5th annual American Monetary Institute conference

AMI Monetary Reform Conference - 5th Annual

A really outstanding program is forming for the AMI 5th Annual Monetary Reform Conference held at Roosevelt University in Chicago, Sept. 24-27th.

This is an important conference, coming at an important perhaps pivotal moment in our country's history. But it's no good to just cry and complain about what's happening to our country; we have to take action. Strategy will be discussed openly without covering over the failure thus far of the Obama Administration to move meaningfully on the issues they promised and were elected on. They have not even attempted to do so, but instead gear themselves to not offending the political groups that allowed criminal financial elements to wreck the nations money and banking system, and charge off the costs to hard working American citizens. This is unacceptable behavior on the part of the administration, but is not surprising considering that the President is surrounded by Summer, Geithner and Emmanuel.

Come to the Conference to see what's being promoted by the best, public spirited minds we could find, to resolve the crisis. For those of you considering attending, you can see photos, bios and topics of our confirmed speakers to date at http://www.monetary.org/2009schedule.html

It's very exciting! We do have a good time. The conference will focus on the solution to the nations monetary and unemployment crisis - the American Monetary Act; The reason why the three main elements of it are crucial to achieve together, and what can be done now. The conference will also demonstrate why "incrementalism" (begging for crumbs instead of demanding justice) does not work in the area of monetary reform, and is in fact very counter productive.

This is shaping up as our most successful conference to date, and to make participation easier, we are extending the $245 discount thru August 15th postmarks, after which it is $295 thru August 30th and then $395 after Sept. 1st. Act now - you'll feel better, save some money, and hopefully understand how to begin to save our country!

Warm regards to all,

Stephen Zarlenga

1. Time for #6

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.

P.S. If you are tired of hearing "the usual suspects" who created the crisis, hogging the airwaves, write or call the media in your area and suggest that they interview me by calling 224-805-2200.

2. Video of Bob Black's talk (featured in the Mike Moore movie)

Dear Friends of the American Monetary Institute,

Two reminders:

FIRST: this Thursday!
I'm giving a Free Monetary Seminar at the Henry George School of Social Science in New York City on Thursday April 29th, 6 PM to 9 PM. Come and bring friends to the School at 121 e. 30th St., between Lexington and Park. A good way to make contact, meet people and learn about monetary reform.

SECOND: save $170 by early registration to our Annual Conference
Remember April 30th is the last day to obtain the early discount for the AMI 6th annual Monetary Reform Conference in Chicago, September 30 thru Oct. 3rd. Applications postmarked (or emailed) by April 30th get the early registration discount at $225 (A savings of $170 from the full conference donation of $395). Please see the registration form at the AMI website at http://www.monetary.org/2010conference.html
and at www.monetary.org

THIRD:
To understand how truly great our conferences are, take a look at the talk given by William Black in 2009. He is certainly destined to become a key player in gaining justice contra the Fraudulent financiers. His talk is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4v9nf0oBsk
and do please send this on to your email list. When people have this kind of courage, we must all recognize it and assist them.

Hoping to see you at one or both of these events! Its an exciting time. Congressman Frank and Senator Dodd have introduced regulatory reforms, that do not come close to solving the problem. These fellows simply won't recognize what happens when special monetary privileges have been given to a tiny segment of our citizenry allowing them to benefit from the monetary harm they inflict on the rest of the society. We'll discuss whether this is just stupidity; or because economics removes considerations of justice from its "science;" or because financial elements are prominent among their campaign contributors.

See you,
Stephen Zarlenga
Director,

3. #6 material out

The 6th Annual AMI Conference was an exciting event, regarded by repeat participants as our best yet!

The most significant development was a presentation by Professor Kaoru Yamaguchi of his computerized analysis and conclusions on how the American Monetary Act would function. Professor Yamaguchi earned his Economics Doctorate at U.C. Berkeley and is now a Professor at the Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan; one of Japan's most prestigious Universities.

His macroeconomic analysis of the American Monetary Act using an advanced system dynamics approach showed very positive results:

1. The American Monetary Act will pay off the national debt without inflation.
2. It allows for the kind of growth we need in promoting jobs through fixing our infrastructure.
3. Using such debt-free money that the Act creates is the correct option for solving the crisis that neither of the competing dominant economists' viewpoints even consider.

This is a very big deal. Economists will now have to look beyond their dysfunctional Keynesian and opposing systems using debt for money, and carefully examine the American Monetary Act, which institutes debt-free money. We welcome this development.

Here is Professor Yamaguchi on our YouTube channel, being interviewed by two of our monetarily aware conference participants, Joe Bongiovanni and Peter Young:

Professor Yamaguchi's full paper is linked near the top of the AMI home page. The version of the Act which Professor Yamaguchi "modeled" is the one in our 32 page brochure presently on our web site at: http://www.monetary.org/amacolorpamphlet.pdf).

We are in final stages of having the conference talks available in full on the Internet.
Check back at our home page in the next few days to know when they are available.

Carol Brouillet's report on the AMI Conference is viewable at our home page at http://www.monetary.org

Congressman Dennis Kucinich addressed the Conference by video and told the participants to expect his bill to be introduced in November, 2010.

Finally, our 7th Annual AMI Monetary Reform Conference is scheduled for September 29th thru October 2nd. If you reserve now, this month (simply print and use one of the 2010 registration forms), you can reserve at the minimum rate (probably $225) and we'll phone you in January and February, 2011, to arrange confirmation and payment.

Warm regards to All,
Stephen Zarlenga
Director, AMI
