Patriot,

Every time I read an article about the devastation across the
southeastern United States, I am torn between outrage at the
federal government and admiration for the strength of the
survivors and generosity of their fellow Americans.

The devastation we are witnessing is staggering, almost too much
to take in. . .

Yet, the stories of survival and the generosity of volunteers
providing their labor, supplies, and donations are inspiring and
give hope.

THIS is the way it should be - neighbors helping neighbors.

But at the same time, it's outrageous to witness how our federal
government blows through our money - billions and billions at a
time - for every kind of outrageous boondoggle, foreign
misadventure, and subsidy for illegal aliens, leaving nothing for
Americans when tragedy strikes.

When American taxpayers' homes and lives are literally washed
away, the federal government claims to have virtually nothing
left for them.



This is only the tip of the iceberg. I could go on for pages with
example after example.

A shocking, seemingly endless amount of money for foreigners,
corporate lobbyists, and every special interest in the swamp.

Under the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act," the feds wasted $8
BILLION for ONE electric vehicle charging station and $42.5
BILLION to deliver broadband to rural communities even though
they haven't even broken ground yet!

Only a few days ago, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris announced they
are sending $157 million of your tax dollars to Lebanon.

And just last month, FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund monthly report
revealed that nearly $4 BILLION was spent on "COVID-19 aid," the
most of any month since October 2023.

Billions of dollars for Big Pharma, for a pandemic that's been
over for years, to countries halfway around the globe, while
Helene victims are struggling and about to get battered again by
Hurricane Milton.

FEMA is now claiming it doesn't have the money to manage another
emergency. . .

. . . Despite the fact Congress just passed a funding bill
including $20 billion to FEMA in September!

Just over one week into this tragedy, most military helicopter
crews are grounded.

And at least initially, many civilians with helicopters were
ordered NOT to intervene and save lives.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris made a campaign stop to be interviewed
on a sex podcast, and Joe Biden spent time on the beach in
Delaware.

If you've ever doubted the priorities of the U.S. government,
this is a clarifying moment.

You and I have known all along the government is not our friend.
But for many average, hard-working Americans who aren't immersed
in the liberty movement, this is a shock.

They're finding out the hard way that all the money they pay in
taxes is not used for their benefit, no matter how dire their
situation is.

In fact, in a leaked Zoom call, FEMA officials were actually
heard plotting to withhold aid to suffering American families:

"We should focus our efforts on LGBTQIA people… they
struggled before the storm."

"FEMA relief is no longer about getting the greatest good for the
greatest amount of people…. It's about disaster equity."

"The shift that we're seeing right now is the shift in emergency
management from utilitarian principles where everything is
designed for the greatest good, for the greatest amount of
people, to disaster equity, uh, but we have to do more."

It's unspeakable.

And Americans are suffering right now.

So, Patriot, today we are asking you to support a private
organization that is providing immediate, on-the-ground relief to
hurricane victims.

You may know of organizations you can trust. We have heard
firsthand reports of great work being done by Samaritans Purse,
Cajun Navy Relief, and numerous churches in the disaster zone.

If you know of other organizations you can trust, donate to them.


In the future, we will discuss demanding the government end the
rotten scam that FEMA is . . . but that's for another day. For
now, just help the hurricane victims, or support those
individuals and organizations who are doing so.

If the federal government wasn't stealing a third of all the
wealth we earn, those people left with NOTHING might have had a
great deal more left in the bank to rebuild their lives. We would
all have so much more to provide support to those bringing REAL
aid.

The government is not keeping us safe from hurricanes. It's not
providing relief from hurricanes. It's monopolizing power, just
as it always does.

FEMA even had the audacity to put up a web page accusing people
of "disinformation." They're truly shameless.

As Ron Paul has long argued, FEMA should be abolished.

In horrible situations like what we are witnessing now, we should
see more neighbor helping neighbor and less big government
spending billions but doing nothing.

But for the moment, with so many Americans experiencing the worst
natural disasters in years, let's focus for the moment on helping
them.

Whatever charity you know and trust, they need your help today.

Thanks for all you do,
