1. Late Newsletter
My apology for this very late Newsletter. Over the past 12 years, the monthly newsletter has chronicled the Liberty Dollar's quest to return America to a value based currency. It continues to do so, even in these embattered times. Please note below all the developments and the sad state of what now passes for our legal system.

2. Relocation to Hawaii
I am pleased to report that it is now 3:00 AM in Hawaii and as ordered by the US District Court I have relocated my domicile to Hawaii. While my motion to move to Hawaii sailed through the legal system, the move has not been easy as I was unaware of how much "stuff" I had accumulated while on the Mainland. I am happy to be back "home" and looking forward to resolving the Liberty Dollar issues, having all your seized property returned and moving forward.

3. Google's Motley Fool calls for a "Liberty Dollar!"
The Motley Fool, certainly one of the hottest, hippest and one of the most read investor advisors on Google recently posted an article calling for a Liberty Dollar "that is backed by gold." And if my memory serves me correctly, one of the Fool's father is a former Federal Reserve official. Click HERE for the short article.

4. $500 Gold Second Amendment Dollar
I am pleased to announce that the good people at BudsGunShop.com have introduced a Gold Second Amendment Dollar aka Gun Dollar, to accompany their previously announced 2010 Silver Gun Dollar.

Gold Second Amendment Dollar

With respect to the Second Amendment, the new 2010 Gold Gun Dollar is proof-like minted and beautifully packaged in a custom box with a Certificate of Authenticity. Each Gold Gun Dollar contains one-quarter ounce of .9999 fine gold with a MSRP of $500. These peices are currenlty being sold for $425.00.

For more info on the 2010 Gold & Silver Gun Dollars and to get one of these legendary Second Amendment issues, please visit www.BudsGunShop.com. And don't forget the specially hallmarked and numbered collector issues. They are specifically designed to appreciate in collector value even more than the regular Brilliant Uncirculated Gun Dollar. I am sure you will not be disappointed in the fine craftsmanship of these two special issues that commemorate our cherished Second Amendment.

NOTICE: The Second Amendment Dollar is not intended to be used as United States currency and any representation as such is strictly prohibited by law. Please note that I am not involved in the production, distribution or marketing of this issue.

5. My Two Days at the FBI Headquarters
April 5 & 6, Charlotte North Carolina: WOW! I wish you could have been there. After months of pushing Deke Falls, my do nothing "defense attorney," I finally had the opportunity to review the paper files that were confiscated at the office in Evansville Indiana. Please note this did NOT include any of the digital files on the half dozen computers and servers that were also taken in the raid on the Liberty Dollar. And while, I was able to very quickly review the files there was no way to review all the material IN the 50 plus large files boxes. Special FBI Agent Romagnuolo waited on me hand a foot for two full days because I was not allowed to touch anything until they were officially opened by the FBI. Due to the limited time, I was only able to make a small dent into analyzing the vast amount of info in paper files and not even a moment for the digital files. In total there is something like 1.8 million docs for defense to review. Amazingly, I was lucky to select an unnamed file and find some of the most interesting info. There is no doubt that the files will play a major role in our defense. So, I spent two whole days with Romanuolo and his sidekick Deke Falls, my supposed "defense attorney" but never said a single word to Romagnuolo. Just as I hoped it would be.

But I did share a few words with Falls. When we had finished the second day and returned to the parking lot at this office I told Falls, "Now I don't know if you are dumb as nails or just a front for the DOJ and quite frankly I don't give a damn, you're fired." I then promptly handed him the dismissal letter and drove off.

Then on May 3, I was back in Charlotte for court that was supposed to be for the trial of the Liberty Dollar Four. Of course, since Falls had not done any defense work, any trial was out of the question so the court focused on my dismissal of Falls and postponed the trial until July 6. But don't hold your breath for that date, as a new attorney must be found to represent me, plus he is going to have to get up to speed for an acknowledged 'difficult and complex case.' according to the judge.

6. Two Timely articles from GATA and Newsmax
1. GATA.org announced that GoldMoney founder and Free Gold Money Report (FGMR) editor James Turk, wrote that the U.S. dollar has reached its "Havenstein moment," the point in time memorialized by the decision of the president of Weimar Germany's Reichsbank to print as much money as necessary to allow the population to keep up with rising prices. Turk's commentary is headlined "Hyperinflation Looms - The Dollar Arrives at Its 'Havenstein Moment'." Click HERE for Turks outstanding article on FGMR.

2. The Financial Times reveals that the Congressional Budget Office projects that U.S. Debt will hit $20 Trillion in 10 Years, cumulative US deficits will reach $9.7 trillion and federal debt 90 percent of gross domestic product - nearly equal to Italy's. Click HERE for that article.

7. Cabool Dollar Merchant Directly
As we reported last month, Joshua Deathridge has issued the Cabool Dollar for the greater good of central Missouri. The article referenced the Merchant Directory that was complete with advertising and info on all the merchants who use the Cabool Dollar. Unfortunately the link in the March issue of the LDN did not work. Please click HERE for an example of Joshua's fine work. He is doing a lot more than talking about making changes. He is doing it! Congratulations Joshua on your fine efforts to aid the economic system in central Missouri.

8. Tenth Amendment and the Liberty Dollar
It doesn't seem like a day goes by without another state declaring its sovereignty in one way or another. As reported by BeforeItIsNews.com:

New York State Senator Michael Nozzolio (R-54th District) has drafted and introduced J4716, a resolution to "Re-Establish New York State's Sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment." See http://open.nysenate.gov/legislation/bill/J4716

According to the introductory text this Legislative Resolution, affirms, "the sovereignty of the of the people of the State of New York pursuant to the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States." The resolution continues by requesting, "Congress cease and desist from enacting mandates that are beyond the scope of the enumerated powers granted to Congress by the Constitution of the United States." The legislation also seeks to establish a joint committee on the constitutionality of acts, orders, laws, statutes, regulations and rules of the government of the United States of America in order to protect state sovereignty."

This introduced legislation resides in the Senate's Finance Committee where it was referred on Friday, April 16, 2010. Current co-sponsors include Senators Larkin, Maziarz, Seward, Farley, Johnson O, Ranzenhofer, Winner, Alesi, Lanza, Morahan and Young.

In his remarks accompanying the legislation, Nozzolio reminds his fellow Senators, "For the last fourteen months, the U.S. Congress and the President have tried everything they could to consolidate total power in the federal government." Apparently, Albany is beginning to understand that "We the People" have become increasingly frustrated and concerned since January 21, 2009. The Senator also displays his recognition that the healthcare legislation is only the latest in a long list of federal actions that are in direct violation of the constitutionally enumerated and limited powers granted the federal government by the states and the people.

While this may not mark the end of the battle for the protection of state and individual rights, it may fire a warning shot across the bow of the federal ship of state to let Congress and the President know that the patriots slogan of "Don't Tread On Me" is alive and well in the State of New York.

People are urged to call, write, fax, email and visit their elected state representatives and demand that they support this (J4716) and Seward's S7374 legislation to protect their rights and limit the power of the federal government.

One of these days a destitute state is going to realize that they do not have to be the whipping child of the federal government and take matters into their own hands. Just as the federal government has turned over the monetary powers to a private organization, aka the Federal Reserve, a state can enter into such a relationship with a private party and save their economic ass and everybody who lives in that state with the State Monetary Initiative proposed by the Liberty Dollar.

9. Sick Legal Update
Last month I reported, the "Ugly truth" as the government tried "every dirty trick to force Kevin to accept a plea bargain." That was incorrect. The really sick, dirty truth is that Kevin's own court appointed "legal counsel" is doing the devil's work by pushing Kevin really hard to accept a plea!!! Of course, this makes sense because the DOJ is barred from contacting Kevin without his attorney present. So, Ms. Claire Rauscher, his own "legal" counsel, who is supposed to be defending him, is acting as nothing more than a front for the DOJ and worthy of the "Federal Pretender" moniker... if not in more expressive words. BTW, another unique strength of Kevin, is that he never cusses.

But that does not mean you shouldn't, can't or that I am urging you to do anything outside of your own good conscience. But it is high time for somebody to tell Kevin's "Federal Pretender" to start working for Kevin's defense or go to hell! It's been almost a year... and Ms. Rauscher, his "Federal Pretender," has done NOTHING but try her best to coop him into the hands of the DOJ. This thick headed ***** does not seem to understand that the more she pushes, the more resistance she creates. Plus misrepresenting her client's interest is unethical and actionable after the Liberty Dollar Four wins.

So if you have a dog in this fight, if the government confiscated some of your property or if you are just half as pissed-off as I am, please express yourself directly to Ms. Rauscher that you want her to win the case for the defendants NOT the DOJ. And remember to be as polite as possible, or as strong as you feel about the government, its dirty tricks, its action against the Liberty Dollar and/or your own property.

Please send your comments to:
Ms. Claire Rauscher
Federal Defenders Office
129 West Trade St.
Suite 300
Charlotte NC 28202

BTW: The mission of the Federal Defenders of Western North Carolina, Inc. is to provide high quality representation to indigent defendants. In achieving this mission, this program will endeavor to: (1) provide the highest quality of legal representation; (2) advance the effectiveness of the legal system through excellence in legal scholarship and through ongoing education and training of the criminal defense bar and the community; (3) foster and promote high standards and ideals engendered by the Bill of Rights and the Criminal Justice Act; and (4) see that justice is administered on a fair and equal basis.

OH... So you don't think telling the government's paid Federal Pretender where to go is worth 44 cents? No problem, just email her: Claire_Rauscher@fd.org and BCC me Bernard@LibertyDollar.org. And remember to keep your comments as friendly and positive as possible... as they are trackable...

But it is not just Kevin's Federal Pretender who is lying and trying her best to coop him into the hands of the DOJ! Sarah Bledsoe and Rachelle Moseley's Pretenders have been caught lying while they tried to play one defendant against the other to no avail. And this BS passes as a legal system? And while it may be "legal," well as legal as in "legal tender," it is certainly not honorable! The criminal legal system and its "attorneys" are just a pack of liars ******** and that is being kind as I struggle not to cuss as Kevin doesn't!

As reported above, I fired my lying, do nothing, BS attorney, Deke Falls. And while Falls could not use the same intimidating tactics on me as Rauscher uses on Kevin as he sits in jail, Falls never would discuss a defense strategy, constantly argued on behalf of the DOJ and at one point he even said I was guilty! Really great POS defense attorney, eh?!

Meanwhile, the jail is now limiting books that can be sent to Kevin, plus they can't be hardcover, etc... So if you wish to support Kevin, it is better to send money to his wife who has opened a bank account for Kevin and she will keep him supplied with his favorite books and money for food to support his vegetarian diet.

Please send your 44 cents or whatever you wish to:
Julia Gaunt
16 Norman Austin Dr.
Asheville, NC 28804

I know Kevin greatly appreciates everything you send as he now faces his first anniversary in jail for trying to save the US monetary system with the Liberty Dollar.

Please continue to cheer him on via a letter to:
William K. Innes
2351 Morganton Blvd. SW
Lenoir, NC 28645

Closing Remarks:
During these long days, weeks and months of pushing the Liberty Dollar Four case to be heard, your continued support is greatly appreciated. For it is only by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency that provides us with "just weights and measures" will we be able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary/tax system and generate a peaceful and prosperous society.

Thanks for all your efforts to return America to value - one Liberty Dollar at a time!
