LB109 (McGill) would require precious metals dealers to report all transactions to law enforcement by noon the next day.

jrd is still here... kinda in a weird sort of way. She also just might be the happiest girl in the world because she got exactly what she wanted which was a perfect summer wandering playlist.

What's the current story on this?

When I clicked on the links, the IL bill came up as introduced in Feb. 2012...

Does anyone know if they're reintroducing it and how many states are doing that and is it going federal?

This is preemptive move

by gov't to be able to confiscate/regulate gold and silver when people flee to it as the dollar's value is destroyed by central bankers printing trillions of dollars.

WAIT WAIT WAIT

then they will have detailed info on who owns the goods???

"Eliminating Cash Transactions" seems to be recurring

in legislation these days. They had an anti cash bill in Louisiana last year. Said it was to deter crime. Right.

Why

why do Americans continue to let these people breathe? they should still be drug through the streets and hung for the whole world to see.

Mission control... over...

we got another "potentially violent" one here... let's get PRE-CRIME over there on the double... copy that?

Ever

wondered why every "capitalist" country has the 10 pillars of the communist manifesto.

A simple look into who financed communism will tell you who created "capitalism" with the creation of The Fed in 1913.

They want your guns because another Bolshevik revolution is being planned. Look who receives 97% of "Home Land Security" funding.

"One could not understand this war if one did not always keep in mind the fact that International Jewry stands behind all the unnatural forces that our united enemies use to attempt to deceive the world and keep humanity in the dark. It is, so to speak, the mortar that holds the enemy coalition firmly together, despite its differences of class, ideology, and interests. Capitalism and Bolshevism have the same Jewish roots, two branches of the same tree that in the end bear the same fruit." Joseph Goebbels, The Creators of the World’s Misfortunes

A petty offense and a 500.00

A petty offense and a 500.00 penalty if you are caught... sounds like it is worth taking the risk.

Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry
And I would dearly like to know
How all this squander of earthly plunder
will leave us anything to show

For sure

If this passes, why not just buy a little bit extra to sell if you get busted? Sooner or later selling an ounce of Ag might cover the entire fine.

Holy CRAP!

Let's pray that as Illinois goes so NOT goes the country.

At this point it appears to be limited to the State of ILLinois.

It seems, it has become a test site for how to deal with a Patriot uprising.

Strip their money
Go after their supplies
Ban their weapons

Fairly transparent if you pay attention to patterns.

As always though.. People will use their "strengths" and arrogance against them.

4 Steps of Crony Capitalism/ Corporatism

1)Goldman Sachs/ JP Morgan Chase/ Banksters, et all meet with FED to discuss controlling Gold/Silver markets

2)Group finds appropriate lobbyist as go-between to contact Senator Dillard and submit draft legislation to him along with promises of reward (camp. contributions or other such lucre.

3)Senator submits legislation

4)Headline found on DP

Gold. Guns. Girls.

There is so much

tyranny coming at us from so many angles it is getting hard to keep track of it all. Vote this a-hole out!

that's MY State Senator, gang!!!!

I am in his district, I met him in person at the Illinois State Republican Convention in Tinley Park last summer where I was a delegate...what shall we do....????

Do you really wanna know?

...or was that just a rhetorical question?

Screw the rep - a distraction from dealing with the REAL CAUSE of these unconstitutional problems... sheriff's who allow this stuff... a REAL SHERIFF would go over and arrest him.

The bill is prima facie evidence of intent to subvert constitutionally guaranteed rights which this public servant is sworn to uphold. Of course... this is all completely LEGAL:

http://www.dailypaul.com/268762/us-citizens-have-no-constitu...

tel him to pound sand!

good old America sand that is!

If you were a delegate to the

If you were a delegate to the State Convention and a registered Republican in his district, you are the one to act in your local area. It is not what "we" on the Daily Paul can do, it is what you and people in your district and state can do, that will make the most impact.

Get together with a few MATURE, THOUGHTful and trusted liberty people who you know in person (not people you only know over the internet) and work up a letter writing effort to the State Senator. Base your argument on things that he himself claims to care about. Convince him that he's violating his own stated principles and those of the party.

It is good to follow it up by circulating a petition with hundreds of voter's signatures against this bill, and then delivering it to his office with a crowd of demonstrators with you. Invite someone from the press and have someone shoot a video of the event including you giving the State Senator the petition.

Follow up with another petition to the State Capitol and letter writing to other legislators, especially Republicans, until he withdraws this bill. Don't let up until he publicly agrees that it's a bad idea.

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never give up, and Godspeed to you on your efforts.

ah...but, there is a "we"...

...do we want to keep "bumping statists off"?

Do we want to keep gaining legislative seats?

Do we want to try again, in smaller offices?

Do we want to keep criticizing Rand Paul?

Do we want to keep bashing Jesse Benton?

Do we want to keep second guessing Dr. Paul's 2012 campaign?

Do we want REAL hurting citizens to score an upset?

Do we want to make some noise?

Are we an army?

Do we have the talent?

Does anyone(or many) wanna take a shot at running a campaign for experience in research, handler, speech-writer, media appearances, voter registration, coordinating events, etc.? (or a VICTORY)?

The first thing we need is a guy willing to be the candidate in this district being targeted - ummm.... that would be me!!!

Now, where do "we" go from here - sacrifice, or, keep complaining?

You see - there exists an opportunity here - I am lacking in many areas; but eager to bounce this guy in a David vs. Goliath statement(grass roots versus the establishment) IF we want to take it on...

I am a 2nd shift custodian in my hometown public school system; I have two other jobs as well; I am recently divorced, I have 5 children - I have my principles, I have made my mistakes while being ignorant of "the system", I have been crushed by "the system", I want to make good on my debts, I want to set an example for my children, I want to LEAD in the change back to statesmanship, I want to ALERT the still sleeping, I want to get more people to HATE the cronyism and fight against it, I want to RESTORE what citizens used to EXPECT from their lawmakers...I don't know when i'll draw my last breath, but dammit, I need to do SOMETHING while I can!!!

I ain't much, but I do get it...and IF nobody else wants to stand up and be the Ron Paul Republican needed to challenge this seat, I am raising my hand....but I need a TEAM, and that is the "we"....

I say it's worth it - to get the message out - and keep the Liberty brushfire BURNING!!!

Kirk wants to run for Governor of Illinois in 2014 ... I think he'll be busy....so...do I run as a Republican or a Libertarian...

hmm

well what do you wanna run as republican or libertarian? keep the brush fires up my friend :)

I am offering to be a candidate...

...there is tons.of work to be done in a campaign....any takers????

Jobs, right??

Party affiliation is not the issue....being a Republican in a primary would be VERY HARD....being a Libertarian candidate exposing the inevitable RINO candidate, crony guy, born with a spoon in his mouth, destined to go into Springfield to COMPROMISE with house speaker Mike Madigan is well worth it I say!!

I grew up in these wealthy suburbs of Chicago, I have their values....but....Springfield is a cess pool of dirty politics and FEAR dominates there....so...I say we run a no fear campaign based on Ron Paul's principles of Statesmanship and COURAGE....

who wants some????

Just ignore the ...

Just ignore the unconstitutional laws.

This proves

that there is no difference between a republican an a democrat. This is seriously offensive. What I buy is my personal business, nobody else should know what I buy, let alone pm's.

This was introduced at the STATE level

Kirk W. Dillard is a member of the Illinois STATE Senate, and the Bill was introduced there. It is not a federal bill. Here is the full text on the website of the Illinois General Assembly.

Not saying that this bill isn't still very noteworthy - just want to make sure people are clear on this. Please consider adding this clarification to the OP.

I will add that Dillard, a Republican, served in the Illinois Senate with Obama and is an "unabashed admirer", and he and has even campaigned for him.

He was a hair away from being the Republican candidate for Illinois Governor in 2010. He only lost the primary by 0.02% to Bill Bradey.

Also...

If you look at the actual bill and read the date that it was introduced by Dillard, it was 2/7/2012... almost a year ago.

Shocker

Wow, it's really hard to believe that this is coming from ILLINOIS

Of all the States, the last place I would EVER think such and obviously freedom-hating, authoritarian, corrupt scheming money grabbing piece of legislation would be introduced!

/sarcasm

Primary challenger....

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to have a Liberty-oriented primary challenger to Sen. Dillard of Illinois.

Ron Paul is my president. I am a Ron Paul Republican.

let's get a team here...

...and let's get it started....that's MY State Senator!!!

In Canada

they already do this but they aren't extensive when it comes to it. All I do is give a fake name and rip up the receit when I'm done
