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
