Dear Patriot,
They've stopped talking about it.
That's exactly why you should be worried.
Just a few years ago, politicians, central bankers, and global institutions couldn't stop talking about Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
They insisted a digital dollar was the "future" and Americans needed to embrace a new era of government-controlled money.
They told you the rest of the world was moving ahead and adopting a CBDC so we should too.
But many Americans were rightly concerned about the government controlling our bank accounts . . . telling you what you could do with YOUR money . . . where you could spend it or donate it.
And worse, having the ability to freeze your account with the click of a button.
Despite the Fed not having the authority to implement a CBDC without explicit approval from Congress, they were working behind the scenes . . . putting the pieces in place, hiring programmers, working with foreign central banks.
Former Fed Chairman Jerome Powell insisted the Fed wouldn’t move forward with a CBDC without approval.
But still, the work went on behind the scenes.
Campaign for Liberty and great supporters like you have been pushing back against the CBDC for several years, making what sounds like a simple technological advancement into a real issue that most Americans oppose when they find out what a CBDC really is.
When Donald Trump came back to the White House in 2025, he issued an executive order banning a CBDC.
End of story, right?
Many Americans assumed the threat had disappeared.
It didn’t.
And then just last week, a bill related to housing became law.
Attached to the bill was a 4-year ban on a CBDC.
You and I fought for a permanent ban but had to settle for this temporary ban – for now.
And through all of this, what’s come out of the Fed . . .
Silence.
While the headlines have faded, the Federal Reserve openly admits on its website it continues researching and experimenting with CBDC technology, conducting technical experiments and collaborating with other institutions on digital currency projects.
The Fed says it has made no decision to issue a CBDC, but it also makes clear the research continues behind the scenes.
That's exactly how dangerous government programs often advance -- not with loud announcements, but quietly, while the public looks elsewhere and is distracted with other issues.
And that’s why you and I should be really worried.
Patriot, a programmable digital dollar could give Washington unprecedented power over Americans' financial lives.
Imagine a system where every transaction can be monitored.
Where your spending can be tracked.
Where your financial privacy disappears.
Where bureaucrats could one day decide what purchases are permitted -- or even freeze access to your money because of your political or religious beliefs . . . because they don’t think you need to buy a gun or ammo . . . or just because.
Whether that nightmare arrives tomorrow or years from now, the infrastructure is still being explored and developed.
If defenders of liberty wait until a CBDC is officially announced, it may already be too late.
That's why Campaign for Liberty is refusing
to let this issue disappear.
And that’s exactly why you and I cannot be silent at this point.
Today I'm asking you to do two important things.
>> First, sign your postcard ([link removed]) demanding Congress permanently block any attempt to create a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency and protect Americans' financial privacy.
Tell Congress to slam the brakes on any testing, any infrastructure, any designing, any planning . . . tell them plain and simple: NO CBDC!
>> Then, please make a generous contribution ([link removed]) to help Campaign for Liberty keep exposing this agenda, educating Americans, and pressuring Congress to stop it permanently . . . before a CBDC ever becomes reality.
The establishment would love nothing more than for Americans to believe the CBDC debate is over.
Don't let them win through silence.

P.S. The greatest danger isn't always what politicians and statists announce publicly -- it's what continues quietly while everyone else has moved on.
The Federal Reserve continues CBDC research and experimentation despite an executive order and now a 4-year ban passed by Congress.
You and I need to slam the door shut on a CBDC.
[link removed] ([link removed])
We need to make the ban permanent, and we need to tell Congress to let the Fed know they need to stop planning and building and testing.
In four years, when the ban expires, if you and I remain silent now, the Fed will be ready to roll out a CBDC on day 1.
Please sign your postcard to Congress today ([link removed]) and make your most generous contribution ([link removed]) so Campaign for Liberty can keep fighting to stop a government-controlled digital dollar before it's too late.
