Dear Patriot,

In 1916, the Irish chose Easter as a time to
rise up against British oppression and proclaimed themselves a
republic - a daring move inspired by a desire for liberty.

This Easter in the United States of America,
rather than an occupying one, we face a government that has grown
more and more oppressive daily - through extraordinary abuses of
the legal system, unprecedented assaults on the right to free
speech, and the ongoing exploitation of the coronavirus crisis to
push ill-tested drugs upon the population, destroy the fabric of
family and community life, and further degrade our civil
liberties.

Thomas Jefferson is often attributed for
having said, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." That
does not only mean we should be prepared to defend against
foreign invaders. Perhaps more importantly it means we must
retain the lessons from the original American and Irish revolts
and guard against a government that views the people as the
enemy.

Just a few years ago, Americans were told
they must not gather in groups and should stay home on Sunday.
Churches and businesses were closed or faced capacity limitations
because the government deemed them "non-essential." Many were
destroyed for good. Those who spoke out were smeared in the
media, those who perpetrated these acts of tyranny were
unpunished, and the legal machinery to do it again is still
intact and ready to be revved back up.

One hundred years ago, a young writer
Randolph Bourne said, "war is the health of the state," and he
lamented governments' success at taking authority and resources
during conflict. But Bourne further explained, "if the State's
chief function is war, then the State must suck out of the nation
a large part of its energy for its purely sterile purposes of
defense and aggression. It devotes to waste or to actual
destruction as much as it can of the vitality of the nation."

What we face today is not against foreign
enemies, but rather against our own government as they seek more
and more power, and as they suck out the vitality of our
citizens.

The actions being taken benefit the special
interests. They benefit the statists whose "expertise" is leading
to disaster. They benefit the mainstream media. They benefit the
wealthy.

The government is using every pretext -
NATO's war in Ukraine, the banking crises, threats of pandemics
to come, and its own contrived "war on domestic terrorism" - to
further gut our First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh,
Eighth, Ninth, AND Tenth Amendment rights. All under the guise of
"keeping us safe" from the threat du jour.

The state uses their power to take away our
freedoms. If we wish to survive as a free society, we must begin
to exercise some of that "eternal vigilance" Jefferson spoke of
against an ever more oppressive state - and that is exactly what
we intend to do. If the people demand change, the politicians
will listen.

These are truly somber times.

But please don't forget this Easter and
Passover holiday, like this time of year, is about renewal and
freedom.

I hope you have a peaceful weekend and are
able to spend some time with your loved ones.

For liberty,

Ron Paul
