Rand Paul calls for tighter scrutiny on admitting refugees

From Rand Paul 2016:

These past few weeks have been a huge wake-up call for Americans.

Not just because of the attacks in Paris, which made it clear we should have better policies on refugees, but also because it revealed a lot about my fellow Republican presidential candidates and their tendency to favor big government over individual liberty.

I’m the only one willing to stand up against the status quo -- against a growing government. That’s why they’re trying to silence me.

But I won’t let them drown us out and I know I can count on you to stand with me and make a big impression with my latest money bomb.

We need to raise $200,000 over this weekend to cover filing fees, grassroots efforts, and digital advertising leading up to the next GOP debate.

We know the media has been working to block our message this whole time. And now we know CNN was working directly with Hillary Clinton to smear me!

That was an actual headline that broke right before Thanksgiving: "EMAILS: CNN REPORTER COORDINATED WITH HILLARY AIDE TO SMEAR RAND PAUL . . ."

Official State Department emails revealed that a CNN reporter coordinated with Clinton staffer to launch social media attacks against me for daring to ask Secretary Clinton tough questions during the 2013 Benghazi hearing!

With the December 15 Republican Debate in Las Vegas rapidly approaching, I have to ask...

Is this a reporter concerned with uncovering critical news to bring to the American people? Or is this a partisan who's already in the tank for her Democrat candidate of choice?

We can't allow the media's shenanigans to silence us. We have to break through and take our message of liberty straight to the American people.

If you agree, will you please make your most generous contribution of $50, $25 or even $10 to my campaign's Money Bomb at once?

Let's show them all, conservative policies speak louder than back-room deals, insider emails, and big government by making a contribution for liberty on Black Friday or cyber Monday.

Will you stand with me today and send a big message to all the naysayers?

In liberty,

Rand Paul

Gays don't deserve special rights



From Public Advocate:

Ally. Hero. Icon.

Those are the words pro-Homosexual "Out" magazine used to describe President Obama on their cover photo of him.

The anti-Family magazine named him their "Ally of the Year" after he became the first sitting president to endorse homosexual "marriage".

Obama took a victory lap in his interview taking credit for every pro-homosexual "achievement" from repealing "don't ask, don't tell" to nominating the first openly gay military branch leader.

The homosexual magazine thanked him for nominating the Homosexual Lobby's two picks for U.S. Supreme Court justices during his tenure.

Theirs were the deciding votes to strike down state laws defending Real Marriage earlier this spring.

Obama didn't waste any more time celebrating past achievements with the magazine.

Shortly after his pro-Homosexual glamour shoot and interview, he called on Congress to immediately pass the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

And the radical Homosexual Lobby wasted no time in pressuring Congressmen to pass the dangerous Gay Bill of Special Rights.

Passage of this bill would virtually destroy Religious Liberty.

I'm worried.

Obama is about to enter the final year of his presidency.

He's seeking to spike the ball and give the radical Homosexual Lobby their crown jewel -- signing the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

The radical Homosexual Lobby is already stuffing their coffers with large donations from homosexual billionaires like Tim Gill and their celebrity accomplices.

I'm afraid House Speaker Paul Ryan -- who already voted for the Gay Bill of Special Rights in the past -- and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will be all too eager to compromise in an election year.

The Homosexual Lobby will promise them expanded majorities in exchange for passing the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

We can't count on weak-kneed Republican leadership to stop the dangerous effects of the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

Employers would be forced to hire and prevented from firing anyone who claims to be a member of this new protected class of homosexuals, bisexuals, and even so called "transsexuals."

Churches would be forced to hire homosexual youth pastors or face lawsuits for discrimination.

Schools would not be able to fire teachers who suddenly decide cross-dressing better "expresses" their "gender identity."

The Gay Bill of Special Rights seeks to create a protected class of citizens based on "sexual orientation" and destroy our right to Religious Liberty in the process.

That's why I need you to sign your "Don't Turn Your Back on Religious Liberty" petition against the Gay Bill of Special Rights right away.

And after you sign your petition, please chip in $10 or $25 to help Public Advocate fight back against the radical Homosexual Lobby's enormous cash flow.

Since 1981, I've managed to ward off the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

But with Obama's last term and GOP leadership eager to push "bipartisanship" over principles, I'm afraid the threat is greater than ever.

So please, protect Religious Liberty from the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

Sign your "Don't Turn Your Back on Religious Liberty" petition right away.

For the Family,

HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the United States

P.S. After his glamour shoot for the pro-Homosexual "Out" magazine, Obama pledged to double-down his efforts to pass the Gay Bill of Special Rights in his last year in office.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and every member of Congress need to know pro-Family Americans are watching their actions closely.

Please sign your "Don't Turn Your Back on Religious Liberty" petition and chip in $10 or $25 right away to help Public Advocate defeat the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

Sometimes you got to wing it and falling in love



Love can be a strange thing at times.

CNN conspires with Hillary Clinton to ruin Rand Paul

In case you missed it: A newly revealed State Department email shows that CNN correspondent Elise Labott coordinated with Hillary Clinton's aids to discredit Rand during the 2013 Benghazi hearings.

Even I didn't think CNN would actually go this far.

The liberal media has taken their Clinton sycophancy to a new low. CNN needs to address this bias and lack of journalistic integrity. This email revelation should give Republicans pause as to their coverage and possibility of fair treatment towards Sen. Paul during the next debate. All eyes will be on CNN's response to their employee colluding with Hillary Clinton in order to attack a prominent U.S. senator on their dime.

Will you #StandWithRand against this ridiculous media bias today?

In Liberty,

Black lives matter protesters shot



I don't blame the shooters I'm getting tired of these bastards myself.

Show your support for Rand Paul



From Rand Paul 2016:

The momentum continues to build for Rand!

The last GOP debate was a turning point. People saw that Rand was the only conservative on stage, and since then? He’s been proving it.

He’s introduced a bill to stop dangerous refugees from entering the country, defund welfare from unscrutinized refugees from jihadist countries, and a bill that would allow Americans in Washington, D.C. to own guns as the Second amendment intended.

The polls coming out lately are all positive. Here is the well-respected Reuters poll that is being shown on news channels across the country today.

According to this, Rand Paul passed Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush and moved into 4th place, just two points behind Marco Rubio.

And a new Iowa poll says the same thing - Rand is ahead of Bush, Fiorina, Christie, and Kasich.

Coming into December, this race is going to be a 5-person race. We need to make sure Rand stays in the Top 5.

We’re on the right track already. Rand is on an upward trend in every poll. We just need to keep this momentum going and we can with the help of committed supporters like you.

It turns out that standing for liberty and real conservative principles resonates with people. We’re all tired of the politicians going from talking point to talking point. We’re tired of reckless policies that send our sons and daughters to war. We know that the same old Washington isn’t working for us and we can count on Rand to change it.

Can we count on you to #StandwithRand as our momentum builds?

In Liberty,

Doug Stafford

Audit the Fed is coming up for a vote after Thanksgiving

From Campaign For Liberty:

I just got off the phone with Norm Singleton.

The U.S. Senate WILL VOTE on Audit the Fed soon after the Thanksgiving recess.

Whether it passes or fails depends on the amount of pressure you and I are able to apply to weak-kneed senators.

But I have bad news, too.

After all the insanity the statists have tried to RAM down our throats over the past few months, Campaign for Liberty’s resources are drained.

And we do not have the funds necessary to run the type of program it'll take to apply enough pressure on the Senate to pass my Audit the Fed bill.

Because this is an all-out emergency, I've decided to give away a Colt AR-15 rifle as part of our Emergency Audit the Fed Vote Blitz to encourage you to make a generous donation now when it will count so much.

Anyone who signs their Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions before tonight at midnight will be automatically entered to win a Colt AR-15.

I’ll give you the link to sign your Emergency Fax Petitions and enter your name in our AR-15 giveaway in just a moment, but first let me tell you why I need your help -- right now -- to turn up the heat on the U.S. Senate.

You see, weak-kneed senators are back home in their respective states and won’t be back in Washington until November 30.

In the meantime, there will be nowhere to hide from the nearly 80% of their constituents who believe the Federal Reserve should be audited.

And with Campaign for Liberty’s committed grassroots activists in states all over the country ready to turn up the heat, you and I can have more of an impact RIGHT NOW than ever before.

You see, a similar effort might cost another organization millions.

But with my massive network of “boots on the ground,” this program should cost only a fraction of that.

Campaign for Liberty is widely acknowledged to have one of the best grassroots operations in the policy arena today.

Today I'm counting on your help to continue to earn that reputation by helping generate maximum pressure -- RIGHT NOW -- on weak-kneed senators to vote for Audit the Fed.

So please sign your Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions (and be entered to win an AR-15) before midnight deadline tonight.

Since its founding, Campaign for Liberty has mobilized millions of Americans in order to force Congress to act on the people’s demands for an end to the Fed’s secretive monetary policy.

And thanks to the efforts of Campaign for Liberty members like you, Audit the Fed has not only become a major political issue, but twice passed the House of Representatives as a standalone bill in 2012 and 2014.

Unfortunately for those past efforts, former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid prevented Audit the Fed from ever reaching the Senate floor.

Thankfully, the American people fired Harry Reid as Majority Leader last November. And there will be a Senate vote on Audit the Fed after the Thanksgiving recess.

That's why I'm counting on you to sign your Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions (and be entered into the AR-15 giveaway) immediately.

But to turn up the heat on the U.S. Senate to pass Audit the Fed, it's going to take a massive amount of pressure on the U.S. Senate.

Generating maximum pressure on the Senate is so important that anyone who signs our Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions will have their names automatically entered into our Colt AR-15 sweepstakes.

So please sign your Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions immediately.

As I mentioned, Campaign for Liberty does not have the resources to launch our hard-hitting grassroots program at this time.

That's why, after you sign your petitions, I must ask you to please go one step further and make an emergency contribution of $100, $50, $25 -- or any amount you can afford at this time.

With your generous contribution, Campaign for Liberty will have the resources to:

>>> Flood the Senate with petitions, faxes, and phone calls over the next seven days in support of Audit the Fed;

>>> Run Internet ads on popular sites targeting Senators like Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Jeff Flake, and Bernie Sanders who have all supported Audit the Fed in the past but are AWOL this Congress;

>>> Produce hard-hitting TV and radio ads -- funds permitting -- targeting weak-kneed senators to alert even more Americans about the upcoming vote.

This is the exact same successful grassroots program that helped pass Audit the Fed through the U.S. House in 2012 and 2014.

And with your immediate financial support, it's the exact same program Campaign for Liberty will run to generate maximum pressure on the U.S. Senate leading up to the vote.

That's why I'm counting on you to dig deep and make your most generous contribution of $100 or $50 today!

But if $100 or $50 is just too much at this time, I hope you'll consider giving a generous contribution of $25 or $10 to help fund this critical fight.

Campaign for Liberty has mobilized millions of Americans in order to force Congress to act on the people’s demand for an end to the Fed’s corrupt and secretive monetary policy.

And your representatives on Capitol Hill are responding. As a result, there will be a Senate vote on Audit the Fed.

This is the legacy of liberty we WILL leave for our children and grandchildren.

This is our legacy of liberty. And the outcome depends on your generous support.

As I mentioned above, this project is so important to me that I authorized my staff to enter everyone who signs their Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions by midnight tonight for a chance to win an AR-15.

Campaign for Liberty’s AR-15 Giveaways also celebrate a legacy of liberty -- the fundamental liberty to keep and bear arms.

So please sign your Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions -- and make your most generous contribution -- right away to help in this fight.

Remember, anyone who signs their Audit the Fed petitions will have their name entered to win a Colt AR-15.

Thank you in advance for your support.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul

Chairman

P.S. I’m in need of your generous support today if Campaign for Liberty is going to implement our grassroots mobilization program to pass Audit the Fed in the U.S. Senate.

Since this is an all-out EMERGENCY, I’ve authorized my staff to give away a Colt AR-15 rifle to one lucky petition signer to encourage you to give generously now, when your support is needed most.

Do not let unvetted Syrians enter the United States

From The Tea Party Patriots:

This is a national security issue of the utmost importance, and I need your help right away!

Please, right this minute, sign Tea Party Patriots’ national petition demanding that Congress stop Barack Obama from bringing thousands of un-vetted Syrian refugees to the United States.

Despite the fact that one of the Paris attackers repeatedly posed as a Syrian “refugee” to evade detection by French authorities, Barack Obama is still committed to bringing in thousands of refugees, regardless of the consequences.

“We the People” must tell the leftist Democrats in Congress that it’s time to put party allegiance aside and do what’s best for the American people. These refugees must not be allowed into the United States until we have a way to verify that they are safe!

And after you have done so, please forward this email to everyone you know. It’s imperative that we collect thousands more signatures as soon as possible.

Every day, more Syrians are caught sneaking into America and Europe with forged passports.

Most of them, I’m sure, are truly seeking asylum. But right now, we have no way of knowing for sure.

And until that changes, our nation is in ever-increasing danger with each day that more refugees are allowed into the country.

Please send a message to Congress by signing the petition.

With the help of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, Barack Obama is determined to bring in potentially dangerous refugees by the thousands. He is deliberately ignoring the level of danger that these refugees pose to our national security.

We MUST demand that Congress halt this refugee program immediately!

America’s national security is at great risk, and the leftist Democrats in Congress are acting like nothing is wrong.

We must stop this madness!

We need to flood Congressional offices with petitions demanding that this insane refugee plan be scrapped before innocent American lives are lost.

Sign the petition and urge all of your family and friends to the same.

Thank you so much for your support.

Support postal banking

From the Daily KOS:

Imagine if your local post office also offered check-cashing services and provided small dollar loans.

Sign the petition by Daily Kos and a coalition of allies urging the Postmaster General to make postal banking a reality now.

Nearly 28% of U.S. households (mostly low-income) are underserved by traditional banks, and must rely on for-profit payday lenders, check cashers and other financial predators.

Postal banking is a reality in other developed countries, and was a reality in the United States from 1911-1966. The USPS is a well-trusted public institution with over 30,000 branches that can provide affordable, nonprofit, consumer-driven financial services.

Sign if you agree: We need postal banking now.

Keep fighting,
Paul Hogarth, Daily Kos

Tell Congress not to kill Net Neutrality

Net Neutrality is Under Attack

Don't let Congress break the Internet by dismantling Net Neutrality — share this video to raise the alarm.Take action here: https://www.battleforthenet.com/?call_tool=1

Posted by Fight For The Future on Tuesday, November 24, 2015

From Free Press Action Fund:

Some members of Congress are exploiting the quiet workweek by sneaking bad Net Neutrality riders into a must-pass government-funding bill. These riders would flat out prevent the FCC from enforcing the Net Neutrality rules.

Right now congressional leaders are negotiating behind closed doors — and some are trying to work in language that would reverse the FCC’s historic Net Neutrality ruling.

We worked too hard for that win to let anyone undo it — let alone in secret.

Real leaders don't resort to these kinds of dirty tricks. Pick up the phone and tell congressional leaders to stop messing with Net Neutrality.

We saw a similar effort over the summer but, thanks to the massive public outcry from people like you, the bills never made it to the floor. That could change now as talk of funding showdowns and shutdowns is starting up again in the run-up to the Dec. 11 budget deadline.

Your voice is needed: Tell congressional leaders to leave Net Neutrality alone.

Congress shouldn't be allowed to dismantle the FCC's strong open Internet rules. This stops now.

Thanks for all that you do—

Sandy, Matt, Dutch and the rest of the Free Press Action Fund team
freepress.net

P.S. Don't let these Net Neutrality opponents negotiate away your rights in secret. Tell congressional leaders to leave the FCC's rules alone.

P.P.S. Most of you won't be calling your own members of Congress, but that's OK. These offices need to hear from people like you!

Indict Hillary Clinton for the deaths in Benghazi

Friend,

My name is Dan Backer and I serve as General Counsel for the Stop Hillary PAC.

Normally I don't get involved in direct communications with our members – my job is representing SHP in any and all legal matters – that's why I'm contacting you today.

I'm going to make this quick and to the point – we're at the stage of the fight against Hillary Clinton where an attorney is exactly the person to take the next step. But not alone – and hopefully not without you.

The evidence implicating Hillary Clinton for her shameful role in the 9/11/2012 Benghazi terror attack that claimed four Americans' lives – and her equally disturbing cover-up – is already massive and clear:

◦By failing to personally ensure that Ambassador Chris Stevens' urgent requests for additional security in Benghazi were approved, Hillary Clinton appears to have plainly violated U.S. Code Title 22 Chapter 58 Subchapter IV § 4865.

◦By failing to properly secure classified documents – and failing to return all records to the U.S. Government upon cessation of her duties as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton violated both her oath of office and several federal laws.

◦By using a personal email address – an @clintonemail.​com address, no less – Hillary Clinton appears to have willfully concealed government documents, a felony punishable by three years in prison and permanent disqualification from holding public office.

◦By using an email address that creates the false impression that the emailer is using a government server when she is not, Hillary Clinton committed yet another felony.

The former Secretary of State and would-be President's culpability couldn't be more clearly established– how much more evidence is necessary?

While Barack Obama's politicized Department of Justice won't bring charges, - no matter how damning the FBI report is – it's time WE THE PEOPLE – before it's too late.

It's time for the People of the United States to INDICT Hillary Clinton.

Friend, THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN... We're running out of time to stop Hillary's headlong march to the White House – and her subsequent suppression of any charges against her – imagine, the first president to PARDON HERSELF FOR ALL THE CRIMES SHE HAS – OR WILL – COMMIT!

That's why I'm asking you to click here immediately to sign on to our "Citizens Indictment of Hillary Clinton" – and we must complete this all-important initiative by November 30th – which gives us just 48 hours to comply.

You and I must bring the full force of the American people to the fight for justice for Ambassador Chris Stevens and the brave American men who gave their lives trying to save him.

This initiative must have the strongest possible support – we need to collect no less than 250,000 signatures for this emergency Citizens Indictment so there is no question about the massive grassroots determination behind it.

When we amass this staggering amount of signatures to the indictment, we will immediately carry out the following:

1.We will deliver all quarter of a million signatures to our "Citizens Indictment of Hillary Clinton" to the United States Justice Department to demand swift legal action against the former Secretary of State;

2.We will deliver copies of our "Citizens Indictment of Hillary Clinton" to the White House, Congress, and the media to ensure that this seismic grassroots demonstration of public power is duly acknowledged; and,

3.We will deliver the "Citizens Indictment of Hillary Clinton" to the former Secretary in person to publicly confirm our determination to see that she meets with the justice she deserves.

Hillary Clinton cannot be elected to the Presidency while under indictment for offenses which permanently disqualify the offender from holding public office – especially the White House.

But according to our sources, with no charges yet filed against her, Hillary and her allies in the media – not to mention the fat cat leftist billionaires who bankroll her campaign – are increasingly confident she'll skate away scot free and go on to win the White House.

You and I must show Hillary and her enablers that they are wrong – and we must strike now.

Will you sign the Citizen's Indictment of Hillary by clicking here?

Congressman Trey Gowdy has taken things as far as he can but now we must take matters into our own hands.

If we gather a quarter of a million signatures to this Indictment on the next 48 hours, we can show Congress, the media, and the establishment elites that Hillary will not escape the court of public opinion AND SHE WILL NOT ESCAPE HER RESPONSIBILITY FOR BENGHAZI.

Please, stop what you are doing and immediately sign your "Citizens Indictment of Hillary Clinton" right away – we have just 48 hours to meet this game-changing objective, so don't delay.

And if you can, chip in $10 to help us fight to help us distribute our Indictment as widely as possible, meet our crucial goal, and ensure Hillary is held accountable.

Join me in demanding justice!

Sincerely,

Dan Backer
General Counsel, Stop Hillary PAC

P.S. Friend, your participation is critical to our chances of success! The clock is ticking – please sign the Citizens' Indictment by clicking here and after signing, chip in $10 to help us reach the 250,000 signatures we need. Hurry, time's running out to stop Hillary Clinton – please act today! This is our best chance to stop Hillary, but we've got just 48 hours to reach our goal of 250,000 signatures. I'm ready to file as soon as let's get it done!

The gay bill of speical rights is going to the House

From Public Advocate:

What I've warned you about for years is finally here...

A life or death battle that will determine whether:

A) The pro-Family movement answers the call, rises to the occasion, and defends our nation against the violations in the Gay Bill of Special Rights (H.R. 3185 & S. 1858).

OR...

B) The Homosexual Lobby succeeds and a privileged status is granted to every homosexual, bisexual and "transgendered" in the nation.

You and I have been fighting against this bill for years, but the stakes are higher after the Gay Bill of Special Rights passed the Senate for the first time ever last session.

The Supreme Court ruling against Real Marriage has set the stage for an all-out showdown in Congress.

And this is the perfect time for the Homosexual Lobby to twist arms in Congress using momentum from their recent Supreme Court victory.

By the time you get this email, insiders say a vote on the Gay Bill of Special Rights could already be in the works.

That's because the pro-Homosexual Lobby Rep. Paul Ryan is the new Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

And his past vote for the Gay Bill of Special Rights is just the opportunity the radical Homosexual Lobby is hoping for.

This means I need your help right now, before it's too late.

If Public Advocate is going to rally pro-Family opposition to this crown jewel of the Homosexual Agenda, you and I must hit the ground after the midterm elections on a war footing.

While you and I have defeated this bill in the past, the Homosexual Lobby has now recruited the largest number of sponsors this bill has ever had.

That's why I've officially launched your Public Advocate into overdrive.

Leftist and pro-homosexual news media attack Public Advocate's every move and that proves it is a close battle with a lot for us to lose by complacency.

This battle will be like none before. You and I must pull out all the stops.

Oppose the GayBill of Special Rights

Please sign your petition to your Representatives in Congress demanding they defeat the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

Your signed petition is the first step in defeating this dangerous legislation, so it is vital you sign it at once.

We must prove to Congress the overwhelming majority of Americans will not tolerate this attempt to force homosexuality into every aspect of our lives.

But there's more.

As you know, the Homosexual Lobby hoards vast treasuries they can unleash at a moment's notice to drown out our voices.

And the amount of money they've spent fighting for legal and legislative victories proves the opposition is stronger than ever.

That's why I need you to please give an emergency donation as well as sign your petition.

Your donation will allow me to execute step two in my plan to defeat the Gay Bill of Special Rights:

Alerting hundreds of thousands, hopefully millions of pro-Family Americans to what's going on in Washington right now.

With our entire movement mobilized, our voices CAN rise above the noise of the radical Homosexual Lobby.

But we have to act quickly.

They could launch their latest campaign to pass the Gay Bill of Special Rights at any moment!

By acting now, I can put Public Advocate's 34 years of experience behind defeating this immoral bill.

Over the decades, you and I have killed it over and over again. But this time we are facing a well-oiled machine that's learning from its recent and prestigious victories.

But if you and I fight harder and faster than ever before, we may still be able to stop the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

I'm just worried it's too late.

Please sign your Petition right now and tell your Senators and Congressman that you are against the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

Oppose the GayBill of Special Rights

Passage of the Gay Bill of Special Rights would create a protected class of citizens based on "sexual orientation".

Employers would be forced to hire, and prevented from firing anyone who claims to be a member of this new protected class of homosexuals, bisexuals, and even so-called "transsexuals".

Churches would be forced to hire homosexual youth pastors or face lawsuits for discrimination.

Schools would not be able to fire teachers who suddenly decide crossdressing better "expresses" their "gender identity".

This has been keeping me up for days.

We have a small window of opportunity before this bill reaches Barack Obama's desk.

They have 170 co-sponsors in the House and almost 40 co-sponsors in the Senate!

Fortunately, many in Congress who are currently supporting this bill, are only doing so while it is kept quiet and in the shadows.

That's why it is absolutely critical I am able to expose this bill to the light of day.

Your signed petition and emergency contribution are crucial to doing just that.

When I flood Washington D.C. with signed petitions from you and other pro-Family Americans, they will have no choice but to listen to us or pay a high price next election.

And only through your generous donation will I be able to compete with the radical homosexual tidal wave of special interest cash.

I am giving all I have to this new onslaught -- my money, my time and sometimes even my health.

Please send your generous donation of $15, $10 or $5 as soon as possible.

Your donation of $15 will allow me to alert thousands of pro-Family Americans.

With their voices added to ours, Congress will have no choice but to listen and stop pandering to the radical homosexuals -- or face outraged pro-Family voters next election.

I still believe you and I can stop the radical homosexuals and their allies in the coming lame duck Congress.

But if we are going to win this fight, we must act now.

For the Family,

HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the United States

P.S. The Supreme Court ruling against Real Marriage has set the stage for an all-out showdown in Congress to pass the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

And this is the perfect time for the Homosexual Lobby to twist arms in Congress using momentum from their recent Supreme Court victory.

That's why I've officially launched your Public Advocate into overdrive, and I need your help to succeed.

Please sign your petition against the Gay Bill of Special Rights right away and please give your generous donation of $15, $10 or $5. Thank you so much.

Muslims take over Michigan town

Hamtramck, Michigan is the first city in America with a majority Muslim population. According to the Washington Post, the population finally got up the numbers to put their people into city and local government.

And, boy — they didn’t take long to show exactly what a Muslim-run city council was going to do for the impoverished Michigan town.

Hamtramck has been, for decades, a town of Polish immigrants.

Right after the Nov. 3 election, community organizer Ibrahim Algahim expressed glee that the immigrants who had built the town up were no longer in power. “Today, we show the Polish and everybody else,” he said.

And show them, they did. It’s now illegal to serve alcohol within 500 feet of a mosque in Hamtramck, which is surrounded by Detroit and is the most densely populated town in Michigan with a population of 22,000.

And this in a town, according to the Washington Post, that openly flaunted prohibition by keeping bars open.

However, according to one of the men on the city council, Saam Almasmari, it’s not their fault.

“I don’t know why people keep putting religion into politics,” said Almasari, the highest vote-getter in November’s election. “When we asked for votes, we didn’t ask what their religion was.”

The Washington Post describes the city as “row after row of two-story, turn-of-the-century bungalows packed into two square miles.” After manufacturing jobs left, as with the rest of the Michigan, property values in the town plummeted, which led to massive demographic shifts. Now, 27 languages are spoken in Hamtramck’s schools.

“The Polish people think we were invading them,” said Masud Khan, a leader of the town’s al-Islah Islamic Center. “We were a big threat to their religion and culture. Now their days are gone.”

Do you think the story of Hamtramck should serve as a warning to America? Let us know how you feel on our Facebook page and Twitter.

Audit The Fed vote in the Senate to happen after Thanksgiving

From Campaign For Liberty:

Janet Yellen’s message to you and me is very clear.

Leave me alone

She desperately wants Campaign for Liberty activists to shut up, go away, and just leave her and her Federal Reserve cronies alone.

But I’ve got a message for Janet Yellen – you and I will never back down.

Audit the Fed is just that important.

But to turn up the heat on the U.S. Senate to pass Audit the Fed, it’s going to take a massive amount of pressure from concerned patriots like you.

And put simply, Campaign for Liberty's resources to apply this pressure are drained.

We need funds right away to launch our hard-hitting grassroots Internet program targeting weak-kneed Senators who are dragging their feet on supporting Audit the Fed.

Polling shows nearly 75% of Americans support the bill.

Please take a moment right now and sign your Emergency Audit the Fed petition before Tuesday at midnight. As soon as you sign, you’ll be automatically entered to win a brand new Colt AR-15, engraved with Ron Paul’s signature.

My inside sources on Capitol Hill tell me the U.S. Senate WILL VOTE on Dr. Paul’s signature Audit the Fed bill after Thanksgiving.

So please don’t delay!

Sign your Emergency Audit the Fed petitions immediately (and be entered to win an AR-15). And then make your most generous contribution of $40 or $30 to help offset the cost of our Internet program.

Rand Paul on the issues including eminent domain



Did Rand Paul just say that Trump favors eminent domain? Yes he did because that is what Donald Trump said:



Trump says that eminent domain is a good thing and it is never abused? Who is he bullshitting? Check this out:





Even the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court ducks addresses the issue of eminent domain:



Eminent domain Hawaiian style:

Rand Paul calls bullshit on massive spying



From Rand Paul 2016:

Whenever there is a tragedy, we are immediately told we must trade our liberty for security.

As I told hundreds of students this week, that is bullsh-t.

Sometimes you just have to say it.

The truth is, the government is already collecting all of our data. They’ve got our emails, our phone records, they never miss a beat. And it did not prevent the attacks in the Paris. It did not keep us safe.

Now we’ve got the Senate calling for an extension of the largely ineffective mass surveillance program run by the NSA. In fact, my opponent Marco Rubio wants to permanently extend the program that allows the federal government to spy on every aspect of your life, simply because you have a cell phone.

Without a warrant. Without cause.

How is that conservative? How is it conservative to expand the power of government to survey the personal data of every single American citizen?

Truth is, it’s not conservative at all.

Even worse, the government excuses this unconstitutional activity by claiming it will make us safer. And we know it doesn’t.

We can talk all day about the intricacies of certain policies but this one is cut and dry -- you support the constitution or you support mass surveillance. Rubio, Hillary, they’ve chosen the side of big government over the constitution with this one.

They’re so wrong, it’s not even funny.

We know safety starts at home. That’s why I introduced my bill demanding further scrutiny of refugees coming into the United States. We need to be smarter about our immigration policies, smarter about where the United States spends money, and how. It’s not about tapping more phones and invading the privacy of innocent Americans.

Bottom line, the idea that we have to sacrifice freedom to be safe is BS.

If you agree, stand with me.

Tell Congress to travel coach

From Freedom Works:

What if I told you that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are flying first class around the country on your dime? If you’re like me, I’m guessing you’d be pretty mad. And if that doesn’t raise your blood pressure, this will. The entire Congress is doing the same thing, and they’re not breaking any rules when they do it. Send a message to your Representative today, and tell them to stop flying first class your dime.

Thankfully Rep. Rod Blum is fighting to end this waste of your tax dollars. But naturally, Congress is trying to kill his bill. They want to protect this taxpayer funded perk. They think they’re entitled to it. I say it’s time to remind them that they work for us. Contact your Congressman today and tell them to stop flying first class on your dime!

Let’s show Congress how freedom works.

The government wants backdoor access to your computer

From Fight For The Future:

I wish we didn’t have to send this email. I wish we could take this week to reflect and grieve. But some politicians are wasting no time exploiting tragedy and manipulating our emotions to push their political agendas. (1) We can't remain silent.

Sign the petition: more mass surveillance will not make us safer.

The attacks in Paris and Beirut have all of us looking for answers. What can we do to stop this violence?

But while people around the world are grappling with that question, government officials are instead seizing the opportunity to renew their attacks on our most basic freedoms, even though they know it won’t make us safer from attacks.

Specifically, officials in the U.S. and Europe are pushing to ban strong encryption technology. (2) They want every type of Internet security to have a “backdoor” so that governments can access literally everything. Here’s the problem: weakening encryption will actually make us all less safe. Even if you trust governments to never abuse this system and only use it in the most extreme circumstances, once a backdoor exists, it can be used by anyone who can find it, including criminals, other governments, and yes, even terrorists. (3)

Fortunately, we’ve done a mountain of work over the last year educating the public and fighting this kind of misinformation, so more people than ever before know what’s really going on. Security experts agree that putting backdoors in encryption technology and letting the government collect even more of our personal information won’t prevent attacks like the ones we saw last week.

The battle lines are being drawn, but some powerful voices have been listening and are weighing in on the side of freedom and logic. The influential New York Times editorial board just came out swinging with the headline: “Mass surveillance is not the answer to fighting terrorism.” This is exactly the message leaders need to hear right now.

If you agree, don’t be silent and let them take our freedom away. Send the NYT editorial to your lawmakers and tell them that more surveillance won’t make us safer.

The details from Paris and Beirut are still emerging. The latest evidence suggests that the attackers were using totally unencrypted SMS messages. (4) The facts haven’t stopped politicians and pundits from demonizing encryption, but the reality is that it’s still not clear exactly how this happened, or how it could have been prevented.

What is clear is that now is not the time to make hasty decisions and rush to pass laws we’ve barely read. That path has failed us time and again. (5) Now is the time for informed, thoughtful, discussion about the causes of this violence and the real solutions to address it.

Weakening the encryption that protects our hospitals, power plants, airports, and personal information isn’t going to make us safer.

Collecting a giant haystack of data about hundreds of millions of innocent people is not going to stop the next attack.

We need real answers and solutions, not politicians scrambling spin this terrible situation to grab more power.

Do you agree? Click here to take one small action to make sure we don’t repeat our mistakes.

These decisions about encryption and mass surveillance will determine the type of world our children and our children’s children will live in. We shouldn’t let them be made for us by opportunistic politicians or violent attackers.

Yours for freedom and a better world,
~ Fight for the Future

P.S. Here’s a link directly to the New York Times editorial. Please share it widely! P.P.S. This is probably the only time you’ll see us rallying behind an NYT editorial. Savor the strangeness.

Join with Rand Paul in protecting America



From Rand Paul 2016:

Washington, D.C. is beside itself after my actions earlier today.

This afternoon -- against the wishes of my Senate colleagues in BOTH parties -- I offered my amendment to END taxpayer-funded welfare handouts to dangerous Syrian refugees President Obama continues to welcome into this country.

My colleagues couldn't figure out how to stop me. My amendment was completely within U.S. Senate rules.

So they decided shut down the U.S. Senate early to avoid going on record!

If they think this latest outrage is the end of it, they couldn't be more wrong.

As I told you earlier, I will use ALL available Senate rules, procedures and time available until I receive an up-or-down vote on my amendment.

But I'm counting on you to stand with me today. Will you please add your name as a cosponsor of my bill to stop terrorists from entering the United States as refugees?

I believe this fight illustrates everything that's wrong with Washington, D.C. today.

After last week's terrorist attacks in France where at least one refugee played a central role, my colleagues still refuse to look seriously at potentially dangerous characters filtering into our country.

They refuse to have a serious discussion about immigration, border security or the ongoing refugee program.

Not only that, but our country is $18.6 TRILLION in debt. We borrow a million dollars a minute.

Yet, my colleagues in the U.S. Senate won't even discuss, debate or vote on a bill to stop taxpayer-funded benefits to refugees?

Instead, moments after the Senate shut down, my colleagues were harping to the press about how my move disrupted their grand spending plans for the Department of Transportation, Housing and Urban Development.

It's madness.

Washington, D.C. needs new leadership.

But that means continuing to force debate on tough issues the Big Government establishment in BOTH parties would just rather not touch.

That's exactly what I'll do as President.

But I'm counting on you to stand with me.

Please sign your name as a cosponsor to my amendment to stop terrorists from entering our country as refugees.

And if at all possible, please agree to your most generous contribution right away.

I'm counting on you.

In Liberty,

Rand Paul

Hillary says don't make fun of me or else



While in Los Angeles last week for fundraising, Hillary Clinton felt like updating her humor protocols by stopping off at the famed Laugh Factory. The roster of comedians that have performed at the renowned Los Angeles venue is no laughing matter: Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Dave Chappelle, Jay Leno, Damon Wayans, and George Carlin, to name a few. But when a former secretary of state enters a comedy club and makes her presence known, she is apt to become as much of a target for the performers as the middle-class club-goers she is hoping to champion. Result: Hillary isn’t laughing anymore. As reported by Judicial Watch, Hillary’s campaign is working to have a short video of her visit removed from the Laugh Factory’s website, featuring highlights of the comics that night and the pot shots they took at Hillary. Judicial Watch’s report is based on a statement by club founder Jamie Masada, who claims the campaign has threatened him legally if he doesn’t remove the clips from his website. “They threatened me,” Masada said. “I have received complains before but never a call like this, threatening to put me out of business if I don’t cut the video.” Judicial Watch’s report goes on to state:

Masada told Judicial Watch that, as soon as the video got posted on the Laugh Factory website, he received a phone call from a “prominent” person inside Clinton’s campaign. “He said the video was disgusting and asked who put me up to this,” Masada said. The Clinton staffer, who Masada did not want to identify, also demanded to know the names and phone numbers of the comedians that appear in the video. Masada refused and hung up.

As of this writing, the Laugh Factory has complied with the Clinton campaign’s demands and removed the video from its site. However a quick YouTube search on “​Hillary Clinton vs. the First Amendment”​ can still turn it up.Based on viewing the video while it was available, I can give a brief description of the now-embargoed laughs. Comedian Greg Fitzsimmons greeted Hillary by complimenting her appearance: “You look great! Nothing like a skirt, suit, and shoulder pads to say ‘I’m all woman’” Fitzsimmons then turned his attention to the crowd. “What’s with those [expletive] skirt suits Hillary Clinton wears? She looks like she’s playing linebacker for T.J. Maxx.” That was some of the tamer material directed at Clinton. One can almost picture Her Majesty sitting courtside and demanding “Off with their heads” as they one by one took their shots.

That was some of the tamer material directed at Clinton. One can almost picture Her Majesty sitting courtside and demanding “Off with their heads” as they one by one took their shots. There is no comment yet from the Clinton campaign, but this could and should be a potentially damaging episode for Her Highness at a time when both PC and ridicule of PC are at an all-time high, and more and more comics are using their acts to lash out, and Clinton’s campaign is still test-running Grandma’s-humor protocols for her latest OS update.

Both Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld have said they will no longer perform on college campuses. After watching a blizzard of special snowflakes melt down at Yale and the University of Missouri, among other campus hot spots, these past two weeks, no on should blame them. Comedians such as Anthony Jeselnik, Jim Jefferies, and Bill Burr have gone on offense and made being shamed by the social-media PC mobs part of their acts. Self-proclaimed progressive and Democrat Bill Maher, for all his smugness, said last month, “I’m going to vote Republican, because I just can’t stand being on the same team as these humorless jackoffs.” As many have observed, South Park has used comedy relentlessly to assail political culture. Even Donald Trump allowed himself to be roasted on Comedy Central.

And in the end, the biggest tragedy of all in this latest dust-up is that most of the comedy-circuit denizens, fans and comics alike, will still vote for Hillary Clinton a year from now. They will open their pocketbooks and give Hillary Clinton in-kind donations as well as their votes. They will openly support the one candidate who is attacking those who make their living in an industry that can be soul-crushing for struggling new comics.

The threat to First Amendment rights in Clinton’s shutdown of comics is obviously grave. But Clinton has proved she’s never been particularly keen on that amendment to begin with. After all, she told the father of one of the CIA officers killed in Benghazi: “We will make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted.” And in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo massacre, Hillary notably failed to defend free speech and, to date, has not even released a public statement. But if she wants to tour the country attempting to prove to Sunday-morning hosts and “everyday Americans” that she is in fact a real person, she might want to learn how to take a joke.

If you make a political contribution the IRS wants your social security number

From Freedom Works:

Right now, Obama and his corrupt IRS are proposing a regulation that would require you to give up your social security number when you donate to the causes you believe in. This regulation makes it easier for Obama and the IRS to target conservatives like you and me! We already know they're capable of it, the Lois Lerner IRS scandal confirms it. And now you've got a chance to stop it, before it begins. Send a message to Obama's corrupt IRS and tell them to keep your social security number private.

It's always been Obama's dream to have an America without conservatives. And this regulation is the first step to making Obama's dream a reality. And if we don't stop this, it could happen sooner than we ever thought possible. Send a message today and tell the IRS to keep your social security number private.

Let's keep freedom working, both now and in the future.

To keep the IRS honest I suggest you contact your Representative and Senators and let them know you are opposed to this latest stunt by the IRS. The more of us they hear from the better.

Marco Rubio is no conservative

From Rand Paul 2016:

The strategy of Marco Rubio, Hillary Clinton, and Chuck Schumer and the Gang of 8 to support liberal immigration policies would make our country dramatically less safe. They seem to want to put American troops on the ground in the Middle East, but are unwilling to secure our borders here at home.

Rubio’s liberal immigration policies are bad for conservatives, bad for our country, and most importantly, bad for our nation’s security.

That is why Rand fought for an amendment that would’ve allowed Congress to have more oversight on immigration and further scrutinize those allowed in the country to keep America safer. Marco Rubio blocked this amendment, and other conservative amendments because of a backroom deal with liberal Senator Chuck Schumer.

This critical issue is now becoming even more important because of the Paris attacks and the Syrian refugee crisis. Rubio’s liberal immigration policy puts our country even more at risk.

And it gets even worse. Rubio even wanted these refugees to come into our country without Rand’s immigration security amendment.

Here is what National Review said:

In September, Rubio told a South Carolina town hall audience, “We would be potentially open to the relocation of some of these individuals at some point in time to the United States.” But the prospect that terrorists could use the refugee crisis to smuggle themselves into the United States was obvious in September, as was the fact that there is no system of vetting available to us that could mitigate that risk.

Rubio has expressed support for allowing the refugees into our country, opposed Rand’s amendment to strengthen the security measures in immigration policy, and cut a backroom deal with Chuck Schumer to oppose conservatives. This should forever preclude conservatives from supporting Marco Rubio.

We can trust Rand to stand strong for conservative principles, and make decisions that will make our country safer here at home.

Please join thousands of concerned Americans in standing with Rand on his opposition of allowing Syrian refugees into this nation. To sign petition

Gays bully children

From Public Advocate:

"Why is Karen now a boy?"

That's the question parents are going to have to explain to their children who attend the Children's Lighthouse Learning Center in Katy, Texas.

You see, two male homosexual "parents" adopted a six-year-old little girl who is claiming to be a boy because of them.

The radical parents had the little girl's hair cut, dressed her in little boy clothes and demanded employees and classmates at the school call their daughter-in-disguise a boy's name.

So the little girl's daycare teachers were told by administration to call the girl by a boy's name -- and to force her classmates to do the same.

But two daycare workers knew the damage this would do to the rest of the kids in the classroom.

Knowing how crazy and unacceptable it is to explain transgenderism to innocent six-year-olds, the Christian childcare workers knew what they had to do.

They refused to indoctrinate the innocent children into accepting the radical transgender agenda of the Left.

And they were immediately fired as a result of their beliefs.

One of the workers, Madeline Kirksey, simply stated, "I don't think we should be talking to other people's children who are under the age of 18 about being transgender."

Kirksey even received recent praise by administrators for diligent work at her job.

It was only after she rightfully told her class not to call the little girl by a boy's name and not to call the little girl a boy, that the school wrote her up and fired her.

She believes she and her fellow coworker were fired on false infractions because they chose to protect the innocent children from transgender brainwashing.

Kirksey believes the two male homosexual "parents" of the girl are forcing her to act like a boy because the six-year-old is inconsistent.

She said sometimes the girl refers to herself as a boy and sometimes she doesn't want the other children to call her a boy.

That's why the former daycare worker informed Child Protective Services that the little girl is being told she is a little boy.

The gender insanity continues to spread across the nation.

Innocent children are being indoctrinated to question their real gender.

And any adult who dares to stand up to the radical Homosexual Lobby's latest social experiment is being bullied into silence.

Some, like Kirksey, are even being fired for standing up to the radical activists.

Unless everyday Americans like you and me also stand up, I'm afraid this will be the new "normal" in every school in the nation.

That's why I hope you sign your statement against Gender Insanity right away.

After you sign your statement, please consider chipping in $10 or $25 to help Public Advocate recruit and sound the alarm against the rise of gender insanity.

Thank you for all that you do to help Public Advocate protect Traditional Values and common sense policies.

Sincerely,

HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President,
Public Advocate of the United States


P.S. After two homosexual men cut the hair of their adopted six-year-old girl, made her wear boy's clothes and told others to call her "John," they demanded her classmates call her a boy.

And her two daycare workers were fired for protecting innocent children by refusing to submit them to transgender indoctrination.

Click here to sign your statement against Gender Insanity right away and help Public Advocate expose this radical agenda by chipping in $10 or $25.

Laura Ingraham backs Rand Paul in questioning Marco Rubio's tax credit plan.

It looks like my work exposing Senator Rubio's outlandish spending plans during Tuesday night's Republican debate was only the beginning.

This morning, talk radio host Laura Ingraham tweeted the below:

Laura Ingraham Verified account 
‏@IngrahamAngle .@RandPaul: "I think @marcorubio tax credit plan will extend more tax credits to illegal aliens; there's no way we should support this."

The more the American people learn about Big Government candidates' plans, the more they agree they stink to high heaven. We need real tax reform like 14 percent flat tax plan -- not welfare disguised as "tax credits."

We need serous foreign policy. Not one that centers around just throwing money at our problems. We need to secure our borders, not the amnesty supported by Senator Rubio and Hillary Clinton. My grassroots driven campaign is about serious reforms designed to destroy the Washington machine, not keep it growing until it bankrupts every one of us.

The critics love Rand Paul

From Rand Paul 2016:

"Rand Went on the Offensive, Reshaped the Debate And Had His Strongest Performance Yet." -- Huffington Post

"Finally the Biggest Rift in the Republican Party Has Been Exposed." -- Washington Post

"Rand Paul Shuts Down Donald Trump, Debate Moderators, and Commercial Breaks." -- Vanity Fair

"Fireworks Erupt Between Marco Rubio and Rand Paul on Military Spending" -- Business Insider

"Rand Paul Drops the Mic on Donald Trump Over China's Participation in Trade Deal" -- Los Angeles Times

"Why Rand Paul Was the Stealth Winner of the GOP Debate" -- The Week Magazine

"Rand Paul had best debate of the campaign." -- Chuck Todd

"The reviews are in and it looks like Rand Paul had a good night. Libertarians say he hit his stride. It was clearly his finest performance of the four debates." -- Matt Lewis, Daily Caller

Those are just a few headlines Americans woke up to this morning describing my performance during last night's Republican debate in Milwaukee.

The battle lines between the Big Government establishment and my campaign have now been drawn.

And for daring to point out the fact that we don't have trillions of dollars to spend on Senator Rubio's new welfare plans or pour into misguided military spending, I'm already being attacked.

That's why I'm counting on you to stand with me by giving as generously as you can to my Debate Victory Money Bomb right away!

The truth is, last night's was the Big Government establishment's worst nightmare. During the debate:

>>> I explained why income inequality is worse where Democrats are in charge and how the Federal Reserve allows the well-connected to live high on the hog while the rest of us see the value of our money slowly evaporate;

>>> I explained why we need to get rid of President Obama's outrageous environmental controls to get our economy moving, and how Hillary Clinton's misguided foreign policy is really no different than several of my opponents;

>>> I showed why my 14.5% flat-tax plan would give every American a tax cut, create jobs and return $2 TRILLION to the American people over ten years.

But exposing Senator Rubio's outlandish spending plans is really what has the Big Government establishment up in arms today.

Their big hope has been, with Senator Rubio, they'll be able to put a new face on failed old Big Government policies of the past.

Like Hillary Clinton, he's supported amnesty. Like Hillary Clinton, he's supported arming Syrian rebels, strengthening ISIS. He's supported toppling Gaddafi in Libya, which strengthened radical Islamists.

Yet, even with our nation $18.5 TRILLION in debt, no one on stage last night dared question if we can afford another two trillion dollars in Congressional spending!

That's how strong the Washington machine's grip is on so many running for our Republican party's presidential nomination.

But the fact is, we can't continue to spend like there's no tomorrow on anything.

Pretending we can only makes us less safe.

The truth is, there's no way to defend this nation from bankruptcy court.

Yet even in my own Republican Party, there are those who refuse to come to grips with our country's fiscal reality.

No one but me was willing to tell the American people the truth.

We need a new direction. We need to destroy the Washington machine that's bankrupting us.

Last night, I showed why I'm the only fiscal conservative in the race.

But I'm counting on your most generous contribution of $50, $25 or even $10 to support my Debate Victory Money Bomb.

If we can reach our $500,000 goal, I believe it will send a massive message to the media and the Big Government establishment that their days are numbered.

So please act at once.

In liberty,

Rand

Make the DEA commissioner resign over medical marijuana comments

Last week, the acting chief of the Drug Enforcement Administration called medical marijuana "a joke" during a Q&A with reporters. Now, medical marijuana patients are calling for his head, with an online petition demanding his resignation attracting over 10,000 signatures on change.org.

Here's what administrator Chuck Rosenberg said about medical marijuana, via CBS News:

"What really bothers me is the notion that marijuana is also medicinal -- because it's not," Rosenberg said in a briefing to reporters. "We can have an intellectually honest debate about whether we should legalize something that is bad and dangerous, but don't call it medicine -- that is a joke."

"There are pieces of marijuana -- extracts or constituents or component parts -- that have great promise" medicinally, he said. "But if you talk about smoking the leaf of marijuana -- which is what people are talking about when they talk about medicinal marijuana -- it has never been shown to be safe or effective as a medicine."


Rosenberg's argument that smoking marijuana "has never been shown to be safe or effective as a medicine" has been contradicted by numerous studies. A meta-analysis of 79 medical marijuana studies involving 6,462 patients, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association earlier this year, found "moderate-quality evidence to support the use of cannabinoids for the treatment of chronic pain and spasticity." There was low-quality evidence suggesting marijuana had therapeutic applications for other conditions as well.

The finding that marijuana is effective at treating chronic pain is a big deal. High-caliber prescription painkillers are highly addictive and potentially deadly when misused -- they killed over 16,000 people via overdose in 2013, according to the CDC. Numerous studies have found that at the state level, the availability of medical marijuana is associated with a significant reduction of painkiller abuse rates and overdose deaths -- presumably, as patients opt to treat their pain with marijuana rather than painkillers.

Rosenberg's statements about medical marijuana aren't surprising when you consider that they comport with the official position of the DEA. The Administration considers marijuana a "Schedule 1" controlled substance, which among other things means it has "no currently accepted medical use." Most researchers reject this claim, however, with organizations including Brookings Institution, the American Medical Association, and the ACLU arguing that the current designation is inappropriate.

Given all this, marijuana advocates are furious at what they see as the DEA's dismissal of the science behind medical pot.

"My mom is a legal patient in Rhode Island, and she uses medical marijuana to deal with the severe pain she experiences from multiple sclerosis," said Tom Angell, chairman of the group Marijuana Majority, which started the petition. "Medical cannabis is no joke to my family or the millions of other American families who have seen its real benefits."

In an e-mailed statement, a DEA spokesperson sought to clarify Rosenberg's remarks. "To clarify, Acting Administrator Rosenberg indicated that marijuana should be subject to the same levels of approval and scrutiny as any other substance intended for use as a medicine. DEA supports efforts to research potential medical uses of marijuana. To this end, DEA has never denied a registration request from anyone conducting marijuana research using FDA approved protocols."

The spokesman added, "acting Administrator Rosenberg was also clear to point out there are a number of marijuana components and/or extracts which appear to show promise as medicines, but have not yet been approved as safe and effective. His comments reflected the fact that FDA has not approved any medicinal uses for smoked marijuana."

This wouldn't be the first time Rosenberg has courted controversy over marijuana during his tenure as DEA administrator. Over the summer, he said that marijuana was "probably not" as dangerous as heroin, and then one week later clarified that "heroin is clearly more dangerous than marijuana." For the record, over 8,200 people died from heroin in 2013, compared to zero known marijuana overdose deaths.

The previous DEA chief, Michele Leonhart, had a rocky relationship with the Obama administration as well -- especially when it came to drug policy issues, which she often criticized the administration on. Leonhart left her post under a cloud of scandal earlier this year, prompting cheers from drug policy reform advocates and hopes that her successor would change the DEA's tone on certain drug policy issues.

Rand Paul opposes Marco Rubio's trillion dollar welfare program

From Rand Paul 2016:

I set off fireworks on the Republican debate stage for daring to challenge massive new spending schemes from one of my GOP opponents.

The fact is, America can't afford Senator Rubio's trillion-dollar new welfare program or another trillion dollars in misguided military spending. We just can't.

Plans like these threaten to send our country to bankruptcy court, and actually endanger our ability to defend and protect this country!

In other words, it's anything but conservative.

But it's par for the course in Washington, D.C.

And it's the reason BOTH parties have helped sink our nation $18.5 TRILLION in debt.

I know I'm going to be attacked for daring to stand up to this madness.

But I'm not backing down.

Will you please stand with me by making your most generous contribution of $50, $25 or even $10 right away?

I'm counting on you. This fight is going to get hot.

Tell Marco Rubio not to give in to the rainbow mafia

From Public Advocate:

Why has the Homosexual Lobby’s wealthiest activist just thrown his money behind Senator Marco Rubio for President?

Billionaire Paul Singer has a long track record of trying to buy support for the radical Homosexual Agenda among Republican politicians.

He believes he can pay the GOP to delete Real Marriage and Family Values from the Party platform.

Just last year, he went head-to-head with your Public Advocate -- pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into the pacts of key state representatives.

These payments were made explicitly for their support of the Michigan Gay Bill of Special Rights.

In 2012, Singer’s pro-homosexual PAC spent a fortune endorsing radical candidates and anti-marriage referendums in key battleground states.

And before that, Singer paid out over a million dollars bribing state-level Republican representatives in New York for their support of homosexual “marriage.”

While his dirty tactics worked in New York, Public Advocate crushed his agenda at every point in Michigan.

His bought-and-paid-for allies were run out of office, his favored candidates lost against pro-Family contenders, and his Gay Bill of Special Rights died without any further action.

But I knew that wouldn’t stop him for long.

Paul Singer only gives his support and his funds for one purpose: the advancement of homosexual “marriage” and specialized rights for homosexuals and transsexuals.

Which begs the question, why is Singer in league with Republican Marco Rubio?

Rubio’s campaign has already publicly embraced Singer's support.

And the New York Times reports that Rubio is desperately in need of campaign funding -- which will only make Singer’s influence all the greater.

Rubio spokesman Alex Conant welcomed the support, noting that the campaign has “a lot of work to do before Marco wins the nomination, but clearly this moves us in the right direction."

Does Senator Rubio plan to endorse the Homosexual Agenda?

Or will he stand up for Real Marriage and Family Values by rejecting Paul Singer and his dirty millions?

Just weeks ago, Public Advocate asked every candidate -- Republican and Democrat -- to show their commitment to Religious Liberty by supporting Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis.

It is unacceptable for Marco Rubio to respond to this request by joining forces with the Homosexual Lobby in their quest to restrict religious freedoms.

Is Paul Singer using his deep pockets to move the campaign away from traditional family values?

That’s what I need you to write Marco Rubio and ask.

Email: contact@marcorubio.com

Ask Senator Marco Rubio why he is in league with the radical Homosexual Lobby and their wealthiest backer Paul Singer.

For the Family,

HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.

National Right To Work Committee rates the Presidential Candidates

From The National Right To Work Committee:

What if you found out Donald Trump or Ben Carson refused to support the National Right to Work Act?

How about Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio? Or Jeb Bush?

It's hard to believe any politician would oppose the 80% of Americans who support ending forced-unionism.

But Big Labor's claws dig deep -- on both sides of the aisle.

That's why the our 2016 Presidential Survey program is so important.

As you know, I've mailed surveys to every 2016 presidential candidate asking each one to go on record FOR or AGAINST the forced-dues agenda, including whether or not they support the National Right to Work Act.

And I'm launching a TV ad blitz in the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina ensuring no candidate for president thinks they can ignore the Right to Work issue.

But to run our TV ad blitz, you and I need to raise $50,000 by this Thursday, November 12th.

I'll send you a copy of the TV ad for you to see as soon as it's ready, but for now can I count on you to chip in $10, $25, or $50 towards our goal?

Sincerely,

Greg

There are a lot of similarities between Hillary Clinton and her GOP opponents

From Rand Paul 2016:

I was talking with my wife Kelley this morning and we were discussing the past week on the campaign trail, and the upcoming debate.

She thought I should send a note to my supporters with the same points that I was making to her. She thought you needed to hear it straight from me before before this critical debate. So I penned this note this afternoon and wanted to get it to you right away. I hope you agree with this approach. More updates to come later!

Last week was a big week on the campaign.

The Senate passed in the dead of night a bill to raid social security and add trillions to our debt - they gave President Obama a blank check, and hardly even debated the topic. I stood up on the floor at 3am and protested.

I might have been a bit fired up, as you saw if you watched the speech.

With your help, and the help of Senator Mike Lee, 25 million people watched the video. It went viral and Americans took notice.

Next, I went to the Democrat debate in South Carolina and challenged Hillary Clinton head on for being a NeoCon. She shares the positions on foreign policy of Marco Rubio, John McCain, and Lindsey Graham.

After watching the Democrats debate, it became clear there really isn’t much difference between Hillary Clinton and some of the Republican candidates on the key issues.

•Hillary Clinton wants Amnesty. Marco Rubio partnered with Chuck Schumer to try and pass Amnesty.
•Hillary Clinton agrees with Marco Rubio that we should have American boots on the ground in the Middle East. They both supported the Iraq War, support a no fly zone over Syria that could lead to war with Russia, supported failed policies in Libya, etc. They both support foreign aid to the Muslim brotherhood. There is virtually no substantive difference between them on foreign policy.
•Hillary Clinton supports Obamatrade. Again, most of the Republican candidates, including Marco Rubio, agree with her on that. They want to give President Obama more authority, and trust him to use it correctly.

There is virtually no difference between Hillary Clinton and several other Republican candidates on some of the biggest issues of the campaign. How can you beat Hillary Clinton if you agree with her policies?

The debate is tomorrow night and we are down to just 8 candidates on that stage.

It is by far the most important debate of the campaign.

And now rather than talk about Ben Carson’s college applications, or Marco Rubio’s credit card scandal, we can talk about the real issues facing our country.

•No American boots on the ground in the Middle East.
•A fairer, flatter tax to replace the tax code.
•Audit the fed to provide real confidence in our money.
•No Amnesty. Not now, not ever.

We each get more time to speak because only 8 candidates will be on the stage….this means more time to discuss the issues that truly matter. And I trust Fox Business will do a better job staying on the issues than CNBC.

I am going to "paint in bold colors, not pale pastels."

And I am going to hold these Republican candidates accountable for being Hillary-lite on the critical issues of our day.

If you agree with this approach, I hope you will join me by making a contribution to the campaign. Together, we will take our country back.

Sincerely,

Rand Paul

Help defeat TPP

From Demand Progress:

The final text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was finally was released to the public yesterday, and it's every bit as awful as we feared—if not worse.1

Now the clock starts ticking on the 90-day window for President Obama to sign the deal, and we're launching a major push to stop this awful corporate giveaway. Will you help support our campaign?

Yes, I'll donate to help fund an emergency campaign to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

If ratified, the TPP will sneak in SOPA-like attacks on Internet freedom, overturn protections against Wall Street recklessness, and allow corporations to sue sovereign nations to overturn the decisions of democratically elected officials.2

But there is already a major bipartisan backlash to the deal, and if we act fast we have a real chance to stop it.

Already, several Democratic and Republican presidential candidates have come out against the deal.3 A powerful coalition of labor, environmental, and Internet freedom organizations are leading the charge.

But we don't have much time to build the grassroots movement we need to stop the TPP. The deal was completed behind closed doors in secret a full month ago. That means that corporations and their political allies have had a huge head start lobbying for the deal.

Will you help fund our emergency campaign to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership?

The first thing we need to do is comb through the details of the final agreement to identify the most outrageous corporate giveaways and impacts on Internet users. The text is 30 chapters long and 2,700 pages, so that's no small task.

Then we'll need to launch a public education campaign, using our savvy social media strategies to get around the corporate media and warn voters directly.

The next 90 days will be a furious lobbying push, with corporations spending millions in favor of the TPP. It's going to take everything we have to stop it. Will you become a contributor?

Yes, I'll donate to help stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Thanks for standing with us.

Help support Audit The Fed

From Campaign For Liberty:

You and I are on the verge of making history.

But the outcome of our efforts may hinge on the action you choose to take today.

As I informed you last week, my son, Senator Rand Paul, recently reintroduced Audit the Fed and used a procedural maneuver to put us one step closer to finally getting a vote on my signature bill.

This step was necessary to escape the Senate Banking Committee's stranglehold on Audit the Fed, placed there by an unholy alliance of Fed apologists like Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bob Corker (R-TN).

After taking these steps, you and I are closer than ever to finally forcing the Senate to vote on this historic legislation.

That will be the moment of truth:

Do your senators stand with the American people, in support of Fed transparency and sound money?

Or, do your senators stand with Wall Street and the banksters in support of continued Fed secrecy?

Unfortunately, I'm afraid there isn't much time to act to gin up the support necessary to pass my Audit the Fed bill.

Last week, I asked for your help generating petitions to the Senate.

Over the weekend, and two days ahead of schedule, we blew past our goal of collecting 50,000 fax petitions!

But your signed petitions are only one part of our massive grassroots mobilization plan.

And we still have a long way to go to reach our fundraising goal of $50,000.

I need your financial support immediately so C4L staff can launch ads across the country targeting weak-kneed senators.

Can I count on your most generous contribution of $30 today?

I know that's a tremendous amount to ask for.

But organizing a grassroots effort to expose the most secretive institution in Washington, D.C. isn't going to be cheap, or easy.

So if $30 is simply too much, can I count on you for a generous contribution of $20 or at least $10 right now?

If the funds are available, Campaign for Liberty will:

• Flood the Senate with petitions, faxes, and phone calls in support of Audit the Fed;

• Run Internet ads (like the ones below) on popular sites targeting Senators like Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Jeff Flake, and Bernie Sanders who have all supported Audit the Fed in the past but are AWOL this Congress;

• And produce hard-hitting TV and radio ads targeting fence-sitting Senators to alert even more Americans about the upcoming vote.

Given the short time frame you and I are working in, we need to raise the funds to begin implementing this program immediately.

That's why I'm counting on your generous financial support today.

Even though polling consistently shows Audit the Fed is supported by nearly 75 percent of the American people, getting this bill through the Senate will take a major effort.

You and I can be sure the Federal Reserve - along with their cronies on Wall Street, K Street, and Capitol Hill - are already launching an all-out assault against my bill.

These powerful special interests are desperate to keep the American people in the dark about how the Fed enriches economic elites, feeds the growth of Big Government, impoverishes the middle-class, and punishes savers and those on fixed incomes through the hidden tax of inflation.

Janet Yellen and her statist allies are also desperate to keep agreements the Federal Reserve has made with foreign central banks and institutions like the International Monetary Fund to prop up failing governments shrouded in secrecy.

And they're also desperate to keep people from knowing the full truth about how the Fed really views the economy.

Make no mistake, the Fed is terrified of the backlash it may face if Americans discovered the true state of our fragile economy.

Even her fellow Fed officials don't believe Yellen's positive outlook on our current situation.

The only thing that can overcome the Fed, the banksters, and the rest of the special interests is public pressure from concerned Americans like you!

That's why Campaign for Liberty is launching a massive grassroots mobilization effort to overcome opponents of Fed transparency and finally PASS my Audit the Fed bill.

But I simply can't do it without your immediate financial support.

Exposing the Fed has been a major focus of my entire political career.

In fact, it was my concern over the need to alert the American people to the dangers of our monetary policy that inspired me to run for Congress in the first place.

The bursting of the Fed-created housing bubble and the Great Recession of 2008, combined with the growing popularity of the ideas of liberty, has led more Americans than ever to demand full transparency at the Federal Reserve.

Many Americans are finally aware of the role the Fed plays in promoting the boom-bust economic cycles, crony capitalism, and big government - both here and abroad.

And since its founding, Campaign for Liberty has mobilized these Americans in order to force Congress to act on the people's demands for an end to the Fed's secretive monetary policy.

Will you please make your most generous contribution in support of these efforts of $30 , $20 , or at least $10 today?

I know I've asked a lot of you recently, but this opportunity to force every Senator to publicly choose between standing with the Federal Reserve, banksters, and Wall Street, or with the nearly 75 percent of Americans who support Audit the Fed presents us with a win/win situation.

If Audit the Fed passes, it will surely pass in the House, where Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) is already spearheading that effort with 185 cosponsors, before heading to President Obama's desk forcing him to decide whether to sign or veto it...

And if our efforts fail in the Senate, the American people will know exactly who to blame.

Either way, you and I will make Audit the Fed a major issue heading in to the 2016 elections.

But our time is short, so please make your most generous contribution today.

I'm counting on supporters like you to help me finally pass my Audit the Fed bill.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. My son, Senator Rand Paul has just reintroduced Audit the Fed and is using a procedural maneuver to bypass the stranglehold placed on it in the Senate Banking Committee and finally bring it to the floor for a vote.

But in order to force the Senate to vote on and pass my Audit the Fed bill, Rand needs our help.

That's why Campaign for Liberty is launching into a massive grassroots mobilization program to crank up the heat on the Senate, including targeted emails, Internet ads, hard-hitting op-eds, and (if the resources are available) TV and radio ads.

Time is short so I'm counting on your generous financial support of $30 , $20 , or $10 today!

Rand Paul compares Marco Rubio to Hillary Clinton

From Rand Paul 2016:

I sent a personal note this afternoon that seems to have gotten some attention.
The establishment was surprised that I compared Marco Rubio to Hillary Clinton.

Other candidates may want to talk about Marco Rubio’s use of the Florida Republican Party credit card. I think we should stay focused on the issues. And on the issues there are far too many similarities between Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton.

The fact is that Rubio teamed up with liberals on immigration. He worked with the Hillary wing of the Democratic party -- Senators Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid -- to introduce what has become a forgotten piece of terrible legislation: the “Gang of 8” amnesty bill.

The fact is that Rubio agrees with Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Lindsey Graham on putting American boots on the ground in the Middle East, and other foreign policy issues including Obama and Hillary's destabilizing wars in Libya and Syria. He may use rhetoric that challenges her, but substantively they stand together.

Click here to show your support of my campaign by donating $25 instantly.

The media - including the debate moderators - haven’t held Rubio accountable for his past support for Amnesty, or compared his foreign policy positions to Hillary Clinton. But we are going to continue to hold him accountable. These issues matter to the American people, they matter to the cause of Liberty, and we are going to need to ‘paint with bold colors, not pale pastels’ if we intend to defeat Hillary Clinton in November.
I hope you will join me.
Are you with me?
In liberty,
Rand
