Dear Patriot, All you have to do is turn on the TV these days to see how the Founding Fathers were right. Violence and coercion -- these ARE NOT IMAGINED threats to citizens' lives and liberties. . . not in the 18th century and not now! The Founders knew it. They understood the mob and authoritarian politicians were equal enemies to freedom and that there could be no freedom without the ability to defend it. So they included the Second Amendment in the U.S. Constitution as a xxxxxx against tyranny. Patriot, the best way to protect that right is to exercise it, which is one of the reasons my Campaign for Liberty conducts our Patriot Club AR-15 giveaways -- like the one for a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifle a lucky supporter like you could win as part of our Patriot Club membership push. But in order for "Patriot" to be automatically entered to win our Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifle giveaway, you'll need to sign up as a monthly contributor by the Monday, August 31 midnight deadline. Patriot Club members who commit to a recurring gift of $10.00 or $25.00 a month are truly modern-day “Minutemen,” providing the resources it takes for Campaign for Liberty to sound the alarm -- and alert other freedom-loving Americans to take action. I truly believe the Patriot Club has been a game-changer for the liberty movement, which is why I hope you’ll take just a moment to sign up today. For Liberty, Ron Paul Chairman
