He posted a&nbsp; message on the organization&#039;s Web site urging Liberty Dollar supporters&nbsp; to respond to the raid by donating to Paul, saying that &quot;in light of&nbsp; this assault on our financial freedom, it is clear that we need Ron Paul&nbsp; to lead this country more than ever.&quot;[/FONT][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
