Alexander Hamilton is a Revolutionary War veteran, a signer of the US Constitution, was aide-de-camp to General George Washington, and founded the First Bank of the United States. He was also the first Secretary of the Treasury. This petition seeks to keep Hamilton on the $10.00 bill and instead to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20.00 bill with a woman. Andrew Jackson was responsible for the Indian Removal Act, otherwise known as the Trail of Tears. He also opposed the Second Bank of the United States and paper money. Please sign the this petition to keep Hamilton and replace Jackson.

The feedback regarding historical legacy has been both insightful and rigorous. I am currently preparing a formal memorandum to outline why reconsidering the currency portrait selection is a matter of national integrity.

Hamilton is one of the true founders of this great democracy and country - please consider replacing Jackson who was, until his dying day, a slave holder - it'd be fitting to replace him with Harriet Tubman's image.
Hamilton created this country, Jackson created heartbreak for the Native Americans. Keep Hamilton, replace Jackson!!
Even though I represent Mr. Gallatin, who was perhaps Col. Hamilton's greatest opponent on fiscal matters at the beginning of the Republic, I still feel that Hamilton, as the "Creator" of the Financial System of the United States, should continue to be honored on an example of that system's functioning. Andrew Jackson's continued presence on the $20 bill is an insult to the system.
It's outrageous that the first Secretary of the Treasury and architect of the U.S. financial system, U.S. Coast Guard, author of more than half of the essays of the Federalist Papers cannot maintain the only national honor to him! Replace Andrew Jackson who does not deserve this national honor!
Don't replace the man who created our banking and financial system. Instead, replace the unrepentant racist/slaveholder Jackson--who tried to destroy the banks and who loathed the idea of paper money!
Just read his biography. Amazing man.

Alexander Hamilton should remain on the $10 bill by himself as he was such an important part of our history, especially fiscally and giving us a monetary system we still use to keep this country going. A woman should be on the $20 bill as she has made so many contributions to our history and Andrew Jackson showed hatred and bigotry and lack of humanity so he should be removed.
