Patriot,
With the U.S. Senate scrambling to finish the National Defense
Authorization Act before they adjourn for their summer vacation,
senators are now sifting through hundreds of amendments (987 to
be exact), and real-time updates are currently extremely
difficult to get.
They've already voted to close debate on the bill, but we don't
know when they'll bring it to the Senate floor for a final vote,
and we don't know yet which amendments will get a vote, because
it's all in the hands of Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
With so much happening at once, we must focus on our top three
goals in the NDAA:
1. Repeal the provision allowing for the indefinite detention of
American citizens without due process. This is a flagrantly
unconstitutional and dangerous provision that allows the
president to throw people he deems "enemies of the state" into
prison without ever being charged with a crime. No president
should ever have that power.
2. Stop the free-speech-killing RESTRICT Act from being snuck
into the NDAA. This dangerous bill would give the government the
ability to target anyone they deem as a national security risk -
regular people like you and me - and allow them to remotely
access every piece of electronics we own, from our computers and
cell phones to the camera on the front porch. And if they find
you in violation, the government can seize your property, fine
you one million dollars, and imprison you for 20 years.
3. Stop any language that would implement or even encourage a
"digital ID" scheme. One such proposal would create a new federal
bureaucracy, an "Improving Digital Identity Task Force," to lay
the groundwork for a Digital ID scheme - a step down the road to
a national ID system and a Central Bank Digital Currency - and
create a grant program to hand out cash to states willing to
implement the scheme at the state level.
Since the status of these amendments are all in flux, please call
your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121 right away.
Here is a simple script you can use when calling your Senators:
Hello, this is [your name] from [your city and state]. I'm
calling to tell you to support an amendment to the National
Defense Authorization Act to eliminate the provision that allows
for indefinite detention of American citizens without due
process.
I'm also asking you to OPPOSE any amendments regarding the
RESTRICT Act, which would eviscerate the First Amendment rights
of Americans, and the Improving Digital Identity Act or any other
language that would implement or even encourage the creation of a
government digital ID, which would infringe on Americans privacy.
Please advise the senator of my comments. Thank you.
Your calls made a huge difference in changes to the NDAA in the
House.
And thanks to your continued efforts to contact Congress, the
Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act was advanced in the House
this week on a 30-0 committee vote!
We need to keep up the pressure.
We won in House. Now let's win in the Senate!
Call your Senators RIGHT NOW at (202) 224-3121.
The votes could come at any time, so don't hesitate.
And if possible, after you've contacted the Senate, please follow
up with a contribution to Campaign for Liberty - your support
makes it possible for C4L to increase the pressure by bringing
this message to more patriots like you.

Identifying and reaching out to bring in new members and
supporters isn't free. Neither is mobilizing and delivering your
petitions to the Capitol.
But the more resources we have, the more we can do, so if
possible, after contacting your senators, follow up by chipping
in a contribution to help us win this battle for good!
Thanks for all you do for Liberty,
John McCardell
Executive Director
Campaign for Liberty
P.S. Thanks to your support, we've made it farther than we ever
have to restore a fundamental constitutional right of Americans.
Let's do everything we can to win more victories in the National
Defense Authorization Act.
Tell your senators to 1. Support a ban on indefinite detention of
Americans, 2. Reject the RESTRICT Act from being inserted into
the NDAA, and 3. Outright say "no" to any form of Digital ID.
Congress is anxious to get out of Washington, D.C., but you and I
can't let them RAM through legislation that takes away our rights
and liberties.
Call both of your U.S. Senators now at 202-224-3121, and then,
please consider chipping in a donation of $10, $25, $50, or more
to help us keep the pressure on Congress to restore the
Constitution!
