Dear [Representative/Senator] [Last Name],

I am writing to express my concern regarding Ripple Labs Inc. and its cryptocurrency, XRP. Their actions appear to threaten the decentralization fundamental to cryptocurrencies. Notably, Ripple’s lobbying against the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) raises questions about their intentions.

Reports indicate that Ripple and CEO Brad Garlinghouse are working to undermine the SBR, potentially favoring centralized control over the decentralized nature of digital currencies. Additionally, Ripple’s promotion of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) over Bitcoin suggests an alignment with centralized financial systems, possibly leveraging their infrastructure.

The implications of Ripple’s influence include:

1. Centralization of Cryptocurrency: By advocating for CBDCs, Ripple may facilitate centralization, reducing user autonomy in the crypto space.

2. Lobbying Against SBR: The SBR aims to strengthen the U.S. dollar and national economic interests through Bitcoin. Ripple’s opposition seems to counter this pro-Bitcoin strategy.

Given these concerns, I urge you to:

• Investigate Ripple Labs’ lobbying activities, including their financial contributions to political figures and campaigns, especially concerning their stance against the SBR.

• Support policies that protect decentralized financial systems, emphasizing the importance of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin that operate independently of centralized control.

The freedom represented by cryptocurrencies should not be compromised by corporate interests seeking centralization for their gain. Your action in this matter would support financial freedom and ensure transparency in cryptocurrency sector lobbying practices.

Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your response and commitment to addressing these concerns.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Subject: Protect Decentralization and Support the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR)

Dear [Representative/Senator] [Last Name],

I am writing to express my concern regarding Ripple Labs Inc. and its cryptocurrency, XRP, which pose a threat to the principles of decentralization and financial freedom. I also urge you to support the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) to safeguard U.S. economic interests.

Ripple’s lobbying efforts against the SBR and promotion of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) align with centralized financial systems that could limit individual freedoms and undermine U.S. leadership in decentralized finance (DeFi). The SBR would function as a reserve of Bitcoin, similar to gold reserves, to stabilize the U.S. dollar, hedge against inflation, and ensure economic security in a digitized world.

Why Decentralization Matters:

Decentralization ensures no single entity controls a financial system, protecting individual autonomy and privacy. Bitcoin’s decentralized nature is its strength, resisting manipulation and serving as a hedge against inflation and authoritarian oversight.

Ripple’s Harmful Actions:

Ripple’s promotion of CBDCs and lobbying against the SBR prioritizes corporate profits over national interests, undermining financial innovation and our global competitiveness.

What You Can Do:

1. Investigate Ripple Labs’ lobbying activities, including their opposition to the SBR.

2. Support the establishment of the SBR to strengthen U.S. financial independence and innovation.

3. Protect decentralized financial systems like Bitcoin to ensure their continued freedom from undue control.

For further insight, I recommend consulting Senator Cynthia Lummis, an advocate for Bitcoin and decentralization. Your leadership is essential in protecting our financial future and maintaining the United States’ position as a global leader in financial innovation.

Sincerely,

[Your Full Name]
