Lawson is a wonderful young candidate running for Congress in North Carolina’s Fourth Congressional District. B.J. is a medical doctor, family man, Constitutionalist and a [...]

This is a letter to Ron Paul and to all who are sick and tired of the “big money” running our country’s affairs. We “little people” are what make this country work…they are NOT listening to us!

Even a “bipartisan deal” – whatever that is supposed to mean – will not stop the Congress from thrashing about. The beneficiaries of the corrupt monetary system of the last three decades are now desperately [...]

Dear Friends: The financial meltdown the economists of the Austrian School predicted has arrived. We are in this crisis because of an excess of artificially created credit at the hands of the Federal Reserve System. The solution being proposed? More artificial credit by the Federal Reserve. No liquidation of bad debt and malinvestment is to [...]

“Mr. Chairman, I believe that our economy faces a bleak future, particularly if the latest $700 billion bailout plan ends up passing. We risk committing the same errors that prolonged the misery of the Great Depression, namely keeping prices from falling. Instead of allowing overvalued financial assets to take a hit and trade on the [...]
