Patriot,

Big Brother wants to attack your privacy again. They're
threatening to end encryption as we know it . . . so it's
critical we tell them right now: HANDS OFF ENCRYPTION!
[link removed]

In the aftermath of the shooting of former President Donald
Trump, members of Congress should be asking some critical
questions:

- How could so many Secret Service personnel have committed so
many acts of negligence at once?

- Can the FBI be trusted to conduct an honest investigation into
this?

- What steps are being taken to ensure this can never happen
again?

Instead, these are the questions members of Congress are asking:

- Can we use this incident to attack the Second Amendment?

- Can we use this incident to expand the "homeland security"
bureaucracy?

- Can we use this incident to attack the right to privacy?

It's the government's motto: "Never let a crisis go to waste!"

They will never allow themselves to be blamed for any tragedy.
They will always blame - and punish - the public.

That's why we should be all the more outraged when members of
Congress come after encryption - because they want to punish you
for what they failed to do.

You see, government officials are whining the shooter had an
encrypted phone with encrypted apps which are taking the FBI
extra effort to crack open.

And for years, the government has complained the "bad guys" are
able to use encryption to elude detection - and therefore, none
of us should have any privacy from their watchful eyes.

It's the same failed argument they use with guns: a bad person
used a gun in a bad way and so every law-abiding gun owner must
pay the consequences and give up their right to self-defense.

The public is rightly outraged one of the most elite security
forces in the world allowed a random 20-year old to climb up a
roof, wander around in plain view, and then take position and
shoot a candidate for President of the United States.

So to deflect blame from itself, the Deep State wants to blame
the privacy you and I enjoy.

But the truth is obvious: the government has always used fear as
a pretext for seizing liberty.

Remember the dark words of John Ashcroft, U.S. Attorney General
under President George W. Bush:

"To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost
liberty, my message is this: your tactics only aid terrorists,
for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve."

Patriot, right now the government spies on every one of us
online, without a warrant, in sweeping mass surveillance programs
and even data buy-ups from Big Tech.

This is no "phantom" of lost liberty! Right now, our privacy on
the Internet isn't being protected by any law. Only by
technology: encryption.

And that's what the government is coming after next.

We've already seen the bill, the "Lawful Access to Encrypted Data
Act," which could be brought back to life at any moment. It's
already written.

That's why you must tell your U.S. Representative and Senators
right now: HANDS OFF ENCRYPTION. NO ASSAULT ON OUR RIGHT TO
PRIVACY!

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.

Encryption is the best tool we have for safeguarding our privacy
and security online. In a digital world full of cyberattacks and
security breaches, encryption protects everyone, especially
law-abiding citizens.

Without true encryption, the Internet would become dangerous
indeed.

We need to nip this in the bud before legislation to attack
encryption gains any momentum.

Contact your representative and senators right now!

There is no need to weaken encryption. Law enforcement can (and
does) conduct investigations involving encrypted messages, which
can be reported by users and accessed from either the sender or
recipient's devices.

They also use a tremendous amount of additional information about
users that tech giants like Google routinely collect.

Making Americans more vulnerable just to make law enforcement
investigators' jobs slightly easier is an unnecessary and
dangerous trade off.

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.

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!
