Several months ago I attended the important Medical Marijuana Debate between Bob Barr and Ethan Nadelmann at Fordham University in Manhattan, New York City. Mr. Barr, the former Republican Congressman, recently joined the Libertarian Party as one of our elected LP Regional Representatives, and Mr. Nadelmann is Executive Director of the Drug Policy Alliance. In recognition for making the long trip to New York and addressing the important issue of reforming our repressive and ineffective drug laws, I presented Mr. Barr, Mr. Nadelmann and the debate moderator each with a genuine Liberty Dollar silver piece on behalf of Liberty Dollar of America.
I received the following handwritten note from Mr. Barr on his beautiful gold-embossed Congressional alumni letterhead: "February 16th Dear Nicolas - Forgive my tardiness, please, for the tardiness of this thank you note for the Liberty Dollar you gave me last month following my speech at Fordham (actually, I guess it was a "debate"). The coin [sic] is displayed in my office. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and your commitment to Liberty. All the best - Bob" (Note: Liberty Dollar silver pieces are not coins, only government rounds are "coins") Thank you to Bob Barr for proudly displaying his Liberty Dollar piece, and for recognizing the commitment to Liberty and traditional American constitutional republican values which Liberty Dollar Associates, Customers, Merchants and RCO's live by every day. I haven't heard from Ethan Nadelmann of the Drug Policy Alliance yet regarding his new Liberty Dollar. I hope Mr. Nadelmann will consider the valuable contribution that a private free-market gold and silver-backed alternative currency like the Liberty Dollar can make to returning our country to limited government, which would finally promote a sensible criminal justice policy and protect individual human rights, medical rights, privacy rights and self-ownership.

Is there anyone who would suggest that means only registered voters have a right to read?" --Georgetown University professor Robert Levy "Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. And armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended. Its influence in doling out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war...and in the degeneracy of manners and morals, engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." --James Madison, April 20, 1795 "With a large population, by far the most powerful military, and an extremely favorable geographic position, if there was ever a country in a position to stay out of foreign conflict simply by minding its own business, it's America." --Steven M.

"Government, like fire, is a DANGEROUS SERVANT and a FEARFUL MASTER." -Our Founding Fathers "One of the three greatest lies ever told is, 'Hi, we're from the government, and we want to help you.'" --Ronald Reagan "Democracy is what you get when two wolves and a sheep sit down to vote on what to have for dinner." --Claire Wolf "'Necessity' is the plea of every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants, it is the creed of slaves." --William Pitt, 1783 "A nation of sheep breeds a government of wolves." "To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men." --Abraham Lincoln "Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Everyone's not entitled to their own facts, however." --Daniel Patrick Moynihan "The solution that most people put forward to rectify the failure of government is more government. In government, nothing succeeds like failure." --Gary Popkin "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time." --Abraham Lincoln "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to step back and reflect." --Mark Twain "Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty." --Thomas Jefferson "It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from his government." --Thomas Paine "If the Press defended Americans' rights as aggressively as it protects its own rights, it might actually fulfill its original purpose under the First Amendment. Unfortunately, journalists and publishers are very confused, they think they are some kind of privileged elite, without any responsibilities or moral obligation to anyone but themselves." "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." --Thomas Jefferson ".It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." --Samuel Adams, organizer of the Boston Tea Party "Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people. Let us dare to read, think, speak and write." --John Adams, August, 1765 "Just because you're not interested in politics, doesn't mean politics is not interested in you." "Anyone who believes there's any difference between the Republicans and the Democrats probably has a serious mental disorder." "It's pretty easy to tell who's a friend of the American people and who's an enemy; Anyone who works for the government, local, state, federal, U.N. or foreign, or supports them, is The Enemy; and anyone who recognizes that governments are the ultimate danger and threat to our American Way of Life, and Liberty, is a Friend." "I swore never to be silent whenever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Remaining neutral helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." "You can always tell you are being effective when The Crooks start to attack you publicly, personally, and legally. Like Gandhi said, 'First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win.'" --Mika in NY "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." --Margaret Mead WIN AT LIFE Powered by Microsoft "You CANNOT be serious!" "...Ignore your rights, and they'll go away.."

There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."-Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Japanese Imperial Navy * * * ".Russian generals concluded that an invasion of the mainland United States would be impossible...most Americans owned guns or had easy access to them, were skilled and practiced with firearms, so the ensuing mass insurgency would doom Red Army forces to enormous casualties.." * * * Switzerland has never been invaded in its 500+ year history. One of the keys to Swiss national independence has been its tradition of citizen gun ownership. To this day, every Swiss head of household keeps a fully automatic (machine gun fire-capable) homeland defense rifle in their home, battle-ready for use. No one including Hitler has ever been stupid or brave enough to try an invasion of Switzerland. Switzerland has almost no crime. And Switzerland has remained a free, peaceful, libertarian country where individual liberty, property rights and privacy are secure. * * * In the United States, communities with high rates of citizen gun ownership and concealed carrying are safer places to live. The criminals don't know if their next victim might pull out a gun, and the police and politicians know they can't push around an armed citizenry, so it keeps government honest (is that why most politicians love gun control?). Even the people who choose not to own and carry guns are safer, because their armed neighbors act as human vaccines against crime, terrorism and tyranny. * * * Most American public schools used to have shooting ranges in the basements. Teenagers in New York used to carry their rifles home on the buses and subways. In the old school buildings you can still find many of the shooting ranges which have been boarded up. What if we went in to poor minority neighborhoods today and gave young minority kids free handgun and rifle shooting clinics? Do you think they might feel more self-empowered and self-sufficient? Do you think it might be a valuable learning experience for them and boost their self-esteem? Why has America abandoned its ethic of mutual trust, self-reliance and personal responsibility? Please ask your summer camp directors, day camp counselors and your local school boards and principals whether they offer rifle and marksmanship courses, or whether they could introduce rifle and pistol classes. Ask your pre-school and kindergarten principals if they use the NRA's Eddie the Eagle gun safety materials to teach children to "Stop. Don't Touch. Get an Adult." if they find a gun. The key to a strong America is restoring Liberty and Individual Rights, and promoting knowledge with responsibility, education with integrity, and free intellectual inquiry. Will your family and loved ones be safe, secure, and protected in the approaching storms, like every Swiss household is? "Help do your part, buy a rifle today." (If you can't buy a gun "legally", then buy one "illegally". [There is no such thing as an "illegal" gun. ALL guns are legal, because the 2nd Amendment says so, and because ".All laws repugnant to the Constitution are null and void."(--Supreme Court of the United States), and because Gun Ownership and Concealed Carry for Self-Defense is a Fundamental Human Right.]) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Take a moment today to appreciate the beauty of a pretty girl, a flower arrangement, a beautiful song, a work of art that you like.
