The following was placed on the GPAA forum website yesterday and today i read it. I posted the link for the bill text above, if Washington state passes this bill it wont be long until other states do so as well more than likely.... all in an attempt to recover revenue to keep the machine of government oiled and running, not caring about the rights of people to conduct private transactions in accordance with the 9th amendment. Pass it along to other folks as you can, and to anyone and everyone in Washington state to call and see if they cant get it stopped, it will really hurt many small businesses and even some bigger ones i suspect.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully others will know someone that can help get it stopped or slowed down in Washington state!! We all hang together or we will all hang separately!

WASHINGTON GOLD
If you live in the State of Washington - get on the phone. Follow up with a snail mail letter. This is more tracking every move you make with your own money. The only way to stop it is an avalanche of heat put on your state legislature:
Prepare To Give Up All Private Data For Any Gold Purchase Over $100
"A week ago, when we reported on a move by the Dutch central bank that ordered a pension fund to forcibly reduce its gold holdings, we speculated that "this latest gold confiscation equivalent event is most certainly coming to a banana republic near you." And while we got the Banana republic right, the event that we are about to describe is not necessarily identical. It is much worse. A bill proposed in the State of Washington (House Bill 1716), by representatives Asay, Hurst, Klippert, Pearson, and Miloscia, whose alleged purpose is to regulate secondhand gold dealers, seeks to capture "the name, date of birth, sex, height, weight, race, and address and telephone number of the person with whom the transaction is made" or said otherwise, of every purchaser of gold in the state of Washington.
"Furthermore, if passed, Bill 1716 will record "a complete description of the property pledged, bought, or consigned, including the brand name, serial number, model number or name, any initials or engraving, size, pattern, and color or stone or stones" and of course price. But the kicker: if a transaction is mode for an amount over $100, which means one tenth of an ounce of gold, also required will be a "signature, photo, and fingerprint of the person with whom the transaction is made." In other words, very soon Washington state will know more about you than you know about yourself, if you dare to buy any gold object worth more than a C-note. How this proposal is supposed to protect consumers against vulture gold dealers we don't quite get. Hopefully someone will explain it to us. We do, however, get how Americans will part with any and all privacy if they were to exchange fiat for physical. And in a police state like America, this will likely not be taken lightly, thereby killing the gold trade should the proposed Bill pass, and be adopted elsewhere.
"While we are confident that representatives Asay, Hurst, Klippert, Pearson, and Miloscia have no clue why they are even proposing this bill, we would also be delighted to find out which moneyed interests they represent, and what happens to precious metal trading in America should Bill 1716 become a legal precedent which is effectively the first step before the final implementation of Executive Order 6102 version 2." - Full text of bill.
Please call your representatives! Thanks, Dectector
