“Truth is
treason in the empire of lies.” —Ron Paul The Revolution: A Manifesto Patriot, Hillary Clinton doubled down on her demands to censor the Internet last weekend – and in doing so, she gave Democrats their marching orders. This after Hillary demanded Americans who repeat what she deems “misinformation” should not only be censored but criminally prosecuted. (Never mind that her 2016 campaign pushed the debunked Steele Dossier, and her statist friends – so-called intelligence experts – falsely said the Hunter Biden laptop story was disinformation . . . but to them, the truth doesn’t matter and the rules are different for them.) Now, Hillary has called for social networks to be held liable for everything posted by their millions (sometimes billions) of users. You see, according to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, platforms such as Facebook and Twitter/X cannot be held liable as a publisher for what their users post, because they are simply a platform. Without that Section 230 protection, online speech would be practically eliminated entirely. Imagine if a social network with millions of users could be held liable for the speech of every single one of them. They would have to review and approve every post and every comment. It would be completely unworkable. You can also see these networks simply automatically blocking keywords and shutting up anyone with a dissenting point of view. It would go beyond rampant censorship. It would shut everything down. That’s why it’s critical we tell Congress right now: HANDS OFF SECTION 230! It’s true that in some cases, companies like Google have tried to use Section 230 beyond its purpose, to claim immunity from any liability for arbitrarily censoring and deplatforming their own users. But the answer to that is not to weaken legal protections for online speech. When legitimate laws are broken, they should be enforced by the courts. And users can choose to take their business to a friendlier platform. If Section 230 is repealed, and Hillary and her cohorts get their way, there won’t be any escaping the censorship. Without a doubt, Hillary Clinton was thinking of free speech platforms like X, Rumble, and Telegram. You can rest assured, if the government could attack online platforms for the speech of any given user, it would not only shut down the pesky free speech platforms, but also give them leverage to control speech on the others – as they did to manipulate public opinion in the pandemic. Patriot, Hillary Clinton knows EXACTLY what she is doing. If the Democrats lose in November, they will blame “misinformation” (meaning, freedom of speech) and that will become a central plank of the Democrat party for years to come. And if they win in November, they will make this their top priority. That’s why it’s so critical we tell Congress right now: PROTECT FREE SPEECH. HANDS OFF SECTION 230! The statists are anxious to shut you and me up. There are more than enough villains speaking against free speech right now: - John Kerry (who like Hillary was once a Democrat presidential nominee and
a political has-been) whined at the World Economic Forum the First Amendment is “the major roadblock” to “stamping out”
misinformation; - Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz falsely claimed the First Amendment doesn’t protect all speech. He repeated this false statement (misinformation) in front of tens of millions of Americans watching the vice presidential debate last week. - When she was a senator, Vice President Kamala Harris introduced a constitutional amendment to eliminate the free speech protections upheld in the Citizens United case – a case brought about because citizens were silenced from criticizing Hillary Clinton herself. Every Senate Democrat voiced support for killing your right to free speech. Patriot, the party that once cherished free speech has now become its mortal enemy. As we just explained, whether they take power next year or not, the left, and specifically the Democrats, will be targeting the First Amendment for years to come. Take just one moment to tell your representative and senators: Protect the First Amendment. HANDS OFF SECTION 230! After you sign your directive to Congress, please follow up by making a generous contribution to Campaign for Liberty. The fight will surely get red-hot after the election . . . if not before the election. And no matter how the election turns out, we will be marching off to battle for the Lame Duck session of Congress. That will be an epic battle, over six weeks or more, right at the time when the grassroots is exhausted and ready to celebrate the holidays. As we begin the last quarter of 2024, you and I need to be prepared for what is about to be thrown at us. There is a desperate fight for control of the United States government for the next term in the White House and Congress. The globalists are panicked. Their plans in Ukraine failed. The Middle East is heating up. Their leaders in Europe are being voted out. Their pandemic treaty is in trouble. Their Central Bank Digital Currency isn’t in place. You can bet they’re going to do everything possible to control the discussion between now and November 5th . . . and that means extreme censorship. I hope you agree Campaign for Liberty needs to be ready to fight – and we simply cannot do that without your support. So Patriot, can I count on you to make a contribution to help Campaign for Liberty prepare for the mad rush we are facing in the last three months of 2024? This is a battle you and I can’t afford to lose. So please make your most generous contribution of $100, $200, $500, or more right away to help Campaign for Liberty prepare to thwart the madness in the home stretch of the 2024 election season and the thrashings of the “lame duck” Congress that we know is coming. If you can afford just $10, $20, or $50 now, your gift along with other Campaign for Liberty supporters will help us meet our goal as we head into a very busy final quarter of 2024. For Liberty, John McCardell Executive Director P.S. Free speech is under threat, even here in America, and especially in the heat of the final month of a presidential election. We know what is coming. Hillary Clinton told us so. Sign your directive to Congress right now. We simply must be ready when the great censorship push comes in the next few days or weeks. And then we have a Lame Duck Congress to contend with. We will need to be prepared to fight them at every turn. So after you sign, please make a contribution, if you can. Your contribution today, of $100, $200, $500, or whatever you can afford will help us plan and budget for the final fight of the legislative cycle, in which everything is on the line.
