Andrew Jackson. Fifty Years ago we heard about what a great and clever President he was. Now he's in the doghouse. Trail of Tears anyone? Not really mentioned when we were in grammar school was Jackson's animosity toward native Americans, nor the high priority their relocation was in his presidential administration. No one is one thing. But this is pretty high on the Unforgivable Scale. Given that the government-- yours and mine-- is so reluctant to address the imbalance in representation in US currency (currently it's Old White Guys Seven, Everyone Else Zero) it is up to us to try to fix things. You can get a nice little stamp for around twenty bucks, and some nice Japanese ink, and obliterate Andy, one double sawbuck at a time.

Money circulates almost as widely as ideas, so this move lifts awareness one transaction at a time. A DIY revolution.
