F reedom is a precious commodity. Whether it is economic, political, or spiritual freedom, men and women have given their lives both to achieve it and to keep it. Over the millennia, the three have been

intertwined. The United States is perhaps the greatest example of how the three work in harmony.

Our forefathers sailed from Europe to the New World for the chance to practice religious freedom. In Europe, their expression of religion was being oppressively restricted and regulated. Once here, the pursuit of freedom eventually led them to declare political independence from England. And finally, to secure financial freedom, the newly established United States of America began to mint and circulate its own coinage.

However, this new coinage needed to have integrity. It had to be worth something. Domestic and international transactions could only be conducted if the money used was valuable and trustworthy. It is not a coincidence then that the Constitution of the United States requires that all U.S. coins be minted out of gold and silver, thus guar-anteeing their value and their receptivity in the marketplace.

Financial freedom is only possible if you can actually conduct business with a trusted medium of exchange. In order to purchase the things that you want and need, there must be a seller willing to accept your money. And for you to be willing to sell a product, service, or asset, you must be convinced that you are receiving a genuine store of value in exchange.

The simple fact is, the U.S. Dollar would never have been accepted in America’s infancy if it had been merely a fiat or paper cur-rency. No one in their right mind would have been willing to ex-change valuable resources in the form of products, services, raw materials, or capital assets for a piece of paper. Likewise, today, you wouldn’t be willing to sell your home for Monopoly money. Monopoly money isn’t worth anything. It’s merely paper.

FinancialFreedom

Article 1 Section 10

T he answer is simple...because it used to be worth something. Historically, the U.S. Dollar built an impeccable and irreproachable reputation in the

world’s marketplace, because it was “as good as gold”. It was “as good as gold” because it was backed by and redeemable for a set amount of gold.

But the Dollar went through two drastic changes. First, it lost its gold backing domesti-cally in 1933. U.S. citizens could no longer redeem their paper dollars for gold. Then in 1971, the Dollar lost its gold backing internationally. Foreign countries could no longer redeem U.S. Dollars for gold. What we have left is a piece of pa-per. The only reason the Dollar isn’t laughed out of the world’s economic community is the fact

that all the other industrialized nations did the same thing! How does any of this make sense? Our parents taught us that it was never okay to do what all your friends were doing if it was immoral or unsafe. Taking currencies off the gold standard was both...immoral and unsafe.

Today, we correctly equate liberty with the right and ability to do what we choose to do within certain societal limita-tions—the chief of which is that our actions don’t harm others or infringe on their liberties. Regrettably, our gov-ernment is guilty of violating both principles. By taking the

“liberty” of printing and spending money that it did not have, the U.S. Government has indeed jeopar-dized our liberty. It has harmed every man, woman, and child in this country by burdening each of us with a staggering and unconscionable debt. And passing this ever-growing debt down from one gen-eration to the next is not a solution to the problem. That’s like getting rid of toxic waste by pouring it into the public water supply. It is harming, damaging, and ultimately enslaving our children and grandchildren. The freedoms that we so abundantly enjoy in our country are in dire peril. Make no mistake about it; the borrower becomes a slave to the lender.

There is nothing that we would rather do than to believe that something will be done about the U.S. debt before it’s too late. Unfortunately, none of us have the luxury of taking risks with the lives and futures of our children and grandchildren. It is a poor bet to trust the insanity in Washington, DC. By the time they come to their senses, provided they ever do, it will be much too late. For decades now, attempts have been made by various individuals and groups to reform the behavior in our nation’s capital...but to no avail. It is our strongest recom-mendation that you continue to work tirelessly at seeking reform at the local, state, and national levels. However, we urge you to also take defensive measures, both individually and as a family.

Economic freedom is ultimately dependent upon sound money; it is vital and necessary that you secure your financial freedom with some of your own sound money. The only tried and true sound money has been, and always will be, gold.

Why do we currently trust an economic system based on paper money?

Gold is the most liquid asset in the world.

Contrary to those who glibly refer to gold as a “barbaric relic” of the past, we believe it remains the only legitimate standard by which

to measure the world’s paper currencies. Gold is the most liquid asset in the world. It can be instantly converted into any paper currency on earth. Gold knows no boundaries. It is eagerly sought out by the people of virtually every nation on earth. We instinc-tively know that it has significant value. It always has; it always will.

Our future liberty depends on our remaining free. Tragically, we have mortgaged our future freedom by plunging our nation into an ocean of debt. Our politicians have foolishly borrowed and spent count-less billions of dollars on projects and social reform which we could not and cannot afford.
