Former U.S. Congressman
Warns Hypnotized Americans:
“SNAP OUT OF IT!”
It’s Not Too Late…
Double Your Standard of Living, Protect Your Life Savings from Failing Banks, Retire 10 Years Early and…
Tell Big Brother to “Buzz Off”
From: The Office of Robert E. Bauman, JD
Legal Counsel, The Sovereign Society
Dear Reader,
If you’re happy with the way things are going… You think the Federal Reserve is a fine and honest steward of the Dollar… the Obama Administration is bringing transparency to Washington… and Wall Street will never, ever put their interests before “Joe Public” again – delete this message.
(For that matter, seek professional help!)
But… if you’re in the vocal minority of folks that smell something “burning” in Washington… and you don’t want to stick around waiting to find out what it is – or how bad things are about to get, please continue.
You might be the person I’m looking for.
My name is Bob Bauman and I’m seeking a kindred spirit. Someone who’s serious about “financial freedom.”
If this describes you – then congratulations!
I’d like to welcome you to the Sovereign Society Freedom Alliance.
To be clear, this is not an invitation to “subscribe” to an investment advisory service. Nor am I asking you to buy a report. But if you’re struggling to wrap your head around this challenging economy… you’ve been overwhelmed by the idea of going “offshore” and you’re concerned about the future – this memo will be of great importance to you.
The ugly truth is…
The “Middle Class Rich” are Under Attack!
In virtually every state, property taxes are soaring… budgets are bleeding and “eat the rich” attacks are gaining support…
Social security is already in net deficit… Next year, $10 billion more will be paid out to retirees than is taken in through taxes.
In a prelude to full-blown Currency Controls – the Feds have cracked down on dollar-alternatives – like Oil and Natural Gas funds – forcing investors back into crumbling U.S. dollars.
A National Sales Tax (or VAT) is about to be hustled through Congress to fund billions of dollars in new “handouts” and giveaway programs… that will cost you an extra $10,680 a year.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is running out of money – with only $19 billion on hand to cover an estimated $4.4 trillion in deposits.
The US Dollar has crashed 19% vs. the Euro… and 42% against gold in the past 12 months.
Even those who sell us “hope” – like President Obama and his staff – have warned of dark days ahead. |
Most Americans KNOW something is horribly wrong. They’re just too lazy or “hypnotized” to do something about it. That’s why politicians (secretly) refer to them as sheep.
But you’re not one of them. If you were, you wouldn’t have read this far. And friend, that’s why I’m writing this letter. Not to convince you of anything. But to help you act on your instincts – and escape from America – while there is still time.
To that end, we are prepared to sign a contract that’ll give you:
- FREE Advance Copies of my most popular, privately printed guides from The Passport Book to Where to Stash Your Cash Legally… AND Free updates for life, so your personal Offshore Library will NEVER go out of date.
- Complimentary access to Online DVDs, Audio Recordings and Transcripts from the 2009 Offshore Advantage Academy… 2010 Total Wealth Symposium and ALL our future conferences. Without Leaving your home office, you'll learn...
- The Three Safest Ways to Transfer Money Offshore.
- Four Legal Ways to Save Taxes Offshore, Including How to Earn a Tax-free $91,400 Each Year!
- 15 Questions You MUST Ask When Purchasing Foreign Real Estate
- FREE Lifetime membership to The Sovereign Society, including our flagship monthly newsletter, The Sovereign Individual. So you NEVER get blindsided by unknown threats to your wealth… or overlook a golden opportunity that gets “buried” in the mainstream press.
- And much more…
Our goal is simple: To help you
Easily (and Safely) Escape High Income Taxes, Expanding Government Regulations…and
Retire 5-10 Years Early
Now…
It is true what they say: “Knowledge is power.”
But there’s a catch.
Most of what you’d call “knowledge” is either out of date or out of reach!
You wouldn’t use an 89-year-old map to navigate a bustling new city.
That would be crazy!
And odds are, you don’t have time to drop EVERYTHING… explore all the nooks, and crannies of the Offshore world… and still do your job… raise a family… and manage your investments.
(Without kissing your sanity “goodbye.”)
And that’s precisely why we set about creating a “nerve center” for sovereign individuals. A place where you can pluck from the most effective and timeless wealth building strategies PLUS the most relevant, up-to-date knowledge available – all the while supported by an action team of highly-trained wealth advisors, lawyers, accountants and bankers – from around the globe.
It’s the best way I know to put an end to money worries, provide abundance for your family and detach your fate from that of the U.S. government.
Until today, such a “place” never existed…
We’ve been laboring for the past 12 years to make it a reality.
And just this past summer – we came to the conclusion that it had to be deployed ASAP.
We’ve reached a critical tipping point.
Millions of Americans are leaving (or planning to leave) the country. According to Zogby Research, a massive and silent migration is underway. Families are packing their bags…kids… pets and deciding to go offshore at the rate of 54-per minute! (Some seeking a full-time residence… others a part-time tropical vacation home where they can live like royalty for $20,000 a year.)
The government, of course, won’t tell you about this. Heck, the Feds don’t even keep figures on Americans living abroad. And for good reason. If they DID and those figures leaked out – they could cause a panic.
That’s why it’s critical that you act, while you still have the option. (Before the Obama Administration slams the door.) And why I took it upon myself to launch the Freedom Alliance – a small group dedicated to helping you escape this inevitable reality.
As an aspiring Freedom Alliance Member, you can get complimentary access to a powerful offshore toolbox – what I call the Escape from America Kit. Here’s what you’ll find inside:
Escape From America Kit: Part 1 of 7:
Your own, Private Library of “Forbidden Knowledge”
that NEVER goes out of date

If you were to buy all my books as they came out, you’d spend upwards of $396 a year to stay current.
And it would be worth every penny.
But when you choose to become a Freedom Alliance member, you will NEVER have to pay for my research again. Each time I release a new book – or update an existing one, we’ll let you know. Then you can get a copy, free of charge.
Whether you want to read the seventh edition of The Passport Book… Where to Stash Your Cash Legally… Lawyer-Proof Your Life... Panama Money Secrets – or any other book I’ve penned – you’ll find your personal library is always available and never out of date.
These step-by-step guides will help you cut through the clutter… and give you the confidence to pursue a liberated lifestyle.
All you have to do is fire up your laptop… Settle into a cozy chair and you’ll discover hundreds of life-changing secrets, like…
- How to obtain an EU Passport so you can live and work permanently in any of 27 European countries without immigration troubles…
- Websites and contact information of over 80 foreign embassies and consulates that will take the hassle out of going “offshore”…
- How to experience all the luxury of Western Europe at half the cost… artsy cafes, ornate villages and pastoral towns – for pennies on the dollar – that combine the charms of yore with today’s sophistication…
- 100 common legal concerns and how you can handle them yourself without paying high fees to hire a lawyer…
- The best ways to deal with the government in disputes over Social Security, disability payments and workman’s compensation…
- Where you can earn your first $87,600 this year, tax-free (up to $175,200 if you’re married) and boost your disposable income by as much as $52,000 a year…
- How to set up a family foundation in a tropical paradise and use it for investments, tax-sheltering and commercial business projects – while leaving a lasting legacy to those you love – not the government…
- Invest in “off-limits” markets forbidden to 99% of U.S. investors and add an ironclad layer of protection to your wealth.
And because your library will be secured online – there is no need to worry about anyone snooping through your collection – or leaving it behind. Access it from anywhere on the planet. (FYI… If you’d prefer a hard-copy, you can request one at any time.)
Escape From America Kit: Part 2 of 7:
“Jump-Start” Your Offshore Escape Plan…
with FREE Admission to our 2010 Total Wealth Symposium
When you’re ready to make your “Escape from America” plan a reality – it’s time to attend the Total Wealth Symposium.
“Funny how the best
advice comes from people who AREN’T part of the Washington/Wall
Street Machine.” |
Each year, this event has completely sold out – with standing room only. And I’m convinced, next year; we’ll stop taking reservations months in advance.
But as a Freedom Alliance Member, we will reserve you a seat in Montreal and waive the $995 gate fee.
This is your chance to rub elbows and toss back a couple drinks with men and women who are “in the trenches” putting what you’ve learned into action. There is no better way to accelerate your offshore goals and walk away with a rock-solid asset protection plan that can be put to work immediately. (And have a great time while you’re at it!)
Here’s what a few of our members had to say…
“I feel great! I am now able to put my full energies towards my business and enjoy life. I have actually noticed that I am now more relaxed and confident in my everyday living.”
–Joe Parks, 2006 attendee, Offshore Advantage Academy
“There’s very little information that I can get my hands on outside of The Sovereign Society that I can really trust.”
–Pamela Thorten, paid-up member since 2002
“I’m making better than 20% of what I’m investing in… It also gives me piece of mind to know I have assets that people don’t know about.”
–Isaac Weston, paid-up member since 2007
“The Sovereign Society tells you the truth. They find investments that no broker would tell you about or anybody else. I haven’t found any source anywhere that’s as good as this… It’s must-have information.”
–Ross Finkelstein, paid-up member since 2006
“Your program gives me confidence in getting money offshore and investing it outside the United States.”
–Derek Jackson, paid-up member since 2009
“The information has all been profitable. Each day has been a pleasure and an adventure.”
–Ron Elkwood, 2008 attendee, Offshore Advantage Academy
“The beauty of all this is, you get to meet people just like you… share information and compare notes.”
–Christopher Levin, 2006 Attendee, Offshore Advantage Academy
“The best thing for me was… it wasn’t intimidating.”
–Dan Eckhart, 2008 attendee, Emergency Money Summit
Hundreds of our readers pay upwards of $995 for this experience. In fact, I’ve been told it’s like soaking up a semester’s-worth of knowledge… in just a few days. But as a Freedom Alliance Member, it’s yours, absolutely free.
Escape From America Kit: Part 3 of 7:
On-Demand Audio and Video Recordings from ALL Sovereign Society Events, from Offshore Advantage 2009… to Total Wealth Symposium 2010 and the Upcoming FX University Summit
“What’s working RIGHT NOW?”
To answer that question, our most serious subscribers travel to Panama, Bermuda, Mexico, etc. to attend our conferences. Each year, they spend $2,000 to $5,000 on airfare and travel costs – plus admission. – for good reason. The information revealed at these events can’t be found anywhere else.
But what if you can’t get the time off – or spend $5,000 to make the trip?
That’s why we offer Freedom Alliance Members complimentary audio, video and transcripts from EVERY event we hold.
This is must-hear information for anyone who values superior investment and asset protection ideas – or seeking to live the "American Dream" that's become so out of reach for most U.S. citizens.
And like paid-up member, Jessica Hastings, you may find yourself saying,
“I want to listen to it over and over again.”
It’s true… listening in on these seminars is like getting $2,795-worth of hard-fought insight each and every year… without even packing a toothbrush. There is nothing like “being there” personally but this is the second best way to accelerate your Offshore game-plan, from the comfort of your own living room or iPod.

These Online CDs sell for upwards of $500 a year. But as a Freedom Alliance member, they’re yours, FREE.
Escape From America Kit: Part 4 of 7:
Get the World’s Top Legal Minds to Work for You –
Pro Bono!
As you know, it’s impossible to walk into a lawyer’s office without paying hundreds of dollars – minimum. (I personally charge $500 an hour for legal advice.)
But imagine if you had not just me – but a whole team of elite lawyers looking over your shoulder… Scanning the horizon for threats to your wealth… Fast-tracking the paperwork and red tape that stifle so many small-businesses… AND fighting for your rights and liberties – right alongside you each month.
That’s the spirit behind our most important new service called Legislative Defense Alerts. All year long, we monitor what government officials are up to – and zero in on the most pressing concerns. When one arises, we’ll report back to you in an easy-to-understand “cliff notes” format each time…
- The U.S. Supreme Court makes a ruling that could impact your wealth…
- Menacing legislation is taken up in committee – and edges its way toward a critical vote…
- Freedom-hating organizations, like the OECD, threaten offshore assets…
- And when one of the trusted havens we monitor adopts or modifies rules on second-citizenship, wealth management or travel visa requirements.
When you consider that just one of these alerts could potentially save you $10,000… $50,000 or more – it’s hard to imagine that we’d give them away to Freedom Alliance Members – for life.
But this is an investment we’re prepared to make to ensure that our closest friends and associates are spared the indignity of an IRS audit… a malicious lawsuit or a Federal “bait-and-switch” ruling that leaves you high and dry.
You’ll also get…
Escape From America Kit: Part 5 of 7:
Complimentary Lifetime Subscription to
The Sovereign Individual
In the pages of our monthly flagship newsletter you’ll find in-depth insights and analysis covering a wide array of investment opportunities, asset protection and tax planning.
Our 23,605+ members tell me this is much closer to a full day seminar in print. Each month it arrives via first class mail, delivering what many refer to as that critical, elusive “AHA-moment.” The one they’ve been searching for, where the light bulb in their head finally “clicks on.”
Many of the opportunities discussed in TSI offer the potential to make a MINIMUM of three-times your money in as little as just weeks.
I promise, you will NOT find these on Wall Street or your local brokerage. You can’t. These rare little blockbusters come straight from the horse’s mouth… inside contacts… heads of banks and “power players” who have more connections than Richard Branson or Bill Gates.

And it’s yours FREE – for life – with your Freedom Alliance Membership.
Yes! There’s more…
Escape From America Kit: Part 6 of 7:
“Offshore Millionaire” Conference Series
Sometimes a great idea can’t fit into two or three pages of The Sovereign Individual.
“I can’t believe this material is being released to
the general public, it is far
too powerful…” |
And that’s why we’ve decided to expand our analysis to include live conference calls. As a Freedom Alliance member, you’ll get a direct vote on what we cover next… and a chance to pepper our guests with questions.
Then… you can dial in “live” or simply wait a day or two and receive the full transcript to read at your leisure. Just don’t be surprised by the frank, “off the cuff” nature of these calls. We are all friends here and should some adult language slip out – or perhaps a politically incorrect reference – you should not be shocked.
Future topics of discussion include…
- How to get penalty-free distributions from your IRA long before you retire…
- Taking advantage of offshore havens with low corporate tax rates (as low as 16%) and low personal tax rates (as low as 18%)…
- Where you can tap into the exotic world of hedge funds – even if you don’t have six-figures to invest.
- What never to do when opening an offshore bank account.
These private conference calls will carry a price tag of $348 per year when they are made available to the general public. But you can dial in, absolutely free.
You’ll also get…
Escape From America Kit: Part 7 of 7:
Freedom Alliance “Strategic Investment Reports”
This will keep you ahead of the curve.
These are not normal times… And to help you adjust to the changing landscape and emerge stronger when the “dust settles,” we will be issuing detailed reports several times a year. These bulletins focus on big-ideas and breaking trends from real estate to foreign equities to controversial – yet explosively profitable – strategies to hedge your portfolio and achieve abnormally high returns.
For example – we just published:
- From Crash to Cash: How to Profit from the Biggest Housing Bust Since the Great Depression.
- Escape from America: The Top 6 Countries for Residence, Dual Citizenship and Second Passports.
- Emerging Wealth: Two Simple Ways to Profit from the World’s Fastest-Growing Economies.
- The Short Path to Profits: Grab 50% to 1,225% on the Next Market Crash.

These reports are valued at $39 to $99 apiece. However, they cannot be measured by a price tag. Because what they can do for you financially speaking. Each has the capability to help you make – or save tens of thousands of dollars in a matter of weeks. And as a Freedom Alliance Member, you can download them all - free of charge.
Everything I’ve mentioned above will be posted on a private website… where you’ll also find a message board. Feel free to add your two cents – or enjoy the back-and-forth with your fellow Freedom Alliance members and special guests. (You never know who may drop in!)
Sound good?
Alright… Now the moment of truth:
“You Have a Very Important Decision to Make…”
The way I see it you have two options:
Door #1: If you do nothing: Your fate will be tied to that of the United States… insolvent banking systems… a disintegrating dollar and “eat the rich” policies that will undoubtedly cripple your retirement – and erode years of hard work.
Door #2: Or… like hundreds of other Sovereign Individuals reading this letter… You can REFUSE to be paralyzed by pessimistic headlines. Instead, you can take action and achieve a level of wealth, security and privacy that gives you the ability to spend your time as you see fit – without undue interference from any individual, government, business or interest-group.
Frankly, I cannot make this choice for you. But I seriously doubt you’d have read this far if you weren’t ready to take the next step. After all, you and I are cast from a different mold. We take direct responsibility for our happiness… our success… our future – without groveling for bailouts.
As the saying goes,
“Rich people have libraries – poor people have big screen TVs.”
Whichever one you choose, I won’t pass judgment. Or perhaps, like me you’ll have both. But knowledge will make the difference… and that’s what our Freedom Alliance has to offer.
I can personally guarantee: Whatever time or effort you invest to pursue your goals and pry yourself from the grip of a rigged, rotten system – will be returned to you ten-fold.
It doesn’t matter if you spend 10 minutes a month or a few weekends a year – you’ll get back what you put in many times over.
So let’s recap what I’m prepared to give you…

The two-year value is $5,698…
Over five years, it’s $14,245!
But as a Freedom Alliance Member, you can get all this at an incredible 84% discount. (You’ll save $1,654 this year… and more than $26,854 over the next 10 years.)

ALRIGHT… How Much Does it Cost?
Most people would expect to pay between $1,500 to $2,000 plus an annual fee of $300. But this is not about money. It’s a chance to bring us all together – in a way that would have been impossible just a few years ago.
For that reason, we are running the Freedom Alliance more like a traditional “non-profit” group – that reinvests its knowledge and resources in its own members.
And that’s why we’re NOT charging annual dues of $2,000… $1,000 or even $100…
The standard, one-time membership fee is $1,195. (That covers your initiation and dues for the first year and makes you a member of our private circle for as long as you care to stay with us.)
I think you’ll agree this is more than reasonable. At that rate, your membership will pay for itself… in less than one year.
Thereafter, it’s just $49 per year. As you can imagine, this barely covers our costs – printing, labor and shipping. (Heck, our monthly newsletter, The Sovereign Individual normally costs $49 a year by itself. As a Freedom Alliance member, you’ll get ten-times that.)
If you find yourself put off by this amount – no hard feelings. You should not feel “less than” or embarrassed. It just means this opportunity is not for you.
But if you agree with me that NOW is the time to prepare… and you’d like to lock-in this ridiculously low rate for lifetime access to our most sought-after books, conferences and digital audio recordings (for starters), here’s…
What to Expect…
I’ve told you much about how the Freedom Alliance works in this letter but the instant you apply, you’ll be sent the full details… our complete schedule of meet-ups and events… what you can expect when we meet and much more.
Right off the bat, you’ll get
- Our Online DVD from the Offshore Advantage Academy – taped on location in Los Cabos, Mexico just a couple days ago. (Including full transcripts and PowerPoint presentations.) Available in the next 1- 2 weeks. This crash-course is designed to get you up and running offshore in a matter of weeks - even if you've never set foot outside the continental U.S. before.
- Immediate access to ALL of my best-selling books and reports : The Passport Book, Where to Stash Your Cash Legally, Lawyer-Proof Your Life and The Expatriation Report – for starters.
- Complimentary lifetime subscription to The Sovereign Individual – our monthly newsletter that’s eagerly anticipated by 24,000 perpetual travelers, global investors and expats each month.
- Our latest round up of “Strategic Investment Reports” – covering subjects from real estate to short selling to expatriation.
- And a private password that gives you 24/7 access to our Freedom Alliance website, members-only message board and your complete Escape From America Tool-Kit.
Once you receive everything, take some time and look it over. Make sure you’re comfortable with it.
If as I suspect, you decide to stay on, wonderful!
And if not, then you’re protected by our…
Unconditional 100% Money-Back Guarantee
Take a full 60 days to sample everything The Freedom Alliance offers.
And if you’re not 100% thrilled… If you don’t think it will save you thousands of dollars you’d otherwise flush down the drain in taxes, financial mistakes and fees you don’t have to pay… If you don’t find yourself flush with powerful (yet prudent) investment options you can’t find anywhere else…
Just call 1-866-584-4096 and we will immediately refund every penny – no questions asked.
Best of all – you can keep everything else you’ve received, with my compliments… including the Online DVD from the 2009 Offshore Advantage Academy… live recordings of each session, the full PowerPoint Presentations and transcripts and digital copies of my books – a $546 value.
It’s my way of saying “thanks” for having the guts to look beyond the same old, tired, “dead-end” solutions being peddled by Wall Street
Why would I hand you the keys to my life’s work for free?
Because I’ve spent twelve years preparing for this day – reporting on investment and personal finance strategies the government hopes you’ll never hear about. Look… our team didn’t rise from a small, four-person group (crammed into a 10 by 15-foot office) to the far-flung and successful operation you see today by sheer luck or “gotcha” sales tactics.
It is my belief that YOU are the best judge of how to spend your time and money. And so I will respect your decision either way. |
And on a personal note…
Thanks again for your part in making it possible for me to do what I love here at The Freedom Alliance. And I hope you’ll be with us – prospering with ever-greater financial security and peace of mind – for years and years to come.
If you feel the same way, I strongly suggest you take advantage of this unprecedented offer and become a charter member of our Freedom Alliance today…
Sincerely,

Robert E. Bauman, J.D.
Chairman, The Sovereign Society Freedom Alliance
November 2009
