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 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.

Ron Paul
