We don’t have much time left to stop this. H.R. 1/S. 1, the “Legalized Election Theft” bill, is getting top priority, which means that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will pull out all the stops to get it done. And that could include dismantling the Senate filibuster rule to ensure this awful bill passes. If the filibuster is eliminated, Schumer hopes to pass H.R. 1/S. 1 with all 50 Democrat senators on board and Vice President Kamala Harris as the tiebreaking vote. We are that close to a centralized election process that shreds the Constitution and paves the way for one-party rule. This couldn’t be any more serious. And it could all come down to a couple of holdouts, like Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), who is under tremendous pressure to toe the party line. Just a few days ago, Joe Biden stepped in to give Manchin a reason to cave to his agenda by nominating his wife for a cushy post on the Appalachian Regional Commission. You have to wonder what strings were attached to that offer. Patriot, it looks like Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer are making serious attempts at getting Joe Manchin to flip on the Senate filibuster and then H.R. 1/S. 1, which would signal the Democrats' move to completely run the table on the entire Biden agenda.That’s why I am asking for your urgent action at once before we lose any more ground. Sign the petition demanding your U.S. Senators oppose S. 1 when it comes up for a vote! In the past, horrible policy from one administration, like “ObamaCare,” could usher in a big move in the opposite direction, like the TEA Party movement that swept into Congress in 2010. But that might not happen this time if elections are centralized and the most questionable election processes become law across the country, no matter how the individual states want to handle their own voting processes. Ominously, in President Biden’s first press conference last week, he said not only is he running for re-election in 2024, but he cast doubt that there will even be a Republican Party left by that time. What a shocking statement. Nobody bothered to ask him what he meant, but it certainly begs the question about why he said that. Could it be they are getting ready to severely weaken or destroy the Senate filibuster so that they can ram through H.R. 1/S. 1? That’s why I am asking for your urgent action at once before we lose any more ground. Sign the petition demanding your U.S. Senators oppose S. 1 when it comes up for a vote! Then, please consider pitching in $35, $50, or even $150, to give Campaign for Liberty the resources we need to stop this brazen attempt to steal future elections! If there is one bill in 2021 that could permanently scar the fabric of the Constitution, it’s H.R. 1/S. 1, which already passed the House. H.R. 1/S. 1 not only institutionalizes many questionable election processes that were fraught with the most controversy in 2020, but it’s also a direct attack on the 1st Amendment and the right to dissenting political speech. As Chairman of Campaign for Liberty, I wrote a letter, which was delivered to the members of the Senate Rules Committee, describing specific examples of how this bill would silence political speech with fear and intimidation of activist groups just like ours. If it passes, not only would the election process be permanently scarred, but simply letting you know how your elected officials voted on other bills, would be made illegal leading up to an election! Patriot, both sides of the aisle should be against this bill, simply based on its flagrant disregard of the 1st Amendment. This bill has so many bad ideas in one package including: >>Making it illegal to clean out voter rolls of deceased or
non-residents;
>>Forcing states to allow early voting; >>Forcing states to allow vote-by-mail, which is fraught with opportunities to commit fraud; >>Forcing taxpayers to subsidize candidates they don’t align with politically; and >>Policing online speech about elections with new broad and sweeping powers. As unimaginable as this all sounds, we are getting much closer to this becoming a reality! Sign the petition at once! Our elections were never meant to be “nationalized” in this way. The U.S. Constitution clearly states that elections are to be held and electors for the presidential election chosen by the manner in which the state legislature prescribes. H.R. 1 /S. 1 would completely turn this on its head and force states to adopt rules for their elections that many of them do not want or are in the process of remedying because of flaws they have discovered. H.R. 1 /S. 1 would thwart those efforts by the states and even counties to rectify issues they may have discovered or will discover as investigations, hand re-counts, and court cases continue in Arizona, Michigan, and others. Considering the sidestepping of the Constitution on locally controlled elections and the attack on political speech, this bill should be opposed by all sides. Sign the petition! I am urging all members of the Senate to oppose this reckless bill, and I appreciate your support in doing so as well. For Liberty, Ron Paul, M.D. Chairman P.S. Liberty will ultimately prevail, but not without you and me facing some tough battles. Many eyes need to be opened, and Campaign for Liberty is keeping the brushfires of liberty burning.
