This special episode is entitled Freedom & The Texas Transactional Currency, also known as House Bill 4903 in the Texas House of Representatives Calendar Committee currently, as I record.

I had the opportunity to testify briefly on the importance and historical significance – and urgency – of this bill last week but now that it's advanced to the Calendar Committee I felt morally obliged to produce this interview-style podcast specifically for the Calendar Committee so that they'll have a chance to fully understand the historic opportunity they have before them to rush HB4903 out of Calendars and into the Senate; to get it passed with us and for us as Texans and as Americans.

So, I brought this to you in the format of an interview.

I recently had the opportunity to talk about all of this with Frank Salvato the host of the Underground USA podcast. Frank seemed like the perfect person to be the interviewer and to tease out this essential information for you because he served as editor to numerous online publications including The Washington Dispatch and The New Media Journal. His analysis of important matters has been recognized by the US House International Relations Committee and the Japan Center for Conflict Prevention.

Honestly, I think HB4903 is, in a sense, a form of conflict prevention because we're living in very frightening and increasingly economically uncertain times. People up and down the economic scale are worried about soaring crime, soaring economic despair, soaring inequalities, and soaring non-responsiveness by our government. HB4903 is an opportunity to fix all of those things in one epic and historic bill together with its companion in the Texas Senate.

So, I thought Frank's background and expertise were just perfect. I'm so grateful to Frank for participating in this interview so I could bring this information to you.

And I want to let you know, if you're interested, Frank can be heard on The Captain's America: Third Watch radio program. His segments are broadcast twice weekly – Mondays and Fridays – on the Salem Broadcasting Network.

And now, let's get into the interview…
