John,


Just days ago, independent journalist Nick Shirley walked into the California
State Capitol with a camera and confronted the Democrat lawmakers who are
trying to silence him.



Most of them scattered. The few who stayed had no real answers.



Why the panic?



Because California Democrats are fast-tracking AB 2624 — already being called
the“Stop Nick Shirley Act.”



This bill would make it a crime for citizen journalists like Nick to film or
post videos of publicly funded facilities — exactly the kind of on-the-ground
investigative work Nick has been doing in California and Minnesota.



If this bill passes, Nick’s ability to expose taxpayer fraud in government
programs could be severely crippled — or even criminalized — with fines up to
$10,000 and forced content removal.



Think about what that means:


* Nick’s explosive Minnesota daycare fraud investigation that forced
Congress to take notice?
* His on-the-ground reporting in California exposing waste and abuse in
government programs?
* Future investigations into hospice fraud, voter roll issues, or any other
taxpayer-funded facility?

All of it could be criminalized under this new law. The message from
Sacramento Democrats is crystal clear:“Stop exposing the fraud… or we’ll make
sure you can’t.”



And the ultimate irony? The same lawmakers who authored and voted to advance
this bill watched Nick Shirley walk right up to them in their own Capitol
building, microphone in hand, and ask them point-blank why they’re trying to
criminalize investigative journalism.



They had no good answer.



That’s why Lincoln Media Foundation exists — and why we’re asking for your
help again today.



LMF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that directly funds independent journalists like
Nick Shirley. We cover the real costs of his work — travel, filming, editing,
distribution, and security — so he can keep investigating stories the
mainstream media refuses to touch.



Right now, your tax-deductible donation to LMF will go toward supporting Nick
Shirley and protecting his ability to continue this critical work in the face
of this new threat.
