Patriot,
This is getting to be like a bad movie.
You know the ones - where the villain, dead and buried more times
than you can count, somehow mysteriously reappears in a place you
don't expect him?
Well, here comes . . . a new fight over a biometric National ID
card - and if you don't have the card, you can't work.
With your help, Campaign for Liberty has defeated the National ID
scheme in Congress, time and time again . . . but like the
villain in a bad movie, it just keeps coming back from the dead.
Last time, it was under the pretext of being a part of your
"vaccine passport."
Now, it's being pushed as a "national security" solution.
"Never let a crisis go to waste," as the statists say.
And National ID is a statist's dream - a biometric ID card for
every American.
Just last month, they tried to amend it into a "continuing
resolution" on the budget.
Thankfully, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) called it out and defeated
it in the Rules Committee, pointing out that Republicans were
breaking their promise not to legislate in budget bills.
But that doesn't mean it's dead . . . Senator Chuck Grassley
(R-IA) is pushing National ID in the Senate as we speak.
If you think the Democrats wouldn't support it, think again:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) supported National ID
in a "bipartisan initiative"
with former Senator John McCain years ago.
The continuing resolution expires one month from today, and the
statists will undoubtedly try to sneak National ID into the
budget once again.
That's why it's vital you sign your "No National ID" petition to
C4L to make your voice heard on this issue IMMEDIATELY.
Let me explain exactly what's at stake:
If passed, this dangerous scheme would require a new National ID
card that would:
*** Include biometric identification information, such as
fingerprints, retinal scans, or scans of veins on the back of
your hands, which could easily be used as a tracking device;
*** Be required for all U.S. workers regardless of place of
birth, making it illegal for anyone to hold a job in the United
States who doesn't obtain the ID card;
*** Require all employers to purchase an "ID scanner" to verify
the ID cards with the federal government. Every time any citizen
applies for a job, the government would know - and you can bet
it's only a matter of time until "ID scans" will be required to
make even routine purchases, as well.
That's why it's vital you sign your "No National ID" petition to
C4L right away.

Of course, the most dangerous aspect is the biometric tracking
technology, which would allow federal bureaucrats to track your
every move.
Allowing our government to have this much "prying power" in our
lives will ultimately result in the TOTAL loss of freedom.
This is exactly the type of battle that often decides whether a
country remains free or continues down a slide toward tyranny.
Government goon squads with all our personal information -
information they do not need and constitutionally should not have
- is a recipe for disaster for our nation.
You see, once "well-meaning" government bureaucrats know exactly
how we live our lives, it won't be long until they try to run
them.
In fact, it will only be a matter of time until they spend their
workdays making sure you and I don't go anywhere, read anything,
eat anything, or drink anything they think we "shouldn't be
allowed to."
This is George Orwell's 1984 on steroids!
Once that door opens, how long before the statists start telling
us what we can teach our children? Or where we can go to church?
Or what God we are "allowed" to worship?
This Dangerous ID scheme is typically buried in immigration
legislation.
Whatever you think of that issue, it's simply being used as
cover.
This fight is about being able to watch and control your every
move.
If there is good news to report, it's that, thanks to the help of
activists like you, liberty-minded Americans have been able to
render the Big Government politicians' National ID nearly
toothless in numerous states across the country.
And C4L has been vital in helping to hold off their attempt to
implement their cherished National ID scheme for the last few
years.
But the statists are growing nervous.
They know the American people are FED UP with TRILLION-dollar
deficits, massive new tax hikes, all-out assaults on our
God-given right to keep and bear arms, and their other attempts
to control every aspect of our lives.
They see your outrage is producing results, and many of their
outrageous schemes are failing.
The American people are rising up in state after state to say
"Enough," and brushfires of liberty are sweeping the nation.
So the statists are trying a "backdoor" scheme to impose more
control over the American people.
They're hoping that after a drawn-out fight to choose a new House
Speaker they can immediately declare a budget "emergency," stuff
the National ID proposal into the budget, and pass it before
anyone even knows it happened.
Well, you and I know better.
That's one reason why I'm counting on you to FIGHT back by
signing your "No National ID" petition to Congress IMMEDIATELY.

The only way to DEFEAT a new National ID card is to contact
Americans from coast-to-coast and explain EXACTLY what's at
stake.
They're not going to get the real story from the mainstream
media. And they're surely not going to get the real story from
the Washington establishment.
It's up to you and me to get our message out to as many folks as
possible before it's too late.
With your help, C4L can send powerful emails and run Internet
banner ads to alert liberty-loving Americans to the National ID
scheme that Chuck Grassley and Chuck Schumer and others want to
sneak into the next budget bill.
But I'm afraid that simply won't be enough.
Campaign for Liberty staff tell me if they pull out all the
stops, there's an additional twelve million folks they can reach
through targeted direct mail and phone programs.
Of course, such a massive grassroots mobilization program isn't
cheap - but it's the only way to stop this dangerous National ID
scheme from becoming the law of the land.
Patriot, with all the battles we're currently facing - from
stopping a Central Bank Digital Currency to ending the illegal
surveillance and indefinite detention of law-abiding Americans -
Campaign for Liberty simply doesn't have the resources to do
everything it takes to win this fight.
So please, sign your "No National ID" petition IMMEDIATELY!

And because this fight is so critical, I'm counting on you to
make a generous contribution of $100, $75, $50, $25 - or whatever
you can afford today - to help Campaign for Liberty DEFEAT the
statists' National ID scheme.
This is one fight you and I can't afford to lose.
Passage of the National ID card would virtually guarantee the
last vestiges of freedom we enjoy as Americans would be seriously
jeopardized.
If you and I don't defeat this scheme, who will?
There is already a strong, "bipartisan coalition" developing, and
the American people barely know what's going on.
That's why, in addition to your signed "No National ID" petition
- I hope you'll dig deep and make the most generous contribution
you can afford.

Some folks have already contributed as much as $500 to this
fight. Others have given $100 or $50.
But no matter how much you give, whether it's chipping in with
$10 or a larger contribution of $150, I guarantee your
contribution is urgently needed and will be deeply appreciated.
So please sign your "No National ID" petition and make the most
generous contribution you can afford to help Campaign for Liberty
DEFEAT the statists' National ID scheme.

Chairman
P.S. Right now, freedom-stealing statists from both parties are
using "national security" as their latest pretext to sneak
National ID through the House and Senate.
If passed, it would require every American to obtain a National
ID card to work legally in the U.S. - and you can bet it will
only be a matter of time until they're required even for simple
purchases.
So please sign your "No National ID" petition to make your voice
heard right away.

Please also make the most generous contribution you can afford
today to help fuel C4L's efforts.
