Free Lakota Bank; Website: http://www.freelakotabank.com; At the Free Lakota Bank, we issue, circulate and accept for deposit only AOCS-Approved silver and gold currencies. Silver & gold are a store of value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Since we deal only in real money, we do not participate in any central bank looting schemes.

The John Galt; Website: http://www.johngaltcoin.com; "So you think that money is the root of all evil?" said Francisco d'Anconia. "Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?" It's time to shift the paradigm. Honest money, like AOCS Silver, is the Root of All Good.

Mises Institute; Website: http://mises.org/store/Mises-Silver-Coin-P624.aspx; The Ludwig von Mises Institute was founded in 1982 as the research and educational center of classical liberalism, libertarian political theory, and the Austrian School of economics. It serves as the world's leading provider of educational materials, conferences, media, and literature in support of the tradition of thought represented by Ludwig von Mises and the school of thought he enlivened and carried forward during the 20th century, which has now blossomed into a massive international movement of students, professors, professionals, and people in all walks of life. It seeks a radical shift in the intellectual climate as the foundation for a renewal of the free and prosperous commonwealth.

Republic of Texas; Website: http://www.texasrepublic.info; While the rest of the country's economic outlook turns more bleak by the day, the republic of Texas's elected government implements precautionary measures to weather the storm. "Our three-tiered approach keeps us virtually unaffected by the federal reserve's inflationary policy: we store our nation's wealth in Silver, trade Silver with local vendors as often as practical, and help Texians ditch the sinking U.S. dollar by providing a cost-effective method to revert to the republic of Texas national metal currency, modeled from our currency of the 1800's."

Freedom's Phoenix; Website: http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Secure/Buy-Silver-Coins.htm; We recognize that Freedom was taken from us the moment the ink was drying on the Constitution. Today's governmental structure is imploding under its own weight, and its death rattles aren't going to be pretty. At Freedom's Phoenix we observe, comment and try to stay out of the way. We know Freedom will rise from the ashes, and we want to make sure that everyone's Freedom is never signed away again by those who believe they have the power to do so.

We require 95% of our offerings to be manufactured within the USA, with a strong focus on local production. More importantly, at the Ag Trading Post, you will not find us accepting green "cash" as payment. No credit cards either. We believe paper "money" is debt, and debt is slavery. And so, as payment for goods and services, we exclusively accept - Value for Value.

Legalize It; Website: http://mjmoney.net; The Cannabis plant is known by many names, among them "hemp" and "marijuana". All forms, including industrial, medical, and psychotropical, are illegal to grow in the United States under Federal Law. In modern times, hemp has been used for industrial purposes including paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics, construction, health food, and fuel, all with great commercial success. The Latin quote on the medallion reverse sums it up: "Abusus Non Tollit Usum", meaning "Abuse is no argument against proper use."

From our perspective, our Republic is in grave danger, our Constitution hangs by a thread.

Soto Nation of Turtle Island; Website: http://www.sotonations.com; The Soto Nation are the spiritual leaders of the Anishinabe Nations that recognize North America as the Great Turtle Island. The story is still told of the rebirth after a terrible flood of the land masses on the back of a great turtle descended from the great spirit, Kichi Manitou. In the native traditions the turtle symbolizes longevity and carries the world on her back.

We Surround Them; Website: http://www.surroundmoney.com; Don't believe the "Wizard of Oz" lie.There are now more than 300 million Americans. The overwhelming lack of acknowledgment from our elected officials leads us to believe that our Patriotic thinking is old-fashioned and only mirrored by a few "right-wing nuts". When you draw back the curtain, however, you'll quickly find that there are only a few small, scared men hiding, hoping to continue their fraud. In fact, when you really think about it, We Surround Them.
