Dear Patriot,

There is no end to the Surveillance State
until we put an end to it.

You and I have fought them tooth and nail
since Campaign for Liberty was founded thirteen years ago. Last
year, we forced the expiration of some of the worst provisions in
the so-called "USA Freedom Act" (formerly known as the "Patriot
Act").

Unfortunately, in the months since that
victory, we've learned much of the government's digital spying on
Americans like you and me has been moved to the private sector.

And now the media is reporting (and the
government isn't denying it) the U.S. Post Office is
participating in domestic online snooping.

What possible justification could there be
for the Post Office to spy on Americans' Internet use?

This is all headed in a very bad direction,
Patriot.

It's like a game of Whack-a-Mole trying to
figure out which government agency is spying on Americans at any
given time!

To make matters worse, and the statists in
D.C. are using the events of January 6th as a way to expand
domestic spying in an effort to stop what they call "dangerous
extremism."

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is pushing for a
9/11-Style Commission to determine what else the government must
do to crack down on what they call "violent extremists," which
seems to include anyone who has questions about anything the
government says or does.

It's quite obvious that this is all headed in
the direction of the passage of H.R. 350, the "Domestic Enemies"
bill.

While the proceedings of the commission will
be largely ceremonial, the bad policy of H.R. 350 would turn the
Surveillance State completely inward onto average Americans like
you and me.

YOU are now the enemy according to them.

If you don't agree with their collectivist
plans for this country, they want you on a proverbial enemies
list.

H.R. 350, the "Domestic Terrorism Prevention
Act (DTPA)," was introduced in the House in January and would
create a whole new "domestic" wing of the Department of Homeland
Security.

We must oppose this horrible bill with
everything we've got!

Sign the petition to your U.S. Senators and
Representative to oppose the so-called "Domestic Terrorism
Prevention Act," which will target innocent Americans!

Then, please consider pitching in $35, $50,
or even $150, to give Campaign for Liberty the resources we need
to stop this horrible abuse of power!

It's not just average Americans who are now
in the crosshairs -- Big Brother has members of the military in
their sights!

A piece published in The Intercept broke the
news this week that the Pentagon is about to embark on a radical
expansion of monitoring troops and what they'll be looking for:

The Defense Department hinted at the program
in an April 9 press release about its Countering Extremism
Working Group, which it says will make recommendations on
"incorporating machine learning and natural language processing
into social media screening platforms," as well as "ensure
training addresses issues raised by commanders and supervisors on
'gray areas' such as reading, following, and liking extremist
material and content in social media forums and platforms."

The pilot program will use keywords to
identify potential extremists, though coming up with a list of
terms without running afoul of speech protections has proven to
be challenging, the senior Pentagon official said. To this end,
the military plans to consult with experts from across the
political spectrum to help develop the pilot program. As The
Intercept previously reported, the military's Countering
Extremism Working Group drafted a list of potential consultants
that included anti-Muslim and Christian conservative groups.

Now they're planning to target Christians,
even down to which "like buttons" someone has clicked on.

This Pentagon official has publicly stated
that mainstream views are now considered "extremist" and will be
targeted.

This is outrageous!

If it's not the Post Office or the Pentagon,
private companies are still playing a major role in domestic
snooping, especially online with companies like Amazon who
routinely turn over our data to DHS, including bad reviews of
major products.

They're trying to turn us into a society
where you can be targeted by domestic spies just for hurting the
feelings of a major corporation online.

Many breathed a sigh of relief when Campaign
for Liberty helped force the expiration of Section 215 of the
Patriot Act last year, but it would be foolish to believe the
government stopped this practice.

Reports are they've found a way around
warrant requirements by PURCHASING the data from other sources.
And they're going to try to use the findings of the January 6th
Commission to justify ramming through H.R. 350 with the maximum
force they can.

H.R. 350 would be The Patriot Act on
steroids, turning us all into not only the subject of
surveillance, but now the subject of suspicion, simply for our
political opinions or even who we voted for in an election!

This cannot be tolerated in a free society
and we must take action NOW to stop it.

It's going to be a bumpy ride on the way to
defeating these totalitarian plans, but we have no choice but to
fight it.

Sign the petition!

Then, please consider pitching in $35, $50,
or even $150, to give Campaign for Liberty the resources we need
to stop this horrible abuse of power!

Patriot, I'm afraid that the fallout from
COVID is only going to make things worse.

The tyranny that has been forced on the
American public over the past 14 months has woken a lot more
people up to the nature of power and the hostility that big
government has towards businesses, churches, and average folks,
so many more are speaking out.

That has the political class spooked, which
means they'll just try to clamp down harder, no matter how futile
it is.

The January 6th Commission and H.R. 350 are
the evidence that they won't back down easily, even though our
numbers are growing.

Sign the petition!

In the midst of all the turmoil caused by the
events of the last year, it's now becoming widely known that Big
Government Spies use methods like the "Stingray," also known as a
"cell site simulator," to mimic a cell phone tower and have your
device connect to it so that all your personal data can be seen.


And now, even our troops are being targeted.


In a rush to "destroy the enemy" through
domestic snooping and persecution of dissident groups, the left
will sow the seeds of freedom's destruction.

Defenders of liberty cannot let this stand.


For Liberty,

Ron Paul, M.D.
Chairman
