Dear Patriot,
In a few hours, the House of Representatives
will vote on the so-called SHIELD Act (H.R. 4617) legislation,
creating new federal regulations on campaigns and online
political advertising -- including issue advocacy ads run by
groups like Campaign for Liberty.
The sponsors of this bill claim the
regulations will shield the American political process from
foreign interference. . .
But the truth is, these regulations are a
sword aimed directly at your First Amendment rights!
So please call your U.S. Representative
immediately at 202-224-3121 and tell them to vote NO on the
SHIELD Act!
Buried in the SHIELD Act is the so-called
"Honest Ads Act," which should be called the NO More Ads Act,
because it would limit the ability of groups like Campaign for
Liberty to run Internet ads since we'd be buried in
time-consuming red tape and costly regulations.
These ads are very effective in mobilizing
grassroots activists to turn the heat up on politicians . . . to
get them to support pro-liberty legislation like Audit the Fed
and to oppose state power grabs like gun control.
But the SHIELD Act would severely limit this
method of communicating with supporters.
And even after we jump through all the
bureaucratic hoops, there is still a very good chance the
bureaucracy will say:
NO FREE SPEECH FOR YOU!
Plus, approved ads will have to reserve large
amounts of space for government-mandated "disclaimers" -- meaning
our message will be lost.
The Act places further limits on our ability
to run issue ads on popular websites in the days, weeks, and even
months before an election. . .
The time that people are most interested in
the politicians' stands on the issues!
So please call your U.S. Representative
immediately at 202-224-3121 and tell them to shield your First
Amendment rights by voting NO on the SHIELD Act.
SHIELD not only limits the ability of
pro-liberty groups to mobilize grassroots activists like you via
Internet ads, it gives the federal bureaucracy free rein to
censor "alternative" news sites while giving a free hand to the
mainstream purveyors of fake news. . .
It does this by exempting "legitimate news
organizations" from its regulations. . .
And who do you think the bureaucrats are
going to define as "legitimate"?
Sites that challenge the welfare-warfare
status quo, oppose the "if you have nothing to hide you have
nothing to fear" surveillance state program, or question the
benefits of allowing a secretive central bank to control the
money supply?
Or sites that dutifully parrot the party line
about how big government is necessary to protect us from the
marketplace, how we must give up our privacy and bear the cost of
empire-building for our safety, and how the Fed prevents --
rather than causes -- economic crashes?
Big tech is already trying to silence voices
of dissent like Campaign for Liberty Chairman Ron Paul. This bill
will give them the perfect excuse to do so by simply saying. . .
"You're not a real news site. The government
says so."
So please call your
Representative at 202-224-3121 and tell them in a free society,
the people get shields from the politicians, not the other way
around.
Remember, the vote is in a few hours so call
NOW!
We can't take anything for granted here. . .
Not with the Democrats and the Deep State
still pushing the narrative that Russian collusion was
responsible for Donald Trump's victory. . .
Not with more Republicans caving into Deep
State demands that the President be impeached. . .
And certainly not with the government working
hand-in-glove with big tech to silence news the government
doesn't like!
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has
always stood firm against legislation like SHIELD in the past.
But unless he knows the grassroots will stand
with him, he might give in to pressure from Republican Senators
demanding that the GOP Senate majority Congress "do something"
about "foreign interference in the elections"-even if that
something blatantly violates the First Amendment!
It is possible that President Trump may even
endorse SHIELD if the Deep State lackeys in the GOP convince him
he must do it to protect his party and himself from the
ridiculous claim that he owed his election to foreign meddling.
That is why it is so important you and I show
strong grassroots' opposition to this bill today!
So please call your U.S. Representative at
202-224-3121 now and tell them to oppose the SHIELD Act.
And then, please chip in whatever you can
afford -- whether its $500, $50, or $5 -- to help Campaign for
Liberty fight to preserve the First Amendment!

a few hours away. Call your representative NOW!
In Liberty,
