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 ………

A few weeks ago, Ron Paul introduced one of the Downsize DC Agenda bills. Throughout 2009, DC Downsizers ALONE called for Congressman Paul to re-introduce the three “Honest Money” bills using our “End the Inflation Tax” campaign. We had specifically called for the Congressman not only to resubmit these highly important levers [. […]
Ron Paul participated in a short but quite good interview with Bankrate.com in its “Fame and Fortune” series. With one answer Paul sums up the health care debacle. Bankrate: What do you think of the health care reform package? Ron Paul: It’s a disaster! As a matter of fact, it was in the early ’70s when the [...]
by Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital and author of Crash Proof 2.0: How to Profit from the Economic Collapse With today’s unexpected decline in December payrolls, the cry for more job-related stimulus will grow even louder. But the sad truth is that any new stimulus or jobs bills will ultimately swell the ranks of [...]
What do the Federal Reserve and the Democrats’ health care reform proposals have in common? No, it’s not the start of a bad joke nor a rhetorical question. It’s all about the role of government. Some question whether or not the Federal Reserve is a government entity. I don’t. It has government written all over it. [...]
by John Browne – Senior Market Strategist, Euro Pacific Capital President Obama’s State of the Union message only serves to reinforce my forecast that investors will continue to find better returns in markets outside America and in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Indeed, the reward gap may well increase. Nothing in the [...]
A rather long piece on Ron Paul’s family with a focus on his son Rand’s Kentucky senatorial bid is in the Washington Post today. It’s a fairly positive article for the most part, although I do detect some potential sarcastic undertones. Mostly I’m confused why it is running in the “Style” section? Then again, I suppose [.. […]
On Monday, President Obama proposed a federal budget for 2011. It features record-setting spending and borrowing. We believe it will do more harm than good. Please tell Congress to oppose this budget and work to cut federal spending. You may copy or borrow from the following letter . . . I demand [...]
“Economics consists of looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups… The economic goal of any nation, as of any individual, is to get the greatest results with the [...]
The Virginia State Senate voted today 23-17 to add a provision to the Virginia State Code that would exempt Virginians from being forced by the federal government to participate in any health care plan. Furthermore, the provision exempts Virginians from having to pay a fine or fee for not participating. The text of the legislation sponsored [...]
February 8, 2010 Dear Friend of Liberty, Last week we offered a great deal on bumper stickers. As of 11:00 this morning, over 300 people have responded and ordered 30,458 stickers! Wow! The offer expires this Thursday, February 11, so I'm repeating the original message below for your benefit. I hope you'll go order 100 or 1,000 bumper stickers rig […]
Otto Guevara, the Libertarian presidential candidate in yesterday's election in Costa Rica, received 21% of the vote. He came in third place, just behind the Citizens Action Party candidate who received 25%. The winner received only 47% of the vote, but under Costa Rican law there will be no runoff. The Libertarian Party congratulates Otto Guevara on […]
On February 4, LP Executive Director Wes Benedict appeared on FOX's Freedom Watch with Judge Andrew Napolitano. Benedict talked about libertarianism and the Libertarian Party.

Libertarian Patty Tweedle received 22% of the vote in yesterday's special election for Missouri State Representative (District 62). Tweedle's only opponent was a Republican. Ballot Access News editor Richard Winger points out that Tweedle had almost as much support as the 2008 Democratic Party candidate for that office. In 2008, the Democrat recei […]
February 1, 2010 Dear Friend of Liberty, An analysis published by the Cato Institute on January 21 offers a variety of statistics to support the notion that Americans are becoming more libertarian, and that they are becoming more comfortable with the word "libertarian" itself. I thought this study was very interesting, and I encourage you to take a […]
January 25, 2010 Dear Friend of Liberty, The much anticipated 2010 St. Louis Libertarian National Convention website is now live and taking Early Bird registrations!

Republican Senator-elect Scott Brown disclosed his hope of implementing more government-run health care in a recent post-campaign speech. Brown said he feels that a "basic plan for everyone" is important. Republican politicians generally do not favor limiting or reducing government. Most Republicans want to increase the size and scope of governme […]
