Sounds great. Let's put Ceasar Chavez on the 5. Put Larry Flynt on the 10.

[annyokie]

Let's get Ronald Reagan on the dime first.

[doug from upland]

Nancy wants that project dropped.

[nmh]

Could we also put all the woman he indulged in as a border around his face and the rest of the bill?

This one was quite the lying cheat. Any breathing woman was a potential target. It's almost a requirement amongst Demoncrats to be this way.

I don't disagree with the idea per se, but the following line makes absolutely no sense from a logic perspective...

toward repairing America’s relationship with African Americans

Is there an africa-america? if not, are african-americans not part of america? must they repair their relationship with themselves? such liberal pc tripe.

I'm just thankful that February is the SHORTEST month of the year. So I don't have to endure all this puffed up rewritten history for long.

Personally, I would be happy to see *anyone* who is not FDR on the $20 bill.

However, keep in mind that once you change it to MLK, it's a done deal. After that, any attempt at change will be immediately labeled as "racist". So let's all be sure that this is really a change we want to make.

[nmh]

Yes, she does and we do need to respect her wishes.

[cyborg]

I'm thankful it's short so I don't have to read snotty FR threads about it

[annyokie]

Yes, I know. I think she should be overruled, IMO.

I hope someone speaks up for Andy Jackson. Didn't he promote the democratization of politics, removing it from control by well to do eastern salons?

[luvbach1]

I nominate Al Sharpton for both sides of a two-headed nickel.

[luvbach1]

If tradition counts for anything, retain Jackson on the $20. Our bills have changed enough already (too much?) in an effort to make them conterfeit-resistant.

[Keith]

If anything, it's time to put James Madison, the author of the Constitution, on our money...how about that?

[Ronin]

Put MLK on the food stamps.

[ladyinred]

Ronald Reagan still divides the country? Hello? Knock Knock? The great divide was/is the Clinton/Gore regime. They did damage it will take years to heal!!!

[Humidston]

And don't forget BJ Clinton! He should be put on a bill too.

He and Martin Luther King would've made great friends because of *shared interests.*

On second thought, rework the $2.00 bill.

[Quix]

Has anyone ever researched whether that old pic of MLK with a bunch of communists was a fake or not? It was old looking in 1968.

[Diver Dave]

Put MLK on the food stamps.

Your plan will be in place next year on St. Martin's Day.

>>>Let's get Ronald Reagan on the dime first. <<<

Reagan on $1.00 or $5.00 gold piece and then, and only then, King on a paper treasury note of $1.00. <p. Either, or leave things as they are with bills - founding fathers + Lincoln only!
