Patriot,

With just a few months to go before The Swamp temporarily drains as legislators return to their home districts to campaign for re-election, your liberties are squarely in the crosshairs.

The authoritarians in Congress have a jam-packed anti-liberty agenda, including warrantless mass surveillance, unsustainable spending increases, funding no-win wars and foreign aid, and more.

And the window is closing on this golden opportunity to finally pass Audit the Fed and BAN a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

Campaign for Liberty simply must nail down our plans for the coming weeks.

That’s where you come in, Patriot.

As Dr. Paul mentioned in his message below, we can only fight on so many fronts at once, and we need to know which of our critical 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.

After you complete your survey, please consider your most generous donation of $25, $50, $100, or $250 to help us fund these critical battles.

Without the support of patriots like you, Patriot, we simply won’t be able to run even a full program on any one of these critical battles, let alone all of them.

In fact, we may be looking at massive cuts without your help today.

So please fill out your survey and let us know how to proceed.

For Liberty,

John McCardell
Executive Director

Patriot,

It’s almost hard to believe we are almost halfway through this year.

After the past many weeks fighting Congress on FISA Section 702 renewal, you’d think we might have a chance to breathe a bit.

But no.

While Congress is out this week (which means they can’t inflict any more damage on our nation for the time being!), there is certainly much work to do.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has a packed agenda for the next six weeks before Congress shuts down for much of the summer (so they can presumably campaign rather than govern).

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 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 – now due to expire in mid-June, it's critical we keep the pressure on Congress to END warrantless mass surveillance of Americans.

Your Campaign for Liberty has been a leading voice on this issue.

There are many in Congress who we thought were on the right side of government spying.

But instead of holding to their ideals and following the Constitution, they’re toeing the party line instead.

• We've been fighting to BAN the Central Bank Digital Currency. The House of Representatives passed a bill to BAN the CBDC months ago, 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 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 battle is in the works. We won some rescissions when some DOGE cuts were made permanent, but Congress managed to find more ways to spend and increase our national debt to over $39.209 TRILLION!

• 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 in Iran is on a tenuous ceasefire one day and back to attacks the next. This is another quagmire that hurts Americans more than it helps them.

And of course . . .

• 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 my son, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), has reintroduced Audit the Fed in the Senate, 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.

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 ([link removed]).

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?

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.

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 the support of patriots like you, 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 $250 or more TODAY ([link removed])?

I know, for many, that’s a lot during these trying times.
If $250 is just too much, please agree to your most generous contribution of $100, $50 or at least $25 IMMEDIATELY ([link removed])!

Patriot, this could not be more serious. The stakes are higher for our country than ever before. I’m counting on you.

So please return your Mid-Year Supporter Ballot to me right away and tell me how to proceed ([link removed]).

For liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. A special Mid-Year Campaign for Liberty Supporter Ballot is at this link. ([link removed])

In the next few days, I must nail down Campaign for Liberty’s most crucial plans for the coming weeks, but I can’t do that without hearing from you first.

So please fill out your Supporter Ballot and submit it right away along with your most generous contribution of $250, $100, $50, or at least $25 at once ([link removed])!
