6th Annual AMI Monetary Reform Conference

Dear Friends of the American Monetary Institute,

Announcing the 6th Annual AMI Monetary Reform Conference, Sept. 30 - Oct. 3rd at Roosevelt University in Chicago.

The Institute was founded in 1996 and has since then provided materials on our website aimed at educating the public and our legislators on the nation's monetary problem (a privatized monetary system run amok) and how to repair and reform it. Since 2003 our research results were published and available in The Lost Science of Money book by myself, Stephen Zarlenga. From 2005 the Institute has held an annual Monetary Reform Conference in Chicago and publicized its American Monetary Act, as the comprehensive solution to the developing monetary/banking crisis. All these are viewable at http://www.monetary.org.

So our 6th Annual AMI Monetary Reform Conference will take place at a time of continuing crisis and great risk of further rapid international deterioration! It also represents a rare opportunity to achieve real monetary reform. As always, a great lineup of speakers is taking shape now, including some surprises. See our website for the Conference announcement at http://www.monetary.org/2009conference.html

Until now, no real reforms have been introduced by our legislators. Both Senator Dodd and Congressman Frank are closing the barn door after the horses (or should I say the pigs) have all run out! Neither truly address the real issue of monetary reform. The essence of monetary reform is to remove the monetary power from those who have repeatedly abused it with disastrous effect - to remove the MONEY POWER from the private banking establishment. See the American Monetary Act at http://www.monetary.org/amacolorpamphlet.pdf. The rest, the positive elements will follow from that. Anything less will not be real reform, and would only waste this opportune moment.

The 2010 Conference will focus on that opportunity, and what participants can do to make a difference. The normal registration fee of $395, is reduced to $225 for early registrations postmarked by April 30th. (Please see the registration form at http://www.monetary.org/2010conference.html)

The Venue is again at Roosevelt University in downtown Chicago, from Sept. 24-27th. Chicago has become a political focus of our nation. It also has a rich tradition in monetary reform. Known especially (by those in the know) for the proposed monetary reform law called The Chicago Plan, which came out of brilliant people at the University of Chicago in the 1930s; before the University's Economics Department went over to the Dark Side with their present market worship nonsense.

Please try to participate this year. Its a key time to act for real reform. If you can't attend you can still participate by making a donation at http://www.monetary.org, that we will use for attendance scholarships to students. And remember, your donation supports all the activities of the American Monetary Institute. It makes a very big difference to our work and the results we can achieve. We really can continue making progress with your help. (see the excitement that Congressman Dennis Kucinich created on the Floor of the House of Representatives at http://new.monetary.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=112&Itemid=93
We are expecting that Dennis will be among the speakers at this conference, and will have introduced the legislation he describes in the video before then.
Warm regards to all,
Please support the AMI, We are working for you! And we need your help.
