In their wordsVerbatim, exactly as submitted

“The fed is the only agency that is permitted to mint and tender currency, they are requiring electronic and card transactions at museums, national parks, and federal agencies. This violates several articles of federal law.…”
— henry giasson, goffstownsupports
“We must reestablish cash as fungible. We must never allow our financial lives to be exclusively on display to government search. This helps maintain our 4th Amendment to keep government at bay.”
— Daniel Richardson, Nashuasupports
