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?
