Patriot,

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) won the speakership because his
predecessor was cutting deals and making compromises instead of
advancing the agenda he campaigned on.

Now, Johnson is going down the same road to ruin, this time
compromising on your fundamental right to be free from government
surveillance in the absence of a warrant.

You see, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Security Act
(FISA) allows the Spy State to sweep up your personal
communications - your text messages, your emails, your Internet
browsing history, your phone calls - and use them against you.

And now we know this has been widely abused by the FBI, the NSA,
and other three-letter agencies in the Spy State.

The NSA's Office of the Inspector General reported several
instances of NSA agents who searched NSA databases for
information regarding their spouses and love interests.

I have to be blunt: If you and I walk away and stop fighting the
surveillance state on this issue, this could be the final nail in
the Fourth Amendment's coffin.

Click here right now to demand Speaker Johnson keep his word and
restore your Fourth Amendment rights!

Patriot, with expanded domestic drone use, Internet tracking
schemes, and ongoing phone metadata collection, our federal
government is gaining the technology to make any semblance of
citizen privacy a relic of yesteryear.

The "Stasi"-the East German Communist secret police of decades
past - could only wish to be so efficient in their record-keeping
on so-called problem citizens."

Back then, our federal government decried those tactics as
"Orwellian." Now, our government is adopting them, and the
statists simply tell you and me to "trust" them!

We can't trust them. Not at all.

In fact, the entire reason our Founders included the Bill of
Rights in the Constitution is they knew once politicians had
power, they would abuse it.

Not so long ago, you and I forced some of the worst provisions of
the so-called "PATRIOT Act" to temporarily expire.

But the data collection continued. So do the "secret warrants"
issued by the FISA courts.

And a few years ago, news broke that local governments were being
encouraged to use license plate scanners to keep track of
citizens who attend gun shows!

If we want to keep our freedom, we have to FIGHT BACK.

Speaker Johnson claimed to want to end the unconstitutional
practices in Section 702 before he became speaker. But now, he's
backsliding on that position.

In fact, he's told the chairs of two committees with completely
opposite bills - one to restore your constitutional rights, one
to erode them further - to "stop butting heads" and "quickly meld
their competing bills."

Patriot, you can't "compromise" between two things that are
complete and total opposites!

>>> The Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act
(H.R. 6570), which would require the government to get a warrant
before they spy on you and ban the Deep State from skirting the
law and purchasing your private data, which was passed by the
House Judiciary Committee;

versus

>>> The inappropriately named FISA Reform and Reauthorization Act
(H.R. 6611), which would actually expand the government's
unconstitutional spy powers, which was passed by the House
Intelligence Committee.

Mike Johnson needs to do the right thing: put the Protect Liberty
Act on the floor, intact, and send the Surveillance State
Reauthorization Act to the place where bills go to die!

Speaker Johnson is still new to the job, and by all accounts
having a rough go. All the more reason he should listen to the
people's voice: Send your Directive to him right now!

Once you've sent your directive to House Speaker Mike Johnson, I
hope you'll also give us the ability to put more muscle behind it
by supporting Campaign for Liberty with your most generous
contribution.

Campaign for Liberty uses your support not only to rally more
patriots, but to mobilize and pressure key members of Congress,
not just in Washington but in their home districts.

This targeted strategy enables us to have far greater impact than
your typical Washington "think tank": we don't just deliver
petitions; we bring pressure and political pain.

It's a tactic that has worked to tremendous effect over the
years.

And right now, House Speaker Mike Johnson is VERY pain sensitive.


While the Deep State has influence, our strength is in our
numbers. But we can't do it without your support.

Can you give a gift of $25, $50, or even $100 today? I can
promise you that unlike some other groups I don't care to name,
Campaign for Liberty uses every dollar you contribute wisely.

Thanks for all you do for Liberty,

John McCardell
Executive Director
Campaign for Liberty

P.S. Even if you've already called, sending your Directive to
Speaker Mike Johnson is a critical follow-up. Multiple staffers
may hear the same message, and the more the better.

They already fumbled this issue in December and punted it into
spring - but we will NOT wait silently. Contact Speaker Johnson
right now!

And then, if at all possible, make your most generous
contribution to help Campaign for Liberty hold Speaker Johnson
accountable.

With your help, we can prove his path of least resistance is to
pass the Judiciary Committee's bill to rein in the out-of-control
Surveillance State.

Even if you can only chip in $50, $25, or $10, every bit will
help us reach more patriots and mobilize more pressure on the
House Speaker to restore our liberty.
