Patriot,
With so much to do in the limited time of their term and deadlines for important bills approaching fast, you'd think Congress would be busy and going a mile a minute.
But no. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) just announced he will shut down the House tomorrow night, until after Labor Day – in order to block legislation calling for the release of files from the investigation of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
This pause does, however, give us a moment to reevaluate the situation and the issues we can take on. We have many irons in the fire right now:
• We've been fighting to stop funding no-win wars and end foreign aid. Congress is pumping an unprecedented mountain of your tax dollars into the military-industrial complex, including hundreds of billions to fund a new “Golden Dome” and foreign wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. The war between Israel and Iran is on a tenuous ceasefire that could break at any time, and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is promising to keep America mired in Ukraine.
• We've been fighting to BAN the Central Bank Digital Currency. The House of Representatives passed a bill to BAN the CBDC, but the Senate has taken no action yet. And we know getting this legislation over the finish line will be a huge battle against those who want a currency they can monitor, profile you with, and even confiscate from you.
• We've been fighting the Surveillance State and the unregulated use of AI to spy on you. With Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act – which the feds have been using to spy on millions of law-abiding Americans, millions of times – up for renewal soon, it's critical we keep the pressure on Congress to END warrantless mass surveillance of Americans.
• We've been fighting to rein in the spending, cut government waste, and balance the budget. The last spending bill was another travesty that will add trillions to the national debt, but another budget bill will be in development when Congress returns in September. We won some rescissions last week when some DOGE cuts were made permanent, but there is still a lot of room for more cuts.
• We've fought for seventeen years to Audit the Fed, and we're closer than ever to having a total victory in this term. Now that Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has reintroduced Audit the Fed, and we have Republican majorities in both chambers, plus a President who is clearly very unhappy with the Fed, this could be the year we finally get Audit the Fed done.
• And now, we may have a new battle we didn't expect: to demand transparency, accountability, and follow-through on the Jeffrey Epstein cover-up. The American people must know whether or not Epstein had ties to American and/or foreign intelligence agencies, what public figures may have been blackmailed (or doing the blackmailing), and his clients brought to justice.
The biggest impact C4L can have on liberty comes by being on the same page with supporters like you who make all we do battling back against the tyrants possible.
That’s why I hope you’ll take this quick survey my staff has prepared to gauge your opinion on the critical battles we’re facing today and those we’ll see over the coming months.

Should Campaign for Liberty focus on:
• Preventing the continued injections of so-called “military aid” to foreign countries that only serves to escalate no-win wars that are destroying whole countries and damaging our diplomatic relations across the world?
• Demanding an end to warrantless spying on Americans under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which has been used to unlawfully spy on law-abiding Americans millions of times, from concerned parents to Donald Trump himself?
• Passing Audit the Fed, and holding the banksters accountable for the secret political manipulation and debasement of the dollar?
• Prohibiting the Fed from implementing a Central Bank Digital Currency, which will utterly destroy your financial privacy and security? Under this scheme, the dollar would become an electronic currency the government could use to spy on and seize from you.
• Reining in the out-of-control federal budget, before the interest payments on the debt become completely unsustainable and America is on an unstoppable free-fall?
|• Demanding answers, accountability, and prosecutions in the Jeffrey Epstein cover-up, and exposing and shutting down any intelligence agency interference in American politics?
You probably feel, as we do, that all of these things are important. Every day, we have to assess what is most urgent.
But we can only fight on so many fronts at once, and we want to know which of these issues is most important to you.
Please take a moment to complete our brief Campaign for Liberty Supporter Survey. Your responses will help guide us on these tough decisions.

Over the past few years, you and I have fought back and won some extremely critical battles, including STOPPING statists’ worst attacks on your gun rights, ENDING authoritarian plans for vaccine passports, TERMINATING leftist assaults on the filibuster, THWARTING the worst of Biden’s “Build Back Better” scheme, SHUTTING DOWN the globalists’ WHO Pandemic Treaty, and more.
Now we have the chance to go on offense . . . and yet, we find ourselves just as often playing defense with Republicans in power.
In fact, if you’ve seen my recent mail and emails, you know the authoritarians in D.C. are working on plans to force you and me into a cashless society by ushering in a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), censoring free speech, spending your tax dollars like there’s no tomorrow, and the list goes on and on.
Focusing solely on any one area means Campaign for Liberty will simply have to let the statists in BOTH parties get their way in another. I can’t even bear to think about what that would mean for the future of our country.
That’s why, as you’ll see, I’ve included one more option on your Supporter Ballot.
That’s “FIGHT EVERYWHERE! DON’T GIVE AN INCH!”
Quite frankly, I’m worried Campaign for Liberty could be looking at massive across-the-board cuts to our programs without a massive influx of funds.
Without a massive influx of funds, I simply won’t be able to run even a full program on any one of these critical battles, let alone all of them! Fighting the statists everywhere will mean I simply must count on you to go above and beyond what you’ve done in the past.
So after you complete your ballot, can I please count on your most generous contribution of $200 TODAY?
I know, for many, that’s a lot during these trying times.
If $200 is just too much, please agree to your most generous contribution of $100, $50 or at least $25 IMMEDIATELY!
