June 2009 Vol. 11 No. 06-A </font>
<p>Urgent News for All Liberty Dollar Supporters! </p>
<p><b><font size="+1">FBI Arrests Bernard, Kevin, Sarah & Rachelle </font><br>
The battle for a value based currency has began!</b></p>
<p>The last two days have been amazing! Just shortly after midnight on Tuesday,
the phone started ringing and I let the answering machine take the call. But
very soon there was another call… with an even more urgent message! Very
quickly, a friend of Kevin Innes, explained to me that Kevin had been "detained"
by the local sheriff and was being held for the FBI to arrest him! Holy Cow!!
The #2 supporter for the Liberty Dollar and co-instructor at the Liberty Dollar
University training sessions was in deep trouble with the Feds! I was sure to
be next. But would they arrive in a few minutes or would it be a pre-dawn Nazi
style assault? </p>
<p>Finally, I got up at 4:00 AM. I was very concerned for Kevin and wondered when
the FBI would hit me. Fortunately the morning was quickly filled with a flurry
of calls from Kevin's friend, other interested parties, the usual business calls
and making preparations for the inevitable knock on the door. But nobody came.
Then just after noon, Niles, who's wife, Rachelle, manages the Liberty Dollar
Fulfillment Office, called to tell me that Rachelle had been picked up by the
FBI at the LD Office and was due to be arraigned in just a few hours! The FBI
strikes again!</p>
<p>Luckily, I was able to talk to Rachelle via her cell phone while the FBI was
holding her. I was pleased that the FBI agents were the friendly professional
types and afforded Rachelle and I quite a few minutes of private conversation.
Under the circumstances, Rachelle's demeanor and resolve was right on target.
And very quickly, I learned that a warrant had been issued for my arrest. And
just a quickly, Rachelle was off to court to be arraigned. </p>
<p>Much later in the afternoon, I learned to my surprise that three big FBI agents
had arrested Sarah at work. She and Rachelle were arraigned together and quickly
released to on their own recognizance (OR) before the sun set on a very eventful
day for the Liberty Dollar. The quick, professional effort with Sarah and Rachelle
were gratifying and encouraging. Unfortunately, I was to learn that Sarah lost
her job because of this event. </p>
<p>By last afternoon it was clear that the Liberty Dollar would be best served
by my turning myself in to the to the US Marshals, otherwise know as 'self reporting.'
After a few calls, I found myself talking to Agent Andy (aka Agent F) who was
his usual friendly, chatty self. He even recognized my voice although we had
only spoken twice and that was over 18 months ago. Sure enough he confirmed
that a federal arrest warrant for my arrest had been issued. And after a bit
of gamesmanship with Agent Andy, I agreed to report to the US Marshal's office
in Fort Myers, Florida at 9:00 AM on Thursday morning as it was too late to
be arraigned, plus an overnight in jail would have wrinkled by clothes :)</p>
<p>The following morning, Thursday, June 3, 2009, I actually arrived at the Marshal's
office at 8:30 due to light traffic. As the saying goes, "If you gotta
do time, do federal time." Quite simply, the federal boys are better educated,
better trained and have better manners. I was immediately escorted to a holding
cell. After an hour or less, I met with the Pre-Trila Service rep and made it
to court at 11:00 in chains and handcuffs. The female judge was businesslike
and granted my request to attend my son's graduation in Physics from UCLA next
week. After fingerprinting, signing a $50,000 Appearance Bond, one final meeting
with the Pre-Indictment Service rep, I was free. </p>
<p>In general, the arraignment was a pleasant affair. The US Marshals did their
job with very little attitude, as they should. After all, I am self reporting,
and it is for anything violent, I just want to prove that I have a right to
issue my own currency and if any body chooses to use it then it is a "private
contract." It is certainly not a crime.</p>
<p><b>And so it came to pass,</b> 2009 years after the birth of Christ, that four
regular Americans have taken a stand to defend the People's right to protect
themselves from a government currency that has a long and unforgiving history
of stealing the people's purchasing power. This is a test of individual rights,
as protected by the Tenth Amendment. It is the deciding moment that a private
voluntary barter currency (PVBC) is legal in the great United States of America.
This is a test that the Liberty Dollar must and will pass, for that I have no
doubt. But it will not be easy or cheap. Please, if you support our efforts,
support us with any kind of money you have, including pro bono services. Now
that the Liberty Dollar faces a federal criminal trial, it is the <b>US Government
v Liberty Dollar</b> ala Bernard, Kevin, Sarah & Rachelle. Please help us
win. Please help yourself win. Please help American win. </p>
<p>Very simply this is a Win or Lose battle. In addition to money for this legal
fight we need articles that reference non-government currency, such as Air Miles
as currency, legal research assistance, expert witnesses, legal assistance,
etc. If you support the ideals of the Liberty Dollar, this is the time to get
behind the Liberty Dollar. We critically need your help! Please send your digital
info to <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:Legal@LibertyDollar.org" target="_blank" href="/mc/compose?to=Legal@LibertyDollar.org">Legal@LibertyDollar.org</a>
and your donations of value including other kinds of "currencies"
to: <br>
LIBERTY DOLLAR<br>
225 N. Stockwell Road<br>
Evansville. Indiana. 47715</p>
<p><b>The best news</b> is that the Liberty Dollar finally has the opportunity
to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is legal. Over two years ago I sued
the US government for a Declaratory Judgment to resolve the legality issue.
And how did they respond, they raided the Liberty Dollar and confiscated over
$4 million dollars in gold, silver and cash. The US government has done everything
possible to kill the Liberty Dollar! And guess what? It has not worked. The
mere fact that the Liberty Dollar is still in business is a testament to your
demand for Real Money and the ideals that the Liberty Dollar represents. </p>
<p>Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support! Trust me, the Liberty Dollar
is not made up of any fat cats. We are all just regular Americans. And we all
just want good money, a lot less government and no damn war!</p>

FOR BUSINESS</b>. Please visit our shopping cart for all the 2009 Liberty, Peace,

power. Now is the time to protect your purchasing with the "inflation proof"
currency and help usher in a new monetary model that provides the only proven,

</p>
<p><b>OUTSTANDING ORDERS:</b> Please rest assured that we will fill all outstanding
orders. Yes, after producing a sizable amount of pre-minted Silver Libertys
and finally getting current with most orders, we changed mints and are now behind
again. We apologize emphatically! Poor and/or slow delivery is not acceptable
business. It hurts everyone. And just when we were about to get current again
we were arrested. Please continue to support us with your patience too. We promise
to get every order out ASAP. But as I hope you can understand, it is a struggle
to run a business, any business, in such an environment and fight a major legal
battle for our right to protect our purchasing power</p>
<p><b>The last few <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.silverlibertymarketing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=343">2009
Arrest Dollars</a></b>. Are you familiar with the Arrest Dollars? Starting in
2007 and continuing through this year the Arrest Dollar is one ounce Silver
Liberty that is specially hand hallmarked with a micro "handcuffs"
stamp and my federally registered mintmark. Issued only from the day of the
raid to today. The last few 2009 Arrest Dollars are currently on the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.silverlibertymarketing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=343">Shopping
Cart</a>. After these are gone, they are gone to eBay for much more money. </p>
<p><b>The <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.silverlibertymarketing.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=79">2009
Tea Party Dollar</a></b> (T-Dollar) is still available and we are still waiting
confirmation on the shipment. We are still expecting to have the first batch
order in the first 24 HOURS here for the July 4 events. The T-Dollar is still
only a buck for an ounce of copper AND you can still get them for 10% discount
to they $1 face value for a 100 or more. Hey, they are only a buck… you
can't go wrong. Plus every copper issue has sold out. Get these while you can
and help support our legal efforts tooJ </p>
<p><b>The <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.silverlibertymarketing.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=77">2009
Silver Libertys</a>!</b> The backbone of the Liberty Dollar model is the one
ounce .999 fine silver Lib! Just in the last few days, silver has bounced back
over $16, soon the 30 day moving average will be $16 and the Liberty Dollar
will Move Up again to the $50 Silver Base. PLEASE don't be dumb and buy silver
when it is high. Get it NOW!!! Sure it is not $5 per ounce any more, nor will
it ever be again. $5 silver is just not possible with the government spending
phony baloney fiat money like a drunken sailor. Please order silver now and
protect your purchasing power and profit tomorrow! </p>
<p>Stay tuned to the Liberty Dollar News as we vindicate and validate the legality
of the Liberty Dollar. Please take an active role in this exciting and profitable
time. Don't lose out. Get involved with the Liberty Dollar to make money, do
good and have fun. I am having as much fun in my 60's and I did in The 60's
and hope you are too. </p>
<p>Thanks again for your support. </p>
