We Are Within Striking Distance To Stop This

Aug 12, 2025

This is our best shot to stop the CBDC 

We are one step closer to STOPPING the ultimate form of government control — Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). The U.S. House passed HR 1919, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act.

Now the companion bill, S 1124, is teed up in the Senate. If we can’t get 60 votes, this bill can be attached to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which only needs a majority vote.

President Trump’s executive order can easily be reversed. We need to codify it to protect our freedom.

We need YOUR HELP to end the ultimate form of control. Under a CBDC, we won’t be able to buy or sell without government approval. We must pass the “Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act” (S 1124). Tell Congress to protect Americans from a Central Bank Digital Currency.

Some in the Federal Reserve (the Fed) have been working for years to develop a replacement for paper and coin currency. This would eliminate cash and put every transaction under the control of the Feds.

The Communist Chinese Party launched a CBDC with an offline “Smart ID” card. This enables non-internet-connected payments up to a certain limit and gives the CCP total control over both online and in-person payments!

Under Joe Biden, the Feds began implementing a CBDC to replace private banking. Once the government becomes your bank, it will control every purchase, and it can approve or deny ANY transaction. Protect YOUR financial privacy! Tell Congress to VOTE YES on S 1124!

A CBDC gives governments the ability to erase the bank accounts of their political enemies, and control where people are allowed to shop and what they are allowed to buy.

A CBDC can even put an “expiration date” on funds, forcing people to spend money or the government simply takes it away. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has already issued its CBDC, called the digital yuan, and uses it as part of its social credit score that regulates people at home and around the world.

Furthermore, when the government is your direct bank, it can withhold home loans, auto financing, and other fiscal instruments, not because of your credit, but because of your political inclinations or your poor social score for not supporting green initiatives and progressive ideals. If you want to buy a gas vehicle rather than an EV, you could be blocked. If you want to buy a handgun, your transaction could be halted.

CBDC allows the government to individually monitor and control your purchases — and even your contributions.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has filed S 1124 to stop this federal power grab. Support S 1124 with your faxes today!

No government control of our finances!

Sen. Cruz said, “The federal government has no authority to unilaterally establish a central bank currency. This bill goes a long way in making sure big government doesn’t attempt to centralize or control cryptocurrency.”

“As the Federal Reserve continues its study of central bank digital currencies, one thing has become clear — CBDCs pose a clear threat to Americans’ financial independence,” said Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL). “Rather than following the lead of oppressive regimes like China and Russia, we should dramatically decrease the federal government’s involvement in personal finances and look to the free market to guide the way regarding innovation.”

Rep. Warren Davidson said, “A retail CBDC would essentially allow the government to mediate all transactions, which would mirror what we see in China. It’s vital to ensure this does not happen here.”

During the COVID shutdowns, we bore witness to how people in some states were held hostage by government agencies that sought to dictate where and how we could eat, shop, and worship.

Remember when Los Angeles threatened to cut the power and water of a certain church? Under a CBDC, the government could simply freeze or erase the church’s bank accounts.

Protect financial privacy! Tell Congress to VOTE YES on S 1124!

Remember when New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg tried to ban “Big Gulps,” sugary drinks, and large popcorn buckets? Under a CBDC, a person would simply not be allowed to spend money on such purchases.

The tracking is just as bad as the control. Currently, if the government wants to monitor your spending, a warrant is generally necessary.

But if the government IS your bank, your accounts are easily accessible.

Remember how Joe Biden wanted banks to report any transaction over 600 dollars to the federal government.

The vaccine apps meant to trace, track, and control us didn’t fly with the American people. So, a CBDC ups the ante — by controlling every penny of our finances and, therefore, our lives. This is a serious threat to freedom.

Join me now in demanding Congress VOTE YES on S 1124!
