I just found this picture and thought it was a great idea.

Anyway, here is the bill for it

Bill Summary & Status - 111th Congress (2009 - 2010) - H.R.2854 - All Information - THOMAS (Library of Congress)
 
Hell No, this is typical of do nothing Republicans. Eric Cantor is a joke.
 
Honestly, this is one of those things, I could careless either way.

Edit: New thought. Maybe I don't like it for when strippers get dollar bills now the Constitution will be rubbing against some potential naughty places.
 
I really have no problem with putting the Constitution or any other official document on the money, the one thing that has to go is that whole "In God We Trust" garbage.

I should have clarified, that wasn't the interesting part, the summary of the constitution was. I don't care either way about the God statement personally.

I wonder though, if our dollars are circulating abroad, if this would be a good way to spread some of the values we hold dear and think the rest of the world should as well. A way to get the word out so to speak.

It was introduced a couple years ago by Cantor. No co-sponsors, no action since.
 
Not as long as it has "In God We Trust" on it. Money should be secular.
 
I wouldn't mind it. But I do think constitutional rights should be the 4th R in education.Reading, wRiting, aRithmetic, and constitution Rights.

Should be apart of a Social Sciences curriculum, under US politics. Should be rational discussions and opinions shared on what the children think is good or bad in the constitution and points addressed. The constitution is not some unquestionable sacred text, it's a political document.

I think it's incredibly hypocritical for anyone except a few select congressmen to support this bill, considering how many times they've supported unconstitutional legislation.

From a purely aesthetic view it's quite horrible looking :(

The first thing they should change on the money is taking off "In God We Trust", and changing it to "With Liberty and Justice for All", or just removing it entirely.

This seems like another part of the never-ending battle between politicians to act like they're the most patriotic while simultaneously doing a terrible job of their own legislative position. Maybe if they focused on things that actually have large consequence for the nation it wouldn't be in such bad shape at the moment.

I'm really sick of this battle. Maybe it's because all but like 3 congresspeople are total hypocrite stingebags :lol:
 
As long as it holds value I could give 2 ****s what's on our money.

I agree. All’s good as long as its still got the familiar coating of excrement, ejaculate, blood and cocaine.


...but I wouldn't mind if they toned down the whole ****-them-godless-ruskies thing they've got going with the "In God We Trust" crap.

Hell the Constitution "rubbing" against a progressive mind or SCOTUS is naughty enough.
 
No, of course not.

The Constitution does have one single use of the word "God", so the phrase "In God We Trust" shouldn't be there at all.

Also, that's not how "rutabaga" is spelled.

Another phrase that has no business being on American currency is the phrase "Federal Reserve Note".
 
It is vaguely disconcerting how conservatives seem to feel the meaning of the Constitution is so obvious and unambiguous that all they have to do is make it as widely available as possible and read it aloud in Congress and everyone will magically turn conservative.
 
To the person on spreading it into other countries. That may sound good but also could backfire as some will feel we are pushing our way on them.
 
Why put it on the back? It should be on the front.

I agree that "Federal Reserve Note" should be removed, because that's a lie.

If it's put on the back, I'll never see it. Money passes through my hands much too quickly to allow me the time to turn it over.
 
Kind of ironic to have the Constitution on money that says "In God We Trust."
 
Cosmetic changes shouldn't be made when we're bankrupt as it is.
