Thank you Katherine for pointing out that municipalities can do what Lincoln and JFK did and got killed for (along with Viet Nam War withdrawal orders, stopping military from bombing Cuba, attacking Oil Depletion Allowance, and blocking Israel's nukes: "On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. The Christian Law Fellowship has exhaustively researched this matter through the Federal Register and Library of Congress. We can now safely conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or superceded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still valid." http://www.john-f-kennedy.net/thefederalreserve.htm
