Dear Patriot,

Late yesterday, Campaign for Liberty learned
that House leadership attached a provision to the Continuing
Resolution (CR) extending the USA Freedom Act (the phony "reform"
that replaced Section 215 of the so-called PATRIOT Act) until
March 15, 2020.

The CR must pass Congress this week to avoid
a government shutdown.

And leadership is rushing this bill to the
floor -- in violation of House rules -- to vote on it today.

Why is Congress in such a hurry to extend the
misnamed USA Freedom Act?

Well, the "official" explanation is to give
Congress more time to work on a "compromise" reform bill.

But it's more likely the surveillance state's
congressional lackeys are delaying the final vote until closer to
the election -- so representatives will be too scared of being
smeared as "soft on terror" to vote against renewing this
unconstitutional program.

So please call your U.S. Representative
immediately at 202-224-3121 and tell them to vote NO on the
Continuing Resolution.

And please spread the word about this vote on
social media and make sure your pro-liberty friends and family
know they should contact their representatives.

Congress should not need five months to
determine whether or not to renew the USA Freedom Act.

Eighteen years after a panicked Congress
rushed the PATRIOT Act into law and five years after a majority
of Congress bought the lie that the USA Freedom Act limited mass
surveillance, one thing is clear:

The PATRIOT Act and its successor the USA
Freedom Act trade real liberty for illusionary security. . .

In fact, these programs have never stopped a
single terrorist attack!

What these programs are effective at is
letting federal snoops collect data on all of your phone calls,
tweets, Facebook posts, and even selfies.

The surveillance state's crown jewel is
Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act. This is the section that permits
the National Security Agency (NSA) to collect every American's
call records.

Last year alone, the NSA used Section 215 to
collect phone records on approximately 10 million Americans --
giving government agents access to intimate details of the lives
of Americans who have never been accused or suspected of any
crime, much less of involvement in terrorism.

With Attorney General Bill Barr launching a
new "precrime" initiative to identify potential domestic
terrorists, federal agents will have new justification to use
Section 215 against those who support the Constitution, limited
government, a constitutional foreign policy, and sound money.

It's more important than ever that we repeal
Section 215 and the rest of the misnamed "USA Freedom Act" NOW!

So please call your U.S. Representative
immediately at 202-224-3121 and tell them to vote NO on the
Continuing Resolution.

No government in the history of mankind --
not even the Communist East German Stasi of yesteryear -- has
ever held the massive spying power our federal government holds
over law-abiding U.S. citizens today. . .

And no government in world history that's
ever sought this power has even been able to avoid the temptation
for abuse.

Just since the lid was blown off our federal
government's domestic surveillance programs in the summer of
2013, we've seen story after story hit the press regarding NSA
abuses, including:

*** NSA employees spying on ex-lovers and
spouses -- a practice so common, the intelligence community has
come up with their own jargon, "LOVEINT," to describe it;

*** REFUSING to say whether or not they
spied on members of Congress, which would effectively destroy any
ability of our government's Legislative Branch to police this
rogue agency;

*** Effectively GUTTING attorney-client
privilege by holding confidential records.

There are literally thousands of examples of
abuse. The FBI has become so emboldened, they're using DMV
photos to launch a massive facial recognition database!

This should be no surprise. Men aren't
angels. Neither are politicians and government bureaucrats.

What's made our country the greatest and
freest nation in human history is that our Founders created a
Constitution that's limited the power -- and therefore the damage
-- evil men can inflict.

But today, our Constitution's Fourth
Amendment -- which protects American citizens' right to privacy
from government -- is hanging by nothing but a thread.

And mass surveillance, bulk data collection,
warrantless searches, and all the rest of the infringements on
liberty inflicted on you and me since 9-11 have not increased
safety one iota.

Benjamin Franklin famously said, "Those who
would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary
Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

So, what would Franklin would say about those
who trade real liberty for the Deep State's lies that they are
keeping us safe?

You and I must take action.

So please call your U.S. Representative
immediately at 202-224-3121 and tell them to vote NO on the
Continuing Resolution.

Then forward this to all your pro-liberty
friends and family and share it as widely as you can on social
media.

Remember, the vote is only a few hours away
so there isn't a moment to lose.

In Liberty,

Norman Singleton
President
