Dear Patriot,

When Donald Trump was running for president in 2024 and FISA Section 702 was up for renewal, he forcefully ordered lawmakers to “KILL FISA.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) smugly defied Trump when he became the DECIDING VOTE to continue the unconstitutional warrantless mass surveillance of American citizens.

Now that Trump is president, he appears willing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by asking lawmakers to renew Section 702 with no changes.

That’s the bad news.

But there might be a little good news, too.

Your action on this issue has gotten the attention of some lawmakers who have been good on this issue in the past.

Inside sources are now reporting new “Fourth Amendment text” is being drafted to amend Section 702 before it is brought to the floor.

There is no way to know what the amendment will look like right now.

But according to Rep. Clay Higgins, who considers himself to be a “constitutionalist,” he’ll be “satisfied” with an amendment addressing “American citizens who were subject to search or query in some way.”

That means he’ll compromise away your right to a warrant in exchange for some kind of protection AFTER your rights have been violated.

THAT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

And based on Speaker Johnson’s prior shenanigans, it is clear you and I cannot let up until this battle is won!

The fight over FISA Section 702 is about to come to a head — and everything we’ve warned about is happening.

House Speaker Mike Johnson and House leadership could attempt to FORCE through a long-term renewal of Section 702 with little debate and no meaningful warrant protections for Americans.

This is how it works in the Swamp when they think the public isn’t paying attention.

They move fast.

They bury the details.

They hope you won’t notice until it’s too late.

But we are paying attention — and we’re not backing down.

WHAT’S AT STAKE

Section 702 has been used by the Deep State to justify warrantless surveillance of Americans’ communications — something that directly conflicts with the Fourth Amendment.

Instead of fixing this abuse by requiring a warrant, leadership in Congress appears ready to:Lock in these powers for yearsAvoid real reformExpand surveillance authority behind closed doors

If they succeed, the opportunity to fix this might disappear for years.

THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS ARE CRITICAL

This is the moment where grassroots pressure can make the difference.

We are preparing to:Mobilize more activists across the countryFlood congressional offices with calls and messagesExpose backroom deals and rushed votesDemand “No Warrant Requirement, No Reauthorization”

But we need the resources to do it — and we need them right now.

First, if you haven’t already signed your “Warrants or Bust!” postcard to your representative ([link removed]), sign here now.

And then, CHIP IN TO FIGHT BACK ([link removed]).

If you believe the government should have to get a warrant before spying on Americans, we need you with us.

Your donation today ([link removed]) will help us go after those representatives who have demanded a warrant requirement in the past but may change their tunes now that the Trump administration wants renewal with no reforms.

Our initial list of targets is Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chip Roy (R-TX), Tim Burchett (R-TN), Judiciary Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Tom McClintock (R-CA), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris (R-MD), Harriet Hageman (R-WY), and Zoe Lofgren (D-MD).

That’s quite a few representatives we’ll be targeting, but it has to be done.

Please make a contribution now so Campaign for Liberty can fund these efforts to stop a warrantless 702 renewal ([link removed]).

This is a defining fight.

If leadership rams this through, it will be one of the most significant betrayals of grassroots Americans in years — done quietly, quickly, and without accountability.

We cannot let that happen.

Stand with us. Fight back. And let Congress know: no warrants — no deal.

P.S. We are just weeks away from U.S. House leadership ramming through FISA Section 702 renewal with a long-term extension . . .

. . . You and I MUST increase our efforts and demand “No warrant requirement, no reauthorization!”

We have an initial list of ten representatives who will be targeted. They’ve been on our side in the past, but they may get cold feet now and their arms are being twisted.

This is a defining fight.
