Your right to use Gold & Silver is at risk.

HISTORIC NOTE: If you are visiting this page to support our Legal Defense
Fund and are familiar with the US Mint warning, please skip this Historic Note. On September 13. 2006 the US Mint issued a "Warning" that it was illegal to use the Liberty Dollar. Then on Tuesday, March 20. 2007 Liberty Services, the organization that promotes and distributes the Liberty Dollar, has filed suit against the U.S. Mint in U.S. District Court in Evansville Indiana to enjoin the government from claiming that the use of Liberty Dollar is a 'federal crime'. It is not a "federal crime" to voluntarily use a piece of silver between two consenting adults. For more background info please click HERE. To read Bernard's Second Law of Money, please click HERE.

Please let me be blunt, honest and to the point: We need your help, please.

We have never asked for a donation in over eight years. In fact we have refused to accept any donations. But now the time is different. Now the Liberty Dollar is under attack and we need your help. The very idea of a free market is at risk due to the US government's assault on our right to use anything of choice in the market place.

The US Mint would have us believe that it is illegal for Americans to exchange gold and silver (such as the Gold and Silver Eagles minted by the US Mint or any other gold and silver for that matter) on a voluntary basis between consenting adults. Just imagine that at a time when "consenting adults" can legally exchange "fluids" between themselves, the US Mint would have us believe that you and I can not trade gold and silver between ourselves. This is ridiculous and an assault on the concept of a free market.

Of course the US Mint allegation is not the law, in fact, it is a lie. For that reason, the Liberty Dollar has filed a federal lawsuit: Liberty Dollar v Henry M. Paulson, Secretary of the Treasury, Alberto Gonzales, Attorney General of the United States, Edmond C. Moy, Director, US Mint for a declaratory judgment.

Since the US Mint posted their warning, over six months ago, no further action has been taken. No arrests. No indictments. No investigation. Nothing. The warning has been purely a scare tactic. Unfortunately it has been very successful, until now. You will not be arrested for having, using, or helping the Liberty Dollar at this hour of need. Nobody is going to chase you down for a $20 Silver Liberty.

Trust me, this lawsuit is no small matter. Nor is the cost. Initially estimated at $100,000 - we simply have no idea what the actual total cost will be. But it is not cheap to sue the US government that makes their money out of thin air and pays their attorneys with your income tax dollars. You want to change things? Then help us change the money.

We estimate that over 100,000 people know and use the Liberty Dollar, so if everybody just donated a dollar, we would have a chance to pay for the lawsuit. But not everybody will send in even a dollar. Trust me, people are not very responsive. Most will not even read this far or have any idea as to what is happening to their money or liberties. We hope you are different. So I am asking you to please send $10 because I bet only 10% of the people will respond... if that many. Now accepting US dollars and Liberty Dollars in metal, paper or digital form. Please note links below for your donation.

And for you very few special dedicated people who are really concerned and send in a whopping $20, I promise to send you a very special commemorative Defense Fund Liberty of intrinsic value. In fact, I will send one of these special minted Defense Dollars for every $20 you send... after we win. This Defense Fund Liberty is only available to those who respond to this Legal Defense Fund request with a donation of $20 or more. This special Defense Fund Liberty will not be "sold". If you don't donate... you will not be able to get one. I really need your support, please.

Wait there is more. OK, so you are opposed to the Federal Reserve theft of your purchasing power... but you are equally opposed to donating... and you would rather buy something to help the cause. Great! Please click HERE to order a specially hallmarked one ounce $20 Silver Liberty for only $25 each plus S&H (while silver is under $15 spot). Each Defense Silver Liberty will feature two special hand stamped hallmarks with the "Scales of Justice" and my personal Mintmark. This issue is strictly limited to only those Defense Silver Libertys issued during this fund-raiser. They will not be available after we win... God help us all if we lose.

What about a Gold Defense Liberty? Well as it is really expensive to battle the almighty US government and all this still may not be enough to fund this Herculean effort and win, one of our best supporters has loaned 100 one ounce Gold Libertys to be specially hallmarked and auctioned on eBay. Yes I have to pay him back the 100 ounces of gold but anything over the spot price will be donated to the Legal Defense Fund. The first 20 have already been allocated and Number 021 has been placed on eBay. One specially hallmarked Gold Defense Liberty will be auction per week until we win or run out of Gold Defense Libertys. If you want to contribute and like gold, please bid on one of these most unique Gold Defense Libertys. Each one will be individually hand numbered 001 thru 100 and feature the same hallmarks with the Scales of Justice and my personal Mintmark as on the Silver Defense Liberty.

The Liberty Dollar v US government is an important case. The US Mint warning has had a chilling effect on the market. So we had no choice. We must win and establish our right to use gold and silver as we see fit confirmed by a Declaratory Judgment otherwise the government could move to outlaw gold and silver in other ways.

As Alan Greenspan said in 1966: "In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the "hidden" confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process."

Donations are accepted in Liberty Dollars: metal, paper or digital, even those dreaded Federal Reserve Notes that pass themselves off as US dollars are accepted, and credit cards. Please send in your good wishes, prayers, checks and US dollars or Liberty Dollars to: Liberty Dollar, 225 N. Stockwell Road, Evansville, Indiana, 47715. To donate or place your order for Silver Defense Libertys over the phone simply call: 888.LIB.DOLLAR (888.421.6181) with your bankcard.

Make no doubt about it. This is the decisive moment that will define your right to use gold and silver as you so chose or continue to be slaves to a monetary/tax system that will ultimately be the ruin of our country and the ideals for which it stands.

The free marketplace should decide what is money - not the government. Remember the government is the servant of the people. We are not servants of the government.

A free marketplace should have a free currency.

Thank you most sincerely for your support.
