Dear Patriot,
Like in years past, this year’s NDAA is a disaster for liberty. . .
At a time when the federal deficit is spiraling out of control with more than $6 Trillion in new spending since the Coronacrisis began,
the NDAA makes no attempt to cut our bloated military budget. Instead, it authorizes
spending over $768 billion, with far too much of that going toward unnecessary and unconstitutional military involvement around the
world. And it fails to do anything to stop the indefinite detention of American
citizens without any semblance of due process. But there’s more. . .
It requires women to register for the draft, an unprecedented move in the history of our Republic.
It contains a dangerous “red flag” gun confiscation scheme for military veterans.
It’s a bloated mess of wasteful and increased spending, even though the war in
Afghanistan is over. The $368 Billion price tag is $37.5 Billion more than the 2021
defense budget, and that’s after we pulled out of the most expensive war in American history.
And the U.S. Senate is likely to add dozens of amendments that will make it even worse!
Who knows what surprises Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will have wrapped inside once he gets his hands on it.
The military draft assumes the government owns you and the last thing we need is to have women added to that power
over our families. Forcing young people, regardless of their sex, to fight, kill, and
even die in war is the worst violation of individual liberty a government can commit.
If the bill becomes law with this provision included and a military draft occurs, women will be forced into the military, and America will have
equality in slavery. Patriot, the defense lobby knows this bloated, manipulated bill has been
passed every single year for more than six decades, which creates tremendous leverage for them to load it up with a lot of provisions we would reject
outright as standalone bills. We also must face the continued reality that Congress wants to
give out even more money for forays around the world that have nothing to do with the defense of our country.
In point of fact, these forays make us more vulnerable and less safe. And
with the holiday season rapidly approaching, the rush will be on to ram this bill through at any cost necessary.
IT’S UP TO YOU AND ME to put the Senate on notice that we’ve had enough of the runaway spending and every other
bad provision the NDAA is exploited to pass. Do not forget what’s at stake now in this
year’s version – forcing women to be included in the draft, which is yet another step toward total control of the government over the
people! Sign the petition to clean up the NDAA bill and stop using
it to exploit our men and women in the armed services! Campaign for Liberty has
been spearheading the fight against the abuses contained in the NDAA for more than a decade.
Your donation of $50, $100, $150, or more is
vital to keeping us on the front lines of this fight. I urge you to agree to a donation today!
With all the financial destruction of the past 20 months, money is
tight for many, so if the above amounts are too much, would you consider a donation of $10 or
$25? The political class will do everything in their power to
completely demonize ANY opposition to what’s in the NDAA as being anti-military or “against the troops.”
But keep in mind, these are the same people who said I was exaggerating in 2001 when I warned the
PATRIOT Act would lead to the type of mass surveillance exposed by Edward Snowden in 2013.
It’s not exaggerating to make predictions about the future of bad legislation and what it can do to destroy our liberties.
And it’s really not exaggerating when those predictions continue to be right!
It’s time to be courageous and call out the abuses of the NDAA bill for what they really are –
an exploitation of our men and women in uniform, using their financial well-being as a tool to line the pockets of lobbyists
and Washington, D.C. cronies. Sign the petition to clean up the NDAA
bill! After doing that, I urge you to agree to a donation of $50, $100, $150, or more to keep us on the
front lines of this fight. Even though it was a botched and tragic end to the
War in Afghanistan, I’m encouraged that real progress is being made to get our country out of endless wars, albeit very slowly.
With the war in Afghanistan finally over after nearly 20 years, it’s also time for the NDAA to reflect the
reality that times are changing and spending on military adventurism is no longer popular outside of the D.C. Beltway.
For Liberty, Dr. Ron Paul Chairman P.S. The
political class will stop at nothing to use, abuse, and exploit the military in order to ram through a lot of unconstitutional, unpopular, and
unethical measures while using scare tactics, like cutting the pay of troops or even cutting them off entirely!
Sign the petition to clean
up the NDAA! I urge you to then rush a donation today of $50, $100,
