Chairman King, members of the Texas House Committee on State Affairs, I am Chuck DeVore, and on behalf of the Texas Public Policy Foundation I urge support of HB 1056 by Rep. Dorazio.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a California State Assemblyman, a U.S. Army intelligence officer, and an aerospace executive—experiences that have shaped my perspective on the urgent need for state-level action in an era of long-term federal neglect of civil defense.
Today, I submit this testimony in strong support of HB 1056, a visionary bill that would establish a gold- and silver-backed digital fractional currency as legal tender in Texas, authorized under the U.S. Constitution.
