Patriot,

Thanks to your emails, postcards, and phone calls, you and I scored two major victories in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), in that neither the free speech-killing RESTRICT Act, nor any digital ID scheme, was included in the versions passed in the House and Senate.

But the Senate version did not include the prohibition against indefinite detention of Americans without trial.

We can WIN, or LOSE, on all three of these issues when the bill goes to “conference committee.”

This is the special committee created when the House and Senate pass different versions of a bill. Conferees from each house come together to create the exact same bill which must then be passed by each house.

Right now, the momentum is on our side. For the first time, you and I were able to force passage on the prohibition on indefinite detention in the House. This passed the Senate in previous terms.

And it has support in both parties so . . .

We CAN win this if you continue to take action and DEMAND your lawmakers support the repeal of indefinite detention in the NDAA!

But I’m concerned, Patriot, we could also LOSE if too few patriots keep up the pressure. Historically, the worst things can happen in conference committee – even adding new elements to the bill that were in neither the original House- nor Senate-passed versions.

It’s not uncommon to see spending bills that spend more money than either the House or the Senate voted to pass.

Congress thinks you and I aren’t watching anymore after the initial bill passes so they always try to slip in pet projects and more spending.

We could even see the RESTRICT Act appear in the “conference” version of the NDAA.

That’s why it’s crucial you click here and send an e-postcard to your representative and senators DEMANDING they repeal the indefinite detention of Americans without charges – and keep the RESTRICT Act and any digital ID scheme OUT.

Remember, these are bipartisan issues with support from lawmakers in both parties.

But we have to contact them and all of their colleagues to keep the pressure on.

Your e-postcard – combined with those of all the other supporters of liberty out there – will help prove to politicians they better defend our rights if they know what’s good for them.

But I hope you won’t stop there, Patriot. With your support, Campaign for Liberty can do a lot more to flood Congress with more postcards, emails, and phone calls.

When they return after Labor Day, we need to be ready to drop thousands upon thousands of petitions and postcards in their offices.

And we need to make sure more patriots are aware of these important issues.

Identifying and reaching out to bring in new members and supporters isn’t free. Neither is mobilizing and delivering your petitions to the Capitol.

We’re waiting to find out which senators and representatives will be appointed to the conference committee – and then we’ll need to target grassroots pressure on them.

That could happen at any time, and we simply must be ready for this emergency mobilization.

Congress may be in recess until after Labor Day, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t finagling behind the scenes and out of the public eye.

The more resources we have, the more we can do, so if possible, after contacting your representative and senators, follow up by making your most generous donation today, whether it be $250 or $100 or $25, 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.

Sign your e-postard now and tell your representative and 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 language to promote a Digital ID.

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!
