"When you sit down to eat with a ruler, consider carefully what
is before you; and put a knife to your throat if you are a man
given to appetite. Do not desire his delicacies, for they are
deceptive food."
-Proverbs 23

Patriot,

Recently, a number of civil liberties groups were invited by
representatives of various Deep State agencies to meet and "share
our concerns" about Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act, which the FBI has been using to unlawfully spy
on millions of Americans.

Campaign for Liberty was asked if we'd like an invitation to
attend.

We declined. No good can possibly come of this meeting.

The FBI and the Justice Department are currently waging a
campaign against the American people to suppress political
dissent. They're spying on you, me, and millions of other
Americans.

In many cases, they're bringing politically motivated charges
against law-abiding people - not only political activists but
concerned parents - waging a brutal war of terror against
patriots of every type.

There can be no compromise with these entities. They have shown
time and again they absolutely cannot be entrusted with unlawful
spying powers and cannot be reformed.

And when grassroots leaders meet with "important" people in
Washington, they begin to feel important themselves and before
they know it, they're compromising.

Right now, we have the Deep State trembling their crown jewel of
spying on Americans might be taken away. Section 702 is set to
expire at the end of this year, and you and I have a chance to
drive a stake through its heart!

Even Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), who recently said "I will only
support the reauthorization of Section 702 of FISA if there are
significant reforms," appears to be changing his tune after
"hearing their concerns."

This is the same song and dance we've gotten for years.

When the falsely-named "PATRIOT Act" was up for renewal, people
in Washington talked about reforms for privacy protection - and
then passed the even more privacy-invading, falsely-named "USA
FREEDOM Act."

That's exactly how FISA Section 702 became the new preferred tool
for mass spying on law-abiding Americans!

And when one of the U.S. "intelligence" agencies breaks the law,
we are told the offenders will be re-trained and re-educated
about the law, but then they go right out and do it all over
again!

Section 702 is beyond reform. It must be repealed, period. And we
must keep the pressure on Congress to follow through.

Tell Congress right now: REPEAL, not reform, Section 702 of the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act!

Even the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, a Deep State
institution if there ever was one, two weeks ago raised an
alarming history of FBI search violations, including illegal
searches on Americans.

But of course, it recommended renewing Section 702 anyway.

Patriot, the Deep State considers every unconstitutional,
extra-legal method they use "the most important" and they claim
everything they do is necessary for "national security" because
they always get away with that excuse!

The fact is, the Deep State is hell-bent on collecting every
American's emails, phone records, text messages, Internet
searches, instant messages, online purchases, and social media
posts.

And they're not letting anything get in their way.

As admitted in the news, the NSA "deliberately ignored
restrictions on their authority to spy on Americans multiple
times in the past decade."

Regardless of what some other civil liberties organizations might
do, Campaign for Liberty will always fully defend your rights and
freedoms.

We will not compromise your rights. Least of all to sit down with
the Constitution's worst enemies.

This is a fight for the very future of our Republic.

No government in the history of mankind - not even the Communist
East German Stasi of yesteryear - has ever held the massive
spying power our federal government holds over law-abiding U.S.
citizens today.

No government in world history that's ever sought this power has
even been able to avoid the temptation for abuse . . . and the
Biden regime doesn't even pretend to resist this temptation.

Remember, the Biden Justice Department believes the biggest
threat to America isn't a foreign government - it's the American
people.

And what they mean, of course, is those guilty of "wrongthink,"
as Orwell put it. People like you and me.

That's why it's so critical you DEMAND Congress let Section 702
of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act expire.

There are literally thousands of examples of agency abuse. The
FBI has become so emboldened, they're using DMV photos to launch
a massive facial recognition database! They are skirting the law
by buying your internet history from the Big Tech companies.

This should be no surprise. Men aren't angels. Neither are
politicians, government bureaucrats, or AI algorithms.

Our Founders understood liberty cannot exist without privacy. As
Benjamin Franklin stated, "Those who would give up essential
Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither
Liberty nor Safety."

But today, our Constitution's Fourth Amendment - which protects
American citizens' right to privacy from government - is hanging
by nothing but a thread.

The protections you and I have against the actions of evil men
holding the reins of our own government are dropping like flies.

You and I must take a stand.

Please tell Congress right now to STOP THE SURVEILLANCE STATE.

And if you can, please also make a contribution of $100, $50,
$25, $10, or whatever you can afford to help us inform and
mobilize more patriots for this fight.

For Liberty,

John McCardell
Executive Director
Campaign for Liberty

P.S. Section 702 of FISA - which allowed the massive collection
of innocent Americans' emails, texts, phone calls, and online
chats to continue - is set to expire at the end of this year.

If you and I turn up enough heat on Congress to stop
reauthorization, I'm convinced we can bring the statists'
domestic spying programs to a crashing halt.

That's why I'm counting on you to please sign the STOP THE
SURVEILLANCE STATE petition and make a contribution of $10, $25,
$50, $100, or more TODAY!
