Patriot,

The FBI is simply out of control.

Last week, the government released a heavily redacted secret
court review from April of 2022 about how the FBI has abused and
misused the secret "Section 702" database to illegally gather
data on American citizens.

That's a lot of secrecy, but ultimately just enough transparency
to now reveal the FBI abused the Section 702 database a whopping
278,000 times in just over one year. . .

. . . to illegally gather evidence against Americans, including
(but not limited to) crime victims, January 6 suspects, people
arrested at protests, church leaders, law-abiding gun owners, and
in one case, 19,000 donors to one candidate for Congress.

The secret Section 702 database was added to the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act in 2008 and allows for warrantless
surveillance and intelligence gathering of non-Americans based on
mere suppositions rubber-stamped by a secret court.

In other words, there is no real due process.

But it should come as no surprise the NSA and FBI abuse it to spy
on American citizens as they search for some reason . . . ANY
reason . . . to go after citizens while torching their
unalienable rights.

As Campaign for Liberty noted recently, the report on the FBI's
Trump-Russia collusion investigation revealed the entire
investigation was based on claims the FBI knew to be false. Yet
they went forward and brazenly interfered in the 2016
presidential election and attempted to change its outcome.

But the FBI isn't just spying on Trump and congressional
candidates. They're spying on ordinary Americans like you and me.


And now it's time to make the Deep State stop!!

Tell Congress: Hold the FBI Accountable for Their Crimes Against
America.

The Biden administration has openly said they believe the
greatest threat to America is not Russia, not China, but
"homegrown domestic terrorism" - which in their view includes
anyone who disagrees with them.

Recall that in late 2021, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued
a memo calling for the FBI to investigate parents attending
school board meetings as potential domestic terrorists.

On top of that, several FBI agents recently testified before
Congress that they were stripped of security clearances and pay
for bringing concerns about FBI abuses of power to their
superiors. In doing so, the FBI sent a clear message to their own
employees not to question any misconduct they may see.

One whistleblower raised the alarm after the FBI ended his
critical investigations involving sexual crimes against children
and was ordered to record the license plates of parked cars
outside of school board meetings instead.

And as if that's not bad enough, he was told his critical
investigations were "not to be resourced" anymore!

That's right. The FBI deemed the identification of innocent
parents at school board meetings more important than
investigating sexual crimes against children.

You just can't make this stuff up.

Their transgressions go on and on and on . . .

In 2021, Mark Houck was arrested for pushing an abortion clinic
escort. Local officials declined to prosecute, but the Department
of Justice upped the ante significantly.

"A SWAT team of about 25 came to my house with about 15 vehicles
and started pounding on our door," Houck's wife, Ryan-Marie Houck
said.

"They said they were going to break in if he didn't open it. And
then they had about five guns pointed at my husband, myself, and
basically at my kids," she added.

What came out during Houck's trial a few months ago was a video
the FBI possessed, showing the clinic escort was verbally
assaulting Houck's 12-year-old son, and Houck shoved the escort
to protect his son who was only praying.

But the FBI thought it was fine to send in an armed SWAT team and
confront a peaceful family.

Despite losing the case, the Department of Justice and the FBI
never apologized nor fired, let alone reprimanded, anyone.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the Select Subcommittee on
the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and numerous other
Republicans have called for rogue federal agencies to be
de-funded for these incidents and many more.

House Republicans pledged to hold the FBI accountable. But
almost six months after taking over the House, there has been
little movement.

Now you and I need to hold them to their promises. Tell Congress:
Hold the FBI Accountable for Their Crimes Against America.

As journalist Glenn Greenwald noted last night, every year the
DOJ's Inspector General's office issues a report detailing at
great length the severe abuses of power the FBI commits for
political ends.

But what changes?

From its inception with J. Edgar Hoover at the helm to the
present day with Jim Comey and Christopher Wray as directors, the
FBI has been a rogue agency manipulating the political affairs in
Washington.

But Washington politicians aren't their only target. They're
after you and me, too.

Now it is time to see whether the Republican politicians in
Washington are serious about reining in these rogue agencies or
if they are full of hot air.

Your representative needs to know that we, the People, recognize
the FBI's extraordinary abuses of power for what they are.

So please click here to demand your representative in Congress
hold the FBI accountable for their misconduct.

Every time they get caught breaking the law or cutting corners,
we get a weak apology and promises to clean things up internally
. . . and then they do it all over again without real
repercussions.

The violators normally get away with the lies and deceit . . .
and eventually walk away with their government pensions.

But the Republican-controlled House controls the purse strings.

All the House has to do is refuse to put funding for the FBI in
the budget.

Patriot, I'll say it again because it is so important. . .

The House does not need to get majority agreement in the Senate
and a signature from the president on a stand-alone bill to hold
the FBI accountable. They can simply refuse to provide funding.

Whether they de-fund the FBI entirely or just make deep enough
cuts in the right places, it's what they need to do - and
promised to do.

Since they've promised that, it's up to us to hold them
accountable to their promises.

Tell your representative right now: Hold the FBI accountable for
their crimes and take away their funding.

It's critical we demand our politicians take action, because they
are each counting how many constituents are speaking out.

If you and I don't speak out and Congress fails to hold this
rogue agency to account now, they will grow even more emboldened
in their targeting of innocent Americans.

So please send your directive to Congress now.

And if you can, please support Campaign for Liberty with a
generous contribution of $25 or $50 today so we can turn up the
heat on this critical issue. If you can afford $1,000 or $10 or
something in between, we can continue to inform and mobilize more
patriots and apply pressure on Congress.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul

P.S. The FBI, since J. Edgar Hoover took the reins nearly 100
years ago through the present, has been fraught with corruption
and abuse - and has never been held accountable. Congress MUST
hold them accountable - and we must hold Congress accountable.

Tell Congress to hold the FBI accountable and take away their
funding. Sign your directive to your representative now and
demand they do their job and hold the FBI accountable for their
actions and illegal activities.
