Dear Patriot,

Bullying, fear-mongering, working the clock,
suspending the rules to CRUSH debate. . .

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Deep State
lackeys Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Jerry Nadler (D-NY), and their
statist pals in Republican House leadership -- they ALL did their
part RAMMING SHAM FISA reform through the House before getting
out of town to "shelter at home" as the coronavirus panic swept
the nation.

As I warned you then, the "coronacrisis" is
exactly the kind of "whatever it takes" nightmare scenario the
Deep State always relies on to further their abusive domestic
spying powers.

Now, I'm worried Speaker Pelosi and her
statist cohorts could see their maneuverings pay off even beyond
the Deep State's wildest dreams unless I can count on your
IMMEDIATE action.

You see, Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell has reconvened the Senate and my sources are reporting
he's going to schedule a vote to RAM H.R. 6172 -- the SHAM FISA
reform scheme Speaker Pelosi's House already passed -- through
the Senate as soon as early next week.

I can almost guarantee McConnell is plotting
to use the coronavirus and Speaker Pelosi's refusal to bring the
House back in to session as his excuse to crush real reform and
will instead RAM SHAM FISA reform through the Senate.

The good news is before the coronavirus panic
kicked off, you and I defied the predictions of the so-called
political experts by stopping Pelosi's SHAM FISA reform from
passing in the Senate.

In fact, the efforts of Campaign for Liberty
supporters like you, helped force the expiration of three
controversial surveillance provisions originally passed in the
so-called "Patriot Act."

Those provisions have not been legally in
effect since mid-March because you and I halted (at least
temporarily) the Deep State's so-called "reform" measures from
passing both houses of Congress.

But the Deep State and their Big Government
lackeys in BOTH parties in Congress want the BLATANTLY
UNCONSTITUTIONAL domestic surveillance programs back running full
blast.

And with so many Americans willingly
submitting to government tyranny right now, it's up to you and me
to make it 100% clear that SHAM FISA reform is unacceptable.

So I'm counting on you to do me two favors.

First, please sign your STOP WARRANTLESS
SPYING ON AMERICANS petition right away! As you'll see, your
signed petition demands your elected officials oppose H.R. 6172
and any other scheme to reauthorize -- even for a second --
warrantless Deep State spying on you, me, or any law-abiding
American.

Then, after you have, please dig deep and
chip in with as generous a contribution as you can afford to help
Campaign for Liberty recruit and mobilize more patriots to bring
the Deep State's unconstitutional domestic spying programs to a
crashing halt!

The fact is, the statists crafted this whole
scheme in secret with Attorney General William Barr (the Deep
State's Chief Enforcer) to forcibly collect, store, and search
every American's emails, phone records, text messages, Internet
searches, instant messages, online purchases, and Facebook posts
whenever the Deep State wants!

The Deep State has proven over and over
they'll abuse their domestic spying powers.

Now Deep State lackeys Barr, Pelosi,
McConnell and the rest of the Deep State's thugs are hoping to
pull the wool over Americans' eyes with this sham reform or some
window-dressing amendment that keeps their spying powers running
full blast.

Of course, Barr is the very same Attorney
General whose Department of Justice goons asked Congress at the
start of this whole coronavirus mess for "emergency" powers to
indefinitely detain law-abiding citizens without so much as judge
signing off.

So you don't have to think very long to see
how terrible this could get. . .

Consider for a second the actions of Big
Government authoritarians in BOTH parties in the course of this
whole coronavirus mess.

And of course, they've added coronavirus to
their list of excuses to spy on you and me.

In fact, Scott Gottlieb a former FDA
commissioner in the Trump administration recently raised that
narrative. Echoing Dr. Anthony Fauci and Bill gates on massive
government "track and trace" requirements, he stated "the massive
surveillance system that we need to detect infection quickly
we're hopefully going to have in place."

Meanwhile tech giants like, Facebook, Google,
Twitter, and others openly admitted turning over phone GPS
location data to government officials under the guise of the
coronavirus.

But the truth is, they have been tied at the
hip to the Deep State for nearly two decades now, handing the NSA
gobs of private information on law-abiding Americans any time
it's asked for!

And it will get much worse if this SHAM FISA
reform is rammed through.

Warrantless Deep State spying on you, me, or
any law-abiding American -- even for a second -- is just plain
wrong.

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, I'm counting on you to sign your STOP
WARRANTLESS SPYING ON AMERICANS petition right away!

The good news is, 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.

The bad news is, that was before coronavirus.


Now you and I must contend with this "new"
same old same old excuse of "keeping us safe" the Big Government
statists have always used to justify their blatantly
unconstitutional spying programs on law-abiding Americans.

But I'm confident with the support of liberty
loving patriots like you, we can battle back against the
statists' latest excuse too and ultimately strike a death blow on
the crown jewel of Deep State's domestic spying abuses.

After all, it wasn't too long ago, the Deep
State could count on a rubber stamp from the politicians in the
Washington, D.C. "Swamp" for whatever abuse of liberty they
dreamed up, provided they cloaked it under a veil of "national
security."

So if you and I DO turn up enough heat, this
is a fight we can win.

For the future of freedom's survival in
America, this is a battle we MUST win.

Just since the lid was blown off our federal
government's domestic surveillance programs in the summer of
2013, we've seen story after story hit the press regarding NSA
abuses, including:
*** NSA employees spying on ex-lovers and
spouses -- a practice so common, the intelligence community has
come up with their own jargon, "LOVEINT," to describe it;

*** REFUSING to say whether or not they
spied on members of Congress, which would effectively destroy any
ability of our government's Legislative Branch to police this
rogue agency;

*** Effectively GUTTING attorney-client
privilege by holding confidential records.
There are literally thousands of examples of
abuse.

The FBI has become so emboldened, recent FOIA
documents show they apparently even targeted me with their
snooping programs.

This should be no surprise. Men aren't
angels. Neither are politicians and government bureaucrats.

Campaign for Liberty is pulling out all the
stops to TRULY rein in the surveillance state. It's not going to
be cheap, but I'm confident it's a fight we can ultimately win.

But right now, the Deep State's congressional
lackeys are racing to compromise away more of our liberties.

And they'll stop at nothing to keep the Deep
State's unconstitutional domestic spying programs going as close
to full blast as they can.

Patriot, it's up to you and me to stop them.

Won't you please consider making your most
generous contribution of $50 today?

I know that's a lot to ask, but your Campaign
for Liberty has been neck-deep in halting America's further slide
toward total authoritarianism and we've been stretched thin
during the coronavirus panic.

Of course, if $50 is too much, then
please consider a generous contribution of $25 or at least
$10.

These funds will supercharge our grassroots
muscle to make it 100% clear to your elected legislators -- the
FBI, NSA and their Deep State allies have run rough-shod over
Americans' civil liberties long enough.

Then, after you've made your most generous
contribution, I'm counting on the liberty movement to generate as
much pressure as we can, which is why I hope you'll sign your
STOP WARRANTLESS SPYING ON AMERICANS petition to your U.S.
Senators.

This is our best opportunity since October
2001 to begin rolling back the surveillance state and reclaim our
lost liberties.

But with a vote potentially coming as early
as this week, there isn't much time.

So after you've donated and signed your STOP
WARRANTLESS SPYING ON AMERICANS petition, won't you please
forward this on to your friends and family and encourage them to
take action?

Please act at once!
For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. The FBI, NSA, and their Deep State
allies have run rough-shod over Americans' civil liberties long
enough.

But Deep State lackeys Barr, Pelosi,
McConnell and the rest of the Deep State's thugs are hoping to
pull the wool over Americans' eyes with SHAM FISA reform that's
nothing but window-dressing designed to keep the crown jewel of
the Deep State's domestic spying powers running full blast.

Now it's time for you and I to supercharge
our grassroots muscle and keep the pressure on and DEMAND
Congress rein in the surveillance state.

Please make your most generous contribution
of $50, $25, or at least $10 today to help
Campaign for Liberty turn up the heat on Congress.
