Patriot,

We like to think we live in "the land of the free."

But the truth is, our lives and our businesses are tightly
constrained by millions upon millions of government rules and
regulations.

For decades now, bureaucratic red tape has bound the hands of
hardworking Americans and entrepreneurs preventing them from
reaching their full potential.

The U.S. government has an "alphabet agency" for just about
everything. The nanny state feels like it has to watch, track,
and control virtually everything we do.

In 1936, the number of pages in the Federal Register - the main
source for federal regulations -- was about 2,600 pages long.
Today, the Federal Register is about 200,000 pages long.

In fact, studies show the economic cost of federal regulations
soared well over $1.5 trillion every year.

These days, Congress leaves lawmaking up to Washington D.C.'s
permanent bureaucracies while they play partisan political games.

With this power, government bureaucrats issue regulations
carrying the force of law without your elected representatives in
Congress ever having to be put on the record with a vote on them.

That's why my son Rand introduced the REINS (Regulations from the
Executive In Need of Scrutiny) Act to force votes in Congress -
without the possibility of filibusters - on any new major
regulation.

And in the House, this crucial piece of legislation may receive a
vote as early as next week.

With your help today, you and I can help him put an end to this
practice and restore the constitutional balance of power between
Congress and the executive.

Please read John's letter below for more information on how you
can be a part of this vital effort to REIN in Big Government!

For Liberty,

Ron Paul

Patriot,

This week, the U.S. House was scheduled to vote on an important
bill Campaign for Liberty has promoted for years.

The "Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny Act" -
more commonly known as the REINS Act - would limit the Biden
administration's (and future administration's) rule-making power
and restore legislative power to elected representatives in
Congress.

As you may have heard, chaos erupted in the House yesterday when
conservatives revolted against House leadership over Speaker
Kevin McCarthy's debt ceiling deal and other broken promises he
had made to secure the votes to become Speaker.

Nearly one-dozen Republicans blocked a procedural vote - a tactic
that hasn't been used in over 20 years - effectively shutting
down consideration of any legislation until their demands are
met.

We don't know how or when this battle will end, but whenever
House business resumes, we need to make sure this urgently needed
bill advances.

If passed, the REINS Act would prohibit out-of-control government
bureaucrats from imposing sweeping new regulations on American
citizens without a congressional vote.

Any new regulation estimated to total $100 million or more in
economic impact (to include the worst of the worst) would have to
be voted on and affirmed by Congress.

In other words, the BATFE, EPA, FDA, IRS, FCC, and HHS can make
all the recommendations they want, but their most draconian power
grabs will mean absolutely nothing unless passed by Congress with
a majority vote in both chambers - the way laws were meant to be
passed.

There, you and I will have the chance to mobilize to DEFEAT them
- or hold politicians who vote for them accountable!

In effect, passage of this one simple Act would strike a massive
blow to government of the bureaucrats, by the bureaucrats, and
for the bureaucrats.

But without knowing when the House might return to regular order,
I'm afraid you and I must act fast.

Won't you please take just a moment to sign your "PASS the REINS
Act NOW!" petition to the House and Senate right away?

The Biden administration is working at warp speed to bypass
Congress and abuse the regulatory power it already has.

A ban on gas stoves, for example, could never pass an up-or-down
vote in Congress. But the Biden regime wants to impose a ban by
administrative rule. (It's since retreated to only call for a ban
that would make half of today's gas stoves illegal to buy.)

Just yesterday, Biden's plan to crack down on gas furnaces was
revealed, and if it goes into effect, it will leave many already
struggling Americans literally and figuratively out in the cold
should they ever need to replace their current units.

And Biden's ATF unilaterally imposed a rule that required gun
owners to register, remove, or destroy their pistol braces.

That's why it's so critical Congress pass the REINS Act. The
basic idea of the REINS Act-that Congress should vote on the
major rules that carry significant impact-is rooted in the core
constitutional principle of self-government through elected
representatives, not unelected bureaucrats.

Just by having a recorded vote on the REINS Act, we will put The
Swamp's vulnerable defenders in a political bind.

Lawmakers in swing districts will be digging their political
graves if they go on record AGAINST legislation to stop
unaccountable Washington, D.C. bureaucrats from running our
lives.

It's a win-win situation.

We must DEMAND a roll call vote on this critical legislation as
soon as possible!

And then, if you can, I hope you'll also make your most generous
contribution - $200, if you can possibly afford it.

I know that's a lot to ask for.

But Patriot, should you and I succeed in passing the REINS Act,
it would be a massive blow against Big Government.

Bloated and unconstitutional federal bureaucracies will see much
of their power stripped - paving the way for their outright
ELIMINATION.

Of course, if $200 is just too much, I hope you'll agree to a
contribution of $100 or $50.

So please sign your petition and make your most generous
contribution of $200, $100, or $50 IMMEDIATELY!

Thanks for all you do for Liberty,

John McCardell
Executive Director
Campaign for Liberty

P.S. As you know, politics is a numbers game, so the more
petitions we can gather, the BIGGER of an impact we can make.

But digital grassroots mobilization isn't free.

So could you agree to a contribution of $200? If so, that would
help us pay to gather thousands of petitions.

Even if you can only give $100, $50, or less, every bit helps
make the difference.

Can you chip in? Can you help us create a massive grassroots
firestorm to REIN IN BIG GOVERNMENT?
