Submitted by cpowell on Tue, 1999-03-30 03:00 Section: Daily DispatchesDear friends of GATA and Gold,
I am very pleased to bring you the following letter and information from
GATA member Richard Harmon about Congressman Ron Paul, the 14th District
in Texas that Ron Paul represents, and his statement of support for
Congressman Saxton on the I.M.F. gold sales issue. The whole deserves
careful reading.

We have had a strong rebut from Dr Gary Matthews to the Farfel posting
of yesterday. Dr Matthews, whom I know as Doc, was one of the first to
support me when I risked all to start Le Metropole Cafe in May 1998, and
he was right there with a pledge of $500 within two days of the Gold
Anti-Trust Action Launch. Now he has written:
"As you well know, I have been with you from the very beginning. I

Last week the Prime Minister of Canada, Jean Chretian, added his voice
to the chorus, "The I.M.F. should sell some of its gold to help the poor
countries." He did so probably well knowing that if the money-rich are
really so concerned about the money-poor countries, they would be seen

GOLDBUGS. . . are you angry yet???
I first appeared on the Kitco forum about two years ago. As many of you
remembered, at that time, I attempted, in my own small way, to rouse

Gold is the key to culture.
Take gold out of the economy and you take the heart out of the economy.

by.
Dig deep for love? what is love?
