From Public Advocate:
I have good news to share with you!
The Homosexual Lobby's attack on my livelihood as a humble public servant has been thrown out of court.
They have been plotting to remove me from office for several years now because of my work as President of Public Advocate.
Liberals cannot stand seeing a pro-Family advocate serving in a public position.
They tell themselves that the majority of Americans support the radical Homosexual Agenda.
So when I stand in front of the news cameras and speak publicly without fear of repercussion -- well it just drive them nuts!
Their most recent effort petitioned a judge to have me fired because of my outspoken defense of real marriage.
Fortunately, their attempts to use the Southern Poverty Law Center's (SPLC) misclassification of Public Advocate as a "Hate Group" failed miserably.
You see, the SPLC added your Public Advocate to their infamous Hate Map over two years ago for our efforts to defend real marriage.
However, my lawyers subpoenaed the SPLC to justify -- for the first time -- how they prove a group is a "hate group."
And they were exposed for their baseless accusation.
Because the truth is, there is no impartial basis for their "Hate List."
The SPLC targets any group that disagrees with their radical Leftist agenda.
Through it all, I refused to back down to the liberal threats.
And just this week, the independent investigator and the judge both agreed that the charges were groundless and dismissed the case.
Thank you for always supporting me.
And thank you for being brave enough to stand up for the Family!
For the Family,
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.
P.S. Will you chip in $5 or $10 to help Public Advocate fight against anti-Family radicals like the SPLC?

Interview with Kim Jung Un
North Korea on Wednesday denounced a new Hollywood comedy about an assassination bid on leader Kim Jong-Un as a "wanton act of terror" and warned of a "merciless response" unless the US authorities banned the film.
"The Interview" stars Seth Rogen and James Franco as two celebrity journalists who land an interview with Kim and are then tasked by the CIA with killing him.
The film is due to be released in the United States on October 14.
In a statement carried by North Korea's official KCNA news agency, a foreign ministry spokesman said the film was the work of "gangster moviemakers" and should never be shown.
"The act of making and screening such a movie that portrays the attack on our top leadership... is a most wanton act of terror and act of war, and is absolutely intolerable," the spokesman said.
In his statement, he called on the US administration to ban the film from being screened and warned that failure to do so would trigger a "resolute and merciless response".
It is not the first time Hollywood has poked fun at a North Korean leader.
In the 2004 satirical action comedy "Team America," Kim's father Kim Jong-Il was portrayed as a speech-impaired, isolated despot.

I thought this was fucking funny. Journalists can usually find these terrorists easier than the military can so why not have Green Berets among the journalists to do the job to save the United States.

Prove Hillary Clinton wrong
From Rand 2016:
“We cannot let a minority of people, and that’s what it is, it is a minority of people, hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people."
After I read these comments from Hillary Clinton about the failed attempt to ram a national gun registration scheme through Congress, I had to scoop my jaw up from off the floor.
Even after a grassroots tsunami swamped the Senate and defeated President Obama's gun control, Big Government politicians refused to recognize the reality.
Anti-Second Amendment politicians won't abandon their desire to infringe on our rights.
You and I will have to defeat them at the ballot box.
The June 30 reporting deadline represents a mile marker on the road to the midterm elections.
And the D.C. political class is fidgeting in their seats waiting for me to turn in my report.
You see, President Obama's failed foreign policy and the job-killing ObamaCare scheme have whipped up a toxic political climate for Democrats.
So while November is shaping up to be a good election for conservatives, promise must be converted to results.
And turning in the strongest end of quarter report possible will set off a signal no one in Washington can ignore.
That's why it's crucial you chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 right away.
Prove Hillary Clinton wrong and demonstrate that defending the Second Amendment and the rest of our conservative values represent the majority in America.
So please chip in contribution to my end of quarter push and help send a message that constitutional conservatives are ready to win in November.
In Liberty,
Senator Rand Paul
P.S. June 30th is rapidly approaching. This is the End of Quarter Fundraising Deadline. Immediately following, I must turn in my financial report for the last quarter.
And I can promise you, all eyes will be on you and me during that critical time.
Your action, standing with me over the past several months, has made an enormous impact in Washington, D.C.
But politicians in Washington, D.C. have short memories. That’s why I need you to prove to them you’re still in my corner.
So please agree to help me turn in the strongest report possible on June 30th by chipping in a contribution of $10 or at least $20 TODAY!

Force the issue on Audit The Fed
From Campaign For Liberty:
On Friday, Campaign for Liberty Chairman Ron Paul sent newly elected GOP House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy a letter urging him to hold a vote on Audit the Fed.
Dr. Paul’s letter reminded Majority Leader-elect McCarthy that nearly 75% of Americans support a Fed audit, and that H.R. 24 is cosponsored by a bipartisan House majority.
However, since Eric Cantor will remain as Majority Leader until July 31, you and I must make sure he knows grassroots Americans are demanding he schedule a vote on Audit the Fed before he steps down.
It is also important your senators know you expect them to stand with Senator Rand Paul and force Harry Reid to schedule a roll call vote on Audit the Fed.
So please read Dr. Paul’s email below about C4L’s efforts to get a House vote on Audit the Fed.
After you read Dr. Paul's email, please be sure to sign your Audit the Fed petition right away, if you haven’t yet done so.
In Liberty,
John Tate
President
Campaign for Liberty
Even after almost six years of pumping U.S. dollars - created out of thin air - into the American economy, April’s jobs report showed that the American people are not benefiting from the recommendations of the so-called “experts.”
All the Fed’s quantitative easing was “supposed” to dig us out of the Great Recession long before now. . .
But another 800,000 Americans just dropped out of the labor force, leaving just over 60% of working-age adults with full-time employment - the lowest number since Jimmy Carter’s presidency.
So what’s the Fed’s solution?
More of the same. More “print-now, ask-questions-later” policies. More Federal Reserve-fueled dollar destruction. . .
More printing money to pay the bills - fueling our ever-growing $17.5 TRILLION in national debt, which threatens to wipe out every last shred of American wealth!
But the good news is - thanks to your support - Audit the Fed (H.R. 24) has reached 224 cosponsors in the U.S. House - a clear majority!
Now - with the November elections rapidly approaching - it’s absolutely critical you sign the petition to House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and your U.S. Senators I'll link to in just a moment!
As you’ll see, these petitions:
1) INSIST Republican House Leadership STOP protecting Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and schedule an IMMEDIATE roll call vote on H.R. 24; and
2) URGE your U.S. Senators to stand with my son - Senator Rand Paul - in his efforts to force the U.S. Senate on record on Audit the Fed.
Won’t you please sign your petition IMMEDIATELY?
Politicians always listen better when they’re running for office. So NOW is the time to take action.
It’s an especially important time to make our voices heard because many establishment politicians have been shaken by Eric Cantor’s stunning primary defeat.
They know that if they continue to resist grassroots Americans, they run the risk of being “Cantor’d” themselves.
As Eric Cantor’s time in Congress comes to a close, he will continue as Majority Leader until July 31.
So he still needs to hear from you. Passing Audit the Fed would give him a chance to end his time in Leadership by doing what’s right for our nation’s economic future.
If you and I can FORCE Congress to Audit the Fed, the American people will finally see that the Federal Reserve System leads to:
***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.
Thanks to the hard work of good folks like you, Audit the Fed passed the House by an incredible bipartisan three-fourths majority in 2012.
Since then, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been our chief roadblock.
My son, Senator Rand Paul, has been doing everything possible to force the Senate on record on Audit the Fed - even holding up several of President Obama’s nominees to put pressure on Harry Reid to agree to a vote.
But there’s no doubt Senator Reid would begin to feel even MORE pressure to act once Audit the Fed passes the House in this Congress!
So now that a majority of the U.S. House has cosponsored H.R. 24, it’s time for House Republican Leadership to stop protecting Senator Reid and schedule an IMMEDIATE vote!
Once the bill passes the House, will Senator Reid and President Obama really be able to say “NO” to exposing the out-of-control Fed?
Well, 2014 is an election year. And Audit the Fed is supported by nearly 75% of the American people.
“Thanks” to ObamaCare, NSA spying, and a host of other issues, the political winds are already blowing against President Obama and Senator Reid.
If they want to add Audit the Fed to the mix, it’ll be their political funeral in 2014.
The American people are FED UP with Big Government politicians trying to run their lives. And more and more now understand Federal Reserve banksters aren’t running our economy anywhere but into the ground.
That’s why it’s so important you sign your petition to House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY.
With your help, Campaign for Liberty can fully implement a massive three-part plan to turn up the heat on Congress, including:
1) Using mail and email to contact millions of Americans from coast to coast to generate petitions just like these to Congress;
2) Working the talk radio lines and conducting interviews insisting that House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor stop protecting Harry Reid;
3) Launching an all-out Internet, email, and TV mobilization campaign to explain to the American people exactly why the Federal Reserve MUST be exposed.
So won’t you please sign your petition at once?
And, if you can, please agree to your most generous contribution, as well.
As it stands right now, Campaign for Liberty doesn’t have the money in the bank to fund everything that needs to be done.
And I know without funds, all our best-laid plans are nothing but words on paper.
So I’m counting on you to help me turn up the pressure on Congress. Won’t you please agree to a generous contribution of $30?
I know I’m asking you to stretch.
But I also know you understand just how important it is we finally Audit the Fed and EXPOSE the Fed’s track record of economic DESTRUCTION.
But if $30 is just too much, please give what you can.
Perhaps you can give $20 or $10?
Regardless of what you can give, just please act right away.
It’s time to turn up the HEAT on Congress like never before.
So please act at once!
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. Now that a majority of the U.S. House has cosponsored H.R. 24, the Audit the Fed bill, it’s time for House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor to stop protecting Harry Reid and schedule a vote!

Rand Paul endorses Steve Daines
From Senator Rand Paul:
There's no two ways about it...
...Montana's nationally-watched U.S. Senate race is central to the GOP's efforts to remove Harry Reid from power and stop President Obama's liberal agenda dead in its tracks.
That's why I'm writing to you today on behalf of Montana's Republican U.S. Senate candidate, Congressman Steve Daines.
I want to encourage you to join with me in whole-heartedly supporting his Senate campaign today.
Whether it's $2,600, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $70, or $35, your immediate gift will ensure Steve has the resources he needs to defeat the Reid-Obama-Democrats' handpicked opponent and join me fighting for limited government in the U.S. Senate in 2014.
Always true to his conservative Montana roots, Steve Daines is never afraid to vote his conscience – even when the leaders of both parties pressure him to throw in the towel.
So it's no surprise that from the moment he took office, Steve Daines has been a strong ally in the House.
He was among the first house members to support my filibuster against illegal domestic drone strikes, cast a "no" vote on raising the debt limit, and supports the full repeal of ObamaCare.
Steve Daines' 28 years of leadership in building businesses and creating jobs gives him invaluable experience in dealing with economic and spending issues that we debate in Congress.
And to show you just how committed he is to fixing America, the very first bill Steve ever introduced was the Balanced Budget Accountability Act, which would terminate pay for members of Congress each year they fail to pass a balanced budget on time.
Steve Daines has also proven himself an important ally for those of us who care about the 2nd Amendment, right to life of the unborn, energy independence, and much, much more.
But my friend, while the majority of Montanans support Steve Daines' honest conservative leadership, Harry Reid won't let this race slip through his fingers without a fight.
And he and the President are willing to use any and every dirty trick in the book to win...
...President Obama even went so far as to appoint retiring Democrat Senator Max Baucus Ambassador to China so Montana's Democrat Governor could appoint Steve's opponent to serve out the remaining year in office and get an unearned fundraising advantage in this race!
That's why it's so important for you and me to give Steve Daines an extra shot of support in his U.S. Senate bid today.
Make no mistake: the chances of the GOP retaking the Senate from Harry Reid without a victory in Montana are slim to none.
So regardless of the exact amount – be it $2,600, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $70, or $35 – Steve is counting on you to be as generous as we possibly can today.
I look forward to seeing your name on his list of top supporters very soon!
For Liberty,
United States Senator Rand Paul

P.S. Americans from my home state of Kentucky all the way to Montana who believe in limited government and liberty need Steve Daines in the U.S. Senate – especially with a GOP victory in this race giving us majority control!

Congress cuts funding for NSA spying
From Fight For The Future:
You did it! Late last night -- after they were bombarded by calls from FFTF members and many others -- the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to cut funding for some of the NSA’s most nefarious backdoor spying programs.
There’s no question about it. The tides are turning. We didn’t just win this vote, we won it by a landslide. 293-123.
Our movement is showing it’s power, and organized Internet users are once again proving to be a more formidable force than the U.S. government (or any of the pundits) expected.
Read more about what these amendments mean for you, and what the next steps are in our ongoing fight to end all forms of mass surveillance.
We still have a long way to go. No matter what happens in Congress, we will need to continue our Reset the Net effort to secure the web through technology. As we know all too well, governments often bend and break the rules they set for themselves, and so far the reforms on the table in Congress don’t do nearly enough to protect the rights of people outside the U.S.
But one thing is certain: we are gaining ground, and the NSA is losing it. We’re beating them back with technology, pushing politicians to cut their funding, and dragging their secretive programs out into the sunlight for all to see.
This vote in congress didn't happen by magic. So many of us have spoken out in the last year and made it clear in no uncertain terms that mass surveillance is not okay. Our movement has become too big for Congress to ignore. We forced them to go on record supporting change.
Click here to get the full story, and share this sweet victory with your friends.
We still have much work to do, but today is a day worth celebrating! More soon.
Sincerely,
-Tiffiniy, Holmes, and Evan

Public Advocate on all fronts
From Public Advocate:
Our battle against the radical Homosexual Lobby is raging on all fronts.
On the federal level, Public Advocate is working hard to ensure the Gay Bill of Special Rights never makes it to President Barack Obama’s desk for his guaranteed signature.
When the Gay Bill of Special Rights passed the U.S. Senate, the anti-Family forces expected the bill to clear the House and become the law of the land.
But thanks to good folks like you making their voices heard, the Gay Bill of Special Rights is stalled in the U.S. House -- for now.
At the same time, Public Advocate just launched a multi-faceted program in support of Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Mike Lee’s State Marriage Defense Act (S. 2024, H.R. 3829).
As currently written, this bill would prohibit federal bureaucrats from recognizing so-called homosexual “marriages” in states that have codified traditional marriage in their constitutions or laws.
This would be a huge step towards rolling back recent anti-marriage decisions and restoring the legal foundation of traditional marriage.
But Public Advocate isn’t just fighting to defend real marriage. We’re also engaged in a heated battle to defend religious liberties in America.
As I’m sure you’re aware, California’s 9th Circuit Court has launched an all-out war on ALL Christians by ordering the Mount Soledad Memorial Cross be ripped up and torn down.
Public Advocate is generating tens of thousands of Mount Soledad Cross Statements of Support from Pro-Family Americans urging Chief Justice John Roberts to review the 9th Circuit’s outrageous decision and overrule this blatant attack on our Christian faith.
Finally, I am currently drawing up a nationwide grassroots program to combat Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries’ (D-NY) dangerous “Hate Crime Reporting Act.”
This bill will give Eric Holder’s Justice Department a “blank check” to prosecute pro-Family and conservative groups -- like your Public Advocate -- just for their speech!
I hope you’ll continue to stand with me and Public Advocate as we fight on the forefront of critical issues threatening the institution of real marriage and Christian morality in America by clicking here to make a generous contribution of $15 or more.
I understand that’s a lot to ask, but it’s critical pro-Family Americans stand up and fight for our values now like never before.
So if $15 is too much, I hope you’ll at least consider contributing $10 or even just $5.
Any amount you can afford to give will help Public Advocate fight the anti-Family forces’ attacks on our traditional values.
Thank you for all you do.
For the Family,
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.
P.S. From fighting to defend real marriage to standing up for our religious liberties, Public Advocate is fighting the radical Homosexual Lobby on all fronts.
That’s why I hope you’ll agree to make a generous contribution of $15, $10, $5 -- or any amount you can afford -- to this fight.
Your generous contribution will help Public Advocate continue to stand strong and fight back against the radical Homosexual Lobby.
Our battle against the radical Homosexual Lobby is raging on all fronts.
On the federal level, Public Advocate is working hard to ensure the Gay Bill of Special Rights never makes it to President Barack Obama’s desk for his guaranteed signature.
When the Gay Bill of Special Rights passed the U.S. Senate, the anti-Family forces expected the bill to clear the House and become the law of the land.
But thanks to good folks like you making their voices heard, the Gay Bill of Special Rights is stalled in the U.S. House -- for now.

Force Harry Reid to schedule a vote on Audit The Fed
From Campaign For Liberty:
Even after almost six years of pumping U.S. dollars - created out of thin air - into the American economy, April’s jobs report showed that the American people are not benefiting from the recommendations of the so-called “experts.”
All the Fed’s quantitative easing was “supposed” to dig us out of the Great Recession long before now. . .
But another 800,000 Americans just dropped out of the labor force, leaving just over 60% of working-age adults with full-time employment - the lowest number since Jimmy Carter’s presidency.
So what’s the Fed’s solution?
More of the same. More “print-now, ask-questions-later” policies. More Federal Reserve-fueled dollar destruction. . .
More printing money to pay the bills - fueling our ever-growing $17.5 TRILLION in national debt, which threatens to wipe out every last shred of American wealth!
But the good news is - thanks to your support - Audit the Fed (H.R. 24) has reached 224 cosponsors in the U.S. House - a clear majority!
Now - with the November elections rapidly approaching - it’s absolutely critical you sign the petition to House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and your U.S. Senators I'll link to in just a moment!
As you’ll see, these petitions:
1) INSIST Republican House Leadership STOP protecting Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and schedule an IMMEDIATE roll call vote on H.R. 24; and
2) URGE your U.S. Senators to stand with my son - Senator Rand Paul - in his efforts to force the U.S. Senate on record on Audit the Fed.
Won’t you please sign your petition IMMEDIATELY?
Politicians always listen better when they’re running for office. So NOW is the time to take action.
It’s an especially important time to make our voices heard because many establishment politicians have been shaken by Eric Cantor’s stunning primary defeat.
They know that if they continue to resist grassroots Americans, they run the risk of being “Cantor’d” themselves.
As Eric Cantor’s time in Congress comes to a close, he will continue as Majority Leader until July 31.
So he still needs to hear from you. Passing Audit the Fed would give him a chance to end his time in Leadership by doing what’s right for our nation’s economic future.
If you and I can FORCE Congress to Audit the Fed, the American people will finally see that the Federal Reserve System leads to:
***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.
Thanks to the hard work of good folks like you, Audit the Fed passed the House by an incredible bipartisan three-fourths majority in 2012.
Since then, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been our chief roadblock.
My son, Senator Rand Paul, has been doing everything possible to force the Senate on record on Audit the Fed - even holding up several of President Obama’s nominees to put pressure on Harry Reid to agree to a vote.
But there’s no doubt Senator Reid would begin to feel even MORE pressure to act once Audit the Fed passes the House in this Congress!
So now that a majority of the U.S. House has cosponsored H.R. 24, it’s time for House Republican Leadership to stop protecting Senator Reid and schedule an IMMEDIATE vote!
Once the bill passes the House, will Senator Reid and President Obama really be able to say “NO” to exposing the out-of-control Fed?
Well, 2014 is an election year. And Audit the Fed is supported by nearly 75% of the American people.
“Thanks” to ObamaCare, NSA spying, and a host of other issues, the political winds are already blowing against President Obama and Senator Reid.
If they want to add Audit the Fed to the mix, it’ll be their political funeral in 2014.
The American people are FED UP with Big Government politicians trying to run their lives. And more and more now understand Federal Reserve banksters aren’t running our economy anywhere but into the ground.
That’s why it’s so important you sign your petition to House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY.
With your help, Campaign for Liberty can fully implement a massive three-part plan to turn up the heat on Congress, including:
1) Using mail and email to contact millions of Americans from coast to coast to generate petitions just like these to Congress;
2) Working the talk radio lines and conducting interviews insisting that House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor stop protecting Harry Reid;
3) Launching an all-out Internet, email, and TV mobilization campaign to explain to the American people exactly why the Federal Reserve MUST be exposed.
So won’t you please sign your petition at once?
And, if you can, please agree to your most generous contribution, as well.
As it stands right now, Campaign for Liberty doesn’t have the money in the bank to fund everything that needs to be done.
And I know without funds, all our best-laid plans are nothing but words on paper.
So I’m counting on you to help me turn up the pressure on Congress. Won’t you please agree to a generous contribution of $30?
I know I’m asking you to stretch.
But I also know you understand just how important it is we finally Audit the Fed and EXPOSE the Fed’s track record of economic DESTRUCTION.
But if $30 is just too much, please give what you can.
Perhaps you can give $20 or $10?
Regardless of what you can give, just please act right away.
It’s time to turn up the HEAT on Congress like never before.
So please act at once!
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman

Preserve your freedoms
From Rand2016:
Our national media, Washington, D.C. insiders and even my colleagues in Congress are already sniffing around . . .
They know Monday, June 30 is the next End of Quarter Fundraising Deadline. Immediately following, I must turn in my financial report for the last quarter.
With the November elections rapidly approaching, and several fights still raging before Congress, all eyes are on you and me.
The media and Washington, D.C. insiders know a big fundraising quarter for me would send a loud-and-clear message to President Obama and Big Government politicians in BOTH parties that the American people are insisting on a return to limited government and constitutional principles!
I can’t think of any more important message this election year.
But in order to send a message the D.C. establishment can't ignore, it's critical my End of Quarter Push raise $200,000 by June 30.
So won’t you please contribute as generously as you can today?
I know it’s hard to look at Washington, D.C. and be optimistic about anything when we’re constantly barraged with news about:
***Our federal government’s $17.5 TRILLION in national debt. In real terms, that’s over $220,000 for a family of four!
***The disastrous ObamaCare Law, which CBO reports say will cost $2.6 TRILLION we don’t have, 2.5 million jobs we need and still leave 30 million Americans uninsured!
***Government spying on American citizens, which has exposed a constant string of NSA abuses and outright disregard for our Constitution’s Fourth Amendment.
And I haven’t even mentioned new schemes still being considered before Congress!
The National Internet Sales Tax, which would dramatically hike taxes on many mom and pop small businesses, could still rear its ugly head before the 2014 elections.
News reports and Washington, D.C. whispers say immigration reform efforts – that still do virtually nothing to ensure proper border security – could also come up.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had enough of Washington, D.C. politicians trying to “solve” our problems for us.
Just recently, the Obama administration issued new regulations, “tweaking” their healthcare scheme to allow them to bail out insurance companies who lose money with BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars!
At the same time, news broke that the same administration that thinks it can run healthcare for ALL Americans was using secret lists to hide the fact that military veterans are forced to wait excruciating periods of time just to get medical care!
In fact, at least 40 American veterans died awaiting medical care at the Veterans Administration!
This is an OUTRAGE!
And now – in addition to spying on our phone calls and emails and assaulting our gun rights – the Department of Agriculture is launching a proposal to purchase its own submachine guns!
For what?
I won’t stand for this madness and I’m determined to fight.
That’s why this next End of Quarter Fundraising Deadline is so critical.
At a time when both Congress and the President have approval ratings in the basement, if I can show massive and growing support, it will help prove the American people are fed up with Big Government schemes.
I can’t think of anything more important this election year.
Whether it’s ObamaCare, gun control, government spying or our national debt, so much is at stake this November . . .
Will the next U.S. Congress be controlled by those who will kowtow to President Obama’s every wish?
Or will it be those who only throw up tacit opposition?
Or will it be controlled by those who think ObamaCare MUST be repealed and our remaining freedoms as American citizens are worth fighting for?
Your action today will help decide all of that.
Money talks in Washington, D.C.
Not just for the national media. Not just for Washington, D.C. insiders.
But also for those running for office.
A big fundraising quarter for me will also help show those candidates running for office that staying true to their word to stand up and fight for constitutional conservative principles as I’ve done is a sure way to get rewarded by grassroots patriots all over the country.
After all, I’m just one man. One U.S. Senator from Kentucky. At the end of the day, it’s really the millions of grassroots patriots like you who hold the power to turn our country around.
And despite all the madness we see in Washington, D.C., your action is making a difference.
Today, most political experts are predicting a BIG election for Republicans this November.
I hope they’re right.
But it won’t happen unless we fight back.
It’s going to take the hard work of every American to break the “consensus” in Washington, D.C.
The “consensus” that ObamaCare can never be repealed, that spending can only go up, never down, that Big Government governs best . . .
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Washington, D.C. more out of touch!
And because of that, I believe many of my colleagues are in for a rude awakening this November.
The good news is, you’ve proven you can make an enormous difference here in Washington, D.C.
For years now, you and I have fought to expose the madness coming from the Obama administration. Now polls seem to show the American people are coming to realize that you and I were right.
But our job is not over.
I need to show you’re still in my corner. The politicians in Washington, D.C. need to hear how fed up you are with their Big Government schemes. And with fights still raging in Congress, I believe we need to send that message well before November 2014.
So please chip in a contribution of $10 or $20.
That’s why your support today is so critical.
Please agree to chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 at once!
In Liberty,

P.S. June 30 is rapidly approaching. This is the End of Quarter Fundraising Deadline. Immediately following, I must turn in my financial report for the last quarter.

But politicians in Washington, D.C. have short memories. That’s why I need you to prove to them you’re still in my corner.

Very few Americans, despite having a country with millions of us, ever call their legislators. 100+ phone calls per office in Congress would blow people's minds. We receive that little contact from people despite each office representing 100,000s+ citizens. This is because so many people drink the kool-aid that they have no power or that money controls everything.
This is untrue. What happens is money wins when people never complain (to their legislators!).
- An ex-congressional employee
From Fight For The Future:
Last year, we were 12 votes shy of defunding the NSA's phone spying program's with a last minute amendment. Now we have a chance for another sneak attack, but we could have less than 24 hours to implement it and push it over the edge. Today or tomorrow, U.S. Congress will vote on an Amendment to the "must-pass" Defense funding bill that -- if it gets enough yes votes -- could close up the backdoors the NSA has been using to spy on all of us (1).
This is a significant silver bullet to disrupt the NSA’s blanket spying. But time is running out. Click here to take action right now!
This Amendment is different. It’s not a big clunky bill that we can expect to get watered down by the corrupt leadership of both parties, it’s more of a Congressional guerilla tactic. Rep. Zoe Lofgren is tacking this Amendment on to the Defense Appropriations Bill, a bill that basically has to pass. She’s forcing the question -- the Amendment basically says that the NSA can’t use any of the funds it’s given to conduct warrantless searches under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, and it also prevents them from building back doors into security products (2).
Congress doesn’t get many calls about amendments like this. Your voice matters! Click here to contact your reps.
Remember the Amash Amendment that no one thought had a chance, and then it almost passed and would have defunded some of the NSA’s programs? (3). If we can flood Congress with calls and emails right now, we can cut off one of the NSA’s octopus arms, and actually stop them from using our own tax dollars to spy on us. The vote could happen as early as this afternoon.
Click here to to demand that Congress protect our rights and shut the backdoor the NSA has been using to invade our lives.
We’re busy building the next phase of Reset the Net, our ongoing campaign to rid the Internet of mass surveillance through the massive spread of encryption technology, but in the meantime, this is a quick, easy, and satisfying way to make another dent in the NSA’s armor.
Thanks for all that you do,

P.P.S. Right now, only people who are in the U.S. can call to help this Amendment pass, but this affects all of us regardless of where we live. Not in the U.S.? Please share the page on social media, and get tools to protect yourself at http://pack.resetthenet.org
This is untrue. What happens is money wins when people never complain (to their legislators!).

From Fight For The Future:
Last year, we were 12 votes shy of defunding the NSA's phone spying program's with a last minute amendment. Now we have a chance for another sneak attack, but we could have less than 24 hours to implement it and push it over the edge. Today or tomorrow, U.S. Congress will vote on an Amendment to the "must-pass" Defense funding bill that -- if it gets enough yes votes -- could close up the backdoors the NSA has been using to spy on all of us (1).
This is a significant silver bullet to disrupt the NSA’s blanket spying. But time is running out. Click here to take action right now!
This Amendment is different. It’s not a big clunky bill that we can expect to get watered down by the corrupt leadership of both parties, it’s more of a Congressional guerilla tactic. Rep. Zoe Lofgren is tacking this Amendment on to the Defense Appropriations Bill, a bill that basically has to pass. She’s forcing the question -- the Amendment basically says that the NSA can’t use any of the funds it’s given to conduct warrantless searches under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, and it also prevents them from building back doors into security products (2).
Congress doesn’t get many calls about amendments like this. Your voice matters! Click here to contact your reps.
Remember the Amash Amendment that no one thought had a chance, and then it almost passed and would have defunded some of the NSA’s programs? (3). If we can flood Congress with calls and emails right now, we can cut off one of the NSA’s octopus arms, and actually stop them from using our own tax dollars to spy on us. The vote could happen as early as this afternoon.
Click here to to demand that Congress protect our rights and shut the backdoor the NSA has been using to invade our lives.
We’re busy building the next phase of Reset the Net, our ongoing campaign to rid the Internet of mass surveillance through the massive spread of encryption technology, but in the meantime, this is a quick, easy, and satisfying way to make another dent in the NSA’s armor.

Defeat the Internet Tax Mandate
From RANDPAC:
Would you like to pay taxes to use services like Facebook, Google, iTunes, or Netflix?
How about paying even more taxes to help finance ObamaCare and other big-government boondoggles?
This could happen very soon, and it gets worse... much worse!
President Obama and the tax-and-spenders in Washington are gearing up to force through the Internet Tax Mandate.
Well, they aren't calling it that...
Those supporting this new tax hike and regulatory scheme are calling it the Marketplace Fairness Act in an attempt to hide its devious implications.
But make no mistake about it -- nothing about this big-government scheme is "fair."
The Internet Tax Mandate would allow states to force private companies to impose a sales tax on all online purchases.
This bill will create an online regulatory nightmare that will wreak havoc on small businesses to the benefit of large corporations and foreign competitors.
At a time when small businesses are already suffering under new regulations and higher taxes, the tax-and-spenders in Washington are gearing up to put them out of business altogether.
And to make matters worse, the politicians behind this scheme are plotting to sneak this through the House while you are enjoying your summer vacation.
Can I count on you to stand with us in the fight to keep the government from imposing a costly new tax scheme on the American people?
You see, instead of cutting spending to balance state budgets, the tax-and-spend politicians in both parties are looking to squeeze even more money from the American people.
And their plan is to force online retailers to moonlight as state tax collectors for all 50 states, regardless of whether or not they have a physical presence in the state.
This new type of sales tax bypasses current taxation restrictions and will open the door for even more taxation in the future.
I'll be fighting the Internet Tax Mandate the entire way, but I MUST have your support.
So please sign your "No Internet Tax" Petition to your representative TODAY.
And if possible, please chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 to help RANDPAC rally conservatives across the country to fight the tax-and-spenders.
We need to be lowering taxes, not raising them.
We need to get government out of the way so more jobs can be created, not have more government at the expense of the productive sector.
The last thing we need is more taxes, bigger government, and government control of the Internet.
You and I must protect our small business owners and our own pocketbooks from the tax-and-spenders in Washington.
It might seem like only a few pennies here and there, but it's much more than that.
The Internet Tax Mandate is the beginning of a larger government plan to take over the Internet.
And with President Obama throwing his weight behind this horrendous scheme, the fight just got a little bit tougher.
That's why it's vital you sign the "No Internet Tax" Petition IMMEDIATELY.
And I hope I can count on you to chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 to help RANDPAC endorse, support and elect constitutional conservatives to fight back against ANY new taxes.
You and I are running out of time to put together a solid defense against the Internet Tax Mandate.
So please take action TODAY.
This is a fight you and I can win if we stand together.
In Liberty,
Senator Rand Paul (R - Kentucky)
P.S. President Obama and his cronies are looking to tax and regulate the Internet.
You and I can stop him, but it will take all of the liberty-minded Americans we can reach.
So please sign your "No Internet Tax" Petition IMMEDIATELY.
And please chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 to help RANDPAC marshal conservatives nationwide through email, direct mail, online and social media ads.

A thank you from Ron Paul
From Campaign For Liberty:
Thank you!
When C4L President John Tate and I first discussed how to respond to the IRS' demand that we turn over information on our major donors, we both believed the majority of our members would want us to fight.
But we had no idea we would receive such tremendous support!
Thanks to the support of C4L members like you, we exceeded our Battle with the IRS blitz goal of raising $110,000!
I and everyone at Campaign for Liberty are grateful and humbled by this outpouring of support, and we are more determined than ever to not give in to the IRS. It is a fight we must wage and a fight we must win.
If the IRS is not challenged, they will use this precedent to intimidate every American who supports organizations dedicated to battling the statist agenda.
Fortunately, Campaign for Liberty has several legal precedents on our side and the support of liberty-loving Americans like you.
I will keep you informed of future developments in this ongoing battle.
Thank you once again for your support of Campaign for Liberty.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. Thanks to the overwhelmingly positive support for Campaign for Liberty's "Battle with the IRS" blitz, we exceeded our goal of raising $110,000!
Now we are more determined than ever to continue resisting the IRS' attempts to force us to divulge confidential donor information.
If the IRS is successful, this precedent will be used to cripple C4L and every other pro-liberty organization in the country.
Thank you again for your support of Campaign for Liberty.

Impeach Obama
From the Allen West Guardian Fund:
I want to get straight to the point and make this short and sweet.
I submit that Barack Hussein Obama's unilateral negotiations with terrorists occurred without consult from the U.S. Congress and resulted in the release of dangerous Al Qaeda leaders. These actions represent high crimes and misdemeanors against our nation and are grounds for impeachment.
I have called upon the leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives; Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to draft articles of impeachment because no one is above the law in America.
Do you agree? I need to hear from you in the next 24 hours.

Petition to impeach Obama
Impeach Eric Holder
From Public Advocate:
The Homosexual Lobby has organized one publicity stunt after another in our nation's capital this month.
They recruited the U.S. Color Guard to march for the first time in the D.C. homosexual “pride” parade last weekend.
A homosexual activist, the principal at a Washington area public school, promoted his homosexual lifestyle in front of young children and waved the "rainbow" flag in front of screaming pro-homosexual demonstrators during school hours.
And then the National Cathedral announced they will be hosting their first ever “transsexual priest” before the month is over.
But your Public Advocate is not backing down.
Public Advocate will be attending the Rally for the National March for Marriage on Thursday, June 19th.
This Rally on the Capitol steps will show our politicians that real marriage still matters.
If you are already planning on attending the National March for Marriage, or if you live within driving distance and decide to come, please let us know.
Email my staff at publicadvocateusaorg@gmail.com and they will give you all the details on when and how to get there.
While there, Public Advocate staff and volunteers will be collecting signatures for our Petition to Impeach U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
This Impeach Holder Citizens Petition campaign kicked off at the Roanoke, Virginia Civic Center and was a smashing success which must continue!
Our volunteers kicked off the first day of collecting signatures and we are still going.
There is something electric and genuinely American grassroots about publicly collecting thousands of signatures.
Over 2,000 Americans wore our "Impeach Eric Holder" lapel badge.
The national effort to Impeach Eric Holder as U.S. Attorney General is really picking up speed.
Americans are fed up with his lawlessness.
And our petition clearly communicates to your Congressman that we demand action.
If you haven’t yet, you can sign your petition to impeach by clicking right here.
For the Family,
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.
P.S. Will you chip in $5 or $10 to help fund Public Advocate's critical grassroots programs on behalf of real marriage and religious liberties?

Tell your Senators to support an up and down vote on Audit The Fed
From Campaign For Liberty:
In just a few hours, the U.S. Senate will vote on Stanley Fischer’s nomination to be Vice-Chairman of the Federal Reserve.
The Senate will also vote on Dr. Lael Brainard and Jerome H. Powell’s nominations to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
This gives us a great opportunity to force Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to finally hold an up or down, roll call vote on Audit the Fed.
So please contact your senators today and ask them to oppose all three nominees until Senator Reid agrees to hold a vote on Audit the Fed.
As you know, Senator Rand Paul has placed a hold on all Federal Reserve nominees in order to force Senator Reid to agree to hold a roll call vote on Audit the Fed.
On Tuesday afternoon, Senator Reid held cloture votes for these nominees. Once again, the only way he was able to get cloture was to violate the rules of the Senate requiring sixty votes to advance a nomination, instead proceeding with a simple majority.
None of the nominees got sixty votes, and Stanley Fischer only received 56 votes!
Violating the rules was the only way Senator Reid could win without holding a vote on Audit the Fed.
So all we need to do is convince seven senators to Stand with Rand (and the nearly 75% of the American people who support Audit the Fed) by voting against these three nominations until Senator Reid schedules an up or down vote on Audit the Fed!
The final confirmation vote will occur today, so I need you to call your senators immediately.
Click here to learn how they voted on Tuesday.
If your senator voted against cloture, tell them to keep it up and vote NO on all three nominees until Senator Reid holds an up or down vote on Audit the Fed.
But if your senator voted with the banksters, Wall Street special interests, and the big spenders who do not want the spotlight shown on the Fed’s policies, tell them you expect them to stand with the nearly 75% of Americans who support Audit the Fed by voting against confirming all Fed nominees until Harry Reid schedules a vote on Audit the Fed.
Stanley Fischer was already confirmed to the Federal Reserve Board last month, but the Senate must hold a confirmation vote on his nomination to be Vice-Chair.
Since Stanley Fischer is already on the Board, there is no reason for the Senate to not delay confirming him as Fed Vice-Chair until Senator Reid gives Audit the Fed its vote!
Campaign for Liberty members have flooded the Senate and the House of Representatives with petitions, emails, and phone calls demanding they support Audit the Fed.
As a result of your efforts, Audit the Fed once again has a majority of House cosponsors, and Senator Paul’s efforts to block all nominees to the Fed unless Senator Reid gives us a vote have been more successful than anyone predicted.
For a majority leader to have to break the rules to advance a Federal Reserve nominee would have been unheard of just five years ago.
Now we need to light up the Senate’s phones today to let senators know we expect them to side with the nearly 75% of Americans who support Audit the Fed.
I am confident we can win if Harry Reid allows an up or down, roll call vote.
You can bet Wall Street’s army of high-paid lobbyists is frantically working behind the scenes to pressure wavering senators to vote to advance these nominations without giving the American people the opportunity to learn the full truth about the Fed’s special deals and bailouts.
That is why it is crucial you call your senators today and tell them to vote NO on confirming any nominees to the Federal Reserve - including Stanley Fischer as Vice-Chairman - until Harry Reid schedules a vote on Audit the Fed.
And if you can, please chip in with a contribution of $50, $30, or even $10 to help Campaign for Liberty pass Audit the Fed.
In Liberty,
John Tate
President
P.S. In just a few hours, the Senate will vote on three nominees to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. And Senator Rand Paul is once again leading the opposition to the nominations to build support for S. 209, the Audit the Fed bill.
Your action today is critical to help us turn up the pressure on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to finally hold an up or down, roll call vote on Audit the Fed.
So please call your senators immediately and tell them not to vote to confirm any Federal Reserve nominee until Harry Reid holds a roll call vote on Audit the Fed.

Rainbow mafia threatens baker
From Public Advocate:
A Christian baker and his employees have just been sentenced to a re-education camp!
It’s unbelievable but true.
Colorado baker Jack Phillips has been targeted by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission for homosexual re-education and indoctrination.
Over the last year, a growing number of Christian-owned businesses have been persecuted and prosecuted for simply choosing to not participate in immoral homosexual “weddings.”
But this ruling is setting a new and very dangerous precedent.
It all started when Mr. Phillips and his bakery Masterpiece Cakeshop refused to make a wedding cake for a homosexual pair.
He explained to the potential customers that his convictions would not allow him to be a part of it.
And he believed that his choice to not do business was protected as a free American.
Little did he know that those freedoms are slipping away fast.
Like so many other Christian businesses across the country, he was targeted by the Homosexual Lobby and their bureaucratic allies for daring to say “no.”
The American Civil Liberties Union filed suit against him, arguing that homosexual entitlement trumps any religious or First Amendment rights.
And this complaint was taken up by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission (CRC).
These commissions have a long track-record of siding against religious liberty in the name of homosexual privilege.
So it was not a big surprise that the Colorado Commission sided against the Christian business owner.
But the extent of their ruling goes beyond anything ever seen.
Mr. Phillips and all his employees are now required to attend homosexual re-education -- and undoubtedly will be forced to verbally endorse homosexual “values” before leaving.
Masterpiece Cakeshop will also have to report to the CRC every three months for the next two years to make sure his Christian beliefs are not influencing his business again.
Like a paroled criminal, Jack Phillips will have to regularly check in and prove he is “behaving” according to their standards.
But the Homosexual Lobby picked the wrong baker to push around.
As of now, Mr. Phillips is refusing to back down on his business policies or comply with the Commission’s ruling.
He has said he will do whatever it takes to fight this injustice.
I am very grateful that Mr. Phillips is taking such a public stand against the Homosexual Lobby.
And Public Advocate will continue to do our part in his fight by holding off the Homosexual Agenda in D.C. and across America.
For the Family,
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO

Obama wants your guns
From The National Association For Gun Rights
After the recent California tragedy, a new fight over gun control is headed to Congress.
The absolutely critical 2014 elections are right around the corner, as well.
I could go on and on about why the National Association for Gun Rights’ Fill the Ranks FRONTLINE DEFENDER Push is so critical and why -- with the big giveaway we’re conducting right now -- there’s NEVER been a better time to sign up.
But don’t take my word for it.
Just listen to what the most pro-gun Members of Congress are saying . . .
“Without NAGR’s bare-knuckled, no-compromise tactics, I believe President Obama would have already succeeded in ramming gun control into law.”
-- U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT)
“National Association for Gun Rights’ FRONTLINE DEFENDERS continue to play a key role in the protection of our gun rights.”
-- U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY)
“I’ve seen the National Association for Gun Rights’ effectiveness fighting the Obama administrations attempted gun grabs . . .
“The best way you can be part of this winning team is by signing up as a National Association for Gun Rights FRONTLINE DEFENDER monthly contributor.”
-- U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)
I’m looking for as many patriots as possible to sign up for the National Association for Gun Rights’ FRONTLINE DEFENDER monthly-contributor program.
Can I count on you?
If you sign up today -- for as little as $10 per month – or $0.33 per day, your name will automatically be entered to win a Daniel Defense AR-15 with EOtech sights.
Not only that, but you’ll also be entered to win an all-expense-paid trip to the National Association for Gun Rights’ annual machine-gun shoot!
I’ll tell you more about that shortly.
But first let me explain exactly why this is so important . . .
The truth is, FRONTLINE DEFENDER monthly contributors are the National Association for Gun Rights’ backbone for three very important reasons:
1)FRONTLINE DEFENDERS’ monthly support means I don’t have to waste critical time raising money in order to respond to anti-gun legislative attacks.
Fights move at lightening speed in today’s political environment. Failure to remain on guard is a recipe for sure defeat in both federal and state legislative fights;
2)FRONTLINE DEFENDERS’ monthly support means I have some idea of future resources.
Quite simply, that means I’m never forced to “hold back” in a make-or-break fight. It also means I’m able to lay the groundwork for taking back Second Amendment freedoms we’ve lost over the years;
3)FRONTLINE DEFENDERS’ monthly support ensures the gun-grabbers WILL be held accountable this November for all their outrageous attacks on our gun rights.
Whether or not Harry Reid keeps his Senate Majority Leader position could hinge on just a handful of U.S. Senate races this election year. Any one of them could turn on a dime.
FRONTLINE DEFENDERS’ monthly support will help me ensure anti-gun politicians will have NOWHERE to hide from their records this November.
FRONTLINE DEFENDERS’ monthly support means I can respond to anti-gun threats like these at the drop of a hat.
Now is the best time to sign up as a FRONTLINE DEFENDER monthly-contributor.
To show you just how critical this program is, if you sign up today you’ll be automatically entered to win a top-of-the-line Daniel Defense AR-15 with EOtech sights.
But that’s not all.
By signing up right now, you’ll also be entered to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Colorado the weekend of July 26 for you and a spouse or friend.
There, you’ll visit National Association for Gun Rights headquarters, meet my staff and join us for our annual machine gun shoot.
Most Americans have never shot real machine guns because of the draconian laws and regulations that cover their ownership and use.
But now is your chance.
The FRONTLINE DEFENDER monthly-contributor program is the only one that I give away gifts for.
Signing up is fast, easy, safe and secure.
I know you’ll enjoy the gifts.
But most of all, I know you’ll enjoy the peace of mind knowing you’re doing all you can to protect the Second Amendment.

The absolutely critical 2014 elections are right around the corner, as well.
I could go on and on about why the National Association for Gun Rights’ Fill the Ranks FRONTLINE DEFENDER Push is so critical and why -- with the big giveaway we’re conducting right now -- there’s NEVER been a better time to sign up.

Campaign For Liberty battles the IRS
From Campaign For Liberty:
Our "Battle with the IRS" blitz ended last night at midnight.
But this isn’t the only letter we received from them this week.
In response to our letter to the IRS laying out our case for refusing to provide the confidential information they’re seeking, the IRS sent us a form letter telling us they’ll get back to us within 45 days!
So my staff and I have to be prepared for any outcome . . .
. . . while digging in against the statists on multiple pressing fights in Congress!
To help us effectively fight for freedom on a wide variety of fronts – while continuing to stand up to the IRS’ demands - we're extending our "Battle with the IRS" blitz until Tuesday at midnight.
Can I count on you to chip in to help us reach our goal?
If Campaign for Liberty loses this fight, it won't only be the names of our supporters they'll be after.
I'm confident it will ultimately set a precedent they can use to cripple opposition to Big Government by making every American afraid to take a stand for liberty for fear of having their information handed over to the IRS.
So please make the most generous contribution you can afford to our "Battle with the IRS" blitz today.
And please ask anyone you know who stands for freedom to join in, too.

Right to work victories
From The National Right To Work Committee:
The headlines have been stunning.
***SEIU Hit With Second-Biggest Campaign Finance Fine in Michigan History
***Wisconsin AFL-CIO Failed to Disclose Special Election Spending
***Big Labor, ‘Looking for Revenge,’ Expects to Dump $300 Million into 2014 Elections
And even so, they’ve barely scratched the surface of Big Labor’s forced-dues-funded election-year schemes.
Any day now, another headline may soon be spreading from coast to coast:
***Right to Work for All Civil Servants, Supreme Court Holds
The High Court’s term wraps up later this month, so a ruling in your National Right to Work Foundation’s Harris v. Quinn case is imminent.
A major Right to Work victory could “demolish a major source of funding and support for the Democratic Party,” one Big Labor apologist recently wrote.
But it’s a dangerous game to predict how the frequently cautious Supreme Court will rule.
That’s why Foundation staff attorneys are prepared to keep up the fight, especially as more and more stories come out this year exposing Big Labor’s corruption of our politics.
You see, during the last major election cycle, a Wall Street Journal report showed that, “the unions’ reports to the Labor Department capture an additional $3.3 billion that unions spent” on politics between 2005 and 2011 beyond their self-reported numbers.
And those staggering figures don’t even include Big Labor’s enormous local and regional political expenditures.
The fact is, as another election season shifts into high gear, Big Labor is once again pulling out all the stops.
Your help is vital right now to fight back against Big Labor’s multi-billion-dollar forced-dues political activism.
And Foundation attorneys tell me daily about ever more brazen examples of union boss forced-unionism misconduct.
Outraged workers are literally flooding our phone and e-mail systems with complaints of union boss abuse and requests for help.
With the election just around the corner, time is short.
If you and I don’t act, Big Labor will have spent all the workers’ money on politics before these workers can force them to give it back.
So it’s vital your Foundation be able to respond immediately to the flood of worker complaints with lawsuits, NLRB charges, Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaints, exposure in the media . . .
. . . Whatever it takes.
That’s why I am asking you to make a special contribution today to help the National Right to Work Foundation fight back.
With your help, the Foundation will be able to dramatically step up efforts to use legal action to block Big Labor’s illegal forced-dues-funded political electioneering.
A top Foundation priority for the rest of the year is to file new legal actions to force union officials to comply with prohibitions on collecting and using forced dues for politics.
You see, Big Labor is striving to undo recent Right to Work gains -- especially the passage of Right to Work Laws in Indiana and Michigan, as well as Wisconsin’s government-sector monopoly bargaining reforms.
That’s why in addition to spending hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars on U.S. Senate races, they’re scheming to take over state legislatures in all three states and governors’ mansions in both Michigan and Wisconsin.
Right to Work victories in Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin have begun to put a crimp in the forced-dues-to-politics pipeline.
But with billions of dollars at stake, the union bosses will stop at nothing to open the spigots all the way.
And they’ll have help.
As you know, union officials still have unprecedented access to a Big Labor-friendly White House and control of the U.S. Senate.
The fact is, President Barack Obama literally let top AFL-CIO union boss Richard Trumka handpick the new members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
That’s just one in a series of behind-the-scenes maneuvers the Obama Administration has made to reward its Big Labor benefactors, who unleashed another billion-dollar spending blitz two years ago to re-elect Barack Obama and lock in its majority in the U.S. Senate.
And even before that election was over, they were already scheming for 2014.
I hope you understand the real threat opponents of forced unionism face this year. I’m sure you must be as concerned as I am about the prospect of Big Labor’s forced-dues political machine targeting pro-Right to Work politicians in November.
With your help, the Foundation will:
***Prosecute cases against union officials who illegally seize and spend forced-dues money to get their cronies elected to positions of power.
***Protect popular state Right to Work laws that make union affiliation voluntary in 24 states. Union bosses are mounting end-runs around these laws and continuing to file nuisance lawsuits to block their implementation.
***Expose Big Labor’s misdeeds. Every time Foundation attorneys file charges against union bosses for breaking the law, misusing union dues or instigating violence against workers, the Foundation hammers the union bosses in the press for these ugly abuses.
The Foundation has been a much-needed watchdog against the union bosses countless times, including our recent victory for a New York teacher whose religious objection to union membership had been met with years of delay and law-breaking by local union officials.
In fact, no other nationwide organization is poised to stop Big Labor’s illegal use of workers’ forced-dues cash to advance its political agenda.
***It was our FEC complaint that led to a massive fine – the third largest in FEC history – against a Service Employees International Union (SEIU) front group.
***It was National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys who won the Knox case in 2012, when the U.S. Supreme Court held that union bosses must obtain the affirmative consent of non member public-employees before collecting fees for an “emergency” political slush fund in an election year.
***And Foundation attorneys were back at the High Court earlier this year and a ruling is imminent in our Harris v. Quinn case that could expand on that victory and stop the collection of all forced union fees from public employees.
Time and time again, the Foundation has been on the front lines against Big Labor’s schemes to buy elections with money seized from unwilling workers.
That’s why it’s vital you help the Foundation today. Would you take a moment right now to help with a timely contribution of $50?
Please consider making a gift that generous. But if $50 is more than you can spare today, then I hope you’ll consider a gift of at least $35 or $15.
With your help, Foundation attorneys will be fighting to block Big Labor’s illegal use of forced dues for politics wherever we find it.
Whether you can afford to give $50 or $35, or if for you a contribution of $15 is a sacrifice, the most important thing is to act today.
With so many challenges ahead of us, it is vital that we act immediately to stop Big Labor illegality.
Please make a generous, tax-deductible gift today.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix

Union dues will go into Hillary's election coffers.
From The National Right To Work Committee:
How'd you like to find a fat chunk ripped out of every paycheck to fund Hillary Clinton's campaign for President?
And if you dared to pipe up and say "NO!?"
Well, then you'd be FIRED. On the spot.
Concerned American, I know it sounds outlandish. And perhaps you won't believe me when I tell you this. . .
But for nearly 11 million American workers forced to pay union dues or lose their jobs, that's the harsh reality they face every single day.
But with the November 2014 elections rapidly approaching, there is a silver lining I need to tell you about today. . .
EXPOSING this ugly racket is a real nightmare for President Barack Obama and Big Labor.
And I'm counting on your action today to make their nightmare come true NOW -- before it's too late.
So won't you please sign the special END FORCED UNION DUES petition to your U.S. Representative and Senators right away?
Your signature is exactly what I need to prove to members of Congress that they MUST heed the American people's call and act to end forced union dues by passing Senator Rand Paul's National Right to Work Act (S.204).
But it's critical you act IMMEDIATELY.
I know you've heard a lot about crony "capitalism" and government-granted sweetheart deals in recent years.
But one of the biggest and ugliest versions is the one the union bosses' puppets hammered through Congress over seven decades ago.
That backroom deal included in FDR's National Labor Relations Act stripped American workers of the right to decide for themselves whether or not to join or pay dues to a union.
As a result, the union bosses rake in $8 BILLION every year in forced union dues from workers who would be fired if they didn't pay.
Then they spend over one BILLION dollars every election year perpetuating everything you despise about today's Washington, D.C., including:
*** The elections and reelections of forced unionism promoting politicians like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid -- all bankrolled by Big Labor's forced-dues coffers;
*** Skyrocketing taxes as forced-dues-funded government union bosses live high on the hog while the rest of America suffers, jobs are lost and more and more companies go out of business or move overseas;
*** Never-ending spending on Big Labor's favorite government programs, driving our national debt sky-high;
*** Bailouts and sweetheart deals for big companies with bloated union payrolls while smaller businesses -- too small for Big Labor organizing -- get strangled with government regulations;
*** The constant push for more Big Labor-backed social policy by union-label academics and politicians.
But there is good news.
Senator Rand Paul's National Right to Work Act -- which would finally end forced union dues nationwide -- is incredibly popular with the American people.
Polls show nearly 80% of the American people believe it's just plain wrong to force workers to pay union dues as a condition of employment.
So Concerned American, by helping today, you can strike a massive blow against ALL the madness this election year!
I believe if every member of the United States Congress has to go on record on the National Right to Work Act, Big Labor's puppet politicians will face sure defeat at the ballot box this November.
The fact is, that's exactly what's happened every time in the past 30 years when Congress has voted on a forced-unionism issue.
Every time.
If you and I can force a vote now, it will send shockwaves through the national political establishment.
Big Labor's forced-unionism privilege will be EXPOSED before the American people for the outrage it is.
And the politicians who support it WILL pay the price.
With the political winds blowing our way, you and I can take a massive step toward finally ending Big Labor's forced-dues-funded political empire.
I'll do all I can. Senator Paul will do all he can in the U.S. Senate.
But it won't happen unless you take action IMMEDIATELY.
I can tell you Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid isn't looking around for ways to ensure his political demise!
Sadly, many other members of Congress look at Big Labor's BILLIONS -- instead of the polls -- and cower in fear.
So it's up to you to stiffen their spines.
That's why your signed END FORCED UNION DUES petitions are so important.
These petitions are just a part of the impressive four-part plan the National Right to Work Committee is putting in place right now, including:
Contacting up to 10 million American citizens using a massive mail and email campaign to generate a tidal wave of END FORCED UNION DUES petitions to Congress;
Conducting an all-out media blitz using everything from talk radio to op-eds to cable TV political shows to get the word out to as many Americans as possible about Big Labor's outrageous forced-dues racket;
Using phone banks to flood Congressional offices with phone calls as we approach the final days before the vote;
Running hard-hitting TV and radio ads in targeted areas to turn up the heat on wavering Congressmen and Senators insisting they vote to pass the National Right to Work Act.
This massive program won't be cheap. In fact, the price tag stretches well into the millions.
But I believe the Right to Work MILLIONS can beat Big Labor's BILLIONS -- and break their stranglehold on Washington, D.C. -- if you're willing to act right away.
You see, politicians always listen better when they're seeking votes than when they're safely back in Washington, D.C.
So you and I can't let this opportunity slip by!
Won't you please agree to your most generous contribution of $500, $250, $100, or $50 to the National Right to Work Committee right away?
Even if all you can give is $25 or even $10, it would make a huge difference.
The National Right to Work Committee is one of THE most effective, feared and frankly HATED organizations in Washington, D.C.
We're hated because we care more about doing what works than being invited to the right cocktail parties.
So if you can help mobilize enough Americans to turn up the heat on Congress during the next few months, it could prove to be Big Labor's last stand.
After all, the political winds are already blowing our way.
Vulnerable Big Labor Democrats are already scared stiff about doing anything more to anger the folks back home.
So some may actually vote to end forced union dues!
But if others want to vote to KILL the National Right to Work Act, they can explain that to the nearly 80% of their constituents who oppose forcing workers to pay union dues or fees just to get or keep a job.
They'll pay the price and the country will move one step closer to passing it later on.
It's a win/win situation.
But it's up to you to help expose Big Labor's forced unionism pals so the American people can knock them down.
This is not an opportunity you and I can afford to miss.
So please sign your END FORCED UNION DUES petition and agree to your most generous contribution of $500, $250, $100, $50, $25 or even $10 to the National Right to Work Committee right away.
Your support for the National Right to Work Committee will make a real difference.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
President, National Right to Work Committee
P.S. Exposing Big Labor's forced-dues racket is the union bosses' and President Obama's worst nightmare.
With your help -- and the November 2014 elections right around the corner, that nightmare can come true.
So won't you please sign your END FORCED UNION DUES petition in support of the National Right to Work Act (S.204) and make your most generous contribution to the National Right to Work Committee right away?
Your support will make all the difference.
How'd you like to find a fat chunk ripped out of every paycheck to fund Hillary Clinton's campaign for President?
And if you dared to pipe up and say "NO!?"
Well, then you'd be FIRED. On the spot.
Concerned American, I know it sounds outlandish. And perhaps you won't believe me when I tell you this. . .
But for nearly 11 million American workers forced to pay union dues or lose their jobs, that's the harsh reality they face every single day.
But with the November 2014 elections rapidly approaching, there is a silver lining I need to tell you about today. . .
EXPOSING this ugly racket is a real nightmare for President Barack Obama and Big Labor.
And I'm counting on your action today to make their nightmare come true NOW -- before it's too late.
So won't you please sign the special END FORCED UNION DUES petition to your U.S. Representative and Senators right away?
Your signature is exactly what I need to prove to members of Congress that they MUST heed the American people's call and act to end forced union dues by passing Senator Rand Paul's National Right to Work Act (S.204).
But it's critical you act IMMEDIATELY.
I know you've heard a lot about crony "capitalism" and government-granted sweetheart deals in recent years.
But one of the biggest and ugliest versions is the one the union bosses' puppets hammered through Congress over seven decades ago.
That backroom deal included in FDR's National Labor Relations Act stripped American workers of the right to decide for themselves whether or not to join or pay dues to a union.
As a result, the union bosses rake in $8 BILLION every year in forced union dues from workers who would be fired if they didn't pay.
Then they spend over one BILLION dollars every election year perpetuating everything you despise about today's Washington, D.C., including:
*** The elections and reelections of forced unionism promoting politicians like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid -- all bankrolled by Big Labor's forced-dues coffers;
*** Skyrocketing taxes as forced-dues-funded government union bosses live high on the hog while the rest of America suffers, jobs are lost and more and more companies go out of business or move overseas;
*** Never-ending spending on Big Labor's favorite government programs, driving our national debt sky-high;
*** Bailouts and sweetheart deals for big companies with bloated union payrolls while smaller businesses -- too small for Big Labor organizing -- get strangled with government regulations;
*** The constant push for more Big Labor-backed social policy by union-label academics and politicians.
But there is good news.
Senator Rand Paul's National Right to Work Act -- which would finally end forced union dues nationwide -- is incredibly popular with the American people.
Polls show nearly 80% of the American people believe it's just plain wrong to force workers to pay union dues as a condition of employment.
So Concerned American, by helping today, you can strike a massive blow against ALL the madness this election year!
I believe if every member of the United States Congress has to go on record on the National Right to Work Act, Big Labor's puppet politicians will face sure defeat at the ballot box this November.
The fact is, that's exactly what's happened every time in the past 30 years when Congress has voted on a forced-unionism issue.
Every time.
If you and I can force a vote now, it will send shockwaves through the national political establishment.
Big Labor's forced-unionism privilege will be EXPOSED before the American people for the outrage it is.
And the politicians who support it WILL pay the price.
With the political winds blowing our way, you and I can take a massive step toward finally ending Big Labor's forced-dues-funded political empire.
I'll do all I can. Senator Paul will do all he can in the U.S. Senate.
But it won't happen unless you take action IMMEDIATELY.
I can tell you Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid isn't looking around for ways to ensure his political demise!
Sadly, many other members of Congress look at Big Labor's BILLIONS -- instead of the polls -- and cower in fear.
So it's up to you to stiffen their spines.
That's why your signed END FORCED UNION DUES petitions are so important.
These petitions are just a part of the impressive four-part plan the National Right to Work Committee is putting in place right now, including:
Contacting up to 10 million American citizens using a massive mail and email campaign to generate a tidal wave of END FORCED UNION DUES petitions to Congress;
Conducting an all-out media blitz using everything from talk radio to op-eds to cable TV political shows to get the word out to as many Americans as possible about Big Labor's outrageous forced-dues racket;
Using phone banks to flood Congressional offices with phone calls as we approach the final days before the vote;
Running hard-hitting TV and radio ads in targeted areas to turn up the heat on wavering Congressmen and Senators insisting they vote to pass the National Right to Work Act.
This massive program won't be cheap. In fact, the price tag stretches well into the millions.
But I believe the Right to Work MILLIONS can beat Big Labor's BILLIONS -- and break their stranglehold on Washington, D.C. -- if you're willing to act right away.
You see, politicians always listen better when they're seeking votes than when they're safely back in Washington, D.C.
So you and I can't let this opportunity slip by!
Won't you please agree to your most generous contribution of $500, $250, $100, or $50 to the National Right to Work Committee right away?
Even if all you can give is $25 or even $10, it would make a huge difference.
The National Right to Work Committee is one of THE most effective, feared and frankly HATED organizations in Washington, D.C.
We're hated because we care more about doing what works than being invited to the right cocktail parties.
So if you can help mobilize enough Americans to turn up the heat on Congress during the next few months, it could prove to be Big Labor's last stand.
After all, the political winds are already blowing our way.
Vulnerable Big Labor Democrats are already scared stiff about doing anything more to anger the folks back home.
So some may actually vote to end forced union dues!
But if others want to vote to KILL the National Right to Work Act, they can explain that to the nearly 80% of their constituents who oppose forcing workers to pay union dues or fees just to get or keep a job.
They'll pay the price and the country will move one step closer to passing it later on.

But it's up to you to help expose Big Labor's forced unionism pals so the American people can knock them down.

Support Trey Gowdy support the investigation
From Stop Hillary PAC:
The past 14 days, you and thousands of fellow Americans have shown an outpouring of support for both Trey Gowdy and the Congressional Select Committee's mission to find out the truth and demand justice for what happened in Benghazi.
But this is just the beginning...Trey Gowdy is in for a bigger fight than we could've imagined.
Let me explain.
The Clinton Dynasty has reared it's ugly head and it's only getting worse. As you are well aware, the Clinton's have a knack of getting away with everything, but we must ensure that isn't the case this time around.
Two years ago, four Americans were murdered in Benghazi.
Yet, instead of providing Americans with the truth about what happened that night, Hillary Clinton continues to work furiously to lie, throw up smokescreens, and distract from the truth.
Trey Gowdy is our best hope to finally get the answers Americans deserve, but he needs our help now more than ever. Chip in just $5 or more so we'll have the funds to support Gowdy and protect him from the Clinton media machine.
And here's why it's important: in advance lines of her new book, Hillary has the audacity to CONTINUE THE LIES!
She writes -- "There were scores of attackers that night, almost certainly with differing motives...It is inaccurate to state that every single one of them was influenced by this hateful video. It is equally inaccurate to state that none of them were."
That's right, Hillary is STILL BLAMING the YouTube video and clinging to the story that Benghazi was not in fact a PLANNED TERRORIST ATTACK ON AMERICA!
This is absolutely ludicrous -- Hillary lied and Americans died.
And as the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was responsible for all diplomats and Americans working in those facilities, yet she has taken zero responsibility for her actions.
Please we must stand up to these smokescreens and continue to expose Hillary for what she did and quite frankly, did NOT do.
Trey Gowdy is about to take on the Clinton Empire, and we need to show him he has our support. Please, follow this link to show your support today.
Sincerely,
Senator Ted Harvey

Stand up for limited government
From RANDPAC:
Do you want to wipe ObamaCare off the books?
Do you want the radical, out-of-control spending schemes in Washington, D.C. to stop?
Are you tired of politicians who believe you work for them instead of the other way around?
I’m sure the rapidly approaching November 4, 2014 elections have been circled on your calendar for months now.
But the truth is, your action today could help make even more of an impact for victory.
In just a moment, I’m going to give you a link to a special "Statement of Republican Principles."
My hope is you’ll agree to sign it right away to help ensure our Republican Party stands strong for the limited government principles you and I cherish this election year.
Over the next few months, my plan is to use RANDPAC to do everything I can to help elect a rock-solid, pro-limited government Republican Majority in the U.S. Senate.
Probably like you, I want so badly to believe the political “experts” who point to President Obama’s dismal 41% approval rating in a recent Washington Post/ABC News Poll and say November 2014 could be another tidal wave election like you and I saw in 2010.
But I’ve also seen a recent Rasmussen Poll that stated a clear majority of American citizens are disillusioned with members of both parties.
The American people aren’t stupid.
They understand it’s Big Government politicians in BOTH parties that have brought our nation to the brink.
That’s why, I believe as Ronald Reagan said it’s time for our party to “raise a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues . . .”
After all, Americans now understand where President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stand.
They stand for ObamaCare – which is costing jobs, sending health insurance premiums skyrocketing and lowering the quality of American healthcare.
They stand for misguided “environmental” policies that have DOUBLED the price of a gallon from $1.79 per gallon back in early 2009 to more than $3.65 today – despite a blooming energy boom in the United States!
They stand for collecting literally BILLIONS of phone and email records on American citizens every day.
Now, it’s time for Americans to find out where you and I stand.
I believe the way to victory is by showing the American people that you and I are different by standing firm on Republican principles, including:
>>>LOWERING TAXES AND SPENDING. High taxes and out-of-control-spending aren’t solving our problems. They’re the root cause!
>>>AUDITING THE FED. It’s time to expose the Federal Reserve’s secrecy and economic manipulation that leads to constant economic crises and dollar destruction.
>>>PROTECTING CIVIL LIBERTIES. Americans will not allow our federal government to run roughshod over our remaining freedoms in the name of “security. As Benjamin Franklin said, “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
>>>REPEALING OBAMACARE. This $2.6 trillion disaster stands to wreck our economy. The national Republican Party can and must stand by efforts to stop implementation at the state level;
>>>PROTECTING THE TENTH AMENDMENT. The national Republican Party should loudly stand with any efforts of states to take back control over their respective jurisdictions under the Constitution of the United States.
>>>PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY AND PROPERTY. We must work to stop infringements on our Second Amendment rights like the Feinstein Gun Ban, protect the unborn, and end the TSA.
If the grassroots can generate a flood of these petitions it will help ensure candidates don’t shrink away from the ugly lies and SMEARS you and I know will be coming from Big Government Democrats and their special interest pals.
There must be no waving the white flag this election year. PERIOD.
The American people are ready for a Republican Party that will boldly and unashamedly FIGHT for the principles they hold so dear.
If you agree, won’t you please sign it right away?
And secondly, I hope you’ll agree to chip in a contribution to RANDPAC to help me mobilize even more Americans from all over the country.
Your generous support will help me:
***Ensure the best pro-liberty candidates out there get the funds they need to fight back against attacks;
***Pay for hard-hitting emails and a flood of letters calling Big Government Democrats to the carpet for every one of the failed schemes we’ve seen them ram through Washington, D.C. over the past few years;
***“Take-no-prisoners” style TV ads, to ensure Big Government Democrats find nowhere to run for all the damage they’ve inflicted on our country.
But I’m afraid that can’t happen without your most generous support today.
Mail, emails and hard-hitting TV ads all cost money.
Depending on the size of the state, the kind of program I’m envisioning can be very expensive.
And I don’t want to take anything for granted.
So in addition to signing your "Statement of Republican principles," won’t you please agree to chip in a contribution of $10 or $20?
I know that’s much more than you’ve done in the past.
But the November elections are right around the corner.
I’m committed to doing everything I can to ensure victory. Today, I’m asking you to stand with me.
So please agree to chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 right away.
Please let me hear from you right away.
Your signed "Statement of Republican Principles" and chipping in a contribution of $10 or $20 could make all the difference for victory this November.
So please act at once.
In Liberty,
Senator Rand Paul (R - Kentucky)
P.S. I believe the key to victory this election year depends on standing bold for Republican principles.
If you agree, won’t you please complete your "Statement of Republican Principles" IMMEDIATELY?
Secondly, if you possibly can, please chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 TODAY!
Your generosity will help me pay for mail, email and hard-hitting TV ads in targeted U.S. Senate races to help ensure Big Government Democrats don’t get away with all the damage they’ve inflicted on our country!
Do you want to wipe ObamaCare off the books?
Do you want the radical, out-of-control spending schemes in Washington, D.C. to stop?

Campaign For Liberty stands up to the IRS
From Campaign For Liberty:
The message is loud and clear.
Of the tens of thousands of Emergency C4L Supporter Ballots received so far, a whopping 97% say Campaign for Liberty should STAND AND FIGHT the IRS' demand that we turn over sensitive contributor information.
So if they want a fight, let's give them a fight!
That's why we’re instructing our legal team to prepare for an all-out battle with the IRS, if it refuses to back down.
And that's also why I'm announcing our "Battle with the IRS" blitz starting today with the goal of raising $110,000 by next Friday, June 6, at midnight.
I'll give you the link to help out with this critical effort in just a moment. But first let me tell you why I believe this fight deserves your most generous financial support.
As a 501(c)(4) organization under IRS law, all Campaign for Liberty contributor information is supposed to be confidential.
This is a critical protection I wholeheartedly support.
But the IRS is demanding sensitive contributor information on Campaign for Liberty’s top donors, pointing to a rarely enforced and unconstitutional bureaucratic rule.
And they’re claiming we’re being fined for an “incomplete” return.
But I'm afraid the real reason is something far more sinister - our Liberty Movement is growing.
Only a few years ago, you and I were barely a “blip” on the political screen.
But there’s no denying things have changed, when you consider:
*** Audit the Fed is now a top issue in American politics, with the majority of the U.S. House signed on as cosponsors;
*** The bipartisan National Internet Tax Mandate and the National ID database scheme were supposed to sail through Congress, but you and I have so far held them both off;
*** More and more Americans now oppose radical federal government spying programs and - as we saw with Syria - are more skeptical than ever of foreign military adventurism;
*** Today, we see a growing crop of new Liberty Movement supporters such as Rand Paul (R-KY), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the U.S. Senate, and Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Justin Amash (R-MI) in the U.S. House.
Liberty-minded Americans’ efforts are at the heart of all this success.
And the statists know these are just the beginning stages of a massive nationwide R3VOLUTION that can usher in a new era of liberty and limited government in America.
That’s why we’re being targeted.
That’s why the statists in BOTH parties want so much to shut us up and shut us down.
But I'm not backing down.
I won't be bullied or intimidated by bureaucrats at the IRS.
Campaign for Liberty is going to fight back against the IRS with everything we've got.
And I'm counting on you to be in my corner.
That's why I hope you'll agree to make a generous contribution to our "Battle with the IRS" blitz.
As I'm sure you can imagine, a massive legal fight with the IRS won't be cheap.
On top of the outrageous, nearly $13,000 fine - with DAILY penalties - already levied against C4L, there's also the costs of legal fees, staff time, and other court-related expenses.
And the truth is, it's impossible to know how long this type of legal fight could go on.
So today, I must ask you to make a generous contribution of $15 to help Campaign for Liberty in this critical fight.
I know that’s a lot.
But this is the IRS we’re talking about. This is not a game.
In fact, I'm asking all Campaign for Liberty supporters to go above and beyond what they’ve done in the past.
This battle is just that important.
But if $15 is just too much, won’t you please agree to contribute $10 or at least $5?
Even if all you can do is chip in $5 right now, any amount you can afford to contribute will make a difference in this fight.
Not only will your contribution help C4L stand up to the IRS, but it’ll also help make sure we don’t have to cut back on our other efforts to do so.
This is the price you pay for daring to stand up to a federal government that wants to keep taxing, spending, and printing every American into the poorhouse.
But when it comes to protecting the privacy of Campaign for Liberty's contributors, it's a price I'm willing to pay.
So please make a generous contribution to our "Battle with the IRS" blitz right away.
Thank you in advance for your support.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman

Even if all you can do is chip in $5 right now, any amount you can afford to contribute will make a difference in this fight.
Not only will your contribution help C4L stand up to the IRS, but it’ll also help make sure we don’t have to cut back on our other efforts to do so.
This is the price you pay for daring to stand up to a federal government that wants to keep taxing, spending, and printing every American into the poorhouse.
But when it comes to protecting the privacy of Campaign for Liberty's contributors, it's a price I'm willing to pay.
So please make a generous contribution to our "Battle with the IRS" blitz right away.
Thank you in advance for your support.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. We're instructing our legal team to prepare for an all-out fight with the IRS, if it refuses to back down.
I won't be bullied or intimidated by bureaucrats at the IRS. Campaign for Liberty is going to fight back against the IRS with everything we've got.
I'm counting on you to help us fight back by making a generous contribution of $15, $10, $5 - or whatever you can afford - to our "Battle with the IRS" blitz.
