Good news from Campaign For Liberty

From Campaign For Liberty:

As I've mentioned to you previously, Campaign for Liberty is growing fast and making great strides to advance freedom. To show you just a few of these success stories, I've had Campaign for Liberty staff contact our state coordinators for updates on some of the battles they've been fighting and some of their victories.

You'll be pleased to know that C4L supporters are having tremendous success, and our state groups are adding new members every day.

Reports are still coming in, but below is an overview of some of Campaign for Liberty supporters' recent successes.

MASSACHUSETTS

Leah Cole, a nurse and young supporter of yours, won the March 5 Special Primary Election for the Massachusetts General Court.

Leah now has an excellent opportunity to win the General Election on April 2nd and head to Beacon Hill.

As I'm sure you recall, your supporters won a number of Massachusetts' National Convention delegates, and even though your campaign has ended, they clearly haven't stopped fighting for liberty.

NORTH CAROLINA

Campaign for Liberty supporters in North Carolina have been busy fighting two major battles this year.

The first battle was to stop the Medicaid expansion called for under ObamaCare.

Last year, former Democrat Governor Bev Perdue accepted federal grant money in exchange for setting up a state and federal Medicaid exchange program.

But North Carolinians elected Republican Pat McCrory in November.

McCrory didn't speak out about Medicaid expansion on his campaign, so Campaign for Liberty supporters immediately began using email, faxes, petitions, and postcards to mobilize on this issue.

After some back and forth about whether ObamaCare was the "law of the land," and a public exchange between the House Speaker and North Carolina C4L State Coordinator Adam Love, McCrory came out against the Medicaid expansion, and the State Legislature passed a bill to opt-out of the Medicaid expansion and a health insurance exchange.

Governor McCrory signed the bill into law.

A second fight has been waged against an effort by the NFL's Carolina Panthers to secure a taxpayer subsidy to renovate Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.

The Panthers originally asked for $62.5 million in taxpayer money - paid for by an increase in Charlotte's Prepared Food and Beverage Tax.

Campaign for Liberty supporters sent emails and made phone calls to the North Carolina House Speaker and Senate President Pro Tem urging them not to hike taxes to fund the Panther's renovation.

Not long after, Governor McCrory issued a statement saying state money was a no-go, and State Representatives from the Charlotte area said tax hikes were off the table.

Instead, they put forward legislation to authorize the Charlotte City Council to re-purpose local tax money to the Panthers.

C4L supporters are currently fighting that bill.

DELAWARE

Since the year 2000, the Appoquinimink School District has literally gotten away with virtually any tax hike or spending increase they wanted. This year, the School District put forth a referendum to increase taxes.

The last time there was a referendum to hike taxes, it passed by a vote of 2,229 to 409.

But thanks to the hard work of C4L supporters, this year was different.

C4L state leaders ran pre-recorded phone calls to 7,300 targeted voters letting them know their property taxes were about to increase by $23 million - more than 24%.

A record 8,934 people showed up at the polls, and the tax hike was defeated 4,633 to 3,301.

GEORGIA

Charlie Gregory, Georgia State Coordinator for your Presidential Campaign, got elected to the State House and has been leading the fight for liberty in the General Assembly.

Despite threats and intimidation from the establishment, Charlie hasn't backed down and is fighting hard to protect liberty.

Because Representative Gregory voted against one of their gun-control schemes, I've been told the establishment is withholding funds from his district as "punishment" for opposing gun control.

The good news is, C4L supporter David Stover won a recent special election for State House in Georgia, so Charlie is no longer the lone voice fighting for constitutional government.

Georgia also held their Republican County Conventions last week to elect delegates to the upcoming District and State Conventions.

Numerous Campaign for Liberty supporters were elected as delegates to both the State and District Conventions, and many even got elected to positions within the Party.

Here's a brief summary of some of their successes.

In Coweta, the third largest GOP in the state, C4L dominated, taking both the Chair and the Vice Chair positions. In Warner Robbins (Houston County), the stronghold of the 8th District, C4L supporters won the majority of delegates.

In Fayette County, C4L folks swept all leadership positions within the County Party. In Bibb County, C4L folks made gains and got a resolution passed demanding passage of Charlie Gregory's HB 26 - the Georgia Constitutional Carry Act.

And in Dekalb, C4L supporters defeated a massive property tax increase.

IOWA

Friends of liberty have made tremendous strides in the "First in the Nation" state of Iowa in getting elected or reelected to major offices within the state Republican Party.

A former high-ranking officer of the Iowa GOP went on record talking about how many people "from the Campaign for Liberty" have taken over prominent positions, and that comment came before their latest election, when one of your supporters was elected as co-chair of the Iowa GOP!

Members of our movement now hold the chair, co-chair, Executive Director, Organization Director, and Finance Chair positions in the Iowa GOP.

MISSOURI

In Missouri - the largest caucus state in the nation - grassroots liberty activists mobilized and successfully elected an anti-establishment candidate as Chairman of the Missouri Republican Party, beating Senator Roy Blunt's hand-picked candidate.

NEVADA

In Nevada, liberty-minded Republicans gained control of the majority of the state and municipal party leadership.

MAINE

In Maine, Washington State, and many other states and localities across the country, the same holds true, as liberty-minded activists are getting elected to positions of party leadership.

OTHER STATES

Colorado C4L supporters fought hard and got protection from Indefinite Detention out of Committee, but, unfortunately, they lost by one vote on the floor. However, they have a great base to build on for future success on this issue.

In Maryland, C4L supporters defeated a red-light camera bill.

Conclusion

The American people are FED UP with the Big Government, big spending status quo in Washington.

Our liberty movement has never been so strong.

And Campaign for Liberty is just getting started.

I'll update you on more developments in the coming weeks.

Good news indeed. If the statists want somewhere to play their games look outside of the USA. Better yet they should just go to some deserted island somewhere.
