As the ringleader for what she has modestly nicknamed “Team Cash” in her adopted state of South Dakota, Susan’s practical, roll-up-her-sleeves efforts on behalf of cash—including helping get legislation passed that requires South Dakota’s schools to accept cash at school events—have not only borne fruit at the local and state levels but have served as a profound source of inspiration for cash warriors everywhere.
JP Cortez
Executive Director of the Sound Money Defense League, a policy group that advocates for a stable and constitutional monetary system.
Solari’s monthly online briefings are designed to support state legislators, other elected officials, and engaged citizens who are working to preserve American freedoms. The briefing on October 10, 2025, discussed tools to protect our ability to live a free life. Guests JP Cortez and Susan Luschas joined Catherine for the discussion.
Cortez is Executive Director of the Sound Money Defense League, a policy group that advocates for a stable and constitutional monetary system. At a time of entrenched and continuing inflation, the Sound Money Defense League reminds us that inflation is not just “a hidden tax—and one with no vote, no debate, and no transparency”—it attacks freedom as well as the wallet.
Luschas spoke with Catherine in a popular May 2025 interview about “Turtling for Cash,” describing her efforts and successes as a warrior for cash in South Dakota. She has also participated in two prior Solari briefings focused on keeping cash in circulation (June 2025) and model gold legislation (March 2025).
