Congressman Warren Davidson alleges that the U.S. treasury department is responsible for attempting to tuck in anti-crypto language at the 11th hour into the infrastructure bill. It looks like Janet Yellen has picked up where Mnuchin left off in terms of sneaky insertion of anti-crypto policy at the last minute, and other furtive behavior. They know that they can't win in fair and open democratic processes where input from industry stakeholders and individuals are respected and taken into account. So instead, they go for the ol' covert trick: quick and sly insertion into a must-pass bill. All Americans, whether crypto supporters or not, should find this kind of perversion of democracy reprehensible.

Now is the time to reject these tactics, and persuade our local representatives that what Treasury is trying to do is at best misguided, and at worst anti-democratic. Here are some great points that you could share with your local rep in an email or voice mail:

We came together on the Mnuchin fight and we won. We can win this one as well if we all do our part.
