[Editor's Note: I don't know Aaron Russo and I haven't seen this film but I wanted to make you aware of its existence. I'm not endosing any bids to send this guy money as I don't think it's appropriate to be asking for donations to pay for the promotion of a theater film, but you are free to make your own decisons in that regard. If the movie is as revealing as it purports to be, it ought to make a lot of money  Send me a review if you get to see the film..Ken]

Dear Readers:

"Oh, my, I had no idea!"

That´s  what the audience is saying as they walk out of Aaron Russo´s new film,  America:  From Freedom to Fascism.  Their voices are hushed.   Some faces are pale and wet with tears, sick at what they´ve discovered.   Many are red, angry to learn for the first time that they have been robbed --  their country, their rights, and their very future have been stolen from them  and their children.

But it may all end right there - all  Aaron´s work, all his sacrifice, all his vision, all the possibilities to make a  real change in America, unless we
pitch in and help him.  Let me explain. 

Everything in the world was stacked against this movie.  What major studio would back a movie this controversial?  A movie that  exposes the entire Federal Reserve scam the income tax fraud, and the IRS? A  movie that catches a former IRS commissioner boasting that the IRS isn´t subject  to Supreme Court decisions?  A movie that publicizes government brutality  against protestors?  A movie that reveals how America was swindled out of  her gold reserve?  A movie that pulls back the curtain on the coming police  state in the US, with its plans to tag everyone with a national ID card and  implant an RFID chip in every man, woman, and child?  A movie that lays  bare the whole New World Order?

Warner Brothers and MGM and  Fox wouldn´t touch that project with a thirty foot pole, let alone put up money  to make the movie.  Those giant corporations - already in bed with big  government - would never produce or release that movie.

So  without asking for anybody´s help, Aaron Russo set out to make this film, because he knew it had to be made.  He put up 100% of the money to make the  film.  He invested two years of his life. He laid his name and his  reputation on the line.  Not just for the sake of his own freedom, but for  yours, too, and your children´s, and for millions of Americans who don´t know  sic `em from come here about what their government really does, or the tyranny  that government has already mapped out for them.  Aaron made this movie so  everyone in America would understand, so people would really get it.  And  when they see the movie, they do.  (You can view a trailer for the movie at 
www.freedomtofascism.com < http://www.freedomtofascism.com/ >  .)

Let me make something plain.  This is not a movie  that divides, but a movie that unites.  Aaron does not work like Michael  Moore, who plays to the Left to increase polarization.  Aaron´s movie plays  to the whole country.  It doesn´ t take sides.  It´s not Democrat or  Republican, it´s not left, not right, but dead on.

Now  Aaron Russo needs our help.  The money and the years have been spent, the  movie has been made, the test audiences are raving about it, distribution has  been arranged, but Aaron still needs our help.

The movie  must still be marketed and advertised.  It must be promoted and supported  by TV, newspaper, and radio advertising to get it out to the largest audience  possible, to every nook and cranny in America, every city, every town, every  hamlet, every corner of America.

How could a single movie  be that important?

Because it will change forever  Americans´ false perception of how things work here.  Everybody has to see  this movie.  This is the tool we´ve been
waiting for.  It´s  non-violent, it´s ruthlessly honest, and it can change America. Everybody  who sees this movie gets it.  The light goes on.  Nobody has ever explained so much in one place before.

Without your help,  Aaron has only enough steam to open in New York City on July fourth.  After  that, nothing will happen unless every one of us helps him.

If  we help Aaron now, here´s what he can do.

Ø    premiere in two theaters in New York

Ø      then open in a few theatres in Los  Angeles

Ø      then  Chicago

Ø      then take it to  two hundred theatres nation wide, and then 500, and then  . . 

But all that takes money.

By now you  may be snorting, "Who is this guy Franklin Sanders to ask me for money to help  promote a movie?

That´s a fair question, and here´s a fair  answer.  According to an assistant United States Attorney, I am "the most  dangerous man in the mid-South." 
What makes me so dangerous?  I am  the man who opened a gold and silver bank so that Americans could realise their  right to honest, stable gold and silver money.  That was perfectly legal,  even in 1984, but the federal government didn´t like it.  For my trouble I  spent the next sixteen years fending off the feds, the IRS, and state  government, trying to keep my wife and me out of jail, and trying to keep them  from killing my seven children, my wife, and me.  I even ended up going to  jail.

I know -- you think I´m crazy or lying.  You  can´t believe "our" government agents would do such terrible things.  Most  people can´t, and I understand
why.  It´s too horrible to believe.   Besides, the government and the media work together to blacken everyone who  stands for the law, the constitution, and the truth.  They label them  "trouble-makers" and "extremists", and even, as a last resort,  "terrorists." Usually, it works, but our case was different.  The  federal government indicted 11 people out of our church (because the church  elders refused to roll over for the IRS´s fishing expedition) as well as another  14 people.

Some pled guilty, just to put an end to the  nightmare.  By the grace of God, the 16 of us who held out to the end were  all acquitted.  (You can read the entire story at  www.the-moneychanger.com/dangerous.phtml <http://www.the-moneychanger.com/dangerous.phtml> )  The state also  charged me in a related case, but I was convicted there.

And I should have been convicted, because I was guilty:  guilty of speaking  the truth, guilty of insisting the government abide by the law and the  constitution, guilty of exposing the entire lying system of phoney money that  steals the property and future from every single American.  And if I had to  do it all over again, as God is my helper I would do it without one moment´s  hesitation, because it was the right thing to do.

Today  Aaron Russo is guilty, too - guilty of making a movie to tell America the  truth.  And he needs our help.

Should one man take  the cause of the whole nation on his own shoulders?  Should one man give  everything, while everyone else profits and none help?  Any honest man must  say, "No - let me help, too.  I don´t want anybody else to carry the load  for me."

Here´s what Aaron needs:  money to market and  advertise America:  From Freedom To Fascism.  If we won´t help him,  Aaron has told me he will make sure America sees this movie even if he has to  walk it across America.  But if he has to do that, the movie will never  have the effect it could have.  Its impact will fizzle out in little  sparks, instead of the massive explosion it could touch off.  Everybody who  has seen this movie knows that it can change America.

And I  know that in America today there is no effective movement to oppose, much less  turn back, the plans to create a police state and turn us into a
nation of  slaves.  At his own risk and expense, Aaron Russo has made a movie that  might be the spark to set off an explosion in the public´s heart that might win  back our liberties, and our children´s future.

This is not  a distant cause.  It is the cause of our rights and our ancient freedoms,  right here in America, and it is not happening to somebody else.  It´s  happening right now to you, and to me, and this may be our last, best chance to  wake up our neighbours.  My friends know that I´m not much of one to talk  about "last chances" because I know that Heaven has many more options than we  can conceive.

Never before has the freedom movement had a  professional like Aaron Russo on its side.  Aaron work has won numerous  gold records, platinum records, an Emmy, a Tony, and six Academy Award  nominations.  His films have received seven Golden Globe nomination and  actually won three Golden Globes.  To make this movie Aaron had to go  against all the grain of Hollywood status and popularity.  More than that,  he had to love the truth.

We all know that advertising  doesn´t come cheap.  A full page ad in the New York Times costs  $95,256.00.  Half a page costs $52,920.
A quarter page costs  $26,460.  One column inch costs $840.

Sounds  impossible, but think:  if only 529 of us each gave $100, we could buy that  half page ad.

What am I asking from you?  Give up two  meals for your freedom.

You probably don´t balk at dropping  $6.50 for a large white chocolate macchiatto at Starbucks.  When you take  your wife and kids out to eat, you don´t hesitate to lay out $60 at Pizza  Hut.      If it´s a special occasion and you really want to  celebrate, you´ll go to Fancy French Jacques or L´Aubergine and drop a hundred  fifty bucks for four people and congratulate yourself on a  bargain.

I am asking you to donate the price of two meals  out with your family to Aaron Russo, to promoteAmerica:  From Freedom to  Fascism.  You name the price.

Please note:  this  is not an investment, but a gift to help Aaron make sure the most Americans  possible see this film.  Not one cent of your money will
go to anything but  promoting this movie.  No, it´s not an "investment" in the usual sense  because you won´t get any money back, but it most certainly is
an investment in  your nearest and dearest interests, and the return may be restoring your country  and your rights.

You may think the price is too high, the  risk of nothing happening too great.  You may be right.  It may be too  late to turnAmerica from her fate.  That´
s what the enemies of freedom want  you to think.

In December, 1777 it looked like it was too  late for America, and too late for freedom.  Toward Valley Forge you could  trace the path of Washington´s men by the blood their unshod feet left in the  snow. When they arrived at their campsite, no shelters were waiting, so they  spent
the first two weeks building huts.  Lacking blankets, they had to sit  by the fire all night to keep from freezing.  On December 23 Washington  wrote to
Congress that he had 2,898 men "unfit for duty because they were  barefoot, and otherwise naked."  He wrote to his wife that she couldn´t  come review the troops, because some were so ragged that their uniforms didn´t  even cover their private parts.

To those men with the  bleeding feet, it must have seemed too late for America, but they never went  home.  They never gave up.  They gave their last
breath. Next to that,  giving up a couple of meals in a restaurant doesn´t seem like much to risk, does  it?

Respectfully yours,

Franklin Sanders
