Yes it would
  But would an ever fluctuating global demand and supply for gold 
outside our control make for an independent monetary policy?
Ron Paul has backed off on a gold standard preferring a "basket" of 
commodities of which gold is one.
Wouldn't  limiting the scope and authority of the Fed be a necessary 
first step in any public policy decision?

Seems to me it's independence is only from the interests of the taxpayers whose spending power it is debasing to prop up the interests of a few.

It's time to put that to an end.  At Nullify Now! Jacksonville, we'll share with you a new plan gaining momentum around the country to End the Fed from the bottom up.  Through Thomas Jefferson's principle of Nullification, your state CAN and MUST put a stop to this...

The Constitution does not give Congress the authority to delegate control over monetary policy to a central bank. Furthermore, the Constitution certainly does not empower the federal government to erode the American standard of living via an inflationary monetary policy.

Upon going into effect, the Constitutional Tender Act introduces currency competition with Federal Reserve Notes, by outlawing their use in transactions with the State. Ordinary citizens of the State, being required to pay their State taxes in gold and silver coins, would find it necessary to open bank accounts in those denominations.
