A Request for Help

Dear reader,

You have probably deduced by now that our longtime friend is Jim Davidson. See his article on the status of his case, Due Process of Law. Subsequent to publishing that, Jim learned that he must raise $5,000 for a retainer before October 20 to obtain legal representation, or risks having the case proceed without counsel and with no possibility of further delay. Jim offers a free copy of his new book in consideration of donations of $25 or more. The rule of law demands the presumption of innocence until evidence removing reasonable doubt is presented by the complainant.

Jim has been released from jail after selling his car to post bond. He would prefer to retain a lawyer rather than depend on the tender mercies of a public defender. He has identified a lawyer he would like to retain, who wants $5,000 as an initial retainer. Costs are estimated as follows:

• $5,000 for basic discovery, pleading, etc.
• $3,000 for motions, including to suppress evidence
• $5,000 for trial should any charges proceed to trial

Jim maintains his innocence with respect to the charges, and while the Libertarian Enterprise will not comment on the particulars of the situation, we do believe that everyone is owed a fair trial and the ability to retain a lawyer, with whom one is able to communicate in confidentiality. To that end, we have set up a GiveSendGo page. Jim, and we, would be extremely grateful for any help our readers would be able to kindly provide.

Jim offers a free copy of his new book in consideration of donations of $25 or more.

Donations will show up as "Rule of Law", and will be directed to an account in Cathy's name which will then be provided to chosen counsel.

Yours in Liberty,

No More @#$%^&*! Ping-Pong
by L. Neil Smith
*BLAST FROM THE PAST* Having withdrawn as a potential candidate for the Libertarian Party presidential nomination (or any other nomination, for that matter), the next logical step is to tell the world—as much of it as I can reach—who I think is the best remaining would-be nominee.

A Double-Barreled Solution To Homelessness
by Leslie Fish
Today Phoenix, of all places, has a "homeless community" — what used to be called a hobo jungle — not on its outskirts but in the middle of downtown. Now the sixth-largest city in the US can join the previous five, and easily ten more, in having streets full of bums. Congratulations. Our cities weren't this bad off during the Great Depression.

The Bill of NON-Rights
By Lewis Napper
We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights.
