My elder brother, Theodore Terbolizard (who changed
his last name from Hommel over a decade ago), is running for the Republican
nomination to run for Congress in California's 4th District, and the vote is
about 6 weeks away on June 3rd. Since the district is overwhelmingly
Republican and Libertarian, the primary is the real race.
Terbo Ted, as we call him, understands and supports
free market capitalism. On every issue, his view is for more freedom
for the people, and less freedom for the government.
This is the same end result of buying silver, of
course; it takes back illegitimate power from the government, and puts it
back into the hands of those who buy silver. I think buying silver is
more effective at driving political change than voting, and Ted thinks we
need to be more active in direct politics. Who am I to say which path
is wiser? Tough call.
Charles Savoie, writer at Silver-Investor.com, has
long advocated more political involvement that I have, to protect our freedom
to buy silver and avoid confiscation or further economic disruptions, but
I've always maintained that we don't need to do much politically until
later. Has the time now come?
The campaign is one of the most highly watched
campaigns in the nation right now as the Republican incumbant is plagued by
scandals, and is not running, which removes a huge barrier, since incumbants
have such a large advantage.
One other contender, Doug Ose, another Republican,
is loaning his own campaign $849,000, which has raised the spending cap on
individual donations to $6,900 per individual U.S. resident (corporations
cannot donate).

If I've helped you make a substantial amount of
money in silver, I would like you to consider making a donation up to the
maximum of $6,900 to Ted's campaign, or anything less that you feel is
appropriate for you.
You can find out more about Ted and his views, and
can make a donation, here:

So far, Ted's campaign has raised only about
$10,000, despite my repeated requests for your help. I've spent several
times more than the maximum on a TV campaign that nearly everyone in the
district seems to have seen, and the TV AD can be seen here:

(While direct contributions to Ted's campaign are
limited, anyone can spend their own money however they wish to promote a
candidate.)
We feel that Ted has a real shot at winning, since
Ted's views are right, and popular in the district. Other free market
candidates have earned up to 40% of the vote by spending a mere $100,000, but
Ted has already been recognized on a national scale as one of the leading new
free market Republican contenders. Like other free market
candidates, it seems that Ted can win by spending much less money than the
other Republicans who are pro-war, pro-big government, and have records of
wasteful spending, raising taxes, and taking away the rights of the people.
Already, Ted's campaign has the best web site, the
best print pieces, the best TV commercials, and Ted is the dominant and most
likable and lively public speaker at the candidate forums.
On April 15th, Ted will be going to Washington for a
Freedom Rally, where there will be a gathering of many freedom groups that
will call for an end to excessive and unjust taxation, and increased faith in
free market economics.

While many of my readers think of me as brave,
saying that I'm literally laying my life on the line to get the message out
about the benefits of silver and the evils of paper money and
usury, Ted is more brave, directly taking on tax issues I'd rather not
mention.
We were both ski racers growing up. We were
very competitive, and we still are.

Terbo Ted's not scared of this battle; for both of
us, we do this for fun, because otherwise, we'd be bored to tears with our
lives.
But also, how can we truly enjoy the freedoms we do, without fighting for
freedom for others? We could waste our lives on personal pleasures such
as skiing all winter, as we have a family cabin right on the ski hill, but
since Ted is running for Congress, and since I study the stocks and write, we
only skied 2 days together this season. It's a real sacrifice we make
to transform the world around us, and it is well worth it, and we are still
trying to out-do each other while helping each other. We understand the
benefits of competition, it brings out the best in us.
To get the freedom message out does cost money, but
not nearly as much as the other guys will spend. Don't overlook the
effectiveness of your contributions. I've spent an average of $5 per
email on this list, about $400,000, just to get my messages to you, but I
have been able to do that only by spending the money that comes in for the
"look at my portfolio"; they are the true sponsors of this message.
This is part of my long term plan. I thought,
if I can help people make money, then maybe they can help me effectively
advocate positive political change. Perhaps it's too early, perhaps the
silver price is too low, and it's not yet worth it to spend some silver to to
reach out to people with the freedom message, but perhaps not.
According to the free market way, everything is entirely up to you.

And yes, politics has everything to do with silver. Please re-read my
article on the "True Reflections of Silver" that I wrote nearly two
years ago in 2006. It's modeled after the Declaration of Independence.
