Establishment persecutes Congressman Thomas Massie

From Congressman Thomas Massie:

It’s happening.

The Establishment is targeting Liberty candidates in Republican primaries across the country.

I’m at the very top of their list to take out.

I want to keep pushing the envelope in Washington, D.C. But without your support today, I’m afraid I’m going to be a sitting duck.

Whatever their reason is, the establishment has put me squarely within their crosshairs.

But why? After only a year in Congress, why?

Well, maybe it’s because I won’t fall in line. Maybe it’s because I’m fighting to represent YOU.

Maybe it’s because at every turn, I’m fighting to preserve our freedoms instead of preserve the political status quo.

Maybe they’re mad because . . .


*** I stood with my good friend, and fellow Kentuckian, Senator Rand Paul on the floor of the Senate in the wee hours of the night during his filibuster protesting the use of domestic drones, and I cosponsored legislation in the House to ban domestic drones.

***I loudly stood up against domestic NSA spying, forcing the U.S. House to vote on legislation to stop this madness.

***I introduced my first bill HR 133, in January to repeal unconstitutional Gun Free School Zones.

***I voted “NAY” both times they suspended the debt ceiling.

***I turned down the Congressional pension and taxpayer-funded health benefits when I came to Congress making my colleagues look bad. I’ve also cosponsored legislation to strip the exemptions to Obamacare that the president granted all Congressmen and Senators. They’d love to keep living comfortably above the law instead of within it.

***I was endorsed by Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Justin Amash, and Mike Lee in my 2012 Republican primary bid when I upset the establishment’s handpicked candidate who gave up her State House seat in what was supposed to be her “coronation” to the U.S. House.

***Their lobbyists pushed the Internet Tax through the Senate, and I quickly took to the floor of the House to lead a thirty-minute speech to kill momentum for the bill in the House of Representatives. Within minutes of my speech, lobbyists were banging on my door literally promising to fund my opponents.


I’ve been profiled as someone who doesn’t go along to get along.

I’ve been ID’ed as someone the establishment would like to eliminate once and for all from Congress.

And now it’s public: A profile of my victories in my sometimes lonely battle for liberty was recently on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

Although the article was positive, it has raised my profile and now I’m a target for big government Republicans to eliminate in my next primary race.

Liberty candidates now have a toehold in the House and the Senate, but we desperately need to grow our numbers.

Ron Paul was the only one for decades. As a result, our nation is mired in $17 TRILLION in debt!

What we need is more men and women who are willing to fight the status quo.

I’m willing to. I’ve proven that.

If I don’t return to Congress, I’ll be fine.

I’ll come back to my farm in Kentucky with my wife and four children.

But I’m worried for our country.

That’s why I want to stay and keep fighting the machine in Washington.

I want to be there on January 3rd, 2015 when the new freshmen are sworn in . . . to offer them a hand . . . to show them how to fight against almost impossible odds . . . and to show them how to BEAT the establishment.

We can’t let the establishment extinguish our flame of liberty.

Can you contribute $100 to this cause? What about $50 or $20?

If you can do more, I’d really appreciate it.

I can tell you my opponent will have lobbyists and big business cronies to write big checks.

I’m not asking for big checks, but I’m relying on you and thousands of other grassroots patriots to give something.

It all adds up, and this is how we beat them.

Some say I wouldn’t have to worry about my re-election if I hadn’t stood up to the establishment at every turn.

But I say why come to Washington DC, if you’re not going to fight?

Maybe you didn’t know about me in my first race, but fortunately for me the opposition’s donors didn’t know I would be such a fierce defender of liberty.

It’s different now: they know that I am unafraid and they are motivated by fear . . . fear that I can and will upset the status quo.

I hope I’ve earned your trust by now, because we have to match them dollar for dollar if I am going to return to Washington and keep up the fight.

So please agree to your most generous contribution of $100, $50 or even $20 today.

Sincerely,

Thomas Massie
