The Honorable Timothy Geithner
Secretary of the Treasury
1500 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20220 May 7, 2009
Dear Secretary Geithner,
Although we still believe the ten Presidents who served under the Constitution of 1777 should be included in the $1.00 Presidential Coin Act, it was decided not to re-file our Writ of Mandamus against your office for the following reasons:
· The $1 Presidential Coin Act of 2005 expressly precludes the Presidents of the Continental Congress from being honored on the dollar coin. They should be honored with the Presidents of the United States, in Congress Assembled.
· We believe that U.S. District Judge Steven D. Merryday’s advice to pursue the recognition of these men legislatively is prudent and will right the record on the US Presidency.
Enclosed please find a copy of a proposed Half Dollar Coin Act designed to honor both the Continental Congress and the United States in Congress Assembled Presidents. I have also enclosed a copy of the letter addressed to Senator Dodd, his committee members, and President Obama along with supporting proofs to our request.
The founding history of the 18th Century is most apropos to the challenges we face in this second millennium. It is our hope that we can work together and find common ground to honor these Founding Presidents as such recognition will benefit all Americans.
Thanking you in advance for your serious consideration of this proposal.
Sincerely,
Stanley L. Klos
President
