What’s Wrong in Washington? What’s your Answer?

What’s Wrong in Washington? What’s Your Answer? by Wickliffe B. Vennard, Sr. presents a collection of letters, questions, and appeals addressed to members of Congress concerning the Federal Reserve System and the author’s broader interpretation of American monetary and political power. Vennard begins with forty questions prepared for a Senate investigation into the nation’s finances and documents his attempts to obtain answers from senators, representatives, and government officials, arguing that Congress surrendered its constitutional authority over money and credit through the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and that the resulting system placed extraordinary economic and political influence in the hands of private banking interests. He connects monetary control with public debt, taxation, inflation, war, foreign policy, international institutions, and what he describes as the movement toward “One-Worldism,” contending that control of money ultimately enables control over government and national policy. Vennard presents the Federal Reserve as the central source of the problem and calls for its repeal or government repurchase, the restoration of congressional authority over currency, and the replacement of Federal Reserve Notes with United States Notes issued directly through constitutional government. Throughout, he urges Americans to demand investigation of the monetary system, hold their representatives accountable, and use political action to restore monetary and national sovereignty.
