Patriot,

"It could never happen in America." We say this when we hear
about atrocities in corrupt Third World countries like Libya or
Burundi.

But what we are witnessing, right now, in Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau's newly-minted dictatorship of Canada - militarized
police horses trampling women, coffee shops shut down by the
regime for the so-called "crime" of serving coffee to peaceful
protesters, reporters isolated and kept away from the atrocities,
citizens' rights suspended on the pretext of a fake national
emergency - could absolutely happen in America . . . if you and I
let it.

Think about it!

Canada was a liberal democracy before Covid gave the government a
pretext to suspend citizens' rights. The United States was a
constitutional republic before Covid gave the government a
pretext to suspend citizens' rights.

The Prime Minister of Canada is a puppet who doesn't know
anything and thinks he knows everything. The President of the
United States is a puppet who doesn't know anything and thinks he
knows everything.

According to Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), it's not hard to conceive
Trudeau-style tyranny coming here since, "There are some
emergencies in the U.S. that have been going on for many, many
decades. And the president can just renew them every year."

Rand attempted to rein in this power under President Trump, and
he's pushing to rein it in again now.

Last night, the Canadian Parliament rubber-stamped Trudeau's
"emergency" powers, giving him unchecked power to destroy
Canadian citizens - even though the protests are winding down and
the streets are clear.

With Democrats loyal to Biden in the majority in both chambers of
Congress and more than a few Republican senators with tyrannical
impulses, like Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC),
would there be enough authoritarian support to rubber-stamp the
Biden regime declaring a similar "emergency?"

Just look at what congressional Republicans have condoned with
respect to the January 6th protesters, many of whom are rotting
in Washington gulags without due process.

Tomorrow, truckers are departing from California on an 11-day
journey to Washington, D.C. Other impromptu convoys in other
parts of the country will undoubtedly pop up as well.

Do not be shocked if the Justice Department wages a campaign of
terror against these peaceful protesters.

And the United States has a much more sophisticated
disinformation and propaganda apparatus than our friends to the
north.

Is there any doubt there will be covert government agitators,
just as there were on January 6th and in the staged "kidnapping
plot" of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer?

It will almost certainly be another "shock and awe" campaign - to
use the expression of a January 6th federal prosecutor.

But there is one aspect of the Canadian government's brutal
response to the peaceful truckers' protest that should alarm
every American: the "de-banking" - the illegal freezing and
seizure of the bank accounts - of the demonstrators and their
supporters.

This has shocking implications for free speech. In an instant,
Canada went from a nation that honors free speech to a nation
where the government can seize citizens' property, savings, and
livelihood for even donating to an effort whose viewpoints fall
outside the accepted norm.

We're not talking about seizing the bank accounts of some drug
kingpin. We are talking about the government taking everything
from working-class families - just for supporting free speech.
The chilling effect it will have is obvious - and that's the
point.

This is not the quiet tyranny of the surveillance state that
we're all too painfully familiar with.

This is in-your-face, brutal tyranny. In Canada.

We need to proactively petition Congress right now to prevent a
devastating loss of First Amendment rights we may never be able
to regain. CLICK HERE to DEMAND Congress take action NOW to stop
political "de-banking": the financial destruction of dissident
voices.

Patriot, if it can happen in Canada, it can happen here. Unless
millions of freedom-loving Americans like you and me stand strong
and stop it.

Over the years, Campaign for Liberty has punched back above our
weight against statist lawmakers and their tyrannical advances.

But we cannot win this critical battle without your support.

Taking on the statists in D.C. is never easy . . . or cheap. But
with your help, you and I can stop this madness before it
escalates further.

So please make a contribution of $250, $500, $1000, or whatever
you can afford to help us reach and mobilize more people.

To be clear, the seizing of bank accounts of Canadian truckers
and their working-class supporters was absolutely not a private
decision by the banks.

Consider the tweet of a liberal member of the Canadian
Parliament, Mark Gerretsen. This government official claimed it
is "false" that the government can seize the bank account of
anyone involved in the protest. In truth, he says, the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police advises the banks of "findings," and it
remains the responsibility of the banks to make the final
decision of freezing accounts.

In other words: "We're not shutting down the bank accounts of
political opponents; we're just advising the banks of whose
accounts it would be nice to have shut down!"

The politician talks just like a member of the mafia.

Of course, the entire crackdown on protests and civil
disobedience is direct government action or rooted in government
action - just like social media censorship.

It's critical we bombard Congress with concern about this, right
now, because it's an imminent threat that, until now, has had no
organized opposition.

This is not an issue that is on Congress's radar - but it needs
to be, because it's taking off in Canada and soon to strike home.


That's why Campaign for Liberty is taking on this fight now.
Because "de-banking" is actually one of the most brutal forms of
tyranny. Destroying a man's livelihood, confiscating his money
and his ability to feed his family, is almost as bad as killing
him. This is hard-core repression. And it could be coming here
soon.

In fact, it's already happening to some degree with most major
banks in the United States. These banks are using non-financial
criteria - "environmental, social, and governance" (ESG) factors
- to determine if you should be allowed to use their bank . . .
or if you should be allowed to access your own funds!

Now is the time to put your U.S. Representative and Senators on
the record. Demand they answer: "What are you doing to stop the
Executive Branch from gutting the First Amendment by allowing and
even encouraging banks to freeze the accounts of political
opponents?"

If your congressmen are Republicans, we need them to know their
constituents are alarmed about this issue and they need to
address it and tell us where they stand - right now.

Even if your congressmen are Democrats, they should be alarmed at
the principle of free speech - which so many liberals once fought
so hard to protect - is being swept away. Some might even
recognize that the shoe could be on the other foot again someday.


Either way, it's critical we all contact our members of Congress
and let them know the people are demanding protection from any
possible government repression of our speech via the threat of a
"Do Not Bank" list.

Campaign for Liberty has created a hard-hitting petition to
members of Congress you can send in seconds.

We need Congress to hear the most public outcry possible on this
issue before the Biden regime's Justice Department takes a cue
from Justin Trudeau. We need champions to get in front of this
issue, we need conservatives and civil libertarians to stand up
and speak out.

First, they need to hear from us.
