Patriot,

The target of the so-called "TikTok ban" isn't China.

It's you.

In a speech given yesterday as the U.S. House passed H.R. 7521,
the "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled
Applications Act," sponsor Mike Gallagher (R-WI) couldn't help
but admit the threat he really sees in TikTok:

It's "becoming the dominant news platform for Americans under
30."

Gallagher went on to falsely claim the bill will not "penalize"
American citizens. . .

Apparently blockading 170 million-plus Americans from a social
media platform they use for speech is not a penalty!

Let's be clear: Americans use TikTok as a platform for their
speech. Tens of millions of Americans use the platform to promote
and grow their small businesses.

It may not be your first choice (or mine), but more than 170
million Americans use TikTok - and if they can have their
platform snatched away from them, we're next.

That's what this campaign to ban apps is driving at. If they can
pass a ban on a social media platform - and get the courts to
condone this unconstitutional act - then they will have precedent
for trampling the speech of Americans for any so-called "national
security threat."

That's why it's so critical you contact your U.S. Senators right
now and tell them to vote NO on H.R. 7521! Click here to tell
your senators to OPPOSE this assault on free speech.

This whole affair is a masterful example of how the government
gets away with radical assaults on our constitutional rights,
including free speech:

- Create a fake emergency ("Can't explain - it's classified
information!")
- Stifle debate ("It's an emergency!")
- Whip up a scary foreign bogeyman ("The Chinese are stealing our
elections!")
- Demand immediate passage ("Our national security is at risk!")

Make no mistake: this is one of the most historic assaults on
free speech in American history.

And every member of Congress who insists this isn't an act of
censorship is either lying or ignorant.

And with real issues facing Congress - another budget showdown
looming and a FISA Section 702 renewal deadline - they decided to
ram this piece of legislation through in record time.

The bill was introduced Tuesday of last week, passed out of
committee last Thursday, and voted on the House floor yesterday.

What's scary is the power it gives to the president to shut down
a website or app he alone determines to be a threat to America.

The good news is we are already hearing this bill will have more
opposition in the Senate than it did in the House, where only 15%
of representatives voted no - most of them Democrats.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has indicated the
bill won't be fast-tracked like it was in the House. Several
senators have indicated their opposition.

But it's crucial you contact your U.S. Senators right now and
demand they vote NO! Click here to tell your senators to OPPOSE
this assault on free speech.

The very same D.C. Swamp creatures supporting this
liberty-shredding assault have repeatedly failed to rein in the
out-of-control mass warrantless surveillance schemes that violate
the privacy of hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Americans.

Now they are DESPERATE to ban a platform MORE THAN HALF of
Americans use - before those citizens even have the opportunity
to express their views.

Meanwhile, our federal government covertly buys your sensitive
personal information from all kinds of American companies -
including your Internet provider, your cell phone company, your
social media networks, and even your auto insurance company.

And they want you to simply accept THEIR flagrant trashing of the
Constitution they ALL swore to uphold!

Tell your U.S. Senators right now you are DONE with their games!
DEMAND they oppose H.R. 7521.

Patriot, please understand in these moments of very intense, very
sudden pressure, lawmakers turn to their constituent input
letters to understand what most people are most concerned about.

Your directive really does make a difference. Please take a
moment to send your directive to your U.S. Senators and bring
this tyrannical piece of legislation to a halt!

Thank you for your continued support in this critical battle.

For Liberty,

John McCardell
Executive Director, Campaign for Liberty

P.S. This is a massive fraud on the American people. The target
of their censorship isn't China - it's you and me. This is a
dangerous precedent that must be stopped.

This isn't an issue about a Chinese company. It's about the
government wanting to stifle your free speech.

Tell your U.S. Senators to vote NO on the ill-conceived H.R.
7521!
