Gerard
Fitzgerald serves as the President of Americans for a Free

of advertising for over 35 years in Las Vegas, Nevada. Semi-retired
at present, he owned his own company (Domad, Inc.) for many years
and served as the Director of Advertising for Argent Corporation's
Stardust, Hacienda and Freemont Hotels. For 12 years in the late
70s and early 80s, he was the advertising director and close confidant
of the famous entertainer Rodney Dangerfield. He handled "out of
state promotions" for the state of Nevada throughout North America,
and in 1994 he ran on the Republican Party ticket for the Nevada
State Legislature. He started life as an ardent Republican, but
gradually came to realize the corrupt nature of all politics that
tries to run the American economy from Washington. He describes
himself as a "Goldwater conservative without the bellicose foreign
policy."

and website, A1 Guide to Gold Investments.com. In 2007,
he expanded his investment / financial business into the Small
Business Goldmine, which is designed to give U.S. small business
owners the opportunity to protect themselves from the current and
mounting worldwide credit collapse and the decay of the U.S. dollar.
Alex is a fervent advocate of free enterprise and writes a regular
online newsletter, Euro vs Dollar Gold Monitor. His articles
are carried on numerous Internet sites such as SafeHaven, Financial

Frank
Baumgartner is the owner and CEO of Osiris Gold Inc. in
Denver, Colorado and the Project Coordinator of Americans for a
Free Republic. For all of his adult life, Mr. Baumgartner has been
an exemplar of the entrepreneurial spirit that built this country,
holding positions of ownership in several highly successful corporations,
such as Phoenix Aviation Inc., XL Drilling Company Inc., and Jupiter
Corporation. In 1965, he was a member of the famous Arnold Heim
Geological Expedition to Greenland. He served in the 25th Division
Army Artillery during WW II and was called back for the Korean
War. A graduate of Clark University in 1950, he has been a history
buff for many decades and is naturally alarmed with the direction
of America under the influence of Demopublican political control.
