SR 27 Bank of California

[Anothercoilgun]

It was a good effort.  But of course He did not sign it.

BILL NUMBER: AB 750 VETOED DATE: 09/26/2011

To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 750 without my signature.

This bill would mandate yet another "blue ribbon" task force: in this

case to examine whether California should establish a state bank.

This is a matter well within the jurisdiction and competence of the

Assembly and Senate Banking Committees.

Rather than creating a new entity, let's use the resources we have.

Sincerely,

Edmund G. Brown Jr.

Best video I've seen this week. I'll pass it on.

[talons2112]

Right on LL Bean!

[Nanya]

Did the Governor sign the bill or not?

[bstill3]

@Nanya - no, he did not. He let it die saying he was sending it back to the legislature to implement without studying it. It's just a buck-passing exercise.

[meemoeuk]

I always thought taking on the money mafia in new york and their federal reserve was too ambitious. Setting up public banks, state by state, is much more realistic.

[okinko1]

Hello Bill! He's an idea on how to pay off our bank loans. Let's "FRACTION RESERVE" PAY our loans!!!

[preppervseconomy]

I love your work, Bill!

[nickintp]

Thank you so much for the "Money Masters" video!!!

[sdavid78]

Any news about the bill 1 month later?

[hopenchrist777]

I wish I had found your site sooner. You are just about the only one to help others see the TRUTH of what is going on. Thank you so much for your time and talents in waking-up those seeking the TRUTH of finance and government. Kepp up the great work my friend! Peace.

[ytubeaccount0123]

hi - what's happend with ab7140?

[drpapa26]

Finally some good news ... but I wonder: are there even enough money left in California or anywhere else in the U.S. to to fund this bank?

[TheAnointedSamurai]

Hearin' you loud 'n' clear bill....keep up the fight brother.  - Kevin from Kenya

[mikecorbeil]

This video is a great explanation for the value or importance of the states having each their own state banks. There's much more about the topic, but what I've looked at were mostly articles, including several by Ellen Brown at globalresearch[dot]ca, wherre she has an index of articles under Authors. For videos, I've viewed The Money Masters produced by Bill Still and, I believe, some other individuals; plus having listened to a number of Youtube videos with Gerald Celente and some others..

[FedupwithR]

The Occupy Wall Street demonstrators should watch Bill Still.

[IYAMNI]

There is a media blackout on this. I didn't even know how close we were to having a state bank! All he ash to do is sign! I have linked and forwarded this video to everyone. Also subscribed. Glad I found you account.

[DCUPtoejuice]

what are the downsides of not having "independent" monetary policy? That is, would control of the central bank by state government officials present new risks? Would this leave the door open for government to spend without restraint?

[6024691380]

now some state currency please, you are still at the mercy of fed inflation

[teonactl336]

Bill, you're wright, they're contracting the money supply. Dollar is going up...gold and silver falling.

[PoliticalAnimal1959]

That putrid polluted political dinosaur, Jeffry Brown, will most assuredly veto this bill. Why? It's because the vast majority of career politicians are absolute low-lifes.

[oblivionsdelightful]

I've left comments for you before Mr. Still and all of them mean nothing to me now except this one....

PLEASE come to California and help get this passed!

If My state did this we could be awesome like ND!

Just like you said every sate could be!

[Mankindfails]

Great video, thank you for taking the time to inform people

[beltonism]

North Dakota! What a great example of progress!

[MrMnmn911]

"Jerry, I know your staff ordered 3 copies of The Secret of Oz during your campaign"...Classic PWND moment. LMAO!

[ravenmccloud]

Thanks again Bill for keeping us informed in common sense way that normal people can understand.

[mikecorbeil]

Sounds very good, or rather great, and I hope that many people get to hear your message.

It also reminds me of articles by Ellen Brown, who's written plenty for encouraging people, readers anyway, to do much as you say needs to be done.

[chorakemotorcycles]

Bill Still should be the next United States Secretary of the Treasury and Ron Paul the next President of the USA.

[astraeashaw]

Fantastic news. And thank you for your work for us all, Bill.

[cmciis]

Bravo, Bill Still. Your movement may really get going.

[gunitup234]

please watch the new video about how important open carry is.

The video is called "open carry your gun california please veto bill AB 144 victims vs. Raged killer watch!"

[charkee1]

Hooray! A bank for the people and by the people. Down with the banksters of Wall Street and the City of London. Let them scream, let them rot.

[thumdar]

Nice video ~ thanks for helping US citizens understand this very important issue. Keep up the good work!

[mrstenify]

Is there any downside to a State Bank? I follow your reports and have to say that your doing a great job.

[poppanolan]

Bill Still is a freaking patriot! Please keep sharing Bill's work! Thank you Mr Still.

[drtyrell969]

Could they con the bank into bankruptcy and take CA lock stock and barrel?

[tpulling83]

I love this!!! Finally something that works.

Jerry Brown better sign this bill...

[geoharmonic]

since i can't insert the weblink into a comment, you can put the link in the description area of the video. I will do my best to put out a call to action to my fellow Californians.

My only problem with the Bank of North Dakota is that it could be used to control which foods are grown on the land. My main focus of political activism is towards a reform of agriculture and promoting biodiverse markets not so much for export but mostly local consumption.

[geoharmonic]

Maybe a premature congratulations Bill, but if this passes in California this could be very well the tipping point to cure our financial ills. Well done my friend.

[drshlotzkin]

Wow! It's this guy... You rock.

[Orgasmosexicon]

Quite interesting - thank you for posting this. It's a good news, I hope.

[stchrismusic]

This is great info, thanks Bill.

[wtfbollos]

[excxflyr]

this will be great if Californians can pull this off!!

[frankzakzak]

Go to Jerry Brown California. Hit send email.

There are a list of bills. Hit AB 750 in list.. Next page will say yes or no. Hit yes.

[NicosMind]

Surprised that theres no comments here. Im gonna mirror this in the hope that i get it some extra views it otherwise wouldnt get. Im not a Californian resident or even a resident of the US but im tempted to write myself.

[TheMiguelGrande]

It makes too much common sense to succeed

[americanbandwidth]

Another good report to give us hope.

With luck and some common sense the people will Still Listen.

Thanks for the effort.

[nayanmalig]

GO USA! FOLLOW ASIA!

[nayanmalig]

GO USA! FOLLOW ASIA!

[EVRYMANaKING]

Thanks Bill...really appreciate all the information you give us.

[popawilli]

Thats good news to hear, now go do the right thing Jerry

[fullfist]

another great video.

the bankers would like nothing more that to collect hidden taxes through interest directly from the people an almost bottomless resource. seems to me the concept of having a private bank lend to the state is nothing more than feudalism.

[dgmoocher]

Thanks Bill. I live in CA and did not know about this. I will keep a lookout for it now. Love your backdrop as it reminds me of how pretty this country is. Love your reports.

[slumberingsam]

Thanks for the update Bill! I love to hear some good news (let's hope)

[Larkinchance]

Bravo!

[scramblethink]

Good news! Interesting, Wonder if the county-bank is next.

Or some kind of coop-bank - Owned by the depositors! (idea)

[cosmic10101010]

Power to the People!!!

[xeppo]

Brilliant :-)

[PeterSantilliTV]

Just called Governor Brown's office! His staff took my message encouraging him to sign the bill, and they indicated that the bill is on his desk awaiting a signature. FYI: Governor Brown has until October 9, 2011 to sign the bill, and we need EVERYONE to call and ask him to sign the bill!!!!!!

[pirucreek]

Two more things to help the middle class are to end unions and to end the minimum wage. It may seem like an oxymoron, but if you allow wages to relative and be compared to one another fairness will result. For example, would you rather be a airplane pilot for $30 per hour or a flight attendant for $30 per hour. At first glance you would say flight attendant. But, look at the job description. The pilot does not have to deal with guest or clean-up or push a drink cart. Let the market decid.

[pirucreek]

I do support the Bank of California as stated here to save California $5 billion a year, however it does nothing to protect the middle classes money lost to the ravages of inflation caused by Federal government deficit spending. If you get 5% interest from a bank, you will be losing 10% to inflation.

A solution you should look into is "full" reserve banking. Where the bank does not lend money, like a mutual bank or stock account. BTW, I never heard of Vanguard or Etrade failing.

[IggyInBurnaby]

Great post Bill.

I am a Canadian, and am not 100% clear about the system here. I believe the Bank of Canada is a national bank. Mackenzie King nationalized the bank in an effort to take the money creation power away from a private corporation. Can you either explain or put out a video about Canada's banking system, and whether it needs reform or not? Some sources claim Canada's banking system is the soundest in the world. Is that true?

Thanks!

[Bogseraren]

Well done, Bill! And well done, Ellen Brown!

[wizdumb420]

good stuff. I've been telling people who are down and out of luck to go to N. Dakota and start again.

[jtbrowniii]

This is truly great news! I'm calling Gov. Brown's office tomorrow. Thanks for spreading the word Bill (Also, a huge kudos to Ellen Brown)...

[feverdreams111]

excellent points

[WeAreChangeFresno76]

We love you Bill...

[wishtree]

great job Bill , Thank for the great movies too

[D35TRUCT0]

Phone number you gave is constantly busy. Hopefully, all of your viewers are calling in, this could be HUGE!

[dink65]

Sure, why not. A  totally bankrupt State "owning" something else that is fundamentally bankrupt by it's very design.........

[Ericlepiqable]

nice suit bill....and a very good report too...keet it up

[westernciviliznation]

wait a minute, a State-owned bank? I thought you said previously that government owned any bank is a bad idea....

[wtfbollos]

wow, go california! this a great news, let's hope they do it.

[spootieho]

Wouldn't the state need to actually have money in order to use it?

[PerivaleBuses]

Well said.

Greetings from London.

[jazzcornejorn]

Long Life to Bill Still reporting on economy! Thanks for posting!

[seks03]

This would be so amazing if California was to adopt this... I have already called Gov. Jerry Brown about this. Thank you for reporting on this.

[flahr1]

I really appreciate your info and analysis. I think the feds will find some way to stop this. Oh and using your property as a backdrop is great!

[1betrman]

Thanks Bill Still,in my book your "Still" the best!

[CollegScholarship101]

This a potentially great idea. If nothing else, it's a step away from our current system, which fails us terribly--and all too often. My only (small) concern is that if states faced no interest charges, it might encourage even MORE spending.

[stopthemaddnessnow]

I don't think we can trust the state to run a bank. If you think the banks are corrupt now, just wait for this one.

[merselous]

Thanks Mr. Still, as a Californian and an American i really appreciate your work on behalf of all humanity to end debt slavery

. I will be sure to contact the Gov. regarding this.

[EddieA10]

I hope this is a sign of good things to come... END THE FED...

[BanksterSlayer]

This is great news. And where goes California, so goes the nation. If Calif. actually sets this up, you would see a wave of similar state-run banks begin to roll like a tsunami ... except that this tsunami would benefit people, rather than destroy them as the The Fed does.

[freddietz96]

Nice vid. Everything I’ve done the past 2 years has been an exercise in educating myself despite circumstances: the criminality of my nation w/ regard to its banking, insurance, war-making and evidence-concealing—I never investigated this earlier, as I’m an American, and our consumerism teaches us to obsess about ourselves. Private central banking just sells you wardrobes of “invisible” silk coats in the freezing winter, turning our populace of "emperors" into mountains of icy naked corpses.

[alowlyapprentice]

Sounds like a good idea. However, I wonder who is going to run the bank.

[axis4peace4]

This is good news bill. Btw Ralph epperson has put together a new video to rival your secrets of oz and money masters

[mrblack61]

Thanks for the video Bill. So when are you on RT?

[mrblack61]

Thanks for the video Bill. So when are on RT?

Watch this video and more on the Silver Bullet page on Facebook. Peace!

[yaahme]

Great information, I pray this idea spreads...end the Fed Reserve!
