Remove Jackson from $20/Honor Native Peoples

[Philip Tymon]

Yo--

It's time we removed Andrew Jackson, America's Hitler, from the $20 bill and used that bill to honor the native heritage.

Jackson ordered the removal of all native peoples in the American southeast to lands west of the Mississippi. This forced march of hundreds of miles by barefoot, poorly fed women, children, and men often in shackles resulted in the cultural genocide of numerous tribes as well as tens of thousands of deaths. In addition he did this in defiance of a Supreme Court order not to... so he violated his oath of office and is, therefore, a traitor to the U.S. Constitution. Further, many of these very tribes fought and died for him in earlier engagements with other tribes backed by the British and in the War of 1812. So he is a traitor to everything that is good and decent. That he is on our $20 bill is an outrage.

Yes, it's a quixotic quest, probably take 20 or 30 years to accomplish, but what else are you doing? Let's start a movement.

I'm a technological idiot so how to we go about doing this using Facebook and all of that other stuff? Ideas please!

Thanks.

Are you sure someone like him isn't exactly who should be on American currency? I have heard of a town in Massachusetts that has started issuing its own currency for use in local barter. Here's the link I just found Buy Local—With Town Currency (https://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/content/jul2007/sb20070717_097103.htm)
