Thanks a lot, Yolanda! I'm sure the students will appreciate it ;-)

All - Revise Phrasal Verbs

Dear All,

it's a good idea to revise phrasal verbs from time to time.
Follow this link.

If the American People ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied. The issuing power of money should be taken from the bankers and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs. I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies. We are completely saddled and bridled, and the bank is so firmly mounted on us that we must go where they ill guide.
