Dear Patriot,

Dr. Paul is very concerned about
taxpayer-subsidized Big Tech tyrants who are silencing those who
don't toe the line.

He asked me to reach out to you and urge you
to sign the petition to stop this anti-liberty cronyism before it
goes any further.

Your Member of Congress and Senators needs to
know you do not support this kind of government-sponsored Big
Tech Tyranny.

I am urging you to take action at once to
ensure your voice is heard before it's too late . . . you and I
must stop the reckless move to ban anyone who doesn't toe the
line of the political class.

In Liberty,

Heather

Subject: Who will be banned next?




Dear Patriot,

Is free speech too dangerous for the Big Tech
Oligarchs and the political class they prop up?

They certainly are acting that way.

Congress sure has made a lot of noise about
reining in Big Tech recently, calling them in for hearings, but
not much progress has been made, if any at all.

We certainly felt the out-of-control nature
of their censorship this week, when I was locked out of posting
on my main Facebook page for about 24 hours.

Facebook claimed, "multiple community
guideline violations," but in 13-plus years, we've never had an
issue or warnings regarding our content.

In fact, since 2007 when I launched my run
for president, the internet has had countless posts by my team
and my supporters and rarely, if ever, have they violated a
single rule!

It seems that in their rush to destroy
President Trump, Big Tech is willing to cast a wide enough net to
destroy the message of liberty as well.

I think it's time these platforms have a
reckoning … with reality.

I do owe so many of you a "thank you" for
spreading the message about this ban, because I can reasonably
assume that it would have lasted a lot longer than 24 hours and
may have even been permanent!

Facebook's team said this was all "a mistake"
and no hard feelings.

Patriot, I'm not exactly buying their
explanation.

I'm worried we may be taken offline by any
one of the tech platforms we rely on! They have the ability to
bring our operations to a standstill until we find working
alternatives.

It seems like Facebook (and others) are now
trying to be a force of exclusion instead of an inclusive
platform, and I think that's a shame.

Unfortunately, I expect to see more of this
type of behavior.

It's time to send a message to Congress that
we're fed up with the Big Tech bullies, who've benefited greatly
from very favorable treatment in Washington.

Click here now to sign the petition calling
for the end of the cronyism that has allowed these companies to
prosper while destroying their competition.

The argument that the Big Tech companies are
private and can "do whatever they want" continues to be used, but
it ignores the origin of these companies and their continued
subsidies from government entities.

In fact, Facebook alone has benefited from
hundreds of millions of dollars in direct taxpayer-funded
subsidies, which is an unthinkable amount for most Americans that
they'll never be eligible for.

Not only that, but they've been able to
operate as publishers, making editorial decisions about content
while enjoying the protections as "platforms" under the
Communications Decency Act, Section 230.

While I'm not necessarily in favor of
"reforms" which could actually backfire, I think it's time to
start being honest about what these companies really are.

They have certainly abused this protection,
and it's time for them to feel the heat from Congress
immediately.

But in order for Facebook, Twitter, YouTube,
and the other platforms and providers to feel Congressional heat,
Congress must first feel the heat from you!

Sign the petition now!

Then please rush a donation of $35, $75, or
even $100 to help keep Campaign for Liberty online and find
alternative platforms, because we very easily could be next.

The targeting of certain organizations by Big
Tech due to their political opinions is nothing new. For years
we've been hearing that it's up to those who've gotten a raw deal
to start their own platforms.

And some have stepped up, like Parler, for
example. Parler saw a rapid influx of new users when the
president's Twitter account was deleted.

Big Tech responded to this threat by taking
them offline completely because they had been using another
heavily subsidized company, Amazon, to host their site.

Of course, now they're suing Amazon, but
anyone who has gone up against the elitist law firms that protect
Big Tech from litigation knows this is a long, expensive, and
often very fruitless pursuit.

Sign the petition to stop Big Tech cronyism.


We continue to be optimistic these issues
will be worked out, but rest assured we're proactively looking at
backup options for many of the vendors we use due to all the
uncertainty. And at the same time, moving to an unknown and
unpopular platform restricts how far the message of liberty can
go.

I'm able to post from my Facebook account
again . . . for now, but they've certainly proven there's no
guarantee that we'll be able to remain there in the future.

Even YouTube was giving me trouble recently
and started to restrict my internet show without a good
explanation in that case either. Now we have some backup options
for that.

We've greatly benefitted from being able to
use the large and established social media platforms, but those
days could be coming to an end rapidly.

That doesn't just go for us, but for many
others who don't align politically with the likes of Facebook,
Twitter, Google/YouTube, Instagram, and others.

While we at Campaign for Liberty don't
celebrate any company suffering financially, it is telling that
Facebook and Twitter have lost a combined $51,000,000,000 over
the last week of banning and censorship.

The market will speak more loudly than
anything.

Sign your No More Big Tech Cronyism Petition
now, and please consider a generous donation to keep Campaign for
Liberty online and delivering our message of individual liberty
and freedom, which is needed now more than ever.

These types of changes will have to be made
at great expense if they become necessary, but we need to be
ready to make the jump if we need to.

Thank you for your dedication to this cause
-- we are more determined than ever to fight for access to free
speech online.

In liberty,

Ron Paul, M.D.
Chairman
