So that some people would not get confused would it be a good idea to redesign the sliver Liberty Dollar? Ralph Borsodi called his 1 ounce sliver piece a Globe so it was a lot less likely to be confused with a US Mint Sliver Dollar. His paper note was called the Constant which was backed by a basket of commodities including sliver. From what I understand the Constant could be turned in for A globe as well and the Globe for a Constant. I don't think there was any numerical value stampted into the sliver piece. I guess its a good idea to call it a dollar because of the educational and historical background and certainly Liberty Dollar can't be responsible for someone passing off the sliver piece for 20 Federal Reserve Notes without first educating the trading partner.--- In [email protected], "Nicolas Leobold" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Get the Liberty Dollar > Unjustly Defamed by the US Mint? > > > > Make no doubt about it.

In fact they are doing everything to scare you into thinking it is illegal. They want you to continue to be impoverished slaves to their debt ridden, inflation prone and government promissory notes. Do not continue to be deceived. America is still great and will remain so only with sound money like the gold and silver based Liberty Dollar. > > > > So which would you prefer a currency that depreciates or a currency that appreciates in value? The US Dollar has a long history (92 years) of depreciation while gold and silver monies have a much longer history (5,000 years) of appreciation and providing price stability. > > > > The US Mint would have you believe that the Liberty Dollar is illegal and on Thursday, September 14 issued a warning that it was a "Federal crime" to "utter" the Liberty Dollar. Sighting 18 USC code 486 they tried to convince debt weary Americans that it was a crime to protect their purchasing power by using the Liberty Dollar as voluntary barter. > > > > On September 27, Marion Edwyn Harrison, Chief Counsel for the NORFED Inc. which distributes the Liberty Dollar asked Mr. Daniel P.

This is in stark contrast to the US Mint, Department of the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve's previous acknowledgements over the past eight years that the Liberty Dollar is legal. In fact, just two years ago, Andrew Williams, spokesman for the Federal Reserve Board in Washington DC said: "There is no law that says goods and services must be paid for with Federal Reserve notes. Parties entering into a transaction can establish any medium of exchange that is agreed upon." This is further supported by the US Constitution guarantee of "right to contract" and the resumption of the "gold clause" that permits the legal use of gold as payment. > > > > As the US Mint is unable to support its false claim, let along its own debt based money, it is no wonder that Americans are drawn to the Liberty Dollar, which is already America's second most popular currency. Its use of a "fear campaign" has back-fired and driven government weary Americans to seek an alternative. Mike Johnson, the Executive Director of the Liberty Dollar reports that traffic to their web site is up TEN FOLD. And the volume of "currency exchanges" from the dreaded depreciating US Dollar to value based appreciating Liberty Dollar is up FIVE FOLD. Plus many of the orders contain poignant notes like: "US Mint can bit me! Send me the Liberty Dollar!" > > > > In a day and age when "consenting adults" can do... and will do...what they want, don't we have a right to use gold and silver between "consenting adults"? And doesn't the US Constitution guarantee this? Of course it does. We choose therefore we are free. > > > > This is truly a Decisive Moment in our country's history. Don't let the government steal any more of your hard earned money by deception, inflation, or false claims. Americans are finally discovering the truth about their money and when presented with the facts, are voting with their pocket book. The Liberty Dollar stands at the ready Our network of Regional Currency Offices with locations across America will exchange your Federal Reserve notes for gold and silver backed Liberty Dollars.

Of course, I know not what you will choose, but as for me, give me Liberty (dollars) or give me death!" > > > > > > > > > > > > WE NEED YOUR HELP IN MOBILIZING CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY!! > > > > NORFED, since the day the US Mint posted its allegations, has attempted to contact relevant individuals within the United States Department of The Treasury, the United States Mint, and the Secret Service through our Counsel in Washington D.C. to no avail No returned calls, letters, etc. > > > > We believe the most effective course of action at this time is to put pressure on the respective Federal agencies through political channels United States Congressional Representatives.
