"Breakthrough technologies with high specificity and sensitivity
for early diagnosis of neuropsychiatric violence . . . A
multi-modality solution, along with real-time data analytics, is
needed to achieve such an accurate diagnosis."

Patriot, that's the heart of one proposal the
Trump administration floated in recent weeks among its
"solutions" to "keep us safe" from gun violence.

Quite simply, it means Big Government working
hand-in-hand with Silicon Valley to decide who gets a gun and who
doesn't.

This is perhaps the scariest thing I've heard
over the course of recent weeks -- if not ever -- in BOTH
parties' mad rush to enact gun control.

To give themselves unbridled surveillance
authority as they push forward to implement this Orwellian
scheme, the statists are preparing to RAM through reauthorization
of the so-called "USA Freedom Act" -- including Sec. 215 "bulk
collection," "lone wolf," and "roving wiretap" authorities.

I'm counting on you to sign your "STOP THE
SURVEILLANCE STATE" petition IMMEDIATELY!

It's no stretch to imagine the Deep State's
ultimate goal using these powers to conduct dragnet spying
programs on law-abiding Americans. . .

. . . Eventually implementing a so-called
"social credit score" system like is now in place in China and
used to punish "discredited entities" for behavior the government
disapproves of -- even down to denying citizens the ability to
purchase plane tickets.

So, it's more than our Second Amendment
freedoms that are on the line.

The threat this would pose to our individual
liberty if implemented would be catastrophic (everything from
faith, to childrearing -- you name it).

That's why it's vital you and I strike a blow
against the surveillance state by demanding Congress oppose
reauthorization of the "USA Freedom Act!"

That the Trump administration -- which
clearly knows what it's like having the Deep State on the warpath
against you -- would even consider reauthorizing such a scheme is
jaw-dropping.

But alarm bells should be blaring when
they're insisting on extending their spying powers while at the
same time telling you and me they haven't worked!

The fact is, liberty doesn't exist just in
our freedom to do a particular thing, own a specific item, or
engage certain forms of speech -- liberty is all of those things
. . . WITHOUT government agents monitoring our actions or
exacting reprisals on you and me.

And when government undermines one aspect of
liberty, it's virtually guaranteed the power it takes will be
used to hammer shut the next link in the chains of tyranny.

That's why Campaign for Liberty has been
fighting tooth-and-nail to stop BOTH parties from gutting our
Second Amendment freedoms and it's why you and I must do all we
can to stop the Deep State's plot to cement a surveillance state
over Americans.

The good news is, with Americans increasingly
aware of the dangers of handing unbridled spying authority to the
government and growing more and more concerned with the rising
threat of censorship, now may be our best chance ever to strike a
deathblow to Big Brother.

It could also be our last.

The fact is, the Deep State is hell-bent on
collecting your (and every other American's) emails, phone
records, text messages, Internet searches, instant messages,
online purchases, and Facebook posts.

And they're not letting anything get in their
way.

As you may have seen, recent court documents
revealed the NSA illegally collected millions upon millions of
phone call and message records on innocent Americans.

Wasn't all of this supposed to have ended
after the "USA Freedom Act's" passage in 2015, which we were all
told would "reform" domestic spying procedures?

As I warned you at the time, the "USA Freedom
Act" did nothing but put a fig leaf on the situation.

Instead of the NSA collecting the private
communications of every American, Congress simply instructed
communications companies to act as the NSA's filing cabinet --
and insisted these companies jump whenever the NSA told them to.

Now, it appears the NSA can't even abide by
these laughably minimal restrictions.

As one Bloomberg News report stated, the NSA
"deliberately ignored restrictions on their authority to spy on
Americans multiple times in the past decade."

The truth is, I believe this is a fight for
the very future of our Republic.

No government in the history of mankind --
not even the Communist East German Stasi of yesteryear -- has
ever held the massive spying power our federal government holds
over law-abiding U.S. citizens today. . .

And no government in world history that's
ever sought this power has avoided the temptation for abuse.

Once the "experts" in Washington, D.C. know
how we live, it's only a matter of time until they start trying
to "fix" us by telling us what we can and can't own, read, watch,
think, listen to, and teach our kids and grandkids. . .

Of course, I know members of the Deep State
in Washington, D.C. say they're different. They just say, "trust
us and everything will be ok."

But how can we, knowing our government has
targeted political opponents like Martin Luther King, Jr.
routinely in the past?

How can we after the IRS -- under the last
president -- was caught red-handed targeting limited government
organizations?

How can we after the last administration
illegally wiretapped reporters who dared criticize them?

How can we after watching our national media
elites cheerlead for the "Russian collusion" charade and watching
the Deep State target a politician they HATE -- just for the
"crime" of winning?

I know the statists' excuse is "security."

But regardless of what buzzword they use to
defend their assaults on our freedoms, their enemy is ALWAYS the
same.

It's our privacy. Our liberty. Our "greed"
in wanting to keep some of the money we've rightfully earned.

Just since the lid was blown off our federal
government's domestic surveillance programs in the summer of
2013, we've seen story after story hit the press regarding NSA
abuses, including:

*** NSA employees spying on ex-lovers and
spouses -- a practice so common, the intelligence community has
come up with their own jargon, "LOVEINT," to describe it;

*** REFUSING to say whether or not it's
spied on members of Congress, which would effectively destroy any
ability of our government's Legislative Branch to police this
rogue agency;

*** Effectively GUTTING attorney-client
privilege by holding confidential records.

There are literally thousands of examples of
abuse. The FBI has become so emboldened, they're using DMV
photos to launch a massive facial recognition database!

This should be no surprise. Men aren't
angels. Neither are politicians and government bureaucrats.

What's made our country the greatest and
freest nation in human history is that our Founders created a
Constitution that's limited the power -- and therefore the damage
-- evil men can inflict.

Our Founders understood that liberty cannot
exist without privacy. As Benjamin Franklin stated, "Those who
would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary
Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

But today, our Constitution's Fourth
Amendment -- which protects American citizens' right to privacy
from government -- is hanging by nothing but a thread.

With it, the protections you and I have
against the actions of evil men holding the reins of our own
government are dropping like flies.

You and I must take a stand.

The good news is, opposition to Deep State
government spying is growing.

I believe you and I can STOP the
reauthorization of the so-called "USA Freedom Act" and stop the
statists' all-out war on the Fourth Amendment.

But it's vital you sign your STOP THE
SURVEILLANCE STATE petition right away.

The surveillance state apologists are going
to do whatever they can to reauthorize the so-called "USA Freedom
Act" quickly and likely quietly.

That's why I've instructed Campaign for
Liberty staff to pull out all the stops using mail, email,
Internet ads, and even targeted radio and TV ads if I can raise
the resources.

But I can't do any of this without you.

So won't you please agree to your most
generous gift of $50 right away?
[link removed]

Patriot, I know that's a lot. If it's too
much, please give $25 or at least $10.
[link removed]

Like you, sometimes I feel like we're
watching the police state nightmare from George Orwell's 1984
being built around us.

So won't you please join me in shouting "DOWN
WITH BIG BROTHER!" before it's too late -- before the idea of
American liberty is nothing more than a distant memory?

Please sign your "STOP THE SURVEILLANCE
STATE" petition right away and if at all possible, agree to pitch
in with your most generous gift of $50, $25, or at
least $10 TODAY!

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. The so-called "USA Freedom Act" --
the sham that replaced Section 215 of the phony "PATRIOT" Act and
allowed the massive collection of innocent Americans' emails,
texts, phone calls, and online chats to continue -- is set to
expire at the end of this year.

The Big Government statist want to extend
and expand their powers to conduct dragnet spying programs on
law-abiding Americans.

But if you and I turn up enough heat on
Congress to stop reauthorization, I'm convinced we can bring the
statists' domestic spying programs to a crashing halt.

That's why I'm counting on you to please sign
your "STOP THE SURVEILLANCE STATE" petition and pitch in with
your most generous contribution of $50, $25, or at
least $10 TODAY!
