Patriot,

The left won't back down on nationalizing
elections and crushing free speech in the process.

S. 1, the Legalized Election Theft bill, hit
a speed bump in the Senate Rules Committee yesterday. After hours
of sparring over amendments, the committee voted 9-9 along party
lines.

Under normal circumstances, a tie vote would
keep a bill from advancing, but S. 1 is far from dead.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY),
undeterred, is vowing to do whatever he can to move it to the
floor.

Based on what we've seen so far, this will be
an entirely partisan vote in front of the full Senate.

So why is the left fighting so hard to
nationalize elections?

The 2020 election has certainly brought
questionable election processes to the forefront, as audits and
lawsuits at the county level continue in states like Arizona and
Michigan.

While the results of these actions probably
won't be known for months, the left is making a big push to pass
S. 1 BEFORE the public gets a sense of what can be proven about
2020.

For Schumer and his cohorts, the rush is on
to get the Legalized Election Theft bill passed to President
Biden's desk despite massive opposition. They aren't willing to
consider that there may just be some issues with the integrity of
our elections.

But this bill isn't just about tilting the
scales in elections, it's also about controlling speech, which is
a new obsession of the left.

Perhaps that's why even the far-left ACLU
came out against this same bill in a letter two years ago:

However, there are also provisions that
unconstitutionally impinge on the free speech rights of American
citizens and public interest organizations.

They will have the effect of harming our
public discourse by silencing necessary voices that would
otherwise speak out about the public issues of the day.

Majority Leader Schumer and Speaker Pelosi
(D-CA), who already passed a version of this bill through the
House, are recklessly pushing this bill into dangerous territory.


That's why I am asking for your urgent action
at once before we lose any more ground.

If you haven't yet, please sign the petition
demanding your U.S. Senators oppose S. 1 when it comes up for a
vote!

If you've already signed, please send to
friends and family who are concerned about election integrity and
the First Amendment.

I would urge you to 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 U.S. House.

This bill is loaded up with bad ideas,
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!

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 First
Amendment and the right to dissenting political speech.

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had plenty to
say about S. 1 during yesterday's Rules Committee hearing and
afterwards:

"S. 1 would take the Federal Election
Commission, the bipartisan panel that regulates elections and
private citizens' speech and make it a partisan body run by
Democrats.

"It would let Washington Democrats act like a
nationwide Board of Elections on steroids, neutering popular
things like Voter I.D. and forcing legalized ballot harvesting
onto all 50 states.

"This bill would let bureaucrats snoop around
more in free speech &hellip; attack citizens' privacy so
dramatically that even the liberal ACLU is unhappy &hellip; and
even send public funds directly to politicians!

In order to get S. 1 across the finish line,
Democrat leadership is still threatening to weaken or eliminate
the Senate filibuster.

In fact, the Biden Administration is making
swift moves behind the scenes to defang or eliminate the Senate
filibuster to pave the way for S. 1 to pass with a simple
majority with Vice President Kamala Harris as the tie-breaking
vote.

Patriot, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to
undo the damages if the worst-case scenario happens.

The so-called "For the People Act" empowers
federal regulators to categorize and regulate speech, including
online.

Not only that, but merely telling you how
your legislators voted on legislation could become a CRIME!

Sign the petition at once!

I would urge you to 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 you've already signed, please forward this
email to friends and family who are concerned about election
integrity and the First Amendment.

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.

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.

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!

If you've already signed, please send to
friends and family who are concerned about election integrity and
the First Amendment.



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
Chairman
