Anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman to replace Jackson on $20 bill |
It seems almost every ethnic group wants in on the action.
My ethnicity of the Jewish people,want to replace Abraham Lincoln on the $5.00 bill with Albert Einstein.
Many claim honest Abe was actually Jewish? It is said he was shot in the Tempo-Temple (sic)
Read USA Today article;

Every Ethnicity wants their own on currency. The Jewish people are said to want Einstein! |
I see no reason to change history, I am not for changing what's been a stronghold and tradition for many years.
The Donald is said to be considering himself to grace the 100.00 bill if elected president! |
Make new denominations of currency to put these people of honor on--or put them on postage stamps or name airports or buildings after them. Why are we deleting history to replace it with other history? Adding history is good, deleting history is not.
The Irish, the Russians, the Germans, the Italians and the Hawaiians to mention a few all want their own kind on currency.
The Jews want Einstein, Oy vey
The Hawaiians want Duke Kahanamoku, Mahalo Nui Loa.
The list is endless, I say add them all, but lets not lose track and delete the history we have.
Whose going to argue with the Italians? |
The Italians want Al Capone, whose going to argue that? Not me!
