Dear Patriot,

As I sat down to write you this message, I
couldn't help but think back to all you and I have accomplished
over the years.

Not long ago, the Liberty Movement was widely
derided and scoffed at by the media and politicians alike -- the
so-called "experts" who said Iraq would be a cakewalk. . .

. . . "Experts" who said that Americans were
too stupid to understand the Federal Reserve system or monetary
policy and that Americans wouldn't care if Congress took hundreds
of BILLIONS of their tax dollars and spent it bailing out auto
companies and the big banks.

. . . "Experts" who said Americans liked
being spied on -- and if we didn't put the Fourth Amendment
through the shredder, we'd be under constant terrorist attacks!

Well thanks in large part to your efforts,
Campaign for Liberty has thus far, prevented reauthorization of
the so-called "USA Freedom Act" this year -- the Deep State's
crown jewel with some of the worst surveillance provisions
originally passed in the so-called "Patriot Act."

The fact is, on policy, we're punching far
above our weight.

But to say we've had our hands full
throughout 2020 would be an understatement. And, with no end in
sight to the sustained assault on liberty we're seeing right now,
money is tight at Campaign for Liberty.

Too tight. And I truly need your help.

That's why I'm counting on your generous
support to ensure Campaign for Liberty can continue the great
work it's doing.

I've written you several times already
expressing C4L's urgent need to come up with $73,710 -- to
prevent the organization from having to go into debt or be forced
to severely curtail all of Campaign for Liberty's legislative
programs.

Despite the initial response from supporters
across the country, we still have a long way to go to close the
gap.

Falling short would be a recipe for disaster.

I'm sure there's nothing the Deep State and
Big Government politicians in BOTH parties would love to see more
than our demise.

After all, while many Americans got caught up
in the coronavirus hysteria, we've been arguably the only
roadblock to the statists' dream of TOTALLY transforming our
country under planet lockdown orders complete with H.R.
6666-style contact tracing and the forced medical interventions
Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci desire.

These "experts" haven't issued ONE accurate
model predicting COVID-19's spread and fatalities . . . they far
over-estimated the fatality rate, said Americans must be
imprisoned at home -- and to trust the government to make the
right decisions.

. . . These "experts" that are now ramping
back up the coronavirus hysteria and demanding Congress and the
Federal Reserve work together to keep flooding their
politically-connected corporate cronies with taxpayer cash.

. . . "Experts" who say Americans won't care
if they see their life-savings dwindle, but politically-connected
BILLIONAIRES get richer.

We've seen our national debt explode to over
$26 TRILLION thanks to hundreds of BILLIONS in emergency "small
business loans" that end up in the pockets of Harvard and the Los
Angeles Lakers NBA team and the social welfare crowd.

I'm sure you care, Patriot. I certainly do.

Considering the gravity of these times, I
believe all of us who believe in liberty, limited government, and
our constitutional freedoms have a duty to fight back.

But without your action today, I'm worried we
may be unable to muster little more than a whimper based on our
current financial situation.

That would be a tragedy. Especially
considering how far you and I have come over the past 12+ years
since my 2008 presidential run!

In the years leading up to that campaign, GOP
members of Congress just simply fell in line for then-President
George W. Bush's so-called "PATRIOT" Act, the "No Child Left
Behind" Act, and Medicare Part D.

And the late-Senator John McCain ultimately
became the GOP's 2008 presidential nominee -- all while running
on a platform that included expanded war all over the globe,
endless government spying, "Cap and Tax," and "Comprehensive
Immigration Reform" (complete with a National ID Scheme)!

You see, statists ALWAYS believe the problem
is our freedom.

So their fixes are ALWAYS the same -- bigger
and more expensive government.

Like many folks all over the country, I
realized that if something didn't change -- FAST -- there would
not be much left of the free country you and I love.

That's why I decided to run for president in
2008 -- to ensure the principles of liberty the Founders laid
down for us in the U.S. Constitution were given a voice.

But never in my wildest dreams could I have
envisioned the political EXPLOSION you and I would set off.

In 2008, discussion of the Federal Reserve
was hardly a blip on the political radar screen.

Frankly, I was astounded at the response I
received on the campaign trail in 2008 when I explained how the
Fed's print-now, ask-questions-later policies were at the root of
everything we still hate about Washington, D.C.

In 2012, just four years later, we passed
Audit the Fed through the U.S. House with an overwhelming
three-fourths margin!

Today, even with Nancy Pelosi holding the
reins as Speaker of the House, I believe we can pass it with
votes from both parties -- if we succeed in forcing a vote.

And we're only a handful of votes shy of
passing it in the U.S. Senate.

Thanks to Campaign for Liberty supporters'
help, we've also:

*** STOPPED every attempt (so far) to RAM
their National ID database scheme into law. If passed, this
scheme would allow government to create a database of EVERY
American citizen -- including everything from gun ownership
records and political activity, to love interests.

*** Stood strong against "Cap and Tax" and
all other faux "environmental" schemes. Sadly, with the advent
of the so-called "Green New Deal," this scheme is back -- and is
now being touted by both parties as a "compromise!"

*** Stymied bipartisan rushes to gun control
in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut and Parkland, Florida
tragedies.

*** Created a massive grassroots backlash
against government spying programs. This battle is still ongoing
-- and I dare say, it's a fight we're beginning to win with the
American people!

As I mentioned, thanks in large part to your
efforts, Campaign for Liberty has thus far, prevented
reauthorization of the so-called "USA Freedom Act" this year with
some of the worst surveillance provisions originally passed in
the so-called "Patriot Act."

Of course, our progress hasn't come without a
price.

For nearly three years, Campaign for Liberty
was involved in a standoff with the IRS that was demanding we
turn over the names, addresses, and other personal information of
our most generous supporters.

Even in the face of the crippling daily fines
the IRS was threatening us with, I told our staff to give them
nothing.

I knew that publicizing our most generous
supporters' names would open them up to political backlash from
power-hungry bureaucrats.

That legal standoff only ended two years ago
when the IRS finally notified us they were backing down.

Now, we have a new "crisis" -- COVID-19.

One phrase that's been bandied about
thousands of times this year is "new normal."

We've been told we aren't going back to the
old normal.

Well, if there's one thing this year has
convinced me of, it's the "new normal" they want is full-blown
authoritarian socialism.

Quite simply, that means adherence to a
"bureaucrats-know-best" philosophy.

You get less freedom. And the "experts" get
more freedom to control you, your life, your job, your beliefs,
what you can and can't teach your kids, where you can go, what
you're "allowed" to own, think, read, eat, and smoke.

And it's this idea you and I must DESTROY.

If we don't, American freedom will not
survive.

It's that simple.

The good news is, I believe Americans are
getting fed up today.

They don't just want the freedoms they had
BEFORE COVID-19.

They want the "experts" boots off of their
neck, so you and I can live our own lives.

Americans are growing angry at how the
"experts" have railroaded us. From the very beginning, I called
the COVID-19 scare a "hoax" -- a "hoax" designed to kill more of
our freedoms.

That became patently obvious after over 1,200
of these "experts" signed an open letter supporting the George
Floyd protests that led to violence and looting in cities
worldwide but insisted "this should not be confused with a
permissive stance on all gatherings, particularly protests
against stay-at-home orders."

Now more Americans than ever before are open
to our message of freedom -- arguably more open than any other
time since the start of Campaign for Liberty.

But as it stands now, I don't have the
resources to create the ROAR of opposition both parties need to
hear.

As I mentioned, Campaign for Liberty's bank
accounts are dangerously low.

Virtually every organization in Washington,
D.C. runs into financial rough patches now and then. The
difference is, other organizations can often call up a wealthy
donor or two and ask for some help.

Sometimes that comes with strings attached --
like the insistence that an organization "go easy" on a member of
Congress who's recently become a traitor.

In forming Campaign for Liberty, I made a
pledge to myself, my staff, and our supporters that we would
never play those Washington, D.C. games.

We're not interested in grabbing nice news
headlines or getting invited to the fancy cocktail parties with
the media, sleazy lobbyists, and politicians. We're interested
in standing strong for principle -- and making a difference.

That's why, for the most part, Campaign for
Liberty is still fueled by the good folks who helped my 2008
presidential campaign raise $6 million -- $100, $50, and $35 at a
time.

So after raising such a massive amount of
money in one day, it seems like raising $73,710 in under two
weeks shouldn't be that tough, right?

The answer is, no. It shouldn't be that hard
-- if I can count on your generosity.

Often times, when Republicans hold the White
House and/or Congress, many grassroots patriots -- many of them
solid pro-liberty folks -- will stop giving as much as they used
to.

Some "experts" say that's because the
grassroots get frustrated with the GOP's broken promises and
"tune out." Others think some in the grassroots don't think
there's anything to worry about if a Republican is in the White
House.

All you have to do is look back to the George
W. Bush years or the events of the past few months to realize
what a mistake in thinking that is!

Another problem is that -- during election
years like 2020 -- many people choose to give to deserving
candidates they want to see elected. That means fewer
contributions to Campaign for Liberty.

Campaign for Liberty is run on a shoestring
budget. We do all we can to carefully spend every red cent
making the biggest difference. That means when contributions
start to run dry, we feel it. Big time.

So please don't put this aside or think that
someone else will carry the load. Will you please act?

Campaign for Liberty supporters have never
let me down before. Over the past ten years, we've made so much
progress together.

And I still believe we have so much more to
achieve in the future -- together. But defeating the statists
and renewing liberty in America can't happen without paying the
bills.

If I can't raise the $73,710, I will not put
Campaign for Liberty in debt -- even though I believe we'll be
back on firm financial footing very soon. I pledged never to do
so, I am not going to start now.

Another game I won't play is asking the
federal government for a bailout -- something The New York Times
reports that at least one other supposedly "conservative"
organization is doing.

The truth is, Campaign for Liberty is not my
organization. It's yours.

It belongs to the tens of thousands of
grassroots patriots all over the country who helped take the
Liberty Movement from nothing to a major force in modern American
politics.

None of what we've fought for and
accomplished could have been possible without you. So I'm
writing to ask you to reinvest in what you helped start with a
generous contribution of $100 or at least $50 today.

I know that's a lot to ask for.

But without your support, program cuts will
be the only option. I don't want to be forced to make this
decision. I hope you agree.

Of course, if $100 or $50 is just
too much, please agree to $25 or at least $10.

Your support would mean the world to me right
now -- and help Campaign for Liberty continue making a world of
difference.

We're running out of time before I have to
decide whether or not to make cuts.

So please agree to your most generous
contribution of $100, $50, or at least $25 or
$10 today.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. With all the resources we've been forced
to spend this year, I'm growing more concerned by the day. Money
is tight. Too tight.

I have to raise $73,710 in under two weeks to
avoid making serious program cuts.

Will you please agree to your most generous
contribution of $100, $50, or at least $25 or
$10 TODAY?
