A note from

OCPAC FOUNDATION PRESIDENT

BOB LINN

ON A COLORADO VACATION

Jane and I are flying back to Oklahoma today after a thoroughly exhausting week and a half vacation in Colorado Springs with our fabulous four Rocky Mountain grandchildren. We re-scheduled quite a few things, from appointments upon which the future of the West seemed to depend, to things not so important, making possible an enjoyable Hawaii vacation for our son and his wife.

The grandchildren convened frequent legislative sessions to determine whether traditional household rules were to be interpreted by the doctrines of original intent or if parental oracles were subject to the current transitions in prevailing family culture and should be treated in the context of the judicial philosophy of “living documents.”

The complicated debates between my 7-year old and my 13-year old, in particular, schooled me in the concept of the ubiquity of political nuance in all things of vital importance to the domestic tranquility of the American cultural landscape and I again understood that life's most difficult societal problem sets are addressed most effectively from the Christian foundations that only the most rigorous of Biblical theological thought provides.

On the flight home, I will be considering the possibility that the foundation of domestic tranquility may resemble a set of ideas that would transform international relationships as well

TEXAS TRANSITIONAL CURRENCY

In 2015, Texas, who alone represents the 9th largest economy in the world, moved over $1 billion in Texas gold reserves from the Federal Reserve in New York to the Texas Gold Depository in Leander, Texas.

The more than 80% decline in the value of the dollar over the past forty years is one reason Texas legislators are considering offering U.S. Citizens (Oklahoma included) Digital Gold Currency.

This would enable anyone, inside or outside of Texas, to buy gold bullion and have it placed in the Texas Bullion Depository. The bullion would be exchanged for dollars when the depositor chose to spend it with a credit card for groceries, gas, and all the other ways we use our debit cards.

The dollar has also been under assault internationally by the BRICS collective (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), who have announced their intent to create a new currency to replace the dollar.

As a result, the dollar's share of foreign-exchange reserves has been in decline over the past 20 years and fell to 59% in quarter four last year. This month, it was just above 40%.

The Texas legislation represents

an opportunity to help save

the cash assets of both

Oklahoma and the Nation.

IF INTERESTED, you may ask Texas

lawmakers to pass this legislation

The Texas Transactional Currency bill the Texas Senate will vote on is SB 2334. The Texas House will vote on HB4903. They are twin bills that would allow Texas to create Texas Transactional Currency to provide Texas Digital Gold Currency to the general public throughout the nation.

If this is something you think would provide a financial safety net for the American citizen, click this link to activate a pre-written email to the entire Texas Legislature. It will be considering a yes vote on what represents an opportunity for Texas to help save the cash assets of the American depositor.

In the past two weeks, this legislation went from back burner to the leading issue in the Texas legislature when, with the help of men like Ben Carson and other national figures, more than two million people clicked the link below to urge Texas legislators to pass the bill.

Oklahoma State Treasurer,

Todd Russ
