Governors are taking action to protect their states’ citizens against Joe Biden’s plan for a cashless society in which the federal government monitors and controls every cent you make and spend. Thankfully, friends like you are being heard by members of Congress and state governors! We are seeing the first of many responses to this extreme threat to our freedom.

The governors are raising the same concerns we are raising. The time to act is NOW.

Congress is also considering taking action via two bills now pending in the House and Senate. Read on to learn why these governors and legislators are pushing back against Joe Biden’s Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Moving America to a digital monetary system is a chilling development. A CBDC will give American radicals and other globalists unlimited control of our lives. — Mat

Stop Joe Biden from taking control of YOUR finances. Demand Congress VOTE YES on HR 1122 and S 887.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has announced a bill designed to “protect Floridians from the Biden administration’s weaponization of the financial sector” through a Central Bank Digital Currency.

“What central bank digital currency is all about is surveilling Americans and controlling Americans,” said Gov. DeSantis. “You're opening up a major can of worms, and you're handing a central bank huge, huge amounts of power, and they will use that power.”

That is exactly the concern we have been raising.

A digital currency system will allow the federal government to have line-item veto over all our finances and spending. With the Biden administration pushing “equity” and “climate change,” the federal government could assign a lesser value to your money while shifting more value to another class of people.

For instance, the feds could provide incentives for buying an electric vehicle and place limits on the amount of petroleum-based fuel you can purchase per month. The opportunities for control are endless.

Now there are two bills pending in Congress to stop the federal government from weaponizing CBDC against Americans.

According to Gov. DeSantis’ official website, “A federally controlled Central Bank Digital Currency is the most recent way the Davos elites are attempting to backdoor woke ideology like Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) into the United States financial system, threatening individual privacy and economic freedom.”

He’s absolutely right. When he mentions “Davos,” he is referring in part to the globalists of the World Economic Forum (WEF), who are pushing centralized world socialism.

CBDCs are different from other cryptocurrencies or cash — because CBDCs make the federal government your bank. As such, Washington bureaucrats will be able to monitor and control every cent you make.

“Unlike a decentralized digital currency, a CBDC is directly controlled and issued by the government to consumers,” says the Florida governor’s website, “giving government bureaucrats the ability to see all consumer activity and the power to cut off access to goods and services for consumers.”

“Our money says In God We Trust. The central bank digital currency changes that to In Government We Trust. That’s wrong,” says Tarren Bragdon, CEO of the Foundation for Government Accountability. “I am grateful for the Governor’s continued pushback of an out-of-control DC bureaucracy.”

Keep the government’s nose out of YOUR financial accounts!

If the Florida legislature passes DeSantis’ bill, Florida will become the first state in the nation to ban the use of ANY CBDC currency for personal or business use.

That is unless South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem beats him to the punch ...

Gov. Noem recently vetoed a bill seeking to change the definition of money to sneak CDBC adoption into a South Dakota banking bill.

Gov. Noem said, “Essentially what it did was pave the way for a government-led CBDC, and it also banned any other form of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC) or digital currency that existed. So for me, it very clearly was a threat to our freedom…”

In a statement to the press, Gov. Noem said she believes that CBDCs “pave a way for the federal government to control our currency, and thus control people.”

Liberty Counsel has been fighting for liberty in the halls of Congress, in courtrooms across America, and before the U.S. Supreme Court, where we have achieved multiple precedent-setting victories.

WE WILL NOT STOP FIGHTING TYRANNY LIKE THIS CBDC SCHEME UNTIL AMERICA’S PRECIOUS LIBERTY IS FULLY SECURE!
