Dear Patriot,
Can you stomach the stuff the statists at
every level of government have thrown at you and me in recent
weeks?

When I wrote you a few weeks back, I was
already worried what "deals" House Speaker Pelosi and Senate
Majority Leader McConnell would cook up with 2020 elections
bearing down.

But once the authoritarians got hold of this
coronavirus panic, I knew liberty-loving Americans like you and
me were in for something unprecedented to protect our freedoms.

Suffice it to say, much hangs on the
decisions before us.

That's why it's critical that I hear from you
IMMEDIATELY, once you've finished reading this important message
(perhaps the most important you'll ever receive from me).

We're neck-deep in FIGHTING BACK against
their onslaught since the coronavirus took hold -- and that's on
top of the critical ongoing battles you and I are facing in the
coming months.

And the truth is, 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.

Nothing could be more disastrous at a time
when the statist Big Government crowd is drunk on wielding more
power over you and me -- and the national media is rooting on the
madness.

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

Consider the stakes over our right to bear
arms and our crucial stand against gun control!

The anti-gun statists' pals in the national
media immediately pounced on the coronavirus panic. . .

And lickety split, local-level politicians
launched end-runs around Americans' Second Amendment rights with
attempts to shut down gun stores.

Congress only took gun control off the table
last fall over impeachment.

So the storm clouds were already looming.

And with Congress poised to pick up where
they left off at a moment's notice, you and I must be ready to
mobilize when they do.

If not, the gun grabbers and weak-kneed
Republican politicians who've previously expressed support for
various gun control proposals could easily snap the frayed thread
our Second Amendment freedoms hang by.

All it will take is some madman shooting up a
"gun-free" zone and they'll be clamoring to cut a "deal" handing
statist power 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.

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 effectively black-listing anyone who doesn't toe the
Big Government line.

Let's not kid ourselves.
. .

These ostensibly private tech companies like
Facebook, Google, Twitter, and others have been tied at the hip
to the Deep State for nearly two decades now.

They'll hand the NSA and any other government
agency gobs of private information on law-abiding Americans any
time it's asked for!

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

Facebook proudly issued TAKE DOWN ORDERS this
week against pages of groups protesting absurd coronavirus house
arrest policies!

Those protests show Americans are growing
ever more strident in opposing blanket lockdown orders and making
it clear they won't tolerate politicians trampling on our
liberties.

Citizen protests make politicians nervous.
That's why Congress has also been in on the
censorship with draconian legislation like the Establishment
Protection Act (H.R. 1), that 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.
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!

This blatantly unconstitutional power grab
has topped the statists' wish list for years! So you can be sure
they're lobbying Congress to slam it through!

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 a trial!

So, if you think Campaign for Liberty's top
focus should be stopping 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 an all-out
congressional showdown over FISA reform and reauthorization of
Section 215 of the so-called "USA Freedom" Act.

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 temporarily
expire but also making it 100% clear SHAM FISA reform is
unacceptable.

But our fight is far from over!

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 -- 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!

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.

The trillions upon trillions in the Federal
Reserve's tidal wave of sweetheart loans and bailouts for their
fat-cat bankster pals on Wall Street and politically-connected
corporate cronies will only make it worse!

Of course, the American people are NEVER to
know where the trillions upon trillions in bailout money -- all
doled out in secret -- goes thanks to Congress.
But it will ultimately wreak devastation on
American middle class.
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.

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!
