A WORD FROM OUR ADVERTISERS

At Reason, Commerce, Justice & Free Beer, we let everyone’s voice be heard. We firmly believe that our Nation benefits when every perspective vigorously competes for a share in the marketplace of ideas. The People determine which ideas will prevail; we, the press, merely provide a forum for those ideas. And ideas begin with speech. That is is why we give ear to all.

Commercial messages are just as valuable as messages about politics, art, science or leisure. Although critics may complain that commercial speech may be crass and pedestrian compared to truly expressive speech, we believe that a speaker’s economic interests should not mute his message. Sometimes, a message that encourages a listener to buy a product can inform him as well. After all, why would a speaker lie in crafting his commercial message? Listeners will not spend their hard-earned money if they do not receive truthful information about a speaker’s product.

Today, we are happy to present a commercial message from the Economic Freedom Circle, a group dedicated to helping Americans everywhere cope with the pressures of productive life. We applaud the Economic Freedom Circle not only for its renowned products and services, but also its commitment to individual well-being. Through its commercial speech, the Economic Freedom Circle has changed thousands of lives for the better. Unlike so many other advertisements that bombard us every day, we believe that the Economic Freedom Circle’s commercial messages are both tasteful and informative. We hope that you enjoy the Circle’s message.

DO YOU HAVE A MONEY PROBLEM?

Are you one of the millions of Americans who think about money 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? On holidays? Do you think about money more than your spouse? More than your parents? Your children? Would you rather have $1,000,000 in cash rather than the promise of good health? Do you dream about money, cashier’s checks and bank bonds? Do you know your bank balance better than your nieces’ names? Do you jump up and down when you think you might receive a tax refund? Do you love the sight of a paycheck? Do you hate paying for things you didn’t plan for? If this sounds like you, you are not alone. You may be suffering from Money Mania, and we can help®.

You earn your money. It’s yours. Isn’t it about time to control your money and how it makes you feel? Wouldn’t you love to live your life without thinking about money every single day? Every hour? Wouldn’t you love to show up at your job without thinking: “The only reason I am here is because of the money?” Don’t despair! We can help®. Here at the Economic Freedom Circle, our trained financial psychology professionals can help you mentally master money. With 100% guaranteed1 I-Can-Do-It®2 software, you will learn how to think about other things each day. With 100% guaranteed3 Track-O-Meter®4 software, you will record your money-thought progress. You might start your program thinking about money 6500 times a day. At the end of Week 1, you could reduce that number to 6300.5 And with some hard work—and advice from our seasoned staff—you might enjoy a night’s sleep with only 500 money-related dreams6.

Just listen to some of our satisfied customers:

JILL7 (Oregon) : For years, I thought about my bank account every single hour. It was all I did. I saw the balance floating in front of my eyes, in my children’s faces, in the bathroom mirror, in my windshield, on the television set, on my hand. Then I called the Economic Freedom Circle. Their staff was so nice and friendly. With some hard work, I started thinking about money only once an hour. I feel so much better now! Thanks, Economic Freedom Circle!

FRED8 (New York) : I never really cared about anything in life except making lots of money. I made lots of money for 40 years, then I said to myself: “Maybe there are other things to think about?” So I called the Economic Freedom Circle. They really helped me understand that I could think about things other than money. It was amazing. I thought about taking a vacation once every 12 years and saying hello to my wife and son. I still think about money almost all the time, but now I allow myself three non-money-related thoughts per day. I am so happy! Thanks, Economic Freedom Circle!
