Dear Patriot,

Dangerous and unconstitutional red light
cameras could be coming to your neighborhood thanks to a bill
that's being debated this week in Congress.

And if you already have them, you will more
than likely get a lot more if the massive subsidies that have
been slipped into the "Invest in America Act" pass into law.

You see, as part of this bill, states will be
eligible to receive funds in order to "purchase, operate, and
maintain" red light cameras.

But in reality, they are trying to turn your
streets into a surveillance grid that tracks innocent motorists
like cattle, all for profit.

Red light and speed cameras are sold to the
public as a safety measure, but the reality is accidents go up
when they're installed, not down.

Drivers are not only distracted by the
cameras leading to more accidents, but cities have been caught
all over the country shortening yellow light times to drive up
revenue at the expense of safety.

These camera schemes are a total invasion and
do the opposite of what's advertised.

Sixteen states and countless cities have
banned the cameras, but my fear is the "free" federal cash may
result in crooked politicians and bureaucrats fighting tooth and
nail to bring them back.

The Invest in America Act, introduced by
House Transportation Chair Peter DeFazio (D-OR), is being used as
a massive bailout for failing SCAMera systems across the country.


You and I must demand they strip out this
provision immediately before the hearing on Thursday!

Call Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Sam
Graves (R-MO) immediately and tell them to remove any and all
funding for "automated traffic enforcement systems":

Rep. Peter DeFazio - (202) 225-6416

Rep. Sam Graves - (202 225-7041

Once you've done that, please chip in what
you can so we can fight red light cameras on all fronts.

Red light and speed cameras have been a
destructive force to the 4th Amendment for years through constant
surveillance of innocent motorists and illegal searches of every
driver who passes by them.

These cameras create a dream scenario for big
government spies by using license plate scanning technology and
now facial recognition to log everywhere a person travels in a
city that has them.

It was even admitted recently by a town
council member in Fountain Hills, AZ that the cameras live stream
into the Department of Homeland Security's "Threat Fusion
Centers" 24 hours a day!

They're treating you like a terrorist!

The cash these systems generate through the
exorbitant fines are a corrupting influence in city governments
and law enforcement. Red light and speed cameras were at the
heart of the largest bribery scandal in the history of Chicago
just a few years ago.

With Chicago's reputation of corruption,
that's quite the record for these camera schemes to hold.

Now Rep. DeFazio and Rep. Sam Graves need to
hear that you don't want that corruption coming to your city.

Call Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Sam
Graves (R-MO) immediately and tell them to remove the massive
SCAMera subsidies from the Invest in America Act:

Rep. Peter DeFazio - (202) 225-6416

Rep. Sam Graves - (202 225-7041



Campaign for Liberty has fought and won more
battles at the local and state level to rid streets and
intersections of these flashing cash boxes, including getting
them completely banned in the state of Texas most recently.

You and I cannot allow any of these victories
to be reversed when the cash is too good to pass up . . . we MUST
stop it now!

Please take action at once to tell
Representatives DeFazio and Graves we won't tolerate any more of
these cameras on our streets, and the Transportation Committee
needs to stop subsidizing these kinds of abuses.

For Liberty,

John McCardell
Executive Director
Campaign for Liberty

P.S. The political class will stop at nothing
to keep reviving these dying red light and speed camera systems,
but we can stop them if we take action immediately.

Call Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member's
Sam Graves immediately and tell them to remove the massive
SCAMera subsidies from the Invest in America Act:

Rep. Peter DeFazio - (202) 225-6416

Rep. Sam Graves - (202 225-7041
