![]() Patriot, A few days ago, the national debt of the United States hit a new record: $37 trillion. That's just the “official” source. Usdebtclock.org calculated we hit that figure months ago, and we are now well on our way to $38 trillion. Numbers this enormous are difficult to grapple with. They're hard to visualize. 37 trillion one-dollar bills, neatly stacked to the height of a two-story house, would fill 1,700 acres. Maybe this number is more effective: It's over $323,053 for every U.S. taxpayer. Does that sound like a figure you are prepared to pay down any time soon? Even more terrifying than the size of the debt is the rate of growth, which makes it increasingly difficult to ever pay down. Currently the debt is costing us over $879 billion in interest every year. That's money in our budget that can’t be used for anything else our country could need it for. It also means your taxes will only go up to help pay for the interest alone. And with the annual budget deficit now a minimum of $2 trillion per year, the figures will only get worse and worse. Our national debt is like a cancer that's growing and growing. If treated early, you might be able to remove it safely. But the longer it’s allowed to grow, it becomes difficult . . . and eventually, impossible. We weren't always at such a risk. When the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, the national debt was not even 10% of our gross domestic product. Today, it's over 120%. Ron Paul has been warning about our debt since the 1970's. He knew when America abandoned the gold standard in 1971, it was just a matter of time before the situation got out of hand. And boy, was he right: ![]() There's exactly one reason why this has happened: The Federal Reserve. Patriot, Dr. Paul has been warning about the Federal Reserve for decades, but now is the best time in decades for us to pass Audit the Fed and finally rein in this out-of-control agency wrecking our economy. Audit the Fed has passed the U.S. House twice with bipartisan support. It came close to passing the U.S. Senate with bipartisan support. And there is a president in the White House who has said he will sign it into law. Not only that, but the Trump administration is furious with the Fed, and rightly suspicious it does not have America's economic interests at heart. But the fact that Congress just passed another fiscally irresponsible bill – the so-called “big, beautiful bill” – actually gives us more leverage to pressure them. How? Because Republicans don't want to face their next election having to explain this: ![]() And yet, despite Audit the Fed being a Republican Party platform issue since 2012 . . . despite the bill passing the House with overwhelming majorities when it was put to a vote in past terms . . . you and I still need to fight every step of the way to force this bill whose time has come into law. ![]() Remember, not only is our battle to Audit the Fed an important one in itself – the Fed needs to be held accountable for the trillions it creates for secret political purposes – but keeping the Fed on defense also helps us hold the line against a Central Bank Digital Currency. Even if you have already done so, demand your Congressman Audit the Fed! Your action has worked in the past. Audit the Fed passed the U.S. House in 2012 and again in 2014 with overwhelming three-fourths majorities. Remember, in 2014, we had a Democrat-led Senate and Democrat President. This year, we can get Audit the Fed signed into law . . . if only we can FORCE them with political pressure to put it up for a vote. ![]() So after you send your Audit the Fed directive to Congress, I hope you'll follow up with a generous donation as well. The more money we raise, and the quicker we reach our goal, means the more pressure we can put on Congress to finally EXPOSE the Federal Reserve. And by keeping the Fed on defense over its secretive plans to manipulate the economy for political purposes, we prevent them from going on offense with their scheme to impose a Central Bank Digital Currency that would destroy what remains of our financial freedom and privacy. If passed, Audit the Fed would finally show the American people that the Federal Reserve System leads to: >>> Ever-expanding Big Government boondoggles
Now that politicians have figured out the Fed will just print money out of thin air to pay the bills if taxing and borrowing can’t make ends meet, the floodgates are wide open for even more of the statists’ utopian plans. >>> Constant economic crises The 2008 housing crisis and the resulting chaos is just one example of an economic bubble created by centrally planned interest rates and money manipulation. Today, inflation is out of control, and the stock market is a bubble ready to burst. >>> The destruction of the middle class As food, housing, medical care, and education costs soar, everyone who is NOT on the government dole is forced to make do with less as the value of their money sinks. >>> Currency destruction History shows us riots, violence, and a full-scale police state can result when people finally realize their money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and businesses REFUSE to accept it. And by bringing on more cosponsors, holding hearings, and passing Audit the Fed on a roll call vote, all of this will come to light. So please agree to a generous contribution today of $500, $250, or $100 IMMEDIATELY. I know that’s quite a bit to ask for. But this is a critical time. Fed apologists are going all out to stop you and me. They know if you and I actually succeed in passing Audit the Fed, Washington, D.C. will never be the same. Exposing the Fed is the first critical step toward unraveling the Big Government Leviathan that intrudes in almost every aspect of our lives. Of course, if $500, $250, or $100 just isn’t possible right now, I understand. Every dollar you give will help Campaign for Liberty get closer to our goal and finally get Audit the Fed signed into law. If $500, $250, or $100 is just too much, won’t you please agree to $50, $25, or even just $10? Thanks to the support of good folks like you, we have made giant strides in our fight to Audit the Fed since Campaign for Liberty was founded in 2008. The action and generosity of Campaign for Liberty’s dedicated members and supporters put this issue on the political map not so long ago. Now it’s up to you and me to finish the job.

The Fed's economic meddling is the reason we now have a national debt of over $323,053 per American taxpayer and interest payments ballooning in size year after year. Campaign for Liberty is fighting to break this vicious cycle, and now is the time we must strike with everything we've got. We must raise a groundswell of public outrage, led by patriots like you, to hold our politicians' feet to the fire in Congress and get Audit the Fed passed and sent to President Trump's desk. Won’t you please agree to make a generous contribution of $500, $250, $100 – or even just $50, $25, or $10 right away to help Campaign for Liberty reach our goal? ![]() If you’d prefer to donate via PayPal, please click here.
