected demands.


Contrary to promises, the effects of the Federal Reserve Act have
been disastrous:


1.   Judged by  the promises  at the  time the  act  was  passed,
     including a stable currency and elimination of boom and bust
     cycles, the Fed must be rated, at best, a colossal failure.

2.   The Federal  Reserve action of curtailing the nation's money
     supply by a third in 1929 converted a serious recession into
     a  disastrous   depression,  destroying   one-third  of  the
     nation's banks in the process.

3.   Judged on  the basis  of the  U.S. Constitution  and by  the
     intent  of   its  framers,   the  Federal  Reserve  Act  and
     amendments are clearly unconstitutional.

                                                       Appendix I


4.   The present  system, requiring  people and businesses to pay
     interest to  the banks  on every  Federal Reserve  dollar in
     circulation, is a devastating and needless burden, adding to
     bankruptcies in a recession and severely hampering recovery.
     An  Honest  Money  System,  based  on  debt-free  money,  is
     essential to  the economic  well-being  of  the  people  all
     across the U.S.

5.   An unstable national money supply is a debilitating handicap
     at best  and, at worst, not only causes but worsens "boom or
     bust" business  cycles so  destructive of  the people's best
     interests.

6.   The people  of America  now suffer  from needless recessions
     brought on  by  the  cumulative  effects  of  inflation  and
     interest-bearing debt  financing encouraged  by the  Federal
     Reserve System.

                        How It All Began



an excerpt from the book A Writ for Martyrs, by Eustace Mullins:


"The income tax amendment and the Federal Reserve Act were passed
in the  same year,  1913, because  they function  as an essential
team, and  were planned  to do so.  The Federal Reserve districts
and the  Internal Revenue  Districts are "new states," which have
been established  within the jurisdictions of legal states of the
Union.   But why  were they  so established, and why are they co-
functional?   The  Internal  Revenue  Service  has  the  duty  of
collecting large amounts of taxes from employed Americans, solely
as  an  agent  of  the  Federal  Reserve  System.    It  was  not
accidental, nor  was it  coincidental, that  these acts coincided
with the  preparations of  World War I.  The necessity for income
tax "collections"  did not  become obvious  for some  years.  The
U.S. Congress had awarded the Federal Reserve System the power to
issue money, despite the fact that the Federal Reserve bank stock
was entirely  owned by private stockholders.  The Federal Reserve
System then  began to issue large amounts of profitable interest-
bearing "U.S.  dollars,"  without  control  from  any  government
agency.   It became apparent that the Federal Reserve System must
set up  its own  system of  controls, which  it did  through  the
Internal Revenue  Service.   Here again,  the "Service" was not a
service to  the U.S.  Government, nor  a service  to the American
people.  It was a service to the Federal Reserve System.  The IRS
performed the necessary task of "sopping up" the enormous amounts
of money  issued by  the  private  stockholders  of  the  Federal
Reserve System to finance their systematic acquisition of all the
property of the people of the United States.


"If these  billions of  paper instruments  remained in continuous
circulation, they  would  become  mere  assignats,  not  worth  a
Continental.   The money  is controlled  by confiscatory taxation
through the  agency of  the Internal Revenue Service.  The system
was laid  down by  David  Ricardo,  son  of  Abraham  Israel,  an
Amsterdam stock  manipulator who  moved to  England  and  made  a
fortune  with  the  Rothschilds  in  the  Waterloo  speculations.
Ricardo developed the technique of controlling the people through
taxation.   His direct  descendant, Rita  Ricardo  Campbell,  now
advises President Reagan on Social Security.


"As the  largely worthless  paper assignats  are forcibly removed
from circulation  by  the  zealous  activities  of  the  Internal
Revenue Service,  the Federal  Reserve System can then issue more
billions of  paper currency  to the public.  The constant flow of
"new money"  deceives the  public into  thinking these  assignats
have real value.

                                                       Appendix I


"The IRS  also fulfills  Ricardo's dictum  that the  worker  must
never be  allowed to  enjoy more  than a  bare subsistence  wage.
Income tax,  withholding tax, Social Security tax and other taxes
fulfill Ricardo's dictum.  With no money beyond bare subsistence,
the workers  are effectively prevented from engaging in political
activity.   In effect, the IRS functions as the slave overseer of
the great American plantation, plying the lash freely in order to
keep the  workers bent  to their  tasks.   However,  neither  the
function of sopping up paper money for the Federal Reserve System
nor the controlling of the workers by robbing them of their wages
is a proper function of the United States Government."
