Dear Patriot,

After a series of discussions with Campaign
for Liberty President Norm Singleton, I am convinced this may
well be the most important email I've ever sent you as C4L
Chairman.

I was already worried what "deals" House
Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader McConnell would cook up
with 2020 elections bearing down.

Now with this coronacrisis panic providing a
new-found excuse for big-spending authoritarianism, politicians
like Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom are proclaiming
this is their "opportunity" to usher in "a new progressive era."

And with the national media rooting on the
Big Government madness from politicians at EVERY level of
government, our remaining freedoms have become their number one
target.

With our ongoing battles and the onslaught of
coronacrisis power grabs underway, Campaign for Liberty has to
make some BIG decisions -- decisions I don't want to make without
hearing from 100% of our supporters.

That's why it's absolutely critical you read
this email, then please complete your confidential 2020 Campaign
for Liberty Supporter Ballot right away.

www.chooseliberty.org/dr-paul-needs-your-advice-2020-supporter-ballot/?sr=c12778240&ballot=fight

Without your opinion -- and your IMMEDIATE
support -- I'm afraid I could be forced to make deep cuts in
Campaign for Liberty's most important programs (even in some
fights like Audit the Fed where I believe we could win).

I can't explain what a travesty that would be
-- especially with everything we're facing right now.

Just consider the stakes with gun control.

The anti-gun statists' pals in the national
media immediately pounced on the coronavirus panic, peddling
headlines like, "If government can curb our rights to fight a
virus, then why not to fight gun violence?" to advance gun
control.

Lickety split, local-level politicians
launched end-runs around the Constitution, infringing on
Americans' Second Amendment rights with attempts to shut down gun
stores.

And I'm afraid it's only the beginning.

After the white-hot fight over gun control
last fall, Congress only took gun control off the table because
of the fight over impeachment.

Now, sources are warning Congress is ready to
pick up where they left off on Gun Control.

And our Second Amendment freedoms are hanging
by a thread.

What really has me worried are the weak-kneed
Republican politicians who've previously expressed support for
various gun control proposals.

Historically, they're prone to collapse the
closer it gets to election day.

November's coming like a freight train. And
all bets are off with the nation wrapped up in this coronacrisis.

All it will take is some madman shooting up a
"gun-free" zone (like many supermarkets now are) and those same
politicians will be clamoring to cut a "deal" and grant Big
Government statists BLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL powers to:

>>> Seize law-abiding Americans' firearms --
with ZERO DUE PROCESS -- through so-called "Red Flag" Gun
Confiscation Orders; and

>>> Create a Nationwide Gun Registration --
aka "Universal Background Checks". . .

. . . giving Government Goons the names and
firearms of every single gun owner in the country.


The storm clouds are brewing.

There's virtually no doubt that we'll soon be
facing an all-out brawl on gun control.

So if you think stopping assaults on
Americans' Second Amendment freedoms should be Campaign for
Liberty's top priority in the new Congress, please select "STOP
ASSAULTS ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT" on your Supporter Ballot.

But before you do, please consider the
growing threat of censorship in the United States.

Authoritarian politicians and bureaucrats
will take advantage of any opportunity to censor those like you
and me who stand in the way of their statist schemes.

And they're not alone.

I know you've heard bone-chilling stories of
tech giants like Facebook, Google, Twitter, and others
effectively black-listing anyone who doesn't toe the Big
Government line.

Private companies, of course, should always
be able to make their own rules about their products. But let's
not kid ourselves here.

These tech giants have been tied at the hip
to the Deep State for nearly two decades now, handing the NSA
gobs of private information on law-abiding Americans any time
it's asked for!

Ever since the results of the 2016 elections,
the Deep State has accused anyone who doesn't toe their line of
effectively being "Russian stooges" -- the excuse many of these
tech giants are using to censor those like me who still believe
in liberty.

So according to these self-righteous statist
radicals, standing up for the United States Constitution
effectively makes you an enemy of the United States!

Now, they're openly admitting to turning over
phone GPS location data to government officials because of the
coronavirus.

Congress wants in on the censorship act as
well. In fact the very first bill introduced this Congress was
H.R. 1 -- the Establishment Protection Act.

If passed, this draconian legislation would:

>>> Impose sweeping new regulations on
organizations like Campaign for Liberty, to keep us quiet and
cripple our effectiveness during election years;

>>> Force grassroots organizations to
publicize and release the names of supporters making them
vulnerable to threats, intimidation, or worse, from radical
left-wing mobs;

>>> Increase regulation of Americans' online
speech beyond paid advertising to include communications on
groups' or individuals' own websites and email messages.
And with the American people likely to grow
ever more strident in opposing politicians the longer this lock
down goes on, this legislation could quickly become a major
priority for BOTH parties in Congress.
But I'm afraid that's not even the worst of
it.

Consider this recent headline from Politico:
"DOJ seeks new emergency powers amid coronavirus pandemic!"

The powers the Department of Justice goons
want during so-called "emergencies" is INDEFINITE DETENTION of
American citizens without trial!

And they've already
submitted draft legislation to Congress to get it!

This blatantly unconstitutional power grab
has topped the statists' wish list for years!

Now, with the nation gripped in fear and
panic over the coronavirus, Attorney General William Barr and his
Justice Department goons think they have the perfect opportunity
to ram it through.

INDEFINITE DETENTION is among the most
egregious in the torrent of "emergency powers" authoritarians
have sought since this outbreak began.

And if we let them get away with it, what
liberties will they not crush as the statists continually expand
their power under the pretense of "keeping us safe" during this
coronavirus outbreak?

And what about the next emergency?

Remember, not too long ago, it was C4L
supporters who were listed in a Missouri Fusion Center report,
later referred to as the MIAC report, as domestic extremists to
be watched.

And it wasn't just C4L supporters on that
list, but people displaying third party logos and bumper stickers
and supporters of specific politicians, including me.

In the past, everyone from gun owners, to
pro-lifers, to tea partiers, were labeled "terrorists" by their
political opponents.

You don't have to think very long to see how
terrible this could get . . . government agents with the power to
secretly target American citizens and throw them in jail for
years or even decades without so much as ever giving them a
trial!

If you and I don't fight back against these
schemes, we could effectively lose our ability to fight back
anywhere -- giving statists in BOTH parties the green light to do
their absolute WORST.

So if you think Campaign for Liberty's top
focus should be stopping these statist tools that could muzzle
you and me for good, please select "STOP INDEFINITE DETENTION AND
BIG GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP SCHEMES" on your Supporter Ballot.

But before you do, please remember the
all-out congressional showdown over FISA reform and
reauthorization of Section 215 of the so-called "USA Freedom" Act
coming soon.

Section 215 of this federal law is the
section surveillance state apologists point to for the
warrantless collection of your (and every other American's)
emails, phone records, text messages, Internet searches, instant
messages, online purchases, and Facebook posts.

The good news is, just before the coronavirus
panic kicked off, you and I defied the predictions of the
so-called political experts by not only forcing the Senate to
allow three controversial surveillance provisions to expire
temporarily but also making it 100% clear SHAM FISA reform is
unacceptable.

But our fight is far from over!

And NOW the Deep State has exactly the kind
of "whatever it takes" nightmare scenario they've always relied
on to further their abusive domestic spying powers.

In fact, the Deep State's media elite pals
are pushing coronavirus inspired headlines like: "US spies will
use eavesdropping tools and undercover informants to monitor . .
. spread of coronavirus"

Warrantless Deep State spying on you, me, or
any law-abiding American -- for even for a second -- is just
plain wrong.

The fact is, the Deep State has proven
they'll abuse their domestic spying powers.

And despite the Deep State's promises,
domestic government spying has never done anything to catch a
terrorist, nor will it stop a pandemic.

For you and me, that's no surprise.

Of course, that's never what these schemes
have been about.

From the beginning, they've ALWAYS been about
shutting up voices like yours and mine who support American
freedom.

As I warned you at the time, the "USA Freedom
Act" did nothing but put a fig leaf on the so-called "PATRIOT
Act."

Instead of the NSA collecting the private
communications of every American, Congress simply instructed
communications companies to act as the NSA's filing cabinet --
and insisted these companies jump whenever the NSA told them to.

Now, it appears the NSA can't even abide by
these laughably minimal restrictions.

Just recently, court documents revealed the
NSA illegally collected millions upon millions of phone call and
message records on innocent Americans!

And President Trump's own experience --
including being targeted by FBI spies and CIA-approved
"whistleblowers" within the White House -- should show EVERYONE
why we cannot continue to allow America to be transformed into
George Orwell's 1984!

For daring to stand up against these
government spying schemes, it appears Campaign for Liberty was
even targeted by FBI surveillance!

Not long ago, Cato Institute Scholar Patrick
Eddington submitted hundreds of Freedom of Information Requests
(FOIA) to the FBI asking whether the bureau had ever conducted
warrantless surveillance of organizations like Campaign for
Liberty.

When the responses started pouring back in,
the FBI effectively responded, "No, nope, nope, never, not them,
nope."

That is UNTIL they were asked about C4L.
Then the FBI issued a "Glomar" response, effectively saying, "No
comment."

These "Glomar" responses are extremely rare,
used only when the FBI wants to refuse to confirm or deny whether
it was collecting national security or intelligence records on
the subjects of the FOIA request.

In other words, if they WEREN'T spying on me,
they'd say so!

If we don't stop this madness, the America
you and I love won't be around much longer. It will be
unrecognizable. And freedom will exist nowhere but in our
memories.

So if you think STOPPING permanent
reauthorization of the so-called "USA Freedom Act" and expansion
of government snooping powers should be our top priority, please
mark, "STOP GOVERNMENT SPYING" on your Supporter Ballot.

But before you do, there's one more thing I
hope you'll consider -- one more BIG THING. . .

That's our fight to Audit the Fed.

As I've said for years, the Federal Reserve
remains the heart of everything you and I HATE about Washington,
D.C.

With their "print-now, ask-questions-later"
policies, they fuel the out-of-control Big Government Leviathan
that never stops growing, never stops seizing our freedoms, and
never stops the mad rush to full-blown socialism.

Even before Congress' latest spending spree,
the national debt had ballooned to over $23 TRILLION under the
economic myth they can spend and spend without consequence
because the Federal Reserve can simply print the money out of
thin air without anyone suffering the slightest when the bills
must be paid.

The truth is, the Fed's meddling in the
markets is why a major economic storm was brewing in our
financial system long before this coronavirus panic.

It's something I warned about last fall, when
in September, the Fed started issuing hundreds of billions of
dollars in bailouts to the "Repo" market -- a key financial
market banks and other financial institutions use for short-term
funding.

As Fortune noted early on:

"The repo market is looking a lot like it did
on the precipice of the 2007 housing market crash."

But now, instead of being exposed as the
culprit of another 2008-like financial collapse caused by
Fed-enabled congressional over-spending, the Fed can blame
everything on the coronavirus panic and the accompanying economic
shutdown.

And they're telling anyone and everyone who
will listen they're the only ones who can "fix it."

The problems they created will far outlast
the coronavirus.

And the nearly $500 BILLION in taxpayer money
Congress and the U.S. Treasury just made available to back the
Federal Reserve's latest sweetheart loans to their fat-cat
cronies on Wall Street will only make it worse.

Since the Fed loans $10 for every $1 in
reserves, that means they have $5 TRILLION to dole out to their
Wall Street bankster pals and politically-connected corporate
cronies!

All in secret.

The American people are
NEVER to know where the money goes -- all thanks to Congress.

That's why auditing the Fed NOW -- before
it's too late -- is so critical.

So if you think finally EXPOSING the Federal
Reserve should be most important, please mark "AUDIT THE FED --
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!" on your Supporter Ballot.

As you'll see, there are no easy choices.

Focusing solely on any one area means
Campaign for Liberty will simply have to let the statists in BOTH
parties get their way in another.

I can't even bear to think about what that
would mean for the future of our country.

That's why, as you'll
see, I've included one more option on your Supporter Ballot.

"That's FIGHT
EVERYWHERE! DON'T GIVE AN INCH!"

But please recognize how serious this is.

Without a massive influx of funds, I simply
won't be able to run even a full program on any one of these
critical battles, let alone all of them!

Fighting the statists everywhere will mean I
simply must count on you to go above and beyond what you've done
in the past.

That's why I simply must hear from you right
away.

So can I please count on your most generous
contribution of $50 TODAY?

I know that's a lot.

I know it's more than you've done in the
past.

And I know many people have been hit hard
during the coronavirus panic and the accompanying stock market
rollercoaster.

So for those who can step up, I have to ask
more of you.

But if $50 is just too much, please make
your most generous contribution of $25 or at least $10
IMMEDIATELY.

Patriot, this could not be more serious.

With the statists more radical than ever, the
stakes are higher for the Liberty Movement than ever before.

I'm counting on you to rise to the occasion.
So please submit your Supporter Ballot right
away and tell me how to proceed.
For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. As you'll see, I've prepared a special
Campaign for Liberty Supporter Ballot for you to fill out.

In the next few days, I must nail down
Campaign for Liberty's most crucial plans for the coming weeks,
but I can't do that without hearing from you first.

So please submit your Supporter Ballot right
away and make your most generous contribution of $50,
$25, or at least $10 at once!
