On Monday, Congressman Paul appeared on CNBC to respond to critics of Audit the Fed and to discuss the true causes of the economic crisis, the failure of the Fed to keep the dollar stable, and the need to know who is receiving our money.

As many of you know I am a local coordinator for the Campaign For Liberty. I am excited to tell you about a Virginia grass roots lobbying effort to challenge the power of the Federal Government in two important areas; Health Care and Gun Control. Please join me in supporting this effort.
Donna Holt, Interim State Coordinator - Campaign For Liberty, announced the effort as follows.
“The Virginia Campaign for Liberty will be mobilizing on two very important pieces of legislation in the 2010 session of the Virginia General Assembly. Both are state’s rights issues that pose a challenge to the federal government under the 10th amendment.
The Virginia Firearms Freedom Act - See full text of the bill here.
The Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act - See full text of the bill here.
In the upcoming weeks leading up to the legislative session, we will be forming a committee of people to assist in our lobbying effort for legislators to sponsor the bills. If you wish to volunteer to join the committee, please email me at donna.holt@campaignforliberty.com.”
Please contact our representatives in Richmond and urge them to support these bills! Also, I again invite you to join Campaign for Liberty!

We will assemble this Saturday (11/07) from 2:00-4:00 p.m. to drive home the message of this week’s election - we don’t want no stinkin’ government health care!
We will meet at the intersection of Hershberger Road and I-581, near Valley View. Our meeting place is the site of the old Celebration Station on Hershberger, and we’ll line Hershberger as far as our numbers allow.
See the areas in red on the map below:
The weather should be glorious - a wonderful day to be outside and celebrate your liberty.
If you can’t be there the whole time, please swing by and stay for as long as you can - even if it’s only for a few minutes. Perhaps you have errands or shopping up that way, and will take a stand with us on Saturday afternoon.
Here are a few very important things to keep in mind:
* Stay in the grassy areas along the side of the road.
* Stay out of the road - do not impede traffic in any way.
* Bring signs about health care reforms - and be positive as well as negative.
* This is not about the President - we are trying to influence our Senators.
* Remind them of the results of Tuesday’s vote!
Tell your friends… bring a neighbor… take a stand. We depend on your participation to make this work!
Let us work together to stop ………

by John Browne, Senior Market Strategist, Euro Pacific Capital Productive, private-sector jobs – the lifeblood of a sound economy – are under assault by politicians in the United States and Western Europe, who have unwittingly taken a number of steps that make future job losses a foregone conclusion. In the 1980s, as a Member of the UK [...]
Congress wants to establish a Consumer Financial Protection Agency (CFPA) that will regulate everything from credit cards to mortgages. House Democrats want the CFPA to be an independent agency, but Republicans are opposed. As a result, Senators Chris Dodd and Bob Corker are thinking of making it an arm of . . . the Federal [...]
As many Liberty Maven readers are aware we endorsed Rand Paul last summer following our interview with him. At the time he was behind in the polls by 11% points in the Kentucky GOP primary. On Sunday the latest poll shows him leading his Republican opponent Trey Grayson by 15% points. This is uncomfortable territory for [...]
Yes, Ron Paul won the CPAC straw poll and delivered a good speech. Glenn Beck delivered a great speech too, but for my money it was a Judge Andrew Napolitano speech that was the best of CPAC 2010. As I sat in the audience following Judge Andrew Napolitano’s speech during the Liberty Forum at CPAC 2010 [...]
Ron Paul used his five minutes during yesterday’s markup of a bill to recognize the Armenian Genocide of 1915 to showcase his foreign policy philosophy of neutrality and non-intervention. Paul shines when he has more than a couple minutes to represent his position, especially on foreign policy. He makes a point to emphasize his philosophy is [...]
The polls are clear. Most Americans hate the Democrats’ healthcare plan. But Obama and Pelosi don’t care what you think. They want to use an obscure process called reconciliation to bypass the need for a super-majority in the Senate. This foolish move may cost the Democrats their majority control of Congress, [...]
Ron Paul was Bob Schieffer’s guest for Washington Unplugged on CBSNews.com the other day to discuss his landslide victory on Tuesday and other topics. Paul even takes an opportunity to mimic Bernanke’s “bizarre” answer to his question during testimony last week.
by John Browne – Senior Market Strategist, Euro Pacific Capital The bad news for Greece is that despite some help from abroad, and some attempts at internal reform, investors are still leery of the troubled state. The good news, if you can call it that, is that they will soon have company in [...]
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer wants to raise your taxes. Send your Representative and your two Senators a letter rejecting this idea. You can copy or borrow from my letter . . . Here’s what Steny Hoyer said at the Brookings Institution on Monday, March 1: “No one likes raising revenue (increasing [...]
The wave of “Tea Party” activism and renewed interest in the Constitution in the wake of the 2008 elections has mostly been fueled by a rightfully-deserved fear of the tyranny and reckless disregard for the rule of law that the current administration has displayed. Quite often, however, the Constitution is lost on many when the topic of discussion turn […]

March 1, 2010 Dear Friend of Liberty, I've been in Austin, Texas the last few days to attend the Libertarian State Leadership Alliance conference.

Last Friday, 2008 Libertarian presidential nominee Bob Barr spoke at the CPAC conference in Washington, DC. According to several sources, the conservative crowd booed when he said that waterboarding is torture, and that civilian trials may be preferable to military tribunals. According to the Huffington Post: read more

We learned today that the new Republican senator from Massachusetts, Scott Brown, plans to vote with Democrats in favor of a big-government jobs bill. It's too bad Massachusetts voters missed the opportunity to elect Libertarian Joe Kennedy. read more
