   THIS ISSUE’S MOTTO: Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. — William Pitt the Younger

   THE WEEKLY CARTOON: CNN: Elon Musk could threaten free speech by literally allowing people to speak freely.

   A Request for Help

   Jim Davidson, a long-time contributor to TLE, is currently awaiting trial on extended traffic related charges. See his early October article on the status of his case, [Due Process of Law] (https://ncc-1776.org/tle2022/tle1176-20221002-05.html). Since then he has retained an attorney. The attorney usually charges $2,000 to start; there may be more, possibly $10,000.

   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. 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 counsel.

   Thank you

   Yours in Liberty,

   Rylla and Cathy Smith

   I’m not mentioning any names, but I’m gonna take care of those who take their time to read this post. Please, in memory of someone who died or fought cancer or is fighting cancer copy and paste then write DONE! This has a very special meaning for me today! DONE!

   At the request of a friend I copied and pasted this. It resonates with me, as well. A good many of my FB friends offered prayers and good thoughts and positive energy when I had a friend diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and he subsequently passed away. I offer those same thoughts and positive energy for anyone else in similar circumstances.
