Dear Patriot,

The Democrats are back at it again, trying to
destroy one of the last remaining obstacles to runaway government
with their one-party rule.

They simply cannot help themselves, even if
it costs the "centrists" in their ranks an election in the very
near future.

They've proven -- especially on this issue --
they do not think beyond the current year.

Because the filibuster is one of the few
roadblocks on liberty's side, it should be no surprise the
Democratic caucus is looking to throw it on the scrap heap for
good -- meaning there would be nothing in the way of their
far-left agenda.

Minority (formerly majority) Leader Mitch
McConnell (R-KY), who still has a modicum of power left in the
Senate said today, a filibuster-less Senate "would be more like a
100-car pileup."

McConnell's prediction sounds accurate, but
he left out the part where he helped fill the gas tank!

McConnell had a golden opportunity to
guarantee the filibuster remained in place before he handed
control of the Senate over to Sen. Chuck Schumer. Instead,
McConnell took Schumer's word, and now we are on the brink of the
filibuster being completely destroyed.

What would it mean if the filibuster was
eliminated in 2021?

>>The 50 Member Senate Democrat Caucus + VP
Kamala Harris' tiebreaking vote could fast-track any Senate bill,
regardless of how radical it is.

>>HR 1, the "Legalized Election Theft" bill
would have a clear path to pass the Senate and be signed into
law.

>>HR 8, HR 1446, and even HR 127, which are
all designed to completely destroy the 2nd Amendment, would all
be very likely to become law this year.

>>Repackaged "Green New Deal" legislation,
which would cost taxpayers TRILLIONS would have a good shot to
pass as well and usher in "The Great Reset."

>>Massive tax increases for businesses that
are already on the table.

This has been an ongoing fight since the new
Democrat-controlled (by tiebreak) Senate took office in January,
and we cannot afford to rest.

Congress was not designed by our founders to
be a simple rubber stamp for the controlling party's most radical
agenda.

filibuster!

Then, please consider pitching in $25, $50,
or more so Campaign for Liberty can rally our powerful list of
liberty activists to stop this power-grab by the Democrats!

By completely stripping away the filibuster
-- which is already weakened -- we're likely to see wild and
dangerous swings from our lawmakers and many unintended
consequences that I suspect the Democrats will regret just a few
years from now.

Because two Senators, Joe Manchin (D-WV) and
Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), have held up changes to the filibuster,
the radical left, led by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and
his henchman Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), appear to be forcing their
hand by rushing their biggest priority legislation to votes in
order to bend their will on eliminating or severely weakening the
filibuster rules.

Manchin and Sinema are both being barraged
from far-left contingencies to give in and support the gutting of
the filibuster. Manchin appears to be softening to the point
where he may be willing to compromise away a big chunk of what's
left.

Patriot, I'm afraid this tactic just may
work!

We must save our Republic from turning into a
complete tyranny of the majority party.

You'd think the Democrats would have learned
their lesson after their last change that weakened the
filibuster. That didn't work in their favor after the
Republicans took control of the Senate just a year later.

When Republicans took control of the Senate
after the 2014 election, the Democrat's own changes to the
filibuster were used against them and eventually cost them the
chance to stop three of Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominations.


Now Democrats seem poised to prove to
everyone that they cannot be bothered to learn from their own
mistakes, even if they were just made a few years ago.

They simply can't help themselves when
presented a flurry of leftist expansions to big government that
will create a lot of hardship &hellip; for everyone else!

The filibuster is an important part of the
checks and balances to keep runaway power at bay.

That's why it's been such a big target for
years.

The Senate filibuster has been an
indispensable tool in stopping some of the worst big government
power grabs over the years, including Cap and Tax, which would
have driven energy costs through the roof, a National Gun
Registration, and the so-called "Disclose" Act, which would have
destroyed free speech for organizations like this one.

We've already seen that the Democrats in 2021
are willing to:

&bull; Go after the 1st Amendment and
election integrity with HR 1.

&bull; Obliterate the 2nd Amendment with gun
registration, national database and confiscation bills like HR 8,
HR 1446, and HR 127.

&bull; They're more than willing to turn the
Department of Homeland Security completely inward on "political
dissidents like Trump supporters and Libertarians" with HR 350.

&bull; Push for the largest tax increases in
decades for "infrastructure" under Joe Biden's newly unveiled
plans this week.

Sign the petition now so we can rush it off
to your senators!

That's why you and I must get this message
out to as many folks as possible before this latest attack on the
filibuster is successful.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul, M.D.
