Patriot,

It’s back . . .

Last month, because of efforts and pressure from patriots like you, FISA Section 702 lapsed when Congress couldn’t agree on renewal.

But last week, the Senate confirmed Jay Clayton as the new Director of National Intelligence.

Some Democrat senators refused to vote for FISA renewal simply on the grounds of who was keeping the director’s seat warm.

Now Majority Leader John Thune is hoping to RAM 702 renewal through before the Senate leaves town for the remainder of the month.

“We will have a permanent director of national intelligence in place shortly. And I hope this will encourage my colleagues to stop blocking the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act,” Thune said.

But having a palatable director in place doesn’t make Section 702 constitutional. Our government should never be allowed to spy on you and me without a warrant!

Grassroots patriots like YOU threw a wrench into their plans to renew one of the most dangerous surveillance powers ever handed to the federal government — FISA Section 702.

And now the Swamp is fighting back
with everything it has.

Section 702 – the Deep State’s “crown jewel” – has been abused time after time.

The FISA Court itself said the government committed “widespread violations” of the rules governing searches of Americans.A declassified FISA Court opinion from 2022 revealed that the FBI ran about 278,000 improper searches of Americans.

Now, many former Section 702 opponents in Congress have changed their tune.

They seem to be content the government has conducted “only” 70,000-plus warrantless searches of Americans’ phone calls, text messages, and emails.

Patriot, you and I put the pressure on Congress and stopped Section 702 renewal in June.

And we can do it again! ([link removed])

The mainstream media constantly “reports” Section 702 allows the U.S. intelligence community to gather information on foreigners.

But time and time and time again, they’ve used FISA 702 to spy on innocent Americans.

They apologize . . . and then do it again.

You and I need to put the pressure on Congress to slam the door on warrantless spying on Americans.

Tell Congress: If you want my text messages, my emails, my phone calls. . .

Respect the U.S. Constitution and GET A WARRANT!

Sign your “Get a Warrant” directive to your U.S. Senators now. ([link removed])

Demand they follow the Constitution.

We beat this before, and we can do it again.

Tell them to OPPOSE any extension of FISA Section 702 unless ironclad warrant protections for Americans are included.

And be sure to share the petition with your liberty-minded friends and family.

The establishment is counting on grassroots activists like you getting tired, distracted, and discouraged.

We can’t let that happen.

Campaign for Liberty is mobilizing activists across the country, generating calls into congressional offices, sending emergency alerts, organizing pressure campaigns, and exposing politicians who are trying to sell out your privacy rights behind closed doors.

But fighting the surveillance state is not easy.

The intelligence agencies have unlimited taxpayer money, corporate media allies, and powerful lobbyists all working overtime to protect Section 702.

What we have is YOU.

Your activism.

Your voice.

Your willingness to fight back before it’s too late.

And right now, we urgently need resources to keep this fight going.

Can you make an emergency contribution to Campaign for Liberty today so we can continue mobilizing grassroots pressure against the Swamp’s latest attempt to renew Section 702?

Every dollar helps us:

•Mobilize activists nationwide
•Flood congressional offices with calls and emails
•Run emergency digital campaigns
•Expose politicians cutting backroom deals
•Fight for the Fourth Amendment and the Constitution

The political class wants Americans to believe mass surveillance is “normal.”

They’ll tell you it’s for your own safety.

But . . .

It’s NOT normal.

And It’s NOT constitutional!

If we do not stop them now, the surveillance state will only grow larger, more powerful, and more dangerous.

This is one of the defining liberty fights of our time.

Sign your petition to your U.S. Senators now and tell them: ([link removed])

NO warrant requirement . . . NO deal.

Then please make the most generous contribution you can ([link removed]) to help Campaign for Liberty continue this critical battle.

Maybe it’s $5. Maybe it’s $500. Or maybe it’s $5,000.

Just know this . . . The Deep State is desperate.

But you and I have pushed them to the brink and now is not the time to give up.

For Liberty,

John McCardell
Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty
