Forget the $20... Put her on a $500 bill. That's about the value needed when we adjust for inflation from the time the US Government took everything over $100 out of circulation as an attempt to crack down on the underground economy. Tubman was all about the underground railroad. Honor her for that, too.
And, while we're at it, repeal the laws requiring banks to act as government agents when citizens deal in large amounts of cash, as well as the seizure laws that allow the government and its agents to seize monies suspected of being used for criminal activity.
The Bill of Rights says that our papers, personal effects, and persons are not to be seized or searched without due process!
Just when did the Fourth Amendment get repealed? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
