Dear Patriot,

This isn't an easy letter for me to write
you.

Quite frankly, I'm worried. With the
government's draconian response to the coronavirus panic over the
past year and a half, we've just witnessed arguably the biggest
sustained attack on freedom I've seen in my lifetime.

Yet, I'm worried my ability to fight back is
shrinking with each passing day. Money is tight at Campaign for
Liberty. Too tight.

I need your help.

Whether it's the government destroying our
economy by forcing Americans under house arrest, cellphone
tracking of the sick, social media titans' censorship, the
blatant targeting of gun stores and religious services, or the
explosion of government spending -- and now forced vaccinations
and vaccine databases -- 2021 has been an authoritarian's dream!


And as bad as the statists were in the past,
it's been so much worse under Joe Biden.

To say Campaign for Liberty's plates have
been full this year would be an understatement.

Yet, there's no end in sight.

In a few short weeks, Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and the rest of the other
big-government, free-spending, liberty-stealing politicians will
be headed back to Washington, D.C. to inflict more damage.

Unless you and I get in their way.

With Congress and the Federal Reserve working
together to flood politically-connected corporate cronies with
taxpayer cash, we've seen our national debt explode to over
$28,702,315,000,000 (that's almost $30 TRILLION)!

Now state governments who've spent years
over-taxing, over-regulating, killing small businesses, and
handing out Cadillac contracts to state employees are begging for
and receiving trillions in bailouts too! And this comes on the
heels of states giving out million dollar "lottery prizes" to
those who were vaccinated.

But without your action today, I'm worried we
may be unable to muster little more than a whimper based on our
current financial situation.

We only have a short time to re-evaluate our
plans and be forced to severely curtail all of Campaign for
Liberty's legislative programs.

You see, Campaign for Liberty doesn't have
fat cat lobbyist friends who send us $100,000 or $250,000 or more
(or anything close to that) to fight for liberty and take on Big
Government.

I'm sure there's nothing the Deep State and
Big Government politicians in BOTH parties would love to see more
than our demise -- especially considering how far you and I have
come over the past 13 years since my 2008 presidential run and
the founding of Campaign for Liberty!

In the years leading up to that campaign, GOP
members of Congress just simply fell in line for then-President
George W. Bush's so-called "PATRIOT" Act, the "No Child Left
Behind" Act, and Medicare Part D.

And the late-Senator John McCain ultimately
became the GOP's 2008 presidential nominee -- all while running
on a platform that included expanded war all over the globe,
endless government spying, "Cap and Tax," and "Comprehensive
Immigration Reform" (complete with a National ID Scheme)!

Their answer to the financial crisis was to
shut out the commonsense voices of everyday Americans and listen
to the "experts". . .

. . . "Experts" who said Iraq would be a
cakewalk.

. . . "Experts" who said American troops
would be in and out of Afghanistan.

. . . "Experts" who said Americans were too
stupid to understand the Federal Reserve system or monetary
policy.

. . . "Experts" who said Americans wouldn't
care if Congress took hundreds of BILLIONS of their tax dollars
and spent it bailing out auto companies and the big banks.

. . . "Experts" who said Americans liked
being spied on -- and if we didn't put the Fourth Amendment
through the shredder, we'd be under constant terrorist attacks!

You see, statists ALWAYS believe the problem
is our freedom.

So their fixes are ALWAYS the same -- bigger
and more expensive government.

Like many folks all over the country, I
realized that if something didn't change -- FAST -- there would
not be much left of the free country you and I love.

That's why I decided to run for president in
2008 -- to ensure the principles of liberty the Founders laid
down for us in the U.S. Constitution were given a voice.

But never in my wildest dreams could I have
envisioned the political EXPLOSION you and I would set off.

After Rudy Giuliani viciously attacked me on
the presidential debate stage in South Carolina because of my
take on U.S. involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, the media tried
to laugh my campaign off as a joke.

But their laughter turned to fear when they
saw the grassroots energy for my presidential campaign!

In fact, in one "money bomb" that year, my
supporters gave over $6 million in one day -- and that was with
very few of the big gifts establishment campaigns count on!

The media and the Big Government
establishment became so afraid of our message, they began looking
for ways to shut me out of the debates!

They had taken it for granted that Americans
had given up on the Constitution. They believed nobody really
believed in limited government anymore.

My campaign proved them wrong, wrong, wrong!


But the truth is, it wasn't really me at all
who accomplished that. It was you and good folks like you from
all over the country who chose to take a stand for liberty.

Of course, the Big Government establishment
thought it was all over when my campaign wound down. They
thought we were just a passing fad. They thought they could get
back to business as usual.

But thanks to your support, our campaign has
pressed on -- although today, we're running it from the
"outside."

When a few of my trusted staff were trying to
decide the name of the group we would form out of my 2008
campaign, I said:

"I've been campaigning for liberty for over
30 years. Why don't we call the group 'Campaign for Liberty?'"
Over the past thirteen years, you and I have
racked up some tremendous victories together.

When I ran for president in 2008, I was
arguably the only voice for liberty in the U.S. House or Senate.
Needless to say, it was lonely being out-voted 434-1 on a regular
basis!

But in 2010, my son, Senator Rand Paul,
shocked the political world by defeating an opponent handpicked
by Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in a hard-fought GOP primary,
ultimately winning that U.S. Senate seat.

As a Senator, Rand continues to be a strong
voice for liberty. There are a handful of other U.S. Senators
who'll often follow his lead on critical battles as well.

In the U.S. House, we have Congressman Thomas
Massie (R-KY) and several others.

Every election since my 2008 presidential
run, the Liberty Movement has gained new allies and our numbers
continue to grow -- both in Congress and in state legislatures
nationwide.

And on policy, we've proven we can punch far
above our weight.

In 2008, discussion of the Federal Reserve
was hardly a blip on the political radar screen.

Frankly, I was astounded at the response I
received on the campaign trail in 2008 when I explained how the
Fed's print-now, ask-questions-later policies were at the root of
everything we still hate about Washington, D.C.

Just four years later, we passed Audit the
Fed through the U.S. House with an overwhelming three-fourths
margin!

Today, even with Nancy Pelosi holding the
reins as Speaker of the House, I believe we can pass it with
votes from both parties -- if we succeed in forcing a vote.

And we're only a handful of votes shy of
passing it in the U.S. Senate.

Thanks to Campaign for Liberty supporters'
help, we've also:

***STOPPED every attempt (so far) to RAM
their National ID database scheme into law. If passed, this
scheme would allow government to create a database of EVERY
American citizen -- including everything from gun ownership
records and political activity, to love interests.

***Stood strong against "Cap and Tax" and all
other faux "environmental" schemes. Sadly, with the advent of
the so-called "Green New Deal," this scheme is back -- and is now
being touted by both parties as a "compromise!"

***Stymied bipartisan knee-jerk rushes to gun
control in the wake of the shooting tragedies.

***Created a massive grassroots backlash
against government spying programs. This battle is still ongoing
-- and I dare say, it's a fight we're beginning to win with the
American people!

Of course, our progress hasn't come without a
price.

For nearly three years, Campaign for Liberty
was involved in a standoff with the IRS that was demanding we
turn over the names, addresses, and other personal information of
our most generous supporters.

Even in the face of the crippling daily fines
the IRS was threatening us with, I told our staff to give them
nothing.

I knew that publicizing our most generous
supporters' names would open them up to political backlash from
power-hungry bureaucrats.

That legal standoff only ended three years
ago when the IRS finally notified us they were backing down.

Now, we have a new "crisis" -- COVID-19 - and
the bevy of issues it has created in its wake.

And I can't help but be reminded back to 2008
and the similarities we're witnessing now as our national media
and members of BOTH parties listen to the "experts". . .

. . . "Experts" who haven't issued ONE
accurate model predicting COVID-19's spread and fatalities.

. . . "Experts" who've far over-estimated the
fatality rate from COVID-19 by under-counting Americans with
infections. It turns out many people catch it and don't even
know!

. . . "Experts" who said Americans won't care
if we're imprisoned at home -- and trust the government to make
the right decisions.

. . . "Experts" who are telling us to take an
experimental vaccine in order to save our lives.

. . . "Experts" who said Americans won't
notice if the hundreds of BILLIONS in emergency "small business
loans" end up in the pockets of Harvard, Los Angeles Lakers NBA
team, and other multi-million dollar companies.

. . . "Experts" who said Americans won't care
if they see their lifesavings dwindle, but politically-connected
BILLIONAIRES get richer.

Sadly, that's exactly what's happening.
According to one news report, American billionaires have gotten
over $1.2 TRILLION richer since the start of the COVID-19
pandemic.

While the heart and soul of America -- the
small business owner -- is lucky to have his doors still open.

And this is all just a small taste of what
the "experts" want.

One word that's been bandied about thousands
of times over the past year is "socialism."

We've been told it's growing in popularity
with each passing month as America's educational system
continually brainwashes younger generations with the help of our
media elites.

In fact, The Hill bragged late last year, "7
in 10 Millennials Say They Would Vote for a Socialist."

Quite simply, socialism is adherence to a
"bureaucrats-know-best" philosophy.

You get less freedom. And the "experts" get
more freedom to control you, your life, your job, your beliefs,
what you can and can't teach your kids, where you can go, what
you're "allowed" to own, think, read, eat, and smoke.

And it's this idea you and I must DESTROY.

If we don't, American freedom will not
survive.

It's that simple.

The good news is, Americans are getting fed
up today.

They don't just want the freedoms they had
BEFORE COVID-19.

They want the "experts" boots off of their
necks, so you and I can live our own lives.

Americans are growing angry at how the
"experts" have railroaded us. From the very beginning, I called
the COVID-19 response a "hoax" -- a "hoax" designed to kill more
of our freedoms.

Now more Americans than ever before are open
to our message of freedom -- arguably more open than any other
time since the start of Campaign for Liberty.

But as it stands now, I don't have the
resources to create the ROAR of opposition both parties need to
hear.

I know some of that is due to people's
hurting finances due to the government's response to COVID-19.
You can't effectively shut down an entire economy for months on
end without damaging people's livelihood.

So, as I mentioned, Campaign for Liberty's
bank accounts are dangerously low.

Virtually every organization in Washington,
D.C. runs into financial rough patches now and then. And our
summer months are usually lean. The difference is, other
organizations can often call up a wealthy donor or two and ask
for some help.

Sometimes that comes with strings attached --
like the insistence that an organization "go easy" on a member of
Congress who's recently become a traitor.

In forming Campaign for Liberty, I made a
pledge to myself, my staff, and our supporters that we would
never play those Washington, D.C. games.

We're not interested in grabbing nice news
headlines or getting invited to the fancy cocktail parties with
the media, sleazy lobbyists, and politicians. We're interested
in standing strong for principle -- and making a difference.

That's why, for the most part, Campaign for
Liberty is still fueled by the good folks who helped my 2008
presidential campaign raise $6 million -- $100, $50, and $35 at a
time.

So after raising such a massive amount of
money in one day, it seems like raising $33,710 in three weeks
shouldn't be that tough, right?

The answer is, no. It shouldn't be that hard
-- if I can count on your generosity.



But oftentimes -- in the build up to election
years like the one coming at us like a freight train -- many
people choose to give to deserving candidates they want to see
elected.

That means fewer contributions to Campaign
for Liberty.

And now, even with the Democrats holding the
White House, the Senate, and the House, and our battles more
ferocious than even during the eight years of Barrack Obama, many
people are hunkering down to ride out the storm.

The problem is that if we don't fight NOW,
this storm might do in our country.

Campaign for Liberty is run on a shoestring
budget. We do all we can to carefully spend every red cent
making the biggest difference. That means when contributions
start to run dry, we feel it. Big time.

So please don't lay this email aside or think
that someone else will carry the load. Will you please act?

Campaign for Liberty supporters have never
let me down before. Over the past thirteen years, we've made so
much progress together.

And I still believe we have so much more to
achieve in the future -- together. But defeating the statists
and renewing liberty in America can't happen without paying the
bills.

If I can't raise the $33,710, I will not put
Campaign for Liberty in debt -- even though I believe we'll be
back on firm financial footing very soon.

I pledged never to do so, I am not going to
start now.

Another game I won't play is asking the
federal government for a bailout -- something The New York Times
reports that several other supposedly "conservative"
organizations did when the government had handouts readily
available.

The truth is, Campaign for Liberty is not my
organization. It's yours.

It belongs to the tens of thousands of
grassroots patriots all over the country who helped take the
Liberty Movement from nothing to a major force in modern American
politics.

None of what we've fought for and
accomplished could have been possible without you.

So I'm writing to ask you to reinvest in what
you helped start with a generous contribution of $500, $250, or
even $150 today.

I know that's a lot to ask for.

But without your support, program cuts will
be the only option. I don't want to be forced to make this
decision. I hope you agree.

Of course, if $250 or $150 is too much to ask
for, what about starting with $50, or even $25?

Your support would mean the world to me right
now -- and help Campaign for Liberty continue making a world of
difference.

By the time you read this, I'll have only
three weeks before having to decide whether or not to make cuts.


So please agree to your most generous
contribution of $500, $250, or at least $50 or $25 today.

In Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. Patriot, with all the resources we've
been forced to spend this year, I'm growing more concerned by the
day. Money is tight. Too tight.

I have to raise $33,710 in the next three
weeks to avoid making serious program cuts. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck
Schumer, and the rest of the big-government, free-spending,
liberty-stealing politicians are coming back to Washington, D.C.
soon. You and I must be prepared to put up a roadblock and stop
them all along the say.

Please consider your most generous donation
at once!
