Patriot,

Three things have become crystal clear since the attempted
assassination of former President Donald Trump. . .

*** Leadership within the U.S. Secret Service failed to do their
jobs, which put Trump and innocent Americans at risk;

*** Democrats are sticking to the same old anti-gun talking
points as a solution to the failures of their Deep State pals;

*** The FBI is going after encryption technology, and many in
Congress are anxious to assist them.

You see, when the government fails, YOU must pay the price.

Big Brother despises your personal privacy.

Government goons think they have a right to know everything you
say and whom you say it to, everything you write, everything you
do, and everything you buy.

It's all they can do until they can figure out how to know what
you're thinking.

This is George Orwell's 1984 on steroids.

But encryption technology gets in their way.

That's why the government despises encryption.

Encryption protects you from bad actors, like hackers, common
criminals, and government goons.

Imagine if your passwords and banking information were
unprotected from malicious hackers. You wouldn't be able to use
the Internet safely.

But now, misguided statists in Washington are using the attempted
assassination of Donald Trump as a pretext to attack encryption.

They're demanding a "back door" to your messages and
communications for government officials - which of course would
be a huge security weakness for any additional bad actors.

When you build a back door for police, you build a lock that can
be picked by hackers, foreign governments, and common criminals,
too.

Lawmakers either don't understand this simple concept - or they
do and simply do not care, because they view your privacy as a
bigger threat than identity theft.

Privacy is an insurance policy against government oppression. To
be able to speak out and organize against an unruly government.
This is what statists view as a "threat."

Tell your U.S. Representative and Senators right now - HANDS OFF
ENCRYPTION. NO ASSAULT ON OUR RIGHT TO PRIVACY!

Surveillance State supporters are simply using the failed
assassination attempt - and the failures of the Secret Service -
as a pretext for the policy they've wanted all along.

In fact, neocon Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Marsha Blackburn
(R-TN), and Tom Cotton (R-AR) introduced legislation to ban
encryption years ago!

Called the "Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act," the bill
received the backing of former U.S. Attorney General under
President Trump, Bill Barr.

The Covid pandemic interrupted their momentum in 2020, so they're
hoping to use the failed assassination as a pretext to revive
their failed campaign.

This is an extremely dangerous proposal, but one we must nip in
the bud right now.

Help prevent this assault on your privacy before it gets off the
ground - tell your U.S. Representative and Senators to protect
your privacy and oppose any attempt to weaken encryption.

Statists in D.C. insist you have to choose between privacy and
security.

But the truth is, encryption gives us privacy AND security, and
without it, we would have neither on the Internet.

The attempt to end encryption isn't new, but the failed
assassination has breathed life back into it.

Even though it only took a few days for the FBI to break into the
shooter's phone, Uncle Sam wants to be able to peek into your
phone on a whim.

They've been pushing and pushing to shut down encryption for
decades now.

"To stop terrorism and organized crime, the American people must
give up some of their personal freedom and privacy."

Janet Reno wrote that in 1994 as U.S. Attorney General. 26 years
later, AG Bill Barr was pushing the same line.

Patriot, it's all part of the same singular agenda as the
National ID card, the Central Bank Digital Currency, and the
vaccine passport: total loss of your personal privacy.

Campaign for Liberty supporters like you have played a vital role
in stopping schemes like this from becoming law in the past, and
I am convinced if liberty-loving Americans like you continue to
help us put the heat on Congress, we can stop any last-minute
attempts to sneak any weakening of encryption through Congress
before the end of the year.

But the attacks on your privacy are bipartisan, and that makes
this a serious threat.

The government is the bad guy, and it is bent on destroying
anything it perceives as "subversive" - including your ideas on
liberty.

Your signed directive lets your representative and senators know
we expect them to protect our God-given and
Constitutionally-protected right to privacy.

It lets them know you do not want the government to be able to
break into your phone or access your private data.

Take just one moment, right now, to make your voice heard!

Then, please forward this message to your fellow patriots.

And if you can, please support Campaign for Liberty's work with a
contribution. Your gift of $10, $100, or $1,000 or something
in-between will help us fight this battle.

When Congress attempts to sneak these liberty-stealing schemes
under the radar, a big public outcry is often enough to get them
to back down.

We need to continue the fight, even during the summer recess,
because the forces of tyranny will never just go away.

Whether you can make a contribution of $10, $100, $1,000, or
something in between, any contribution helps us reach and
mobilize more people.
