Friend,
Just days ago, independent journalist Nick Shirley walked into the Californ=
ia State Capitol with a camera and confronted the Democrat lawmakers who ar=
e trying to silence him.
=20
Most of them scattered. The few who stayed had no real answers.

kshirley_2026&utm_term=3D
Why the panic?
=20
Because California Democrats are fast-tracking AB 2624 =E2=80=94 already be=
ing called the =E2=80=9CStop Nick Shirley Act.=E2=80=9D
=20
This bill would make it a crime for citizen journalists like Nick to film o=
r post videos of publicly funded facilities =E2=80=94 exactly the kind of o=
n-the-ground investigative work Nick has been doing in California and Minne=
sota.
=20
If this bill passes, Nick=E2=80=99s ability to expose taxpayer fraud in gov=
ernment programs could be severely crippled =E2=80=94 or even criminalized =
=E2=80=94 with fines up to $10,000 and forced content removal.
=20
Think about what that means:
Nick=E2=80=99s explosive Minnesota daycare fraud investigation that for=
ced Congress to take notice?
His on-the-ground reporting in California exposing waste and abuse in g=
overnment programs?
Future investigations into hospice fraud, voter roll issues, or any oth=
er taxpayer-funded facility?
All of it could be criminalized under this new law. The message from Sacram=
ento Democrats is crystal clear: =E2=80=9CStop exposing the fraud=E2=80=A6 =
or we=E2=80=99ll make sure you can=E2=80=99t.=E2=80=9D
=20
And the ultimate irony? The same lawmakers who authored and voted to advanc=
e 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=E2=80=99re=
trying to criminalize investigative journalism.
=20
They had no good answer.
=20
That=E2=80=99s why Lincoln Media Foundation exists =E2=80=94 and why we=E2=
=80=99re asking for your help again today.

Lincoln Media Foundation
Friend,
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.
[link removed]
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.
HELP LMF SUPPORT NICK SHIRLEY
Your gift of $10, $25, $50, or more will help us:

Then please make a tax-deductible donation today through Lincoln Media Foundation.

Lincoln Media Foundation
Friend,
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.
[link removed]
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.
HELP LMF SUPPORT NICK SHIRLEY
Your gift of $10, $25, $50, or more will help us:
Keep Nick in the field investigating government waste and fraud
Amplify videos so millions more Americans see the truth
Fight back against attempts to criminalize independent journalism
Nick doesn’t have corporate backing or political protection. He has the truth — and the support of people like you through Lincoln Media Foundation.
If you believe taxpayers deserve to know where their money is really going… If you believe citizen journalists should not be threatened with jail time for asking tough questions…
Then please make a tax-deductible donation today through Lincoln Media Foundation.

Your support will go toward powering Nick Shirley’s next investigations.
