Patriot,

I've been putting off writing you this as
long as I could, but I can't wait any longer.

When Congress returns from its August recess,
you and I will be facing an onslaught from the gun-grabbers in
Washington, D.C. - the likes of which we haven't seen in years!

But the truth is, it's
far from the only critical battle raging right now.

Please read my letter below and take action
right away.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman





Dear Patriot:

These letters haven't been easy for me to
write you.

But quite frankly, I'm still worried.

Money is tight at Campaign for Liberty these
days. Too tight. And I truly need your help right away.

Despite the initial response from supporters
across the country, I still need to raise another $32,067 to
close the gap.

We've certainly had our hands full through
2019 so far and it's not slowing down.

There's been BOTH parties' ongoing push for
"Red Flag" Gun Confiscation. Not only that, but the response of
some Big Government Republicans (like Senators Lindsey Graham and
Mitt Romney) to U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's so-called
"Green New Deal," has been to back a "Cap-and-Tax"-style
compromise deal!

Patriot, there's also our fight to STOP any
National ID Database scheme from being included in any
"immigration reform" bill -- which is a constant threat.

And, of course, with the president growing
increasingly frustrated with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome
Powell, Audit the Fed could finally become reality -- if you and
I can keep the pressure on.

With the fight for 2020 already heating up --
and calls for 100% government run healthcare, "free" college, tax
hikes, Australian-style gun confiscation, economic socialism,
reparations -- I've never seen the Big Government Left's forces
more brazen.

Considering the gravity of these times, I
believe all of us who believe in liberty, limited government, and
our constitutional freedoms have a duty to fight back.

But without your action today, I'm worried we
may be unable to muster little more than a whimper based on our
current financial situation.

I have only a few days to come up with
$32,067 -- or be forced to severely curtail all of Campaign for
Liberty's legislative programs.

I'm sure there's nothing the Deep State and
Big Government politicians in BOTH parties would love to see
more.

As I sat down to write you this letter, I
couldn't help but think back to all you and I have accomplished
over the years.

Not long ago, the Liberty Movement was widely
derided and scoffed at by the media and politicians alike.

Today, you and I have become arguably the
biggest roadblock there is to the statists' dream of transforming
our country from a constitutional Republic to a Euro-socialist
"paradise."

Just think about how much has changed -- and
how much progress we've made -- in the 11+ years since my 2008
presidential run.

Back then, GOP members of Congress just
simply fell in line for then-President George W. Bush's so-called
"PATRIOT" Act, the "No Child Left Behind" Act, and Medicare Part
D, and DOUBLING the national debt during his presidency.

Against the will of millions of grassroots
activists all over the country, Congress voted to RAM through
President Bush's $700 BILLION bank bailout and his bailout of the
auto companies.

And the late-Senator John McCain ultimately
became the GOP's 2008 presidential nominee -- all while running
on a platform that included expanded war all over the globe,
endless government spying, "Cap and Tax," and "Comprehensive
Immigration Reform" (complete with a National ID Scheme)!

Like many folks all over the country, I
realized that if something didn't change -- FAST -- there would
not be much left of the free country you and I love.

That's why I decided to run for president in
2008 -- to ensure the principles of liberty the Founders laid
down for us in the U.S. Constitution were given a voice.

But never in my wildest dreams could I have
envisioned the political EXPLOSION you and I would set off.

After Rudy Giuliani viciously attacked me on
the presidential debate stage in South Carolina, the media tried
to laugh my campaign off as a joke.

But their laughter turned to fear when they
saw the grassroots energy exploding behind my campaign!

In fact, in one "money bomb" that year, my
supporters gave over $6 million in one day -- and that was with
very few of the big gifts establishment campaigns count on!

The media and the Big Government
establishment became so afraid of our message, they began looking
for ways to shut me out of the debates!

They had taken it for granted that Americans
had given up on the Constitution. They believed nobody really
believed in limited government anymore.

They believed nobody cared if government took
their money and used it to bail out failing Wall Street fat-cats.


And they thought Americans wanted to be spied
on -- and the grassroots were "too stupid" to understand the
Federal Reserve system or monetary policy.

My campaign proved them wrong, wrong, wrong!

But the truth is, it wasn't really me at all
who accomplished that. It was you and good folks like you from
all over the country who chose to take a stand for liberty.

Of course, the Big Government establishment
thought it was all over when my campaign wound down. They
thought we were just a passing fad.

But thanks to your support, our campaign has
pressed on -- although today, we're running it from the
"outside."

When a few of my trusted staff were trying to
decide the name of the group we would form out of my 2008
campaign, I said:

"I've been campaigning for liberty for over
30 years. Why don't we call the group 'Campaign for Liberty?'"

Over the past eleven years, you and I have
racked up some tremendous victories together.

When I ran for president in 2008, I was
arguably the only voice for liberty in the U.S. House or Senate.
Needless to say, it was lonely being out-voted 434-1 on a regular
basis!

But in 2010, my son, Senator Rand Paul,
shocked the political world by defeating an opponent handpicked
by Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in a hard-fought GOP primary,
ultimately winning that U.S. Senate seat.

As a Senator, Rand continues to be a strong
voice for liberty. There are a handful of other U.S. Senators
who'll often follow his lead on critical battles as well. In the
U.S. House, we have Congressmen Thomas Massie (R-KY) and several
others.

Every election since my 2008 presidential
run, the Liberty Movement has gained new allies and our numbers
continue to grow -- both in Congress and in state legislatures
nationwide.

And on policy, we're punching far above our
weight.

In 2008, discussion of the Federal Reserve
was hardly a blip on the political radar screen.

Frankly, I was astounded at the response I
received on the campaign trail in 2008 when I explained how the
Fed's print-now, ask-questions-later policies were at the root of
everything we still hate about Washington, D.C.

In 2012, just four years later, we passed
Audit the Fed through the U.S. House with an overwhelming
three-fourths margin!

Today, even with Nancy Pelosi holding the
reins as Speaker of the House, I believe we can pass it with
votes from both parties -- if we succeed in forcing a vote.

And we're only a handful of votes shy of
passing it in the U.S. Senate.

Thanks to Campaign for Liberty supporters'
help, we've also:

*** STOPPED every attempt (by BOTH parties)
to RAM their National ID database scheme into law. If passed,
this scheme would allow government to create a database of EVERY
American citizen -- including everything from gun ownership
records and political activity, to love interests.

*** Stood strong against "Cap and Tax" and
all other faux "environmental" schemes. Sadly, with the advent
of the so-called "Green New Deal," this scheme is back -- and is
now being touted by both parties as a "compromise!"

*** Stymied bipartisan rushes to gun control
in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut and Parkland, Florida
tragedies.

*** Created a massive grassroots backlash
against government spying programs. This battle is still ongoing
-- and I dare say, it's a fight we're beginning to win with the
American people!

Of course, our progress hasn't come without a
price.

For nearly three years, Campaign for Liberty
was involved in a standoff with the IRS that was demanding we
turn over the names, addresses, and other personal information of
our most generous supporters.

Even in the face of the crippling daily fines
the IRS was threatening us with, I told our staff to give them
nothing.

I knew that publicizing our most generous
supporters' names would open them up to political backlash from
power-hungry bureaucrats. That legal standoff only ended last
year when the IRS finally notified us they were backing down.

Now, I'm concerned it could be back as the
Attorneys General from New York and New Jersey have sued the IRS,
DEMANDING federal judges force them to crack down on us.

If the Trump administration doesn't fight,
we'll be right back where we started -- receiving threatening
letters with government bureaucrats demanding we hand over
confidential information.

On top of all of that, we've had our hands
full this Congress, and the battle for 2020 is already heating
up.

As you've seen, the Big Government Left is
busy crafting an admittedly socialist agenda that sometimes has
me wondering what country I live in. It's an agenda that
includes gun control, the "Green New Deal," massive tax and
spending increases, reparations, "free" college, court-packing,
and assaults on our First Amendment right to free speech.

They're doing all of this because they think
2020 will be a cakewalk. You see, they trust the polls --
especially the ones that show them winning.

And the less opposition they run into about
this nonsense now, the more weak-kneed members of Congress start
to cave -- even many who should be our allies.

That's a recipe for DISASTER -- not just for
when the smoke clears from the 2020 elections, but for now too.

Just consider the growing push by BOTH
parties for gun control and Big Government "Green" legislation!
These politicians who back this madness think they'll be rewarded
-- not just by our media elites -- but by the American people
too!

In short, they think relative silence from
the American people equals consent to these schemes.

I know that's not true. But as it stands
now, I don't have the resources to create the ROAR of opposition
both parties need to hear.

Unless I can count on your generous support
today!

As I mentioned, Campaign for Liberty's bank
accounts are dangerously low.

Virtually every organization in Washington,
D.C. runs into financial rough patches now and then. The
difference is, other organizations can often call up a wealthy
donor or two and ask for some help.

Sometimes that comes with strings attached --
like the insistence that an organization "go easy" on a member of
Congress who's recently become a traitor.

In forming Campaign for Liberty, I made a
pledge to myself, my staff, and our supporters that we would
never play those Washington, D.C. games.

We're not interested in grabbing nice news
headlines or getting invited to the fancy cocktail parties with
the media, sleazy lobbyists, and politicians. We're interested
in standing strong for principle -- and making a difference.

That's why, for the most part, Campaign for
Liberty is still fueled by the good folks who helped my 2008
presidential campaign raise $6 million -- $100, $50, and $35 at a
time.

So after raising such a massive amount of
money in one day, it seems like raising $32,067 in a few days
shouldn't be that tough, right?

The answer is, no. It won't be that hard --
if I can count on your generosity.

Often times, when Republicans hold the White
House and/or Congress, many grassroots patriots -- many of them
solid pro-liberty folks -- will stop giving as much as they used
to.

Some "experts" say that's because the
grassroots get frustrated with the GOP's broken promises and
"tune out."

Others think some in the grassroots don't
think there's anything to worry about if a Republican is in the
White House.

All you have to do is look back to the George
W. Bush years to realize what a mistake in thinking that is!

Another problem is that -- with high-stakes
elections like 2020 looming -- many people choose to give to
deserving candidates they want to see elected. That means fewer
contributions to Campaign for Liberty.

Campaign for Liberty is run on a shoestring
budget. We do all we can to carefully spend every red cent
making the biggest difference. That means when contributions
start to run dry, we feel it. Big time.

So please don't move on to the next email in
your inbox or think that someone else will carry the load. Will
you please act?

Campaign for Liberty supporters have never
let me down before. Over the past ten years, we've made so much
progress together.

And I still believe we have so much more to
achieve in the future -- together. But defeating the statists
and renewing liberty in America can't happen without paying the
bills.

If I can't raise the $32,067 I will not put
Campaign for Liberty in debt -- even though I believe we'll be
back on firm financial footing very soon. I pledged never to do
so, I am not going to start now.

The truth is, Campaign for Liberty is not my
organization. It's yours.

It belongs to the tens of thousands of
grassroots patriots all over the country who helped take the
Liberty Movement from nothing to a major force in modern American
politics.

None of what we've fought for and
accomplished could have been possible without you. So I'm
writing to ask you to reinvest in what you helped start with a
generous contribution of $100 or at least $50 today.
[link removed]

I know that's a lot to ask for. But without
your support, program cuts will be the only option. I don't want
to be forced to make this decision. I hope you agree.

Of course, if $100 or $50 is just
too much, please agree to $25 or at least $10.
[link removed]

Your support would mean the world to me right
now -- and help Campaign for Liberty continue making a world of
difference.

I have only a few days left before having to
decide whether or not to make cuts.

So please agree to your most generous
contribution of $100, $50, or at least $25 or
$10 today.
[link removed]

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. With all the resources we've been
forced to spend this year, I'm growing more concerned by the day.
Money is tight. Too tight.

I still have to raise $32,067 in the next few
days to avoid making serious program cuts. Will you please agree
to your most generous contribution of $100, $50, or at
least $25 or $10?
