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,

Where Do We Go From Here?
by L. Neil Smith
*BLAST FROM THE PAST* The October, 2003 issue of Discover contains one of the saddest letters I've ever read. Gil Bell, of Duluth, Georgia, writes " ... one would have to conclude that travel out of our solar system is impossible. The fusion, fission, and antimatter engines require too much fuel ...

Should we invite all the world’s diplomats to PorcFest secession conference?
by Dave Ridley
New Hampshire has the Free State Project, which has an annual get-together called Porcfest (short for Porcupine Freedom Festival, not the U.S. Congress). New Hampshire also has an active independence movement. Dave Ridley asks: should Porcfest invite the world's diplomatic corps to the upcoming PorcFest?
