Where would United States be today, if these people were still alive?

Thomas Jefferson:
"if the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations which grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

Abraham Lincoln:
"The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy."

Thomas Jefferson:
"I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."

James Madison:
"History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance."

Rep.Charles A.Lindberg:
"The finiancial system has been turned over to the Federal Reserve Board. That board administers the finance system by authority of a purely profiteering group.The system is private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people's money."

Sen.Barry Goldwater:
"Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international moneylenders. The accounts of the Federal Reserve Board have never been audited. It operates outside the control of Congress and manipulates the credit of the United States."
