Arizona passes law making gold and silver legal tender

YOu people, most of you, are totally out to lunch.

It is not at all against the law to Tender to pay in gold or silver, or wheat or paper..

So many of you have no understanding at all, not even these Airzona legislatures bothered to even check the current laws.

Legal Tender means you cannot be arrested for using it to offer to pay a debt. It don't not mean the seller has to accept your form of payment.

Cocaine coins are Not Legal Tender. Neither are Herion Coins.

The citizens of Az now have a 'safety net' They wont be stuck with a bunch of worthless paper notes.

How clear does Section 10 have to be. No State shall coin Money. There is no exclusion clause anywhere in the entire Constitution (of course teh Amendments are included in the Constitution).

States are PROHIBITED by the U.S. Constitution to coin Money, hence the 10th does not grant or even prescribe that the State be allowed to coin Money.

On the other hand, Section 10 does not Prohibit, the People from coining Money, does it? No, it does not prohibit the People from coining Money.

Yet, the Peoples coinage is not to be as if a countefeit of the COngressiaonlly mandated coin. This was the issue about the so called Liberty Dollar... it was just too close and was deemed could be deceptive... as if presenting what it was not.. a U.S. Mint coin.

According to the U.S. Treasaury and the U.S. Mint, gold and silver are already Legal Tender...
Period.

These State Legislators are ignorant of the Law.

Too bad the people are not nor ever have been US Citzens, kinda blows your whole post.

US Citizens are a subclass to the "people" and have been since the 14th amendment.

THANK YOU WHOEVER posted the "Blithering Idiot" quote below! You are so right. If gold or silver become legal tender then conceivably you could walk into the grocery store, gas station, or even government offices and banks and proffer your silver or gold coins, jewelry, etc., and these financial entities would by law have to accept your gold / silver as legal tender just as if you'd paid with cash or credit card!

There is OPPORTUNITY HERE!! Watch for "mobile exchange" shops to be set up. You give them your tea service that is worth $5000 in it's silver content, they give you a debit card worth $5000. (or a little less) and profit and pocket the difference. "Sterling" pure silver for decorative objects, flatware, tea services, etc., is .925 PURE silver and 7.25 percent alloys to make it harder and easier to work with. So if your tea service weighs in at 100 ounces, you would get paid for 92.5 ounces for the silver value. You can expect a discount over/above the one for silver value if the object is not rare or very ornate or very old. (In that case it may well be worth far more than the silver value. Don't sell the family silver without having it valued by a pro. At least know what you really are selling and what it is worth - just silver value or gold value or something FAR BEYOND?

I really don't know why the phrase "Legal tender" makes me giggle so much but jeeze the title name cracked me up

Exactly, its a real mind game.

We The People created the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Government, but We the People are the Mighty Ones and our servant the Government is also made up mainly by our fellow We The People.

Then We the People created ourselves to become U.S. Citizens.. and yet at the time we were also State Citizens, as the "We the People" of a State were also the Mighty Ones of that State. And under that hat, those "We the People" of the State of... then created themselves teh Title of State Citizens...

So at that people We The People had Created and made ourselves a second Title of Citizenship, one Federal and the other State Citizens.

Then along came time, and the 14th Amendment We The People of the United States (all the States of the time) decided it would be a good idea to just create ourselves as United State's Citizens, and only residents (aka Subjects) of any State we might happen to be dwelling in or evne traveling over.

So, we went from predominationly Soverigns as We The People of the State to Title ourselves, State Citizens and not State Subjects.

ANd then with the 14th we created for ourselves the Title United States Citizens and at the same time crated ourselves SUBJECTS of the State we lived in..

Marvelous, eh?

And The States are under teh obigation to Pay their debts only with gold or silver coin... so then the State leans on its SUBJECTS of the State of ____ to cough up their gold and silver coins and/or hard stuff, goods, to sell for other nation's or another States's gold and silver in exchange.

ITs are real piece of Spagettii Code..

And on linguistics ground an extreme example of Neural Linguistics Programming and mind-control.

It means being Legal to offer to Touch another having been given their premission... strangley it is similar to the concepts of the Nudity Laws under the Law of Moses.. who can make another nude...

No, this is not the Legal meaning of that term, Legal Tender.

Legal Tender means that it is not Legal for me to offer to pay you in 'this' substance.

If I Tender Cocaine to you in payment of a debt I have owed you, then under current law my Tender is Illegal... because the possession of Cocaine is outlawed. ALthough you the seller could accept it, you too then would be a criminal for accepting it. Hence in that case both the buyer and the seller will have commited a crime or crimes, one of which is an Illegal Tender.

Since at the moment possessioin gold is not illegal and neither is buying or selling gold illegal, it is not illegal to tender Gold or Silver in payment for a debt.

In fact if I offer Illegal Tender to you for payment of a purchase or debt you have every legal right to charge me at court with a crime and warrant for my arrest.

People understood this stuff very well before the Great Gold Tax of 1933.. not so much any more, in fact now the masses have it bass-awkward.

I didn't put that worth a crap.. but maybe you can see through the smoke.

Arizona Becomes Second State to Approve Gold and Silver as Legal Tender

[link to finance.yahoo.com]

“People are still buying gold and using it as a commodity and I think they want to use it as actual legal tender instead of the dollar."

The last time someone tried doing that own their own the Fed busted them.

I'm proud of Arizona. You would have thought Texas would be leading the movement against The Fed. LOL
