This is partisanship at its worst.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
is desperately trying to bring in one party rule with S. 1, the
Legalized Election Theft bill, because the left thinks they can
permanently tilt elections in their favor.
They may not say that part out loud, but why
else would they do it?
And they're willing to go to great lengths to
get this done, even as far as destroying the Senate filibuster
rule to bypass the resistance from the Republicans in an evenly
divided Senate.
The frightening part about this scenario is
they might just get it done, which would open the door for
passing a lot of other Constitution-shredding bills to President
Biden's desk, where he will gladly sign them.
I don't know about you but I see this fight
over S. 1 as one of the most consequential battles of the first
year of the Biden presidency and for that reason, you and I must
remain vigilant.
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.
(Be sure to delete the "unsubscribe" option
at the bottom of this email before forwarding.)
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!
While most of the focus is on the sweeping
election "reforms" that the left is touting in this bill, what
doesn't make the headlines are the attacks on the First Amendment
also packed into S. 1.
S.1 is also about controlling speech, which
is a new obsession of the left, bolstered by the tech giants like
Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, who are constantly taking down
right-of-center content for "thought crimes."
With S. 1, if the tech giants don't shut you
down for political wrong think, the FEC will certainly do it, as
they'll be granted broad new powers to police online speech about
candidates for office and even current elected officials!
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.
They haven't completely run over us yet.
S. 1, the Legalized Election Theft bill, hit
a speed bump in the Senate Rules Committee earlier this week.
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.
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.
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 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
