Take a stand                                                                                        


Dear Patriot,

This isn’t an easy email for me to write to you, but I hope you'll read this all the way to the end.

Quite frankly, I'm worried.

This week, the U.S. Senate voted to pass the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” – which is certainly very big, but not beautiful at all.

While some parts of the initial bill were good – tax cuts, cutting some government waste, and my No Tax on Tips idea – there is plenty of bad that made it through:

>> $150 billion more for the Pentagon, boosting their budget to over $1 TRILLION. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a strong national defense. But when we’ve been sending millions and billions of your money to wars overseas rather than building a defense, I have a problem.

>> Increasing the debt ceiling by $5 TRILLION! With all of the talk about cutting waste, fraud, and abuse in our government, now Congress wants to take the “burden” of increasing the national debt without having to go on record with a separate vote, especially before an election.

>> The national debt is expected to go up by $3.8 TRILLION in less than a decade because of the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” The debt just surpassed $37 TRILLION, and now there isn’t an end in sight!

>> And much, much more!

You and I fought against the BBB. Some have criticized me for opposing Donald Trump on this.

But the reality is you and I must fight the bad and applaud the good.

And in the process, Campaign for Liberty has suffered.

I’m worried our ability to fight back is shrinking with each passing day. Money is tight at Campaign for Liberty. Too tight.

I need your help.

Whether it’s refusing to pass the DOGE budget cuts, record-breaking spending bills, or continuing and growing unlawful mass surveillance programs – the new Congress has been a major disappointment.

To say Campaign for Liberty’s plates have been full this year would be an understatement.

Yet, there’s no end in sight.

Most Americans agree our national debt is out of control.

And yet, if you look on social media and see what conservatives are saying, many are outright attacking my son, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), and Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) who opposed the latest bill.

Incredibly, many self-proclaimed “conservative influencers” are attacking Rand and Thomas for the crime of being principled, and not supporting the bill that Elon Musk accurately called “an abomination.”

We are in the same boat, for the same reason: We do not kowtow to the party line, and we stand against fiscal recklessness, against illegal wars, and against unconstitutional warrantless surveillance of Americans.

And because we are taking on these unpopular fights, we're taking a huge hit.

Patriot, we are counting on your support to keep us in the fight for liberty. We're taking a stand because these are the right battles to fight, no matter who is in the White House.



With Congress and the Federal Reserve working together to flood politically connected corporate cronies with taxpayer cash, we’ve seen our national debt explode to over $37,048,825,000,000 (that’s almost $40 TRILLION)!

That’s $323,052 for every American taxpayer!!

And the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” is only the beginning of the spending measures this year. Congress still needs to pass a full budget in September!

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.

We only have a short time to re-evaluate our plans and be forced to severely curtail all of Campaign for Liberty’s legislative programs.

You see, Campaign for Liberty doesn’t have fat cat lobbyist friends who send us $100,000 or $250,000 or more (or anything close to that) to fight for liberty and take on Big Government.

In fact, the Big Government statists do all they can do shut you and me up!

I’m sure there’s nothing the Deep State and Big Government politicians in BOTH parties would love to see more than our demise – especially considering how far you and I have come over the past 17 years since my 2008 presidential run and the founding of Campaign for Liberty!

The popular Internet meme “Ron Paul Was Right” makes me chuckle a bit. I’m not looking for credit, but I wonder what state our country would be in if more expert politicians had listened to me years ago.

The “experts” have proven to be wrong time and time again . . .

. . . “Experts” who said Iraq would be a cakewalk.

. . . “Experts” who said American troops would be in and out of Afghanistan.

. . . “Experts” who said Americans were too stupid to understand the Federal Reserve system or monetary policy.

. . . “Experts” who said 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!

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 years ago that if something didn’t change – FAST – there would not be much left of the free country you and I love.

The Big Government establishment and media took it for granted that Americans had given up on the Constitution. They believed nobody really believed in limited government anymore.

My campaigns and efforts proved them wrong, wrong, wrong!

But the truth is, it wasn’t really me at all who accomplished that. It was you and good folks like you from all over the country who chose to take a stand for liberty.

Over the past seventeen years, you and I have racked up some tremendous victories together.

Thanks to Campaign for Liberty supporters’ help, we have:

***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 fake “environmental” schemes. Sadly, with the advent of the so-called “Green New Deal,” this scheme is back – and very nearly funded in the “Big, Beautiful Bill!”

***Stymied bipartisan knee-jerk rushes to gun control in the wake of the shooting 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!

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 when the IRS finally notified us they were backing down.

We were only able to achieve these victories with your support, and because of that, we will NEVER violate the privacy of our donors.

But with congressional Republicans now embracing reckless spending and endless wars, I'm worried we are backsliding.

When you stand up for what's right rather than what's popular, someone's always mad at you. We are as over the target as our bill sponsors are. But without help from our supporters, we're not going to make it.

The “experts” and politicians in Washington, D.C. all think you and I just don’t care as much as we used to.

The unfortunate truth is, too many well-meaning patriots have simply been lulled into complacency by the Republican victories in the last election.

Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Anthony Fauci, and the litany of those who opposed liberty at every step might be gone . . .

. . . but the battle for liberty in America is always raging.

When Democrats hold the reins of power in Washington, D.C., there’s a public uproar against their Big Government schemes.

But historically, that’s died out as soon as Republicans take control.

The grassroots stop being afraid. Many stop taking action. They stop giving. They stop fighting.

Nothing ever gets repealed. Little if any progress is made.

Instead, the banksters and deep-pocketed insider lobbyists become the only voices the politicians hear when the grassroots stop sounding the alarm.

I’m afraid this is what the so-called “experts” in Washington, D.C. think is beginning to happen yet again.

But just like they were WRONG about everything from Covid policy to the Federal Reserve’s “print-now-ask-questions-later” policies, I’m hoping and praying they’re WRONG now too.

That's why we are counting on you to support us in these critical fights. Maybe you can donate $1,000 or $500 or $200 or $100 today, or only $50. But every bit helps.

If you do, I believe this time can be different.

It has to be.

The truth is, I worry you and I may not have many opportunities left to turn things around if we don’t take action now.

Every missed opportunity could be our last.

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. And our summer months are usually lean. 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 give $200, $100, $50, or $10 at a time.

Compared to what Congress spends on a regular basis, it seems like raising $33,710 in the next three weeks shouldn’t be that tough, right?

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



But oftentimes – especially in these post-election years – many people choose to look away from politics and hope things will work out for a while.

That means fewer contributions to Campaign for Liberty.

And now, with the Republicans holding the White House, the Senate, and the House, people are assuming their liberties are safe.

Unfortunately, the facts prove otherwise. Big Government cronies are always hard at work, and too often, you, me and Campaign for Liberty are the only opposition.

Campaign for Liberty runs 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 lay this email aside or think that someone else will carry the load. Will you please act now?

Campaign for Liberty supporters have never let me down before. Over the past seventeen 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 $33,710 we need now, 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 go into debt – I am not going to start now.

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 $1,000, $500, $250, or even $150 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 $1,000 or $500 or $250 or $150 is too much to ask for, what about starting with $50, or even $25?

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

By the time you read this, I’ll have only three weeks before having to decide whether or not to make cuts.

So please agree to your most generous contribution of $500, $250, or at least $50 or $25 today.

In Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. Patriot, 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 $33,710 in the next three weeks to avoid making serious program cuts. Sadly, the Republican-controlled Congress has given us fight after fight. You and I must be prepared to continue to advocate for fiscal responsibility, sound money, free markets, a non-interventionist foreign policy . . . and liberty for all!
