From Rand 2016:
The media's labeled Senator Paul the Democrats #1 enemy because our movement is their biggest threat.
And with the December 31st reporting deadline just 4 days away, the liberal press is desperate to puncture holes in our momentum.
Coming off historic victories in the midterm elections, they are hoping to blast out headlines that Senator Paul fell short and the Democrats are prepped for victory in 2016.
That's why it's vital Senator Paul count on your immediate support to help him raise $125,000 before the December 31st deadline.
So please chip in a contribution below and send a message that conservatives are ready to fight in 2015 and win in 2016.
In Liberty,
The Team at Rand 2016
There is also a ballot on that website too asking which direction you want the country to go. If you are tired of the anti-civil liberties attitude of the statists this is your chance to stand up to them and let them know they can no longer trample on your civil liberties. Let them know you're taking your country back.

Help to keep Hillary out of the White House
From Stop Hillary PAC:
I need your help -- I have big decisions to make, and I cannot make the right ones without you.
There are less than 5 days left before our final FEC deadline...
And the November elections proved that the American people are sick of socialist, Big Government policies...BUT now we're at even greater risk as liberal media darling Hillary Clinton silently builds the most expensive and expansive campaign we've seen yet.
Hillary has yet to announce her run for president, but it's clearly coming:
>>>MSNBC: Hillary Clinton is millionaires' top choice in 2016
>>>Washington Post: Hillary's 2008 lead was never as big as her 2016 one is
>>>Clinton Adviser: "She is expected to begin preparation for a campaign over the next two months."
But for you and me -- her run has already begun.
And that's why we launched the "Hillary Announcement FUND" and must raise $200,000 before we close the books on 2014.
*I need your immediate contribution of $5, $25, or more if we're going to keep Hillary out of the White House in 2016.* We have less than 5 days until the final FEC deadline before she announces, and every penny counts.
Our movement is the only thing between Hillary and the presidency. Before she announces, we must lay the groundwork and fund our opposition to prevent Hillary Clinton from destroying our nation.
That's why it's crucial you help me reach the "Hillary Announcement FUND" goal of $200,000 before the December 31st deadline.
The Hillary backers and the media both know a big fundraising quarter for our movement combined with the strong November election results will make it impossible for them to ignore the fact that Hillary's days are numbered even before her 2015 announcement.
We have less than 5 days to our FEC deadline, and every moment counts!
You see, without the grassroots backing from patriotic Americans from all over the country, our best-laid plans are nothing but words on paper, and the upcoming December 31st reporting deadline is absolutely critical.
That's why I'm turning to you for help:
The national media wants to know if our momentum is real...that's why they're waiting with bated breath to see the results of our next financial report.
Please, I need to hear from you. It's important that you respond right away to ensure we have the plan to defeat Hillary fully funded before Dec. 31st.
Sincerely,
Senator Ted Harvey (R)

Tell Campaign For LIberty what issues matter to you
From Campaign For Liberty:
We're only a couple of weeks away from the start of a brand-new Congress.
For the Big Government establishment, though, it's business as usual.
With the campaign spotlight off the politicians, many may succumb to the establishment's demands for “bipartisan” compromises that grow Big Government - unless you and I remain vigilant.
But we also have huge opportunities to advance issues including Fed transparency and reining in the national surveillance state.
As we look ahead to the 114th Congress, I hope you'll take just a few minutes to read the email below from my father, Ron Paul, regarding Campaign for Liberty's priorities in 2015.
C4L has made major progress on core issues in just a few years thanks to their dedicated members.
With your and your fellow activists' continued action, I'm confident we can restore constitutional, limited government.
In Liberty,

Support Rand Paul in 2016
From Rand 2016:
Can you and I keep the momentum going?
I hate to be this blunt.
But with two important dates right around the corner, I'm counting on your action today.
FIRST, the December 31st Fourth Quarter Fundraising Deadline is rapidly approaching.
I know I've already been labeled "Democrats' Enemy #1."
But a big fundraising quarter for me will help prove to our national media and members of BOTH parties that the sky is the limit for you and me in 2015 and beyond.
It will help prove that our shared movement for liberty and limited government – the movement Democrats fear most – is only growing!
With many folks already turning their focus to 2016, that's bad news for Big Government Democrats!
SECOND, on January 3rd, 2015, the new Congress is sworn in. Senator Harry Reid will be officially out as Senate Majority Leader.
If our Republican Party is serious about winning in 2016, we simply must deliver.
That means cutting spending, repealing ObamaCare, reining in NSA spying, and standing up to President Obama's abuses of power – like his recent Executive Amnesty scheme.
Make no mistake November 2014 was just the beginning.
With these two extremely important dates ahead of us, I'm counting on you to stand with me once again.
Will you please fill out your Republican Roadmap at once and agree to your most generous contribution IMMEDIATELY?
Please chip in whatever you can.
Your support today will make all the difference.

Contribute to keep Hillary out of the White House
From Stop Hillary PAC:

*I need your immediate contribution of $5, $25, or more if we're going to keep Hillary out of the White House in 2016.* We have less than 8 days until the end of year deadline, and every penny counts.
Our movement is the only thing between Hillary and the presidency. Before she announces, we must lay the groundwork and fund our opposition to prevent Hillary Clinton from destroying our nation.
Charting a new course to restore the time-tested principles of liberty and limited government in America all starts with defeating Hillary.
But unlike the political elite and the PACs in Washington, D.C., I understand this depends on you -- especially with the December 31st financial reporting deadline rapidly approaching.
That's why it's crucial you help me reach the "Hillary Announcement FUND" goal of $200,000 before the December 31st deadline.
Ahead of Hillary's impending announcement, reporters are already trying to prop her campaign up.
They know President Obama is a lame duck, and that Hillary is their next big meal ticket. They will protect her image at all costs.
The Hillary backers and the media both know a big fundraising quarter for our movement combined with the strong November election results will make it impossible for them to ignore the fact that Hillary's days are numbered even before her 2015 announcement.
That's why I must ask for your immediate support. Will you make an immediate contribution of $5, $25, or more to keep Hillary out of the White House in 2016?
We have less than 8 days to the end-of-year deadline, and every moment counts!
For the last week, I've been in a series of meetings with my closest advisors and activists in the Stop Hillary moment to examine the challenges and big decisions that lie ahead in 2015.
Democrats haven't wasted any time rallying support for Hillary. They fear what her loss could mean for them in 2016, and they are willing to fight tooth and nail to elect her.
So this depends on you.
Here's the framework of our plan to defeat Hillary:
• The moment she announces -- deploy a social media blitz with the facts the media has already white-washed.
• Within 24 hours -- launch a wave of digital advertising targeted at voters who haven't made up their minds and are persuadable.
• Within 48 hours -- set a grassroots action tour to follow Hillary's every move, and engage the grassroots movement responsible for both the 2010 and 2014 election waves.
• Within a week -- confirm buys for hard hitting TV and radio ads to targeted markets in the key primary and caucus states.
• Within two weeks-- release targeted direct mail to swing precincts across the country.
The price tag for this kind of operation is big, but that is what it will take to defeat such an entrenched and popularized enemy.
You see, without the grassroots backing from patriotic Americans from all over the country, our best-laid plans are nothing but words on paper.
So, I'm counting on you to make a contribution of $5, $25, or more to the "Hillary Announcement FUND" BEOFRE Dec. 31st to help us reach our goal of raising $200,000.
The upcoming December 31st reporting deadline is absolutely critical.
If you believe Hillary must be held accountable for her actions -- and inactions -- then please click below and make an immediate, emergency contribution to help us hold Hillary accountable:
Or donate another amount.
The national media wants to know if our momentum is real...that's why they're waiting with bated breath to see the results of our next financial report.

FEC wants to destroy the will of the people
From the Tea Party:
As the President’s lawless actions on amnesty and Obamacare continue, it’s important for us to stay engaged and hold this Administration accountable. I write today about the latest attempt at government overreach, and what you can do about it.
Very quietly in late October, the Democrat members of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) proposed new regulations that would bring free YouTube videos, bloggers, and even sites like The Drudge Report under government control. This attempt to chill free speech is alarming. As U.S. News & World Report said, Democrat FEC members envision an “Establishment utopia, with only politicians, political parties and the media able to comment purposefully.”
TPP has set up a special page, to "Keep the Internet Free of the FEC.” The public comment period for these new regulations ends Jan. 15, and you can link from our page directly to the comment site.
It is critical that we all make our voices heard and stand up to this latest attempt at government intrusion into our personal freedoms. The Bill of Rights is worthy of protection, even if President Obama’s liberal allies on the FEC want to trample on it.
Please take a few moments and visit our page dedicated to keeping the FEC's hands off the Internet, and register your opposition to this new assault on freedom. Finally, please forward this to your friends and family and ask them to help us keep the Internet free!

Replace John Boehner as speaker
From the Tea Party:
This is an emergency.
Without another 10,000 signatures by midnight, we face being stuck with Boehner as Speaker...and unless our records are wrong -- you haven't signed.
Follow this link to sign your petition now, and help us reach our goal before midnight.
Boehner has never won a battle with the White House or the Senate...
And now that he's betrayed us and wasted conservative gains from the 2014 election, **it is more critical than ever that we replace Boehner with conservative Trey Gowdy as Speaker of the House.
It's time for Boehner to go, and for a true conservative to replace him.

Provide the direction for Campaign For Liberty
From Campaign For Liberty:
Recently, Campaign for Liberty President John Tate and I went over the results of the November elections and looked ahead to Campaign for Liberty's strategy for the upcoming year.
This may have been the most important meeting I’ve ever held as Chairman of Campaign for Liberty.
Right now, you and I are facing the biggest test – and perhaps the greatest opportunity - our liberty movement has seen yet.
That’s why, as you’ll see, We’ve created a special Campaign for Liberty Membership Ballot just for you.
I'll give you the link to fill out your Membership Ballot for 2015 in just a moment, but let me first explain exactly what's at stake.
I’ll be blunt. I need your advice – and I need it right away.
There’s no doubt the American people have soundly rejected the Big Government policies you and I have seen coming out of Washington, D.C. over the past several years.
Now, will newly elected members of Congress deliver on their promises?
Or will they hand us more of the same Big Government schemes we’ve seen from BOTH parties?
I believe your action today will go a long way toward deciding the answers to those questions.
But the truth is, without an IMMEDIATE influx of funds, I’m afraid Campaign for Liberty could be forced to cut back on our most critical programs – including fights we could win – before the new Congress is even sworn in!
I can’t begin to explain what a DISASTER this would be - especially with so many new liberty leaders elected.
You see, my hope is Senator-elect Steve Daines (R-MT) will join proven heroes such as Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee in the U.S. Senate, and Congressmen-elect Alex Mooney (R-WV) and Rod Blum (R-IA) will join with Congressmen Thomas Massie and Justin Amash in the U.S. House!
But today, I need you to use your Membership Ballot to tell me where Campaign for Liberty should focus its resources for the upcoming Congress.
There’s no doubt the biggest development for you and me in the 2014 election was Senator Harry Reid being FIRED as the U.S. Senate’s Majority Leader.
During his tenure as Majority Leader, Senator Reid has flat-out REFUSED to allow a vote on Audit the Fed – even after it passed the U.S. House with HUGE bipartisan majorities in both 2012 and 2014.
With polls showing nearly 75% of the American people supporting Fed transparency, I warned this amounted to nothing less than political suicide.
Senator Reid finally paid a price in 2014, and as a result, even The Wall Street Journal is saying, “GOP Senate Takeover Puts Fed on Hot Seat”!
That’s why you and I must start mobilizing a tidal wave of pressure on the U.S. Senate right from the start of the 114th Congress.
By passing Audit the Fed, we can show the American people that the Federal Reserve System leads to:
*** Ever-expanding Big Government boondoggles like “ObamaCare.”
Now that politicians have figured out the Fed will just print money out of thin air to pay the bills if taxing and borrowing can’t make ends meet, the floodgates are wide open for even more of the statists’ utopian plans;
*** Constant economic crises.
The housing crisis and the resulting chaos is just one example of an economic bubble created by centrally planned interest rates and money manipulation;
*** The destruction of the middle class.
As fuel, food, housing, medical care, and education costs soar, everyone who is NOT on the government dole is forced to make do with less as the value of their money sinks;
*** Currency destruction.
History shows us that riots, violence, and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize their money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and REFUSE to accept it.
Just forcing a vote puts you and me in a win/win situation.
Either Congress passes Audit the Fed, or those who vote against it will pay the price in the next election.
Not only that, but our all-out mobilization efforts can help force the Federal Reserve issue to the forefront of the 2016 presidential campaign!
If you believe exposing the Federal Reserve is where Campaign for Liberty should focus our resources, please check AUDIT THE FED on your Membership Ballot.
But before you do, please consider what else is at stake – such as our nation’s growing debt, which is now approaching $18 TRILLION!
The truth is nothing scares me more than watching Washington, D.C. continue to spend like there’s no tomorrow.
Because of BOTH parties’ addiction to spending, now every American taxpayer is on the hook for thousands of dollars more ON TOP of their regular tax bills!
All this debt creates new pressure on the Fed to create more money to pay the bills, resulting in our currency becoming worth less and less . . .
This cycle can’t go on forever. If you and I don’t right the ship, I’m afraid every last shred of American wealth will be wiped out as the Federal Reserve and big-spending politicians finish destroying what’s left of our economy.
That means FORCING Congress to cut spending. This is always the first place new members of Congress break their campaign promises.
Instead of cutting spending, they look for new ways to tax and regulate us – like they’re doing with the Internet right now!
That’s why it’s up to you and me to ensure they don’t get away with betraying us this time.
So if you think reining in government waste should be our number-one priority, please select CUT SPENDING on your Campaign for Liberty Membership Ballot.
But before you do, please consider what’s at stake with President Obama’s out-of-control government spying.
As I’ve warned about for decades, last year, we learned the NSA is busy gathering audio, video, email, photographic, and Internet search usage of ALL Americans who use major services such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Yahoo.
In one 30-day period, the NSA collected three BILLION pieces of “intelligence” from U.S. computer networks!
The “Stasi” – the East German Communist secret police of decades past – could only wish to be so efficient in their record-keeping on “problem citizens.”
Back then, our federal government decried those tactics as “Orwellian.” Now it’s adopting them, and the statists simply tell you and me to “trust” them!
How can we after they’ve lied to us time and again, sunk our nation into massive debt, and used the IRS to target political opponents?
I know they say it’s all “for security.”
Well, there’s no security like prison walls. And I’m afraid that’s exactly what we’re seeing being built around us every day.
So if you think reining in the out-of-control NSA should be our top priority, please select END GOVERNMENT SPYING on your Membership Ballot.
But don’t forget about ObamaCare. As a former OB-GYN, I want so badly to wipe this outrageous scheme off the books!
But I know the longer it remains in place, the longer it will take to repeal.
The good news is the American people are FED UP with the higher taxes and fees, the poorer quality health care, cancelled policies, and skyrocketing premiums.
During the election season, you and I heard a lot of talk about repealing ObamaCare.
Now, it’s time for Congress to deliver.
That’s why I believe Congress should pass the End the Mandate bill I introduced back in 2010. Under this legislation, the federal mandate to buy health insurance is simply repealed.
Force is the basis of all statist schemes. And without this mandate, all of ObamaCare unravels.
So if you think this should be our top priority, please select END THE MANDATE on your Membership Ballot.
As you’ll see, there are no easy choices.
Our country is on the brink, and I’m afraid the only way to bring it back is to fight harder than we ever have before.
That’s why, as you’ll see, I’ve included one more option on your Membership Ballot.
That’s “FIGHT EVERYWHERE! DON’T GIVE AN INCH!”
But please recognize how serious this is.
Without a massive influx of funds, we simply won’t be able to even run a full program on any one of these critical issues, let alone all of them!
Battling the statists everywhere will mean I must count on you to go above and beyond what you’ve done in the past.
That’s why I simply must hear from you right away.
So can I please count on your most generous contribution of $30 TODAY?
I know that’s a lot.
I know it’s more than you’ve done in the past, but if $30 is just too much, please agree to make your most generous contribution of $20 or at least $10 IMMEDIATELY!
This could not be more serious.
You see, I’ve been fighting for liberty and limited government for almost four decades. I’ve seen new political leaders ushered into power offering promises of change.
Like you, I’ve seen those campaign promises betrayed. But today, thanks to Campaign for Liberty holding politicians’ feet to the fire, I believe we have reason to be optimistic.
The reason has very little to do with the results you and I saw in the November 2014 elections. Instead, it has everything to do with you.
Because of the action of good folks like you, Audit the Fed is on the brink of passing. Americans are fed up with government spending and spying.
My son, Senator Rand Paul, is even considered a frontrunner for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination!
Can we keep up the pressure on Washington, D.C. and finally get the change you and I have fought so hard for?
That’s the question you and I are faced with today. That’s why this is our liberty movement’s biggest test yet.
So please fill out your Membership Ballot right away and tell me how to proceed.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. We simply must nail down Campaign for Liberty’s crucial plans for the coming weeks and months right away, but we can’t do that without hearing from you first.
So please fill out your Membership Ballot and make your most generous contribution of $30, $20, or at least $10!
Recently, Campaign for Liberty President John Tate and I went over the results of the November elections and looked ahead to Campaign for Liberty's strategy for the upcoming year.
This may have been the most important meeting I’ve ever held as Chairman of Campaign for Liberty.
Right now, you and I are facing the biggest test – and perhaps the greatest opportunity - our liberty movement has seen yet.
That’s why, as you’ll see, We’ve created a special Campaign for Liberty Membership Ballot just for you.
I'll give you the link to fill out your Membership Ballot for 2015 in just a moment, but let me first explain exactly what's at stake.
I’ll be blunt. I need your advice – and I need it right away.
There’s no doubt the American people have soundly rejected the Big Government policies you and I have seen coming out of Washington, D.C. over the past several years.
Now, will newly elected members of Congress deliver on their promises?
Or will they hand us more of the same Big Government schemes we’ve seen from BOTH parties?
I believe your action today will go a long way toward deciding the answers to those questions.
But the truth is, without an IMMEDIATE influx of funds, I’m afraid Campaign for Liberty could be forced to cut back on our most critical programs – including fights we could win – before the new Congress is even sworn in!
I can’t begin to explain what a DISASTER this would be - especially with so many new liberty leaders elected.
You see, my hope is Senator-elect Steve Daines (R-MT) will join proven heroes such as Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee in the U.S. Senate, and Congressmen-elect Alex Mooney (R-WV) and Rod Blum (R-IA) will join with Congressmen Thomas Massie and Justin Amash in the U.S. House!
But today, I need you to use your Membership Ballot to tell me where Campaign for Liberty should focus its resources for the upcoming Congress.
There’s no doubt the biggest development for you and me in the 2014 election was Senator Harry Reid being FIRED as the U.S. Senate’s Majority Leader.
During his tenure as Majority Leader, Senator Reid has flat-out REFUSED to allow a vote on Audit the Fed – even after it passed the U.S. House with HUGE bipartisan majorities in both 2012 and 2014.
With polls showing nearly 75% of the American people supporting Fed transparency, I warned this amounted to nothing less than political suicide.
Senator Reid finally paid a price in 2014, and as a result, even The Wall Street Journal is saying, “GOP Senate Takeover Puts Fed on Hot Seat”!
That’s why you and I must start mobilizing a tidal wave of pressure on the U.S. Senate right from the start of the 114th Congress.
By passing Audit the Fed, we can show the American people that the Federal Reserve System leads to:
*** Ever-expanding Big Government boondoggles like “ObamaCare.”
Now that politicians have figured out the Fed will just print money out of thin air to pay the bills if taxing and borrowing can’t make ends meet, the floodgates are wide open for even more of the statists’ utopian plans;
*** Constant economic crises.
The housing crisis and the resulting chaos is just one example of an economic bubble created by centrally planned interest rates and money manipulation;
*** The destruction of the middle class.
As fuel, food, housing, medical care, and education costs soar, everyone who is NOT on the government dole is forced to make do with less as the value of their money sinks;
*** Currency destruction.
History shows us that riots, violence, and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize their money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and REFUSE to accept it.
Just forcing a vote puts you and me in a win/win situation.
Either Congress passes Audit the Fed, or those who vote against it will pay the price in the next election.
Not only that, but our all-out mobilization efforts can help force the Federal Reserve issue to the forefront of the 2016 presidential campaign!
If you believe exposing the Federal Reserve is where Campaign for Liberty should focus our resources, please check AUDIT THE FED on your Membership Ballot.
But before you do, please consider what else is at stake – such as our nation’s growing debt, which is now approaching $18 TRILLION!
The truth is nothing scares me more than watching Washington, D.C. continue to spend like there’s no tomorrow.
Because of BOTH parties’ addiction to spending, now every American taxpayer is on the hook for thousands of dollars more ON TOP of their regular tax bills!
All this debt creates new pressure on the Fed to create more money to pay the bills, resulting in our currency becoming worth less and less . . .
This cycle can’t go on forever. If you and I don’t right the ship, I’m afraid every last shred of American wealth will be wiped out as the Federal Reserve and big-spending politicians finish destroying what’s left of our economy.
That means FORCING Congress to cut spending. This is always the first place new members of Congress break their campaign promises.
Instead of cutting spending, they look for new ways to tax and regulate us – like they’re doing with the Internet right now!
That’s why it’s up to you and me to ensure they don’t get away with betraying us this time.
So if you think reining in government waste should be our number-one priority, please select CUT SPENDING on your Campaign for Liberty Membership Ballot.
But before you do, please consider what’s at stake with President Obama’s out-of-control government spying.
As I’ve warned about for decades, last year, we learned the NSA is busy gathering audio, video, email, photographic, and Internet search usage of ALL Americans who use major services such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Yahoo.
In one 30-day period, the NSA collected three BILLION pieces of “intelligence” from U.S. computer networks!
The “Stasi” – the East German Communist secret police of decades past – could only wish to be so efficient in their record-keeping on “problem citizens.”
Back then, our federal government decried those tactics as “Orwellian.” Now it’s adopting them, and the statists simply tell you and me to “trust” them!
How can we after they’ve lied to us time and again, sunk our nation into massive debt, and used the IRS to target political opponents?
I know they say it’s all “for security.”
Well, there’s no security like prison walls. And I’m afraid that’s exactly what we’re seeing being built around us every day.
So if you think reining in the out-of-control NSA should be our top priority, please select END GOVERNMENT SPYING on your Membership Ballot.
But don’t forget about ObamaCare. As a former OB-GYN, I want so badly to wipe this outrageous scheme off the books!
But I know the longer it remains in place, the longer it will take to repeal.
The good news is the American people are FED UP with the higher taxes and fees, the poorer quality health care, cancelled policies, and skyrocketing premiums.
During the election season, you and I heard a lot of talk about repealing ObamaCare.
Now, it’s time for Congress to deliver.
That’s why I believe Congress should pass the End the Mandate bill I introduced back in 2010. Under this legislation, the federal mandate to buy health insurance is simply repealed.
Force is the basis of all statist schemes. And without this mandate, all of ObamaCare unravels.
So if you think this should be our top priority, please select END THE MANDATE on your Membership Ballot.
As you’ll see, there are no easy choices.
Our country is on the brink, and I’m afraid the only way to bring it back is to fight harder than we ever have before.
That’s why, as you’ll see, I’ve included one more option on your Membership Ballot.
That’s “FIGHT EVERYWHERE! DON’T GIVE AN INCH!”
But please recognize how serious this is.
Without a massive influx of funds, we simply won’t be able to even run a full program on any one of these critical issues, let alone all of them!
Battling the statists everywhere will mean I must count on you to go above and beyond what you’ve done in the past.
That’s why I simply must hear from you right away.
So can I please count on your most generous contribution of $30 TODAY?
I know that’s a lot.
I know it’s more than you’ve done in the past, but if $30 is just too much, please agree to make your most generous contribution of $20 or at least $10 IMMEDIATELY!
This could not be more serious.
You see, I’ve been fighting for liberty and limited government for almost four decades. I’ve seen new political leaders ushered into power offering promises of change.
Like you, I’ve seen those campaign promises betrayed. But today, thanks to Campaign for Liberty holding politicians’ feet to the fire, I believe we have reason to be optimistic.
The reason has very little to do with the results you and I saw in the November 2014 elections. Instead, it has everything to do with you.
Because of the action of good folks like you, Audit the Fed is on the brink of passing. Americans are fed up with government spending and spying.
My son, Senator Rand Paul, is even considered a frontrunner for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination!
Can we keep up the pressure on Washington, D.C. and finally get the change you and I have fought so hard for?
That’s the question you and I are faced with today. That’s why this is our liberty movement’s biggest test yet.
So please fill out your Membership Ballot right away and tell me how to proceed.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. We simply must nail down Campaign for Liberty’s crucial plans for the coming weeks and months right away, but we can’t do that without hearing from you first.
So please fill out your Membership Ballot and make your most generous contribution of $30, $20, or at least $10!

SOPA makes a return
From Fight For The Future:
Creepy news: MPAA is on the march, again.
What is the MPAA? They’re the lobby that brought us SOPA. What do they want? The power to censor any website if its users post anything copyrighted (pictures, songs, videos–even links).
Now, leaked emails show they’re getting a corrupt clique of Attorney Generals to do their dirty work and bring back SOPA the sneaky way. The plan is lead by Mississippi AG Jim Hood. Can you help us bury Hood's office in calls & emails?
What’s the problem with censoring whole websites? Well, apart from huge problems with copyright itself, and some serious technical issues, nearly every important website gives its visitors freedom to post stuff. The power to censor entire sites based on users’ behavi or is essentially the power to destroy communities like Reddit, Tumblr, Youtube, Pinterest, or pretty much any place where people express themselves.
Do you want random media companies to have the power to destroy websites? We sure don’t.
Tell Jim Hood that Internet censorship is out of the question. Contact him
In responses to the Huffington Post, Hood called for a list of sites that search engines and ISPs would be legally required to block . Who makes the list? Hood’s friends at the MPAA.
We’ve been through this before. At the behest of MPAA and old media giants, Congress tried to pass SOPA & PIPA. We organized an epic protest, the Internet rose up in magical unison, and the rest is history: Congress shelved the bill.
But unlike Congress, these Attorney Generals never got thousands of angry emails and phone calls. That’s got to change. Tell Jim Hood that you won’t let Internet censorship happen in America.
We only know about these plans thanks to leaked emails from the (itself Hollywood-esque) Sony Pictures hack, and heroic reporting by The Verge (which Sony tried to censor).
The story is too long and crazy to tell here, but if North Korean hackers didn’t hack Sony Pictures while trying to censor a dumb movie mocking their dictatorship, the public might never have discovered these plans to censor America's Internet.
If there was an Oscar for “best ironic blowback", this would win it.
It’s a crazy world. Stand up for what you believe in!
Sincerely,
Holmes Wilson, Tiffiniy Cheng, Evan Greer, Kevin Huang, Jeff Lyon & Vasjen Katro (aka Fight for the Future)
Bullies. That's the only word I can come up with to describe Sony. They have no problem getting in the faces of the American people but if someone bigger than them fucks with them like North Korea they act like the pansies they are. Fucking libtard bullies. That's all Sony is.

Campaign For Liberty success stories
From Campaign For Liberty:
What a difference a month makes.
Or, more accurately, what a difference Campaign for Liberty members make!
In mid-November, as Congress was returning for its lame-duck session, it looked like House and Senate leadership would sneak an online gambling ban into law by attaching it to “must-pass” legislation, such as the end-of-year spending bill.
It also looked like the special interests had gotten the House and Senate leadership to agree to a backroom deal to sneak the so-called “Marketplace Fairness Act” (more accurately named the National Internet Tax Mandate) into law.
But C4L members like you refused to sit idly by.
C4L flooded the House and the Senate with grassroots voices and action, letting legislators know that - contrary to the statist’s hopes - we had not gone “home for the holidays.”
Instead, we made it clear we were going to keep the pressure on Congress throughout the lame duck in support of liberty and limited government.
Because of the actions of Campaign for Liberty members, the Lame Duck Congress has adjourned without passing either the online gambling ban or the National Internet Tax Mandate!
Defeating two lame-duck power grabs that most political experts thought were done deals is an almost unheard-of feat, considering that these types of deals usually sail through a Lame Duck Congress with little or no opposition.
But you and I proved the so-called “experts” wrong . . .
. . . just like we did in September when, thanks to the efforts of C4L members, the House of Representatives not only once again passed Audit the Fed but did so by a bigger margin than in 2012!
This success would not be possible without the support and involvement of Campaign for Liberty members like you.
But as great as these victories are, we cannot rest on our laurels.
We know the statists won’t give up.
Campaign for Liberty staffers are already laying the groundwork to continue our so-far successful efforts to block the online gambling ban and Internet Tax Mandate, as well as take advantage of the opportunity to finally get a Senate roll call vote on Audit the Fed.
But because we have had to spend so many resources blocking the National Internet Tax Mandate and the Internet gambling ban, promoting Audit the Fed, and taking on other battles, I am afraid we simply do not have the funds to continue to be so effective at stopping statism and advancing liberty without your help.
So could you please make a special contribution of $30, $20, or $10 today?
As you know, the National Internet Tax Mandate is backed by some of the country’s largest corporations, who are prepared to spend whatever it takes to pass this law that would crush their smaller competitors.
And this coalition working to increase government control over the Internet and your wallet has already made it clear they will be back next year.
The online gambling ban, backed by one billionaire casino owner who is also one of the country’s largest political donors, will also return.
This donor has made it clear he will spend whatever it takes — as well as use the leverage his past donations give him — to make sure Americans who choose to gamble have no choice but to do so inside a casino.
We have already heard that this billionaire has personally told House Speaker John Boehner how “disappointed” he is by the House’s failure to do his bidding in the lame-duck session.
We’ve also heard that House Republican Leadership is already working on getting this bill moving next year.
And while Audit the Fed may be supported by nearly 75% of the American people, its opposition includes the nation’s most powerful (and wealthy) banksters and Wall Street special interests.
These interests benefit from Federal Reserve secrecy and are desperate to thwart our efforts to Audit the Fed.
Considering the odds stacked against us, it is amazing we have made as much progress as we have.
But unless we can replenish our bank accounts soon, we may not be able to give these fights everything we need to win.
That is why I hope you I can count on you to make a special contribution of $30 today.
If that is too much, could I count on you for a contribution of $20 or even $10?
Anything you can give will be appreciated and will help us make sure we are able to implement our most effective programs to keep blocking the online gambling ban and the National Internet Tax Mandate while making further progress on Audit the Fed.
Stopping the online gambling ban and the National Internet Tax Mandate in the lame duck is a great victory for which every member of Campaign for Liberty should be proud.
Working together, you and I defeated some of the most powerful special interests in the country — including one of the nation's biggest and most well-connected political donors.
But in order to continue that success, we need to replenish our bank accounts immediately.
So please make a contribution of $30, $20, or $10 right away to help us take a strong stand for freedom.
Thank you once again for all your support of Campaign for Liberty.
These victories would not have been possible without the support of pro-liberty Americans like you.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. Campaign for Liberty members once again defied the political “experts” by defeating efforts to sneak the online gambling ban and the National Internet Tax Mandate into law during the lame duck.
This was a remarkable win considering the powerful forces aligned against us, and it is due to the efforts of Campaign for Liberty members like you.
However, the proponents of these power grabs are not going away.
In fact, we’ve heard that House Republican Leadership is already working on getting the online gambling ban moving next year.
And the special interests behind the National Internet Tax Mandate have made it clear they will be back next Congress.
Campaign for Liberty staffers have already started drawing up plans to once again block these and other statist power grabs, as well as to take advantage of our best chance ever to finally get a Senate vote on Audit the Fed.
But we just don’t have enough resources right now to wage the vigorous fight needed to keep the victories going.
So if you can today, please make a special contribution of $30, $20, or $10 to help C4L continue to stand up to the establishment and promote liberty.

Don't let the rainbow mafia bully society
From Public Advocate:
On behalf of my family and staff, I would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.
During the Christmas season, Public Advocate will reach a critical deadline -- after which every radical homosexual activist will hold a copy of Public Advocate’s financial records in his or her conniving hands.
December 31, 2014 is the deadline for contributions to appear on the IRS 990, the public report that discloses exactly how much money Public Advocate has raised in 2014.
But right now, our figures are falling short of my 2014 objectives.
If I’m to meet budget expectations this year, I must raise $53,599.99 before midnight, December 31st.
If I fail to raise $53,599.99 by December 31st, I’ll be forced to broadcast our weakness and vulnerability to the Homosexual Lobby.
After exposing the Homosexual Lobby’s handpicked candidates ahead of the midterm elections and the brutal fight this year on the Gay Bill of Special Rights, the Homosexual Lobby must not find Public Advocate with little money left to fight next year.
Don’t worry, no one in the Homosexual Lobby will ever know how much you’ve contributed to Public Advocate. Your personal information is kept confidential.
But when I turn in my 990 next year, the Homosexual Lobby will know exactly how much money I raised -- and how much I still have left to oppose the Homosexual Agenda next year.
The radical Homosexual Lobby will be looking for ANY sign of weakness in the pro-Family movement -- believe me, they haven’t given up.
If they see Public Advocate’s treasury depleted, they will see an opening to ram through the Gay Bill of Special Rights, the Homosexual Classrooms Act and National Homosexual “Marriage.”
As I look over my records, I see that you haven't given to Public Advocate in the past.
Without financial support and prayers from our supporters, Public Advocate would be nothing -- totally helpless against the radical homosexuals’ assault on our families and Religious Liberties.
You have done so much for our cause. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Today, I’m asking you to dig deep.
I hope to count on you to chip in $10 or $20 if you can afford it.
If we hope to beat the Homosexual Agenda next year, we must end this year strong -- and the last thing I want to do is submit a public financial report that shows I clearly did not meet my budget goals for 2014.
That’s why I’m asking you to give whatever you can afford today.
My friend, I hope you understand why this deadline is so important to me.
Deviant homosexual operatives are about to know exactly how much I raised this year, and how much cash I have on hand to oppose their radical agenda.
The Homosexual Lobby utterly despises Public Advocate and ridicules all the work you and I do to defend morality in America.
The Human Rights Campaign, The Southern Poverty Law Center, The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, GLAAD, The North American Man/Boy Love Association, and every other radical homosexual organization will be scouring our finance report to exploit every chink in my armor.
The consequences could prove dire for the American family.
Right now homosexual activists are plotting to tempt the new Republican majority into passing their perverse agenda.
They will tell them passing the Gay Bill of Special Rights will “expand the tent” and “keep you in the majority” -- that the pro-Family movement is too weak.
And I have almost nothing left financially.
I have the troops and volunteers.
I have their commitment to fight on.
I have the organization to take this battle to the front lines!
But without the financial armaments to take on the radical homosexual threat, I can do nothing while our government helps eradicate morality from America.
And now that Barack Obama has entered the final lame duck years of his term, that threat grows more and more bold every day.
This year alone, he has imposed parts of the Gay Bill of Special Rights through executive overreach... and since he does not have to worry about re-election, he can act as a rubber stamp of approval for the Homosexual Lobby.
I must know if I can continue to count on you -- that you’ll stand with me in reaching my budget goals before December 31st.
I hate having to tell you like this, but I have no other choice.
Money is so tight now that I may have to scale back critical pro-Family programs at the worst time of year -- as the new Congress convenes in January.
As you know, my office doesn’t receive public funding for our important pro-Family campaigns.
While the Homosexual Lobby continues to siphon millions of taxpayer dollars to bankroll front groups like “AIDS Awareness” campaigns and radical “sex education” initiatives, I raise every penny from concerned Americans like you.
Today, my friend, I ask you to please CLICK HERE to chip in $10 or $20 -- before it’s too late.
I pray I can keep all of Public Advocate’s programs running strong to confront the radical Homosexual Agenda and defeat the deplorable tactics of their shadowy Congressional cronies.
But Public Advocate can’t keep up the pace without additional financial support from pro-Family patriots like you.
The radical Homosexual Lobby outspent Public Advocate this year around 30 to 1, and their dirty war chest continues to grow at an alarming rate.
Nevertheless, Public Advocate managed to check the Homosexual Lobby on several fronts.
We used your petitions and postcards to strike fear in the hearts of enough Congressmen and Senators to stave off votes on the Homosexual Classrooms Act and so far stall the Gay Bill of Special Rights in the House.
And you and I organized support for the religious freedom of private Christian businesses when the Homosexual Lobby launched massive attacks on their pro-Family stances.
But even with these setbacks, the Homosexual Lobby made horrifying gains in 2014, including expanding the number of states with legalized homosexual “marriage” to a record high of 33.
Now they’re promising to pass National Homosexual “Marriage” at the federal level. And to do it, they have to take you and me out of the fight.
Their attack dog -- the Southern Poverty Law Center -- has been dragging your Public Advocate through an expensive and drawn-out series of unending legal attacks.
And they aren’t going to stop. Building on their legislative and court victories, radical activists are ready to push the Homosexual Agenda at every level and in every community.
With anti-family Barack Obama ready with pen in hand for two more years and weak-kneed Republicans in the Congress, the Homosexual Lobby will be a bigger threat next year than ever before.
You can expect to see all of the pro-homosexual bills, from the Gay Bill of Special Rights to the Homosexual Classrooms Act to the Offense of Marriage Act trotted out before Congress once again.
They’ll be looking to exploit our every weakness in the months to come.
No wonder they’ll be poring over my finance report like demented hyenas cackling as they stalk their prey, ready to rip it to shreds.
Without it, the Homosexual Lobby will be able to show Public Advocate’s 990 to moderate politicians as proof there is no effective opposition to their agenda.
Not only that, if we fail to meet our goals we won’t even be able to fund all of our pro-Family programs next year -- so I’m counting on you to stand by my side to help me raise the funds I need by December 31st.
Only with your financial support and prayers can I continue to defend the American family in key battles across America.
Whether you can send $10, $20, -- or whatever you can afford -- I would be tremendously grateful.
You have been there for me in the past. I hope and pray you will pull through for me before December 31st by sending your most generous contribution.
Thank you and God bless,
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the United States
P.S. I urgently need your help before December 31st -- the cut off for me to disclose to the IRS exactly how much money Public Advocate has raised and spent this year.
And after a long year of leading the fight to oppose the Homosexual Agenda in Washington, I have little ammunition left to fight back or mount an offense in 2015.
However, I haven’t met my fundraising goals this year and if I turn in a report advertising that fact, the Homosexual Lobby will exploit our weakness and move in for the kill.
Your emergency gift of $10 or even $20 will save Public Advocate from certain defeat next year as the Homosexual Lobby still has many allies in Congress and the anti-Family Obama White House.
Oh yes,we all remember the Southern Poverty Law Center and how much integrity they have.
On behalf of my family and staff, I would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.
During the Christmas season, Public Advocate will reach a critical deadline -- after which every radical homosexual activist will hold a copy of Public Advocate’s financial records in his or her conniving hands.
December 31, 2014 is the deadline for contributions to appear on the IRS 990, the public report that discloses exactly how much money Public Advocate has raised in 2014.
But right now, our figures are falling short of my 2014 objectives.
If I’m to meet budget expectations this year, I must raise $53,599.99 before midnight, December 31st.
If I fail to raise $53,599.99 by December 31st, I’ll be forced to broadcast our weakness and vulnerability to the Homosexual Lobby.
After exposing the Homosexual Lobby’s handpicked candidates ahead of the midterm elections and the brutal fight this year on the Gay Bill of Special Rights, the Homosexual Lobby must not find Public Advocate with little money left to fight next year.
Don’t worry, no one in the Homosexual Lobby will ever know how much you’ve contributed to Public Advocate. Your personal information is kept confidential.
But when I turn in my 990 next year, the Homosexual Lobby will know exactly how much money I raised -- and how much I still have left to oppose the Homosexual Agenda next year.
The radical Homosexual Lobby will be looking for ANY sign of weakness in the pro-Family movement -- believe me, they haven’t given up.
If they see Public Advocate’s treasury depleted, they will see an opening to ram through the Gay Bill of Special Rights, the Homosexual Classrooms Act and National Homosexual “Marriage.”
As I look over my records, I see that you haven't given to Public Advocate in the past.
Without financial support and prayers from our supporters, Public Advocate would be nothing -- totally helpless against the radical homosexuals’ assault on our families and Religious Liberties.
You have done so much for our cause. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Today, I’m asking you to dig deep.
I hope to count on you to chip in $10 or $20 if you can afford it.
If we hope to beat the Homosexual Agenda next year, we must end this year strong -- and the last thing I want to do is submit a public financial report that shows I clearly did not meet my budget goals for 2014.
That’s why I’m asking you to give whatever you can afford today.
My friend, I hope you understand why this deadline is so important to me.
Deviant homosexual operatives are about to know exactly how much I raised this year, and how much cash I have on hand to oppose their radical agenda.
The Homosexual Lobby utterly despises Public Advocate and ridicules all the work you and I do to defend morality in America.
The Human Rights Campaign, The Southern Poverty Law Center, The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, GLAAD, The North American Man/Boy Love Association, and every other radical homosexual organization will be scouring our finance report to exploit every chink in my armor.
The consequences could prove dire for the American family.
Right now homosexual activists are plotting to tempt the new Republican majority into passing their perverse agenda.
They will tell them passing the Gay Bill of Special Rights will “expand the tent” and “keep you in the majority” -- that the pro-Family movement is too weak.
And I have almost nothing left financially.
I have the troops and volunteers.
I have their commitment to fight on.
I have the organization to take this battle to the front lines!
But without the financial armaments to take on the radical homosexual threat, I can do nothing while our government helps eradicate morality from America.
And now that Barack Obama has entered the final lame duck years of his term, that threat grows more and more bold every day.
This year alone, he has imposed parts of the Gay Bill of Special Rights through executive overreach... and since he does not have to worry about re-election, he can act as a rubber stamp of approval for the Homosexual Lobby.
I must know if I can continue to count on you -- that you’ll stand with me in reaching my budget goals before December 31st.
I hate having to tell you like this, but I have no other choice.
Money is so tight now that I may have to scale back critical pro-Family programs at the worst time of year -- as the new Congress convenes in January.
As you know, my office doesn’t receive public funding for our important pro-Family campaigns.
While the Homosexual Lobby continues to siphon millions of taxpayer dollars to bankroll front groups like “AIDS Awareness” campaigns and radical “sex education” initiatives, I raise every penny from concerned Americans like you.
Today, my friend, I ask you to please CLICK HERE to chip in $10 or $20 -- before it’s too late.
I pray I can keep all of Public Advocate’s programs running strong to confront the radical Homosexual Agenda and defeat the deplorable tactics of their shadowy Congressional cronies.
But Public Advocate can’t keep up the pace without additional financial support from pro-Family patriots like you.
The radical Homosexual Lobby outspent Public Advocate this year around 30 to 1, and their dirty war chest continues to grow at an alarming rate.
Nevertheless, Public Advocate managed to check the Homosexual Lobby on several fronts.
We used your petitions and postcards to strike fear in the hearts of enough Congressmen and Senators to stave off votes on the Homosexual Classrooms Act and so far stall the Gay Bill of Special Rights in the House.
And you and I organized support for the religious freedom of private Christian businesses when the Homosexual Lobby launched massive attacks on their pro-Family stances.
But even with these setbacks, the Homosexual Lobby made horrifying gains in 2014, including expanding the number of states with legalized homosexual “marriage” to a record high of 33.
Now they’re promising to pass National Homosexual “Marriage” at the federal level. And to do it, they have to take you and me out of the fight.
Their attack dog -- the Southern Poverty Law Center -- has been dragging your Public Advocate through an expensive and drawn-out series of unending legal attacks.
And they aren’t going to stop. Building on their legislative and court victories, radical activists are ready to push the Homosexual Agenda at every level and in every community.
With anti-family Barack Obama ready with pen in hand for two more years and weak-kneed Republicans in the Congress, the Homosexual Lobby will be a bigger threat next year than ever before.
You can expect to see all of the pro-homosexual bills, from the Gay Bill of Special Rights to the Homosexual Classrooms Act to the Offense of Marriage Act trotted out before Congress once again.

Say no to union terrorism.
From The National Right To Work Committee:
Thank you!
As you know, Right to Work supporters across the country had a really good election night.
Pro-Right to Work candidates won eight Senate states we targeted for lobby mobilization, with major victories by Right to Work supporters in virtually every close race.
In the House, in 21 out of 24 races where we raised the issue, the pro-Right to Work candidate was chosen by the voters on Election Day.
All of that means our prospects of forcing a vote on a National Right to Work law, and putting the union bosses' remaining forced-unionism allies on the defensive, have never been better.
Poll after poll shows nearly 80% of the American people agree that it is just plain wrong to force workers to pay union dues as a condition of employment.
And thanks to your help, our Candidate Survey Program made sure the politicians know it too.
But elections are one thing, and having the politicians do as they've promised is another.
That's why it's critical that you and I greet this new Congress with a flood of petitions when they arrive.
If you agree, I hope you'll immediately sign your petition urging your Representative and Senators to support a National Right to Work Act.
Over the past two years, you and I signed up 28 Senators as cosponsors of the National Right to Work Act. That's a good start -- but we must continue to grow that number.
On the House side, the numbers have been strong too. With all the newly elected members who pledged support for Right to Work on the campaign trail, we should be able to exceed this year's 118 cosponsors.
That's no surprise, of course, because in addition to being smart politics, Right to Work is also good public policy.
In fact, study after study has shown that workers in Right to Work states are better off than workers in forced-dues states.
Now it's up to Congress to create a better environment by unshackling all of America from forced-unionism and allowing the economy to thrive.
That's why it's vital you sign your petition urging your Representative and Senators to support a National Right to Work Act.
As you know, forced-unionism has a crippling effect on the nation's competitiveness, preventing hardworking Americans from being as productive as possible, destroying businesses and the jobs they provide, or sending them overseas.
But despite all this, Big Labor is still a major force in Washington.
That's why it's going to take a mobilized army of Right to Work supporters demanding action to recruit a maximum number of cosponsors and ultimately bring this issue to roll-call votes in both Houses of Congress.
The fact is, the union bosses know their agenda is unpopular. Most of their go-to politicians do their best to hide their support for Big Labor's forced-dues agenda.
A roll-call vote on the National Right to Work Act will leave them nowhere to hide.
Every politician will be forced to choose publicly: Vote for freedom, or vote for coercion. Then the American people can hold them accountable.
And they will.
Every time in the last 50 years there has been a high-profile fight in Congress on a forced-unionism issue, Right to Work has gained support on Capitol Hill in the next election.
But it all starts with recruiting the maximum number of cosponsors.
Now that the election is behind us, Congressmen and Senators are planning their agenda for next year, so you and I must flood them with demands for action.
That's why it's vital you sign your petition in support of a National Right to Work Act at once.
But as you know, these petition campaigns cost money, and the pre-election mobilization program we just concluded cost millions.
So after you sign, I hope I can count on you to chip in with a generous contribution of $25, $15 or even $10 today.
We won't be able to drive the Right to Work issue through to a vote in this coming Congress without you.
Thanks again for your continued dedication to Right to Work.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
President
P.S. In the next two years we have our best opportunity in nearly a decade to put the union bosses' allies in Congress on the defensive.
So please, sign your petition to your Congressman and Senators TODAY, urging them to cosponsor and seek roll-call votes on the National Right to Work Act.
And if possible, please consider chipping in with a $25, $15 or even $10 contribution today!

Net Neutrality is on it's way to becoming a reality
From Fight For The Future:
I’ve got to be honest with you. I really didn’t think we would make it this far.
When we started this fight for net neutrality, it seemed like the odds were stacked impossibly against us. We’re up against some of the most powerful and politically well-connected companies in the world. Companies that are so close to the government, sometimes it’s hard to tell the two apart.
But against all odds, we are winning. Everything we are hearing says the FCC is finally caving to the public pressure and writing a real net neutrality rule. Please help us finish the fight: click here to chip in whatever you can afford today.
To tell the truth, when we first started this, there was a pretty strong voice in the back of my mind telling me we couldn’t win. It seemed like one of those fights you just had to fight because it was the only righteous, just, rational thing to do.
But here at Fight for the Future, when we take on a campaign, we fight to win, whether the goal seems “possible” or not. So we went all in, and spent long nights and hard days just making stuff happen. Stuff like Occupy the FCC, the Internet Slowdown, a giant net neutrality video billboard, and a calling campaign that’s kept dozens of phones at the FCC, Congress, and the White House ringing off the hook for months.
It’s working, and the effects are measurable. But the next two months will be crucial. The closer we get to winning a real net neutrality rule, the more desperate and aggressive Comcast and Verizon’s lobbyists become. They’re pouring tons of money into a misleading Ad campaign right now that’s blanketing Washington, DC in a last ditch effort to sink net neutrality in Congress, just when it seems we’ve finally secured it. But we have something they don’t have. We have all of you!
Click here to chip in $20 (or whatever you can afford) to help us counter Comcast’s lies and win the fight for net neutrality.
We’re running a little low on funds for our net neutrality work right now, but here’s the plan. There are 1.2 million people on this email list. If everyone gives $1 right now, we could run our own Ad campaign that would tear Comcast’s lies to shreds, and connect it to our broader strategy pressuring lawmakers with innovative online actions and tried and true on-the-ground protest tactics.
But not everyone can give $1, so some of us have to give $20, or $50 or $500! This is history in the making. Let’s all chip in whatever we can.
Yes, I can chip in something to make sure we win the last round of the net neutrality fight.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned since our epic victory against SOPA, it’s that the Internet has completely changed what is and isn’t possible when it comes to politics. Thanks to the free and open web, our tiny team of 7 people has been able to go head to head some of the best funded lobbying operations in the world, and win.
I really never thought I would get to send this email. We still have a long way to go, and we’ll need your support for the final round. But there’s one thing I’m sure of now. As long as we keep the Internet free and open: nothing is impossible.
Yours for the Internet,
-Evan at FFTF
P.S. If you have nothing to give, that's no problem. Just give yourself a pat on the back for being part of a movement that is winning. We're glad to have you on the team.
Want more awesome more often?

Elect Congressman Trey Gowdy Speaker of the House
From The Tea Party:
Speaker of the House Trey Gowdy -- How does that sound?
After the latest round of betrayals when John Boehner threw in with Barack Obama, it has become clear -- Boehner has to go. We need the Speaker of the House to be Trey Gowdy -- a true conservative.
Let me explain: in the last 7 days, Boehner has single handedly betrayed us and squandered the election results before a new Congressional majority could be sworn into office.
After securing 15 more seats in Congress in November's mid-term elections just weeks ago -- the biggest GOP House majority in over 80 years -- we need a strong leader who's fired up and eager to take on Barack Obama and his arrogant Imperial Presidency!
Instead we have John Boehner, who is giving in to the whole Obama agenda -- amnesty, Obamacare, and a fully funded government. It's all a done deal.
The American people are desperately looking for leadership to reverse the disastrous course Barack Obama and the Democrats have plunged our country down.
We need Speaker of the House Trey Gowdy.
Follow this link to sign on the dotted line and Draft Congressman Trey Gowdy to serve as the next Speaker of the House AND BRING TRUE CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP TO CONGRESS.
In the past two-and-a-half months, more than 200,000 patriotic Americans have already signed on to call for a conservative leader the House of Representatives -- a last line of defense against Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.
Will you join the call and sign the petition to draft Trey Gowdy to be the next Speaker of the House -- replacing John Boehner who has too often compromised and capitulated to Barack Obama?
America needs a strong leader like Congressman Trey Gowdy who's proven he will stand up to Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid -- and even liberals in his own party when necessary.
The response has been overwhelmingly in favor of drafting Congressman Trey Gowdy for Speaker of the House, BUT I'm worried we might miss our window of opportunity if we don't get your signature in right away! Will you CLICK HERE to join the call to draft Trey Gowdy to be the next Speaker of the House?
Gowdy is listening, but he's not convinced yet.
Congressmen Gowdy is well known for standing strong on principle, despite the mainstream media or public opinion -- these qualities will make him an excellent Speaker of the House and would return the House GOP to a strong position.
It's critical we not only elect strong conservatives to congress, but we must also replace weak leaders like John Boehner.
Our Plan:
1.Gather five-hundred-thousand more signatures to show Gowdy we're serious.
2.Deliver a copy of the signatures and the Official Draft Gowdy Petition to every GOP Congressman's office on Capitol Hill.
3.Notify the media of the official tally to show the ground swell of support we've uncovered for Congressman Trey Gowdy to replace Boehner as Speaker of the House.
Gowdy won't back down on Benghazi. AND I'm willing to say he wouldn't have compromised and capitulated to Barack Obama like John Boehner JUST DID AGAIN!
And that's why I'm asking you to sign your Draft Trey Gowdy for Speaker Petition today by clicking here immediately. Once you've signed, donate $5 or more and make sure we get this petition in front of another 10,000 Americans.
Let me remind you what we could have accomplished under Gowdy's leadership:
- We could have STOPPED the pork-filled House bill to fund the government,
- We could have repealed and defunded Obamacare,
- We could have said no to the massive debt increase in the latest tax-and-spend liberal budget,
- We could have protected disabled veterans' pensions AND CUT CONGRESS INSTEAD; and
- We wouldn't be on the verge of a massive new Amnesty bill.
That's why it is so important that we raise up 1 million Americans who will sign their name on the dotted line to draft Trey Gowdy as Speaker of the House.
And that's why I'm asking you to sign your Draft Trey Gowdy for Speaker Petition today by clicking here immediately.
Frankly, it doesn't do Americans any good when Republicans appease Barack Obama -- and that is exactly what is happing today with John Boehner as our speaker. Whether its raising the debt ceiling, selling out our veterans (Gowdy is a veteran), pushing Amnesty, or caving in on fully funding Obamacare -- our GOP leaders have failed us.
That's why with your signed petition today, we will start a grassroots movement to make Trey Gowdy the next Speaker of the House. We can't let the establishment keep putting up their cronies year in and year out to block true Conservative ideas that would shrink government and their power.
Will you sign your name today?
If you support having a strong, conservative leadership team in the US Congress -- led by a no-nonsense, conservative prosecutor and military man -- I'm asking you to do two things immediately:
1)Please -- right now before you do anything else -- click here to sign your Draft Trey Gowdy for Speaker Petition. I need you if we are going to reach our goal of 1 million signatures.
2)After you sign, please make a generous donation to help us reach our goal. Even $5 will help us distribute this petition to thousands more patriotic Americans. Of course, if you can afford $35 or even $75 that will be so much more helpful.
No matter what you are able to give, please sign your Draft Trey Gowdy Petition Right away.
No matter what you are able to give, please sign your Draft Trey Gowdy Petition Right away. The truth is -- the final vote for GOP leadership elections is just around the corner. And if the American people are going to have a conservative voice in Congress to lead the GOP -- I must have your support today.
Sincerely,
Rusty Humphries
PS. I need your immediate help. GOP leadership elections are about to be underway in the House of Representatives.

Gowdy is listening, but he's not convinced yet.
Congressmen Gowdy is well known for standing strong on principle, despite the mainstream media or public opinion -- these qualities will make him an excellent Speaker of the House and would return the House GOP to a strong position.
It's critical we not only elect strong conservatives to congress, but we must also replace weak leaders like John Boehner.
Our Plan:
1.Gather five-hundred-thousand more signatures to show Gowdy we're serious.
2.Deliver a copy of the signatures and the Official Draft Gowdy Petition to every GOP Congressman's office on Capitol Hill.
3.Notify the media of the official tally to show the ground swell of support we've uncovered for Congressman Trey Gowdy to replace Boehner as Speaker of the House.
Gowdy won't back down on Benghazi. AND I'm willing to say he wouldn't have compromised and capitulated to Barack Obama like John Boehner JUST DID AGAIN!
And that's why I'm asking you to sign your Draft Trey Gowdy for Speaker Petition today by clicking here immediately. Once you've signed, donate $5 or more and make sure we get this petition in front of another 10,000 Americans.
Let me remind you what we could have accomplished under Gowdy's leadership:
- We could have STOPPED the pork-filled House bill to fund the government,
- We could have repealed and defunded Obamacare,
- We could have said no to the massive debt increase in the latest tax-and-spend liberal budget,
- We could have protected disabled veterans' pensions AND CUT CONGRESS INSTEAD; and
- We wouldn't be on the verge of a massive new Amnesty bill.
That's why it is so important that we raise up 1 million Americans who will sign their name on the dotted line to draft Trey Gowdy as Speaker of the House.
And that's why I'm asking you to sign your Draft Trey Gowdy for Speaker Petition today by clicking here immediately.
Frankly, it doesn't do Americans any good when Republicans appease Barack Obama -- and that is exactly what is happing today with John Boehner as our speaker. Whether its raising the debt ceiling, selling out our veterans (Gowdy is a veteran), pushing Amnesty, or caving in on fully funding Obamacare -- our GOP leaders have failed us.
That's why with your signed petition today, we will start a grassroots movement to make Trey Gowdy the next Speaker of the House. We can't let the establishment keep putting up their cronies year in and year out to block true Conservative ideas that would shrink government and their power.
Will you sign your name today?
If you support having a strong, conservative leadership team in the US Congress -- led by a no-nonsense, conservative prosecutor and military man -- I'm asking you to do two things immediately:
1)Please -- right now before you do anything else -- click here to sign your Draft Trey Gowdy for Speaker Petition. I need you if we are going to reach our goal of 1 million signatures.
2)After you sign, please make a generous donation to help us reach our goal. Even $5 will help us distribute this petition to thousands more patriotic Americans. Of course, if you can afford $35 or even $75 that will be so much more helpful.
No matter what you are able to give, please sign your Draft Trey Gowdy Petition Right away.
No matter what you are able to give, please sign your Draft Trey Gowdy Petition Right away. The truth is -- the final vote for GOP leadership elections is just around the corner. And if the American people are going to have a conservative voice in Congress to lead the GOP -- I must have your support today.
Sincerely,
Rusty Humphries
PS. I need your immediate help. GOP leadership elections are about to be underway in the House of Representatives.
Will you join the call to draft Trey Gowdy to be the next Speaker of the House -- replacing John Boehner, who has too often compromised and capitulated to with Barack Obama?
Click here to sign your petition to draft Trey Gowdy as the next Speaker of the House.
Rainbow mafia targets family
From Public Advocate:
This story is absolutely terrifying.
Aaron and Melissa Klein were ordinary, small-town Christians who owned a bakery in Oregon.
But their world quickly spiraled into chaos when Aaron refused to bake a wedding cake for a homosexual "marriage."
The homosexual "couple" filed a complaint, and the liberal media pummeled the Klein family with an all-out smear campaign.
The Klein's were forced to shut down their business, and they removed their children from school out of fear.
Now the Christian couple remains trapped in a whirlwind of public scrutiny.
They're haunted with angry and vile hate mail, such as:
"You stupid bible-thumping, hypocritical b****. I hope your kids get really, really sick and you go out of business!"
Recently, a thug broke into their vehicle as it sat parked outside the Klein's family home.
And now, the Kleins are facing over $130,000 in fines because they refused to compromise their Christian beliefs.
Every pro-Family American needs to wake up.
As the anti-religious Left doubles down on uprooting our moral values, it's becoming apparent more Christian Americans will fall victim to this frightening scenario.
The homosexual "couple" could have easily found another baker rather than inciting a full-blown witch hunt.
But instead, they chose to jeopardize the safety of an innocent Christian family just to further their political agendaz.
Defending our Constitutional rights means moral Americans like you must fight every single day.
That's why I'm counting on you to sign your "Protect Religious Liberty" Directive and fuel Public Advocate's efforts to defend our Constitutional right to religious expression.
For the Family,
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.
P.S. Two more Christian business owners have fallen prey to the anti-religious Left's endless attacks.
Our Constitutional rights are dangling by a thread, and that's why I'm counting on you to take action.
The success of Public Advocate's efforts depends on moral Americans like you fighting back, so please sign your "Protect Religious Liberty" Directive right away.

Michigan's version of the gay bill of special rights goes down in flames
From Public Advocate:
The Homosexual Lobby's radical agenda crashed into a brick wall in Michigan.
All thanks to your Public Advocate and our pro-Family supporters!
Just last week, Michigan's version of the Gay Bill of Special Rights -- dubbed the Pedophile Protection Act due to its far-reaching implications -- failed to gain enough support in the House Commerce Committee to even warrant a vote.
That makes it a dead bill when Michigan's lame duck session comes to a close.
But this is just a small part of the story.
This pro-Family victory was the result of months of Public Advocate's hard work and our thousands of supporters on the ground in Michigan.
Public Advocate issued hard-hitting pro-Family surveys to every candidate for state office before November's elections -- nearly 350 individuals!
Key battleground House Districts were targeted for additional advocacy; such as postcards, automated phone calls, local activist meetings, and even leafleting.
Representatives from three of these targeted districts were on the Commerce Committee -- and when the time came to debate this despicable bill, they had learned the importance of opposing it.
We also faced off against the entire Homosexual Lobby in one key district over an open seat.
The Homosexual Lobby publicly bragged they would defeat the pro-Family candidate running there who completed our Family Values Survey 100%.
We gave the voters of that district the real story of the Homosexual Lobby, their agenda, and what their candidate had in mind for Michigan.
And the people rallied around the pro-Family choice.
The November elections saw the Homosexual Lobby lose in almost every open race for the state House and Senate.
Due to these defeats, they have no chance of controlling this legislature in the next session.
That's why they were desperate to ram their bill through during Lame Duck.
And that's why it was so crucial for Public Advocate's supporters to step up for Traditional Values and Religious Liberties.
For an entire month, Public Advocate's supporters answered our calls to action.
They flooded the state capitol with phone calls and emails.
Two of the biggest targets in Lansing were Speaker of the House Jase Bolger and State Representative Frank Foster, the two leading Republican supporters of the Pedophile Protection Act (PPA).
Both received massive payouts from anti-Family radicals Tim Gill and Paul Singer this summer.
And both have faced the pro-Family backlash for their betrayal.
Frank Foster actually lost his primary bid for re-election to another candidate who returned our survey 100% pro-Family.
And Speaker Bolger was forced to offer up a Michigan Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) in an effort to buy support for his radical bill.
Public Advocate's grassroots efforts were so effective that while the PPA died in Frank Foster's Commerce Committee, the RFRA sailed right through the House!
To sum up the Homosexual Lobby's defeat in Michigan, 2014:
•Wasted over $150,000 buying candidates who were rendered powerless or even removed from office,
•Lost a key House race in which they focused national efforts and resources,
•Failed to gain control of either the state House or Senate -- and even lost influence there,
•Defeated in the legislative fight to see their bill (PPA) passed out of Committee, let alone out of the House,
•Lost the war for public opinion as the people of Michigan widely turned against them,
•Failed to prevent the Religious Freedom Restoration Act from passing the House in place of the PPA,
•Were crushed at every point by Public Advocate's 'David' to their 'Goliath.'
All this was made possible by your support and donations.
Public Advocate does more on a shoestring budget than the Homosexual Lobby can accomplish with their giant bank accounts.
Our secret weapon: your dedication and your passion.
And I cannot overstate how critical this victory in Michigan was.
As the future of the national Gay Bill of Special Rights was looking darker and darker, the national Homosexual Lobby set up Michigan as a proxy fight -- a consolation prize to their radical members.
Over the last month, major groups like the Human Rights Campaign spoke about Michigan nearly as much as they did D.C.
But your Public Advocate defeated them on both the national and state levels.
And together, you and I showed America that the fight over Family Values and Traditional Morality is not over.
For the Family,
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.

Illinois wants to penalize citizens for recording police and other public officials aka politicians
From Fight For The Future:
Illinois just passed a vague law that discourages people from recording their interactions with police by making it a felony to record cops and other government officials in certain circumstances.
The right to record our interactions with law enforcement and government officials is a basic freedom. It protects all of us from abuse. But the legislature of Illinois just hastily passed an amendment attached to a totally unrelated bill that will actually increase penalti es that people face if they record police or other officials in situations where they have a “reasonable expectation of privacy.”
The problem is that the bill’s language is so vague that it will leave Illinois residents wondering whether and when they have the right to record their interactions with police. This will have a chilling effect, and if it becomes a trend it and poses a threat to our First Amendment rights. Worse, this bill grants new authorities to police and informants to secretly record conversations without a warrant.
Sign the petition to the Governor of Illinois: veto the bill that makes it more illegal to record the cops than for them to record you.
People from across the political spectrum all agree on one thing: we want more transparency and accountability from our government. Anytime a state passes a law that limits our freedom, it’s important that we push back to prevent it from becoming a dangerous trend.
Please click here to sign the petition, and then forward this email to as many people as you can.
More than 10,000 people have taken action on this in just the first few hours of us learning about the bill. If everyone signs and shares this we’ll almost certainly strike a major victory for free speech and privacy.
Sincerely,
-Evan, Tiffiniy, and Holmes

Corruption and shoddy legislation in the Land of Lincoln? No tell me it's not so. I mean how can it be when Illinois has produced such esteemed leaders:
I mean with such esteemed leaders,especially a mayor of one of the safest cities in America. Oh no,how can this possibly be.

Cold blooded killer denied parole
Dec 11, 2014 — Many thanks to everyone who signed the Petition to Deny Parole to Vanessa Coleman.

The Christian and Newsom families one a battle today in the fight for justice for Channon and Christopher. Sadly nothing can bring back their loved ones so please continue to hold them in your thoughts and prayers. Ultimately, there are no winners in a situation such as this.
Again, thank you for standing up with the families and friends of Chris and Channon. Look to hear from us again in December 2020.

Tell the federal govenment to leave internet gambling alone
From Campaign For Liberty:
History shows that when government tries to save us from ourselves, the cure is much worse than the disease. It always results in far more government intrusion into our lives and liberty than anyone imagined.
The latest target is Internet gambling.
While the federal government has no interest in shutting down the 1,500 casinos in all 50 states, it has targeted the 2,000 Internet gambling sites.
Please don’t fool yourself into thinking this bill has anything to do with helping people with a “problem.”
It’s about more federal preemption of state laws and more government control over the Internet and what you do.
And it’s about appeasing one well-connected billionaire casino owner who is the driving force behind the legislation.
Arguably, if statists pass the “Restoration of America’s Wire Act” (S. 2159/H.R. 4301), they could even shut down a MeetUp site if a couple of members make a friendly wager on a college rivalry football game.
And inside sources say California Representatives Kevin McCarthy (District 23), Ami Bera (District 7), and Scott Peters (District 52) may vote in favor of spying on your Internet activities!
Please call your U.S. senators and U.S. representative at 202-224-3121 right away. Demand they oppose and vote against the “Restoration of America’s Wire Act” (S. 2159/H.R. 4301).
Even if you’re not in his district, it is particularly important to contact Representative McCarthy since, as House Majority Leader, he will play an important role in determining this bill’s fate.
You can reach Representative McCarthy’s Majority Leader office at 202-225-4000.
Senator Lindsey Graham is leading the charge on this new radical scheme inside Congress, with “bipartisan” support.
Why can’t they just leave the Internet alone?
Why can’t they just leave YOU and ME alone?
After all we’ve learned about the national surveillance state, we can’t afford yet another bill that would pave the way for federal bureaucrats to increase their spying on Americans’ Internet activities.
So please call Congress and make your voice heard right away!
This bill also tramples on states’ rights by usurping state authority over this issue.
Currently, several states allow Internet gambling, and others are considering it.
But this legislation strips away that sovereignty, giving yet more power to an already obese central government.
If it passes, it will set a precedent for federal nullification of state laws – laws protecting your liberties from Congress and the federal bureaucracy.
It will send a signal that it is open season on your personal liberties.
So it’s imperative you take action right away.
Please call your U.S. senators and your U.S. representative at 202-224-3121 TODAY.
And you can reach Representative Kevin McCarthy’s Majority Leader office at 202-225-4000.
Demand they oppose and vote against the “Restoration of America’s Wire Act.”

Bill for gay special rights is stalled and on life support
From Public Advocate:
Public Advocate has just shut down the Homosexual Lobby's best chance to ram the Gay Bill of Special Rights through the lame duck Congress.
Now, their hopes of passing the crown jewel of their radical agenda before Republicans officially take back the Senate are on life support.
Their plan was to use the same trick they used to pass the Thought Control Act -- a fight you and I lost.
But Public Advocate sounded the alarm several weeks ago about the Homosexual Lobby's scheme.
So I set to work mobilizing our pro-Family supporters to target the key lynchpin in this fight: Republican leadership in the House of Representatives.
And in the last month, Public Advocate flooded leadership's offices with over 30,000 petitions demanding they hold the line against the radical Homosexual Agenda.
Thanks to this groundswell of pro-Family voices, a crucial House committee rejected the Homosexual Lobby's attempt to hide the Gay Bill of Special Rights as part of a critical national defense bill with a 7-3 party line vote.
I'm confident that if you and I had stayed on the sidelines in this fight, the outcome would have been much different.
Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH), Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) were under tremendous pressure to pass this bill from the Homosexual Lobby -- and even members of their own party!
And they have a history of spurning conservative principles for their own benefit.
Just this week, conservative Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) alerted conservatives to a dirty trick Speaker Boehner used to sneak President Obama's illegal amnesty through the House.
Your quick action and generous financial support is critical for Public Advocate's plans to stop them from pulling the same trick with the Gay Bill of Special Rights.
Without your support, Public Advocate loses our ability to keep House leadership's feet to the fire.
As always, I will keep you updated on the latest developments in the lame duck session.
The political sands can shift at a moment's notice, so I continue to count on your rapid response.
For the Family,
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.

Just this week, conservative Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) alerted conservatives to a dirty trick Speaker Boehner used to sneak President Obama's illegal amnesty through the House.
Your quick action and generous financial support is critical for Public Advocate's plans to stop them from pulling the same trick with the Gay Bill of Special Rights.
Without your support, Public Advocate loses our ability to keep House leadership's feet to the fire.
As always, I will keep you updated on the latest developments in the lame duck session.
The political sands can shift at a moment's notice, so I continue to count on your rapid response.
For the Family,
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.
P.S. Your financial support is vital for maintaining Public Advocate's ability to spring into action when our Religious Liberties are threatened.

Ted Cruz is a sell out
From Demand Progress:
Please help us call out the key Republican lawmakers who are shilling for Big Cable and working to kill Net Neutrality:
Americans overwhelmingly support Net Neutrality, but several dozen Republicans who sit on the committees that oversee the Federal Communications Commission are trying to kill it.
They just signed a letter in opposition to the Net Neutrality proposal millions of Americans and President Obama back – and Senator Ted Cruz even called Net Neutrality “Obamacare for the Internet” !
They're opposing the will of their constituents, and trying to undermine a platform that facilitates speech, democracy, and innovation like no other in the history of humankind.
Why would they behave that way? Well, they’re just doing the bidding of Comcast, AT&T, and the other big cable monopolies – who, incidentally, have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to their campaigns.
Click on the link below -- we'll connect you to these Republican lawmakers and provide you with a script that you can use to tell them to stop shilling for Big Cable:

Let's let 'em have it.

I never thought I would see the day that Ted Cruz abandoned the side of liberty but he did. It turns out he sold out to the establishment at the expense of the people. I guess it goes to show that sooner or later an actor is going to stop acting and be themselves. Now I believe we are seeing the real Ted Cruz who is a statist after all.

Pro-family survey
From Public Advocate:
Right now, the Homosexual Lobby is trying to convince the lame duck Congress that embracing their radical agenda is the only way to stay in power.
They say the American public has turned against the Family, Real Marriage, and Christian Values.
Is it true?
Will you let them neutralize the pro-Family midterm wave before the new Congress even starts?
I need your answer right away.
Please complete your American Morality Survey so I can prove to Congress that Traditional Values and the Family still matter.
And once you've completed your survey, please contribute with a gift of $10 or whatever you can afford to help Public Advocate strengthen our pro-Family voice and drown out the Homosexual Lobby's propaganda.
Then, please forward this email to your pro-Family friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors.
Thank you for your prompt action.

Tell the House to put the NSA on a leash
From Fight For The Future:
Here’s a quick emergency action item. I’m not sure if we’ll win this, but it’s definitely worth a shot.
In short, a few heroes in Congress successfully introduced an amendment (Massie-Lofgren) to defund key parts of the NSA’s spying apparatus. But today, party leaders want to kill it.
Can you make three quick calls right now to defend our victory against the NSA?
Here are their phone numbers:
House Speaker John Boehner: (202) 225-0600 Contact
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: (202) 225-4965 Contact
Appropriations Chair Hal Rogers: (202) 225-4601 Contact
When you call, be polite, but tell them: “I’m a constituent and I care about my privacy from government searches. Don’t block the Massie-Lofgren amendment.”
If you want to get technical (up to you!) try explaining how terrible an idea it is for the US government to be inserting backdoors and weakening encryption in American tech products. (The Massie-Lofgren amendment would cut off funding for these activities.)
Either way, please do make these three calls. It takes just a few minutes, and it’s totally worth it.
Thanks for doing this!
Sincerely,
Holmes Wilson, Evan Greer, Kevin Huang, Tiffiniy Cheng and the whole FFTF team.

TPP coming up for a vote
From Fight For The Future:
Urgent: vote coming soon on the TPP Internet censorship plan.
The U.S. Trade Representative has confirmed that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is moving again, with confidential meetings in Washington, DC next week. TPP-defenders in Congress have already been making noise about a Fast Track vote, and this could be a sign that it’s coming soon.
Just last month, the latest version of the TPP’s crucial copyright & intellectual property chapter was leaked, and the news was not good. The Internet censorship provisions in the TPP have gotten even worse.
Don’t let governments censor the net. Take action now to stop Fast Track for the TPP.
We’ve beaten the TPP back before. It’s time to do it again. While these secret meetings are being pushed by the White House, corrupt officials in Congress want to “fast track” the TPP right now during the lame duck session.The vote could be close. Will you take action now to stop Internet censorship?
Click here to stop the TPP Internet censorship plan.
Millions of people have already spoken out against the TPP power grab. Every issue we care about depends on the future of the free and open web. Take a moment today to defend it.
Onward,
-Evan at FFTF

Gay supremacist EEOC nominees go before a lame duck Senate
From Public Advocate:
There is a critical vote in the Senate coming up this week!
The Homosexual Lobby is throwing their weight behind two of President Obama's nominees for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
And the U.S. Senate confirmation vote is our one chance to defeat them.
The wealthy Human Rights Campaign (HRC) fund just announced a full court press to support these two nominees in the lame duck Senate.
It's up to you and your Public Advocate to stop them.
You see, the EEOC is a dangerous tool for the Homosexual Agenda.
It was one of the first federal agencies to arbitrarily enforce the Homosexual Agenda without any legislative mandate from Congress.
P. David Lopez and Charlotte Burrows -- if confirmed in their nominations -- will use the commission to enforce even more privileged rights for homosexuals and transsexuals.
If the Homosexual Lobby can ever pass the Gay Bill of Special Rights into law, it will be the EEOC who is charged with enforcing it.
And President Obama's lame duck nominees will guarantee that it's enforced with extreme prejudice.
Tico Almeida, president of the radical group Freedom to Work, said that Lopez is "poised to benefit" the Homosexual Agenda as a member of the EEOC.
According to Mara Keisling of the National Center for Transgender Equality, it is "vital" for Burrows to be on the EEOC so they can force the Homosexual Agenda by bypassing Congress.
HRC's president Fred Sainz said that his group would do whatever it takes to "ensure the votes are there" to secure confirmation of these radical nominees.
Lopez and Burrows are bad for America and dangerous for Family Values.
With the Homosexual Lobby's crushing defeat in the 2014 mid-term elections, their best chance to get these nominees confirmed is right now during the lame duck session.
And they aren't wasting any time. The confirmation vote is expected to come up this week!
It's up to you and me to stop them.
Public Advocate made opposing Obama's radical nominations a priority this year in our U.S. Senate Candidates Survey.
Candidates were asked to take a pledge to oppose any nominee who supported the radical Homosexual Agenda.
However, Republican Senators John Cornyn (Texas), Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Lindsey Graham (SC) and even Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) all refused to take this pledge.
So you and I cannot trust them to oppose these radical nominees now -- not without our encouragement.
Mitch McConnell especially is hoping to be the Senate Majority Leader when Republicans take control of the Senate next year.
We need to let Senator McConnell know that we expect him to stand up for American families right now by rallying his entire caucus against these nominees.
If Republicans and several Democrats all close ranks and stonewall these nominations, we will defeat them.
Please contact both of your U.S. Senators right now by Clicking here-- call, email or both!
Let them know that you expect them to fully oppose the confirmation of EEOC nominees P. David Lopez and Charlotte Burrows.
And then contact Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and let him know you expect him to do whatever it takes to rally Senate Republicans and defeat these nominations.
Please don't wait, we don't have a minute to lose.

Stop cold blooded murderer from going free.
Deny Parole to Vanessa Coleman, Offender #473393
Daniel Frye
Knoxville, TN
On the evening of January 6, 2007, Christopher Newsom and his girlfriend Channon Christian made dinner plans and then were to go to a friend’s house to watch a movie. They would never be seen alive again. Now one of their killers is eligible for parole.
When Chris went to pick Channon up at a friend’s apartment complex, they were carjacked by multiple assailants. What followed was one of the most heinous, gruesome, and senseless crimes in Tennessee history. The couple were taken to a house in East Knoxville and held against their will where they were brutally tortured and raped for hours.
The details of their torture are so graphic and heartbreaking that I won’t go into much detail beyond this: After being tortured, Christopher Newsom was killed execution style by multiple gunshots before his attackers poured gasoline on his body and set him on fire. Channon Christian had bleach poured down her throat and on her body before being wrapped in plastic bags and placed in a garbage can in the kitchen of the house—all of this while she was still alive. Her last minutes on earth were spent slowly suffocating in a garbage can.
The five people responsible for these heinous crimes are: Lemaricus Davidson, Letalvis Cobbins, George Thomas, Vanessa Coleman and Eric Boyd. Boyd was given 18 years and the others will likely remain behind bars for the rest of their lives but incredibly, Vanessa Coleman had her sentence reduced by a third after a retrial and is set to go before the Tennessee Board of Paroles in early December, 2014.
Vanessa Coleman went into prison with a 35 year sentence. However, due to prison overcrowding she has to serve only 30% of her sentence before being eligible for a parole hearing. In addition to her sentence being effectively reduced by 70% she has been accumulating additional time toward an early release, up to a possible 192 days per year for good behavior.
During the course of Coleman's trial evidence was presented from her diary entry dated 3 days after the murder. For her part in the torture, rape, and murders she wrote: “I’ve had one HELL OF AN ADVENTURE since I’ve been in the big TN. It’s a crazy world these days! But I love the fun adventures and lessons that I’ve learned. Its going to be a long interesting year! Ha! Ha!”
Please sign this petition and help the families of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian keep Vanessa Coleman, Offender #473393 in prison for as long as possible.

They are looking to release her,a murder accomplice. Why? Because they are overcrowded. Most likely from non-violent drug users. So instead of letting the non-violent drug users go they are going to release someone who has very little regard for human life. Let's do what we can to prevent that.
