Patriot,

Last week, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) heroically forced a delay on
a $40 billion spending bill that would escalate the war in
Ukraine into a possible world war, further increase food and
energy prices to American consumers, and waste U.S. taxpayer
money while our own citizens can't buy baby formula.

Congress tried yet again to ram through a spending bill - one
that probably few if any of them actually read - with no
oversight whatsoever into how the money is being spent.

Some of the money, roughly $9 billion, is even earmarked to
protect the paychecks of Ukrainian bureaucrats.

Even more of the money goes to the pet projects of
representatives and senators and will never be seen in Ukraine.
Yet they shoved it into this bill so their cronies will benefit.

Incredibly (or not), Congress managed to blow past the Biden
Administration's request for a "mere" $33 billion and add in
another $7 billion.

All the while, the suffering American people continue to suffer
while being forced to pay the tab.

So much for representing their constituents!

But Senator Paul's stand - which elicited the usual attacks from
the shrieking harpies in the Washington establishment - means we
now have until Wednesday to contact our U.S. Senators and DEMAND
they vote NO on this bloated, America-last spending bill.

NOW is the time to Stand with Rand and call your U.S. Senators.
It really does make a difference: even if your senators
ultimately still do the wrong thing, every bit of pressure from
constituents sends a message and slows them down. Even if you
think your senators will vote against this bloated and wasteful
spending bill, let them know you expect them to stand strong and
not cave in again.

They need to know the American people aren't buying the
Washington Swamp narrative.

Call both of your senators TODAY at (202) 224-3121 and Stand with
Rand!

Here's a sample script:

"Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I am calling as a constituent
from [YOUR STATE].

"I'm calling because we are suffering. Food prices are
skyrocketing, gas prices are skyrocketing, crime is skyrocketing,
and our education and infrastructure are crumbling. And now the
Senate wants to send forty billion American dollars to Ukraine?
Nine billion for the salaries of Ukrainian bureaucrats? This is
the most un-American spending bill imaginable, and I will be
watching for the senator to vote NO."

Paul's column from today, reproduced below.

P.P.S. Here is the latest column from C4L Chairman Ron Paul:

Why Did Rand Paul Delay Washington's $40 Billion Ukraine
Giveaway?
By Ron Paul

Even by Washington standards, the Biden Administration's recent
request for $33 billion for military aid to Ukraine was shocking.
Surely a coalition of antiwar progressives and budget-hawk
Republicans would oppose the dangerous and expensive involvement
of the US in the Russia/Ukraine conflict? No! Not only did
Congress not object: they added nearly seven billion MORE dollars
to the package!

In the end, not a single House Democrat voted against further US
involvement in the war, and just 57 Republicans said "no" to
funding yet another undeclared war.

On the Senate side, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) both demanded immediate
passage of the huge giveaway to Ukraine. That's Washington's
bipartisanship for you.

Then the junior Senator from Kentucky came to the Senate Floor
and did the unthinkable in Washington: he delayed the vote.

"My oath of office is to the national security of the United
States of America," Sen. Rand Paul said. "We cannot save Ukraine
by dooming the US economy." He went on to point out that the US
has spent nearly as much on Ukraine's military as the entire
military budget of Russia and that the US government has sent
more military money to Ukraine than it spent in the entire first
year of the US war in Afghanistan.

Sen. Paul put the package into perspective: this massive giveaway
to Ukraine equals nearly the entire yearly budget of the US State
Department and is larger than the budget of the Department of
Homeland Security!

Schumer was furious with Paul, accusing him of "preventing swift
passage of Ukraine aid because he wants to add at the last minute
his own changes directly into the bill."

What was he trying to add to the bill? In his own words, "All I
requested is an amendment to be included in the final bill that
allows for the Inspector General to oversee how funds are spent."


He wanted at least a bit of oversight on the nearly $50 billion
in total that Washington has sent to what Transparency
International deems one of the most corrupt countries on earth.
Is that really too much to ask?

For Washington, the answer is "yes." The Special Inspector
General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) was an endless
thorn in Washington's side, because he actually did his job and
reported on the billions of dollars that were stolen in
Afghanistan.

In its final report on the 20 year Afghanistan war, SIGAR
reviewed approximately $63 billion of the total $134 billion
appropriated to Afghanistan and found that nearly $19 billion of
the amount was lost to waste, fraud, and abuse. Nearly one third
of the funds they reviewed were outright wasted or stolen by
corrupt Afghan officials. Does anyone think it would be any
different in Ukraine?

Maybe that's why they were so furious that Sen. Paul proposed
that we perhaps keep track of this $40 billion to make sure it's
not wasted: Washington doesn't want to know. And, more
importantly, Washington doesn't want us to know.

The temporary pause is important. It gives Americans a little
time to let their Senators know that they do not support this
ridiculous and wasteful giveaway to Ukraine. Inflation is ripping
through the country. Gas prices are through the roof. Our
infrastructure is crumbling. The dollar is teetering. And we're
giving money away?

The vote appears set for Wednesday. Time to let your Senators
know what you think about it!


Call your senators TODAY at (202) 224-3121 and Stand with Rand
Paul - tell them to vote NO on the $40 billion for Ukrainian
bureaucrats and the military/industrial complex!
