The rainbow mafia goes after Public Advocate

From Public Advocate:

The deadline for Public Advocate's Religious Liberty Defense Fund to reach $30,000 is tomorrow.

You and I are facing a steep climb to keep Public Advocate's grassroots programs online through November's midterm elections.

Right now, my staff is conducting critical issue discussion in Congressional, Senatorial, and state-level races across the country.

Public Advocate's candidate surveys, constituent mailings, online campaigns, and other grassroots tactics force candidates to go on record on hot-button pro-Family topics.

But the Homosexual Lobby is fighting our efforts tooth-and-nail.

They know when we get a candidate to publicly support Real Marriage, Traditional Values, and Religious Liberty, it's far less likely they'll be convinced to betray their word.

Because the candidate knows Public Advocate will be there to hold them accountable for their double-talk.

That's why oftentimes the most expensive part of these programs isn't mailing costs, media airtime, or man hours, but the Homosexual Lobby's lawsuits.

My latest legal battle with the hyper-liberal Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has left me with over $300,000 in legal bills alone.

They used trumped-up charges to drag your Public Advocate to court to bleed us dry and drain resources from our fight to preserve American Morality.

That's why I launched Public Advocate's Religious Liberty Defense Fund to fight back against the SPLC and Homosexual Lobby's attempts to cripple our grassroots programs.

Can you give a generous gift of $15 to the Religious Liberty Defense Fund today?

If the Homosexual Lobby, the SPLC, and their anti-Family allies are successful in sabotaging our pro-Family campaigns, they'll use their expanding influence in Congress to ram through their radical agenda.

That means you can count on dangerous bills like the Gay Bill of Special Rights and the Homosexual Classrooms Act adding further restrictions on our Religious Liberties.

The Homosexual Lobby's thirst wasn't quenched with President Obama's Executive Order enforcing special-class status for homosexuals covering almost 20% of the entire U.S. workforce.

They demand 100% compliance. And they are 100% committed to criminalizing Christian opposition to their agenda.

Please click here to send your contribution of $15 right away.

I'm counting on my supporters to help Public Advocate reach our $30,000 goal by tomorrow.

So if you can't give $15, please chip in with a gift of $10 or $5.

Don't let the Homosexual Lobby and the SPLC criminalize our faith.

For the Family,

HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.

P.S. Public Advocate's latest legal battle with the hyper-liberal SPLC has left me with over $300,000 in legal bills alone.

That's why I designed Public Advocate's Religious Liberty Defense Fund to fight back against the SPLC and Homosexual Lobby's attempts to cripple our grassroots programs.

Can you give a generous gift of $15, $10, or even just $5 to the Religious Liberty Defense Fund today?

Atheists sic IRS on christian and conservative groups

From Public Advocate:

Have you seen this outrageous headline?
IRS Agrees to Atheist Group's
Demands to Monitor Sermons

An atheist-based group, Freedom from Religion Foundation, reached a settlement with the IRS to "monitor" what they vaguely call "rogue political churches."

The group asserts that these churches are violating their tax-exempt status by promoting political issues.

But what they really mean by "rogue political churches" is any church that exercises their freedom of expression.

Such as a pastor vocally supporting the traditional definition of marriage, or pro-Family values in general.

And the IRS unveiled a sneak peak of their definition of "monitor" in 2012, when the agency was caught red-handed unfairly targeting Christian groups and conservative-based organizations.

With the Obama administration calling the shots, I must admit this plan could have devastating consequences for churches nationwide.

I've designed a program to counter these dire threats, but Public Advocate must reach our $30,000 goal by tomorrow, July 31st.

That is why I must ask you to help boost Public Advocate's Religious Liberty Defense Fund with a generous contribution IMMEDIATELY.

You see, the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) is the same group that has launched an all-out campaign to rip up and tear down the Mt. Soledad Cross.

They have even gone as far as attacking prayer offerings at local City Council meetings.

The FFRF has one mission: attack our faith at all costs.

Make no mistake, the IRS' agreement with the radical FFRF means Christian churches better sleep with one eye open.

These unconstitutional restrictions are intended to intimidate and harass churches just for expressing their beliefs.

And the IRS' agreement only reinforces the pattern of hostile behavior we've seen the Obama administration wage against religious institutions.

That's why your action today is so critical.

I've budgeted an aggressive program to raise $30,000 by tomorrow, July 31st, to fight back.

Please help Public Advocate's Religious Liberty Defense Fund by making a generous contribution right away.

Right now, Christian business owners are being forced into re-education programs for refusing to affirm homosexual "marriage."

Armed Service members. Schools. Churches. Everyday Americans like you and me have had our Religious Liberties sacrificed.

Will you please agree to chip in a contribution of $20 right away to help fuel Public Advocate's Religious Liberty Defense Fund?

My staff stayed up all night crunching the numbers, and we're still short of the $30,000 we need to raise.

If $20 is just too much, will you please agree to chip in a contribution of $10 or even $5 immediately?

Any amount you can give to help get our Religious Liberty Defense Fund up and running is a blessing.

So please help Public Advocate's Religious Liberty Defense Fund by making a generous contribution today!

For the Family,

HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.

P.S. An atheist-based group, Freedom from Religion Foundation, reached a settlement with the IRS to lay out a detailed plan to "monitor" what they vaguely call "rogue political churches."

With the Obama administration calling the shots, I must admit this plan could have devastating consequences for churches nationwide.

I've budgeted an aggressive program to fight back, but I'm still short of reaching our $30,000 goal by tomorrow July 31st. So please help Public Advocate's Religious Liberty Defense Fund by making a generous contribution right away.

Protect Net Neutrality protest the Time Warner/Comcast merger

From Free Press Action Fund:

Comcast treats its customers so horribly that folks are now documenting their experiences with the company. Perhaps you've heard the excerpt from that epic phone call where the company refused to let a customer cancel his service?

And both Comcast Doesn't Give a F*CK3 (NSFW, language!) and Last Week Tonight With John Oliver4 have skewered Comcast's terrible tactics.

It seems like everyone has a story about how awful Comcast is. And since the company's pulling out all the stops to sell its merger with Time Warner Cable, it's more important than ever for people like you to speak out about how bad Comcast really is.

What's your story? Tell the FCC why you oppose this merger.

We will deliver your comments to the Federal Communications Commission, which has the power to block this merger. Comcast's shelling out millions of dollars to push this deal, and it's crucial that Washington decision-makers hear your stories before they make up their minds.

Comcast has the worst track record: Horrific customer service. Constant rate hikes. Net Neutrality violations. It's no wonder the public recently voted it the Worst Company in America (for the second time).

We can't let Comcast get any bigger. Speak out and tell the FCC what you think.

Together we can stop this merger.

Thanks for all that you do—

Mary Alice, Candace, Misty and the rest of the Free Press team
freepress.net

P.S. We're working round the clock to stop this merger. Help support our campaign with a donation of $10 (or more!) today. Thank you!

Repeal Obamacare

From RandPAC:

Is the fight to repeal ObamaCare over?

Is this disastrous law – that's driving up health insurance premiums, costing jobs and wrecking our economy – now cemented in the federal law books forever?

I can't tell you how many times I've read news headlines in the press over these past several weeks that some even in my own party are just "giving up!"

Well, as far as I'm concerned, this fight is NOT over.

In fact, I believe this November could be a major turning point in this battle!

And if you agree, I need to hear from you right away.

If you still believe – like I do – that we simply cannot rest until ObamaCare is repealed, won't you please sign your "Stand With Rand® to Repeal ObamaCare" petition IMMEDIATELY?

I know exactly what our media is trying to do with their flood of stories in recent weeks.

It's to make people forget all about, "If you like your health insurance, you can keep it." It's to take what should be the most powerful issue in the 2014 elections off the table.

You and I can't let them.

As a practicing ophthalmologist for 17 years – specializing in cataract and glaucoma surgeries, LASIK procedures, and corneal transplants – the ObamaCare issue really hits home for me.

In fact, ObamaCare was a key reason I decided to run for the U.S. Senate in 2010. But whenever my schedule permits, I still perform free cataract surgeries for those without health insurance.

Sadly, many Americans who used to be happy with their health insurance are now finding themselves in that boat.

And as Forbes estimates, between six and seven million Americans have lost their health insurance due to ObamaCare.

So much for President Obama's false assurances. Now, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office states that four million Americans will be forced to pay ObamaCare penalties!

I'm not sure there's any greater symbol of Washington, D.C.'s utter incompetence than the disaster you and I see unfolding with ObamaCare.

I know we're constantly told that politicians and bureaucrats know best. I know we're constantly told that if we'd just give up more of our freedom, then Washington, D.C. can "fix" our lives for us.

But it's exactly this kind of hubris that's brought our nation to the brink.

Today, our massive $17.5 TRILLION national debt continues to skyrocket as we see ObamaCare making our economic and healthcare problems even worse, including:

*** ObamaCare's $2.6 TRILLION in spending of money we don't have that will do absolutely NOTHING to improve American healthcare. In fact, the Congressional Budget Office reports that ten years from now, 31 million Americans will still be without health insurance!

*** Lost jobs and cut back hours as employers are forced to look for ways to keep their doors open while facing ObamaCare's tax and regulatory nightmare. Hardworking families, struggling to make ends meet, bear the brunt of it all.

*** Nearly 40% of American citizens out of the labor force – the highest number since the Carter presidency. In fact, our national economy shrank during the first quarter of 2014. Another quarter of negative growth will meet the economic definition of a recession.

As far as I'm concerned, the American people don't need to wait around for a government official to tell them things are bad. They already know it. They already feel it.

But instead of working to lighten government's load on the American people, the Obama administration is using little-known provisions in ObamaCare to bail out insurance companies with BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars.

That's why, just months ago, some Democrats were predicting the ObamaCare fiasco was going to "hit the fan” in November 2014 – and were desperately working to find some bipartisan "solution" to protect them against the American peoples' wrath at the ballot box.

As far as I'm concerned, the only solution is repeal. 100% repeal.

But now, some press reports are saying some members of my own Republican Party are giving up? Some of my colleagues are saying repealing ObamaCare is just "too hard?"

I guess they think the American people want mealy-mouthed policies and Big Government "compromise." But I think the American people want Washington, D.C. to stop making their lives harder!

Today, despite an all-out taxpayer-funded PR blitz by the Obama administration, polls show a clear majority of Americans oppose ObamaCare.

So I need you to help me stiffen my colleagues' spines and put every politician in Washington, D.C. on notice that you and I will not rest until ObamaCare is wiped off the books.

I'm afraid, without your action, our national media will get away with blurring the lines between all the damage President Obama and the Democrats have inflicted on our country and the limited government solutions I want our Republican Party to start offering.

I can't begin to explain what a DISASTER that would be.

If somehow Democrats don't pay a price in November 2014, I'm afraid ObamaCare will become even more cemented in federal law.

But if Republicans campaign loudly and clearly against this horrific healthcare scheme and triumph this November, I believe ObamaCare's days will be numbered.

That's why your action today is so critical.

Please sign your "Stand With Rand® to Repeal ObamaCare" petition right away. And if you possibly can, please agree to chip in whatever you can TODAY.

Using mail, email, Internet ads and phone banks, my hope is to mobilize an army of Americans nationwide who – like me – insist on nothing less than 100% repeal of ObamaCare.

The petitions I generate from these liberty-loving Americans will help me as I fight to ensure my Republican Party stays 100% committed to ObamaCare repeal AND ensure Democrats have nowhere to run from the national healthcare disaster they've caused as November 2014 approaches.

But I can't do it without your support.

So in addition to your signed "Stand With Rand® to Repeal ObamaCare" petition, won't you please agree to chip in a contribution of $20 at once?

I know that's a lot – it's much more than you've given in the past.

But I believe November 2014 will be a turning point in our fight against President Obama's national healthcare takeover.

Either you and I will take a massive step toward wiping this law off the books. Or ObamaCare will become even more entrenched in federal law. Those are the stakes.

But if $20 is just too much, won't you please agree to chip in a contribution of $10 or $5 right away?

I'm not about to give up this fight.

If you agree, please stand with me today. Please agree to chip in a contribution of $20, $10 or at least $5 TODAY!

In liberty,

Senator Rand Paul (R - Kentucky)

P.S. If somehow Democrats don't pay a price in November 2014, I'm afraid ObamaCare will become even more cemented in federal law. But if Republicans campaign loudly and clearly against this horrific healthcare scheme and triumph this November, I believe ObamaCare's days will be numbered.

But I need your help today to ensure our Republican Party stays 100% committed to wiping ObamaCare off the books!

So please sign your "Stand With Rand® to Repeal ObamaCare" petition right away. And if you possibly can, please agree to chip in a contribution of $20, $10 or at least $5 TODAY.

Tell Congress to hold unions accountable for their crimes



From The National Right To Work Committee:

Union bosses consider themselves above the law -- because they are -- thanks to the notorious Supreme Court Enmons decision.

Ever since that infamous decision in 1973, union bosses have been granted immunity from prosecution for acts of violence and vandalism they orchestrate in the so-called "pursuit of legitimate union objectives."

This outrageous loophole in federal law has effectively tied the hands of federal law enforcement officers and has permitted union bosses and their handpicked "enforcers" to achieve their union goals – by any means necessary.

But you and I have an opportunity to put an end to all this.

Senator David Vitter recently introduced the Freedom From Union Violence Act (S. 2535), to close this loophole in federal law.

It's no secret union bosses are all too happy to use violence and terror to achieve their number one goal: force more and more working men and women into paying union dues.

You and I need to make sure union bosses and their henchmen are subject to the same laws as every other lowlife and criminal.

That's why the Freedom From Union Violence Act must be a top priority in Congress.

But to make this happen I'm going to need your help.

First, will you sign the petition to your Congressman and Senators urging them to co-sponsor and vote for the Freedom From Union Violence Act?

If we are going to force the politicians in Washington to stand up to the union bosses and end this legalized union terrorism once and for all, it will take an army of concerned and committed Americans just like you.

You see, unless the politicians in Washington are forced to pay attention, they will continue to turn a blind eye to the violence committed by their union boss patrons.

With your help, we hope to contact millions of Americans who are outraged union bosses have the green light to act like they're above the law.

So after you sign your petition, I hope you'll chip in with a contribution of $10 or more o the National Right to Work Committee so we can mobilize the grassroots army needed to finally plug this Big Labor loophole of violence.

Your contribution will also help pay for costly radio, T.V., and newspaper advertising, which, if funds allow, we hope to run in swing states and districts calling on politicians by name to support the Freedom From Union Violence Act.

But most importantly please sign the petition at once.

With your help we will put an end to Big Labor's terror tactics once and for all.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. Senator David Vitter has introduced the Freedom From Union Violence Act (S. 2535) to finally close the loophole that exempts union bosses and their handpicked "enforcers" from federal prosecution for violent acts which would send any other brutal thug or criminal to jail.

So please, sign the petition demanding your Congressman and Senators cosponsor and vote for the Freedom From Union Violence Act.

Let's make the politicians in Washington explain to their constituents why violent union officials should be allowed to get away with murder.

Preserve Net Neutrality

From Fight For The Future:

We had a huge showing for real net neutrality last week -- more than 1 million people submitted comments to the FCC, and millions more spoke out through petitions, phone calls, and creative protests.

Our tiny team of staff and volunteers worked round the clock in the days leading up to the comment deadline, and when the dust settled we had personally delivered 130,000 comments to the FCC in just 3 days. That’s more than 1/3 of all the comments delivered during that time!

I’m so proud of all of you. Our little organization is giving these Big Cable bullies a run for their money!

But with the kind of money they’ve got, we can’t afford to just keep fighting, we’ve got to take this to the next level and get the whole Internet organized for a crucial day of action this September before the FCC’s decision.

Please chip in today to help us win the battle for net neutrality.

Last year, corporations that oppose net neutrality spent more than $1.4 million EVERY WEEK on lobbying.That’s more than Fight for the Future’s entire yearly budget. For two years!

We’ve been winning campaigns since SOPA on the same formula: we keep our team small and our costs low, we focus on strategy, and we’re not afraid to say what must be said and go all out when the time is right.

This Fall the FCC will either decide to protect the Internet or fundamentally break it. We’re going to do everything in our power to make sure the people win. Will you help?

Please click here to donate what you can.

The most exciting thing about this fight is that we’re not just trying to stop a bad bill like SOPA. If we succeed in getting the FCC to reclassify the Internet and enact real net neutrality, we’ll be protecting the Internet as a platform for the public good for generations to come.

Defeat Harry Reid's attempt take our guns

From RandPAC:

Harry Reid tried to pull one of the oldest tricks in Washington.

Recently, a few red state Democrats facing tough re-elections co-sponsored a "Sportsmen's Bill."

But this so-called pro-gun bill was nothing of the sort.

It was merely a prop for Democrats in pro-gun states to wave around to promote their Second Amendment credentials.

So I proposed a number of amendments that would put some teeth into this empty vessel and transform it into true pro-gun legislation.

My amendments to lift gun control in the District of Columbia would have:



<< Repealed the registration requirement.




<< Ended the ban on semi-automatic rifles and so-called "high capacity magazines."




<< Extended the right to carry firearms outside residents' homes and ended the ban on carrying firearms on federal lands in D.C.




But rather than pass real pro-gun legislation, the Senate spiked this "Sportsmen's Bill."



The signal from this vote was broadcast loud and clear: no gun rights legislation in Harry Reid's Senate.



He's only interested in legislative smoke-and-mirrors to preserve the anti-gun majority he presides over.



If you and I are going to advance the cause of Second Amendment rights, we're going to have to change Senate leadership.



That's why I hope you'll sign your "No Gun Control" petition today.



Send a message to Harry Reid and the rest of the Democrats running scared for re-election that America's pro-Second Amendment majority is prepared to strike back this November.



In liberty,



Senator Rand Paul



P.S. Harry Reid and the rest of the Democrats shot down the so-called "Sportsmen's Bill" rather than hold votes on my gun rights amendments.



To help RANDPAC in the fight to remove Harry Reid as Majority Leader, please sign your "No Gun Control" petition today!

Support FREE support liberty

From The Foundation For Rational Economics And Education:

If you believe the mainstream media, John McCain and William Kristol and liberal Keynesians like Janet Yellen and Paul Krugman supposedly disagree on just about everything.

After all, as the media tells it, McCain and Kristol are “neoconservative” supporters of aggressive government abroad and small government at home.

Yellen and Krugman are supposedly liberal Keynesians who prioritize domestic welfare over international warfare.

But the truth is all four support both welfare and warfare spending. They just disagree over “details” - like whether we should spend more on warfare than welfare, which countries to bomb, and whether we should stick with ObamaCare or adopt “ObamaCare lite.”

And they all agree that anyone who dares to make a principled case for eliminating the welfare-warfare state and the Federal Reserve’s fiat money system (which makes it possible for politicians to spend unlimited amounts on war and welfare) should be silenced.

That’s why McCain, Yellen, Kristol, and Krugman would all be uncorking their top-shelf champagne if my Foundation for Rational Economics and Education (FREE) were forced to close its doors.

Today, I’m writing to ask you to help me stop that from happening.

Since I founded it in 1976, FREE has fought statism in all its forms — standing firm for liberty and limited government.

But sadly, as I write you today, FREE’s bank accounts have dwindled to virtually nothing.

I hope you agree that you and I cannot stand by while FREE closes its doors.

Instead, my hope is that if I have your support today, I can expand all of FREE’s most important programs.

So won’t you please agree to your most generous tax-deductible gift of $500, $250, $100, $50, or $25 right away?

As you may know, I founded FREE in 1976 during my first term in Congress when I served on the House Banking Committee.

My hope was to spread economic understanding - and restore Americans’ belief in limited government and free markets.

It has been a wild ride since those early days. Since FREE’s founding, we’ve experienced:

*** The energy crisis and economic malaise of the Carter years;

*** The massive deficits of the 1980s;

*** The widespread acceptance of crony capitalism as an economic model in the 1990s;

*** The never-ending wars and the Federal Reserve-created housing bubble and financial collapse of the 2000s, as Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress and the White House for the first time since the 1950s - and promptly proceeded to betray the principles that brought them to power.

The great news is that the American people are fed up with government that has become so destructive and out of control.

We’re approaching $17.6 TRILLION in debt. Drones are flying over American cities. The NSA is spying on our phone records and emails, completely shredding the Fourth Amendment.

The Afghanistan and Iraq Wars rank first and second as the longest wars in American history.

Today more Americans than ever are interested in the principles FREE has so forcefully stood for all these years.

Our time has come!

That’s why I believe FREE’s most important work still lies ahead.

FREE can do this important work only if I have your support, so please send your generous tax-deductible gift of $500, $250, $100, $50, or $25.

For four decades FREE has been working, often behind the scenes, to help grow what is now called the “liberty movement.”

FREE has sponsored and continues to sponsor a number of important programs to promote the ideas fueling our rEVOLution, including:

>>> Distributing my weekly Texas Straight Talk column, publishing my monthly Freedom Report, running my weekly column’s telephone hotline;

>>> Publishing and distributing books (including my 2007 A Foreign Policy of Freedom), pamphlets, and short papers explaining Austrian Economics, monetary policy, the folly of our interventionist foreign policy, and other vital issues;

>>> Providing support for numerous Liberty Caucus events on Capitol Hill, bringing in speakers to staff and Member events; Organizing conferences and seminars over the years.

Last year, FREE launched what may be its most ambitious project to date — The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity.

Headed by my long-time Congressional aide Daniel McAdams, the Institute focuses exclusively on two of the areas closest to my heart: non-interventionism overseas and defense of civil liberties at home.

The Institute’s board includes my old friends Judge Andrew Napolitano, Rep. Walter Jones, Professor Robert Higgs, and many more.

In addition to challenging the neocons and their mainstream media enablers, the Institute plans a number of educational programs including a summer school for college students, a young communicators program, a publishing program producing both original works and antiwar classics, and a series of seminars and symposia.

With FREE’s support, the Ron Paul Institute has come a long way in its short life.

But for FREE and the Ron Paul Institute to continue their critical work publishing hard-hitting articles, ramping up our web presence, and flooding friendly websites with cutting-edge original material, I simply must be able to count on your support.

So please agree to your most generous tax-deductible donation of $500, $250, $100, or even $50 right away.

It seems like ever since the Ron Paul Institute’s founding, neocons have been busy launching smear campaigns designed to snuff out their critical work.

Even some so-called “libertarians” have joined in the attacks on FREE over the years!

You see, statists do not want any independent voice opposing the bipartisan consensus in favor of unlimited war and continuing infringement on our liberties in the name of “national security.”

And you can bet the banksters, Wall Street firms, and big-spending politicians that benefit from the crony capitalism, welfare-warfare spending, and the fiat currency system that makes it all possible are not happy about my plans to expand FREE’s programs.

If FREE cannot raise the resources to continue and expand our programs, I am afraid the neocons and the Keynesians will win the battle of ideas . . .

That will doom our liberty movement at a time when our rEVOLution is making more progress than ever!

I’ve seen our liberty movement grow tremendously just over the past few years.

I want to watch it continue to grow.

I want Big Government to come to a hard and fast end. I want an end to the wars overseas and the violations of our civil liberties at home.

But I know that – without our action – it could be our freedoms that we see vanish into thin air.

So won’t you please agree to your most generous gift of $500, $250, $100, $50, or $25 right away?

Please agree to act today.

For Liberty,

Dr. Ron Paul

P.S. As I write you today, the Foundation for Rational Economics and Education’s (FREE) bank accounts have dwindled to virtually nothing.

I’m sure the Big Government establishment in Washington, D.C. would love to see FREE wiped off the political map.

But I hope you agree that you and I cannot let that happen. The work FREE does is just too important.

So please agree to your most generous contribution of $500, $250, $100, $50, or $25 right away.

Support the Right To Work Act

From RandPAC:

Not long ago, I introduced a simple, one-page bill designed to usher in the biggest change in American politics in generations . . .

For nearly 70 years -- with our federal government's blessing -- Big Labor bosses have mocked our Constitution and strangled our economy as they've built a massive political empire on the backs of hardworking Americans.

These workers' FORCED union dues -- confiscated by union bosses under the threat of outright job termination -- have bankrolled tax-and-spend politicians like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid for decades.

Just take a look at the federal Leviathan you and I live under today to see the horrific results.

If you and I are serious about restoring liberty and limited, constitutional government in America, you and I must strike at the very heart of Big Labor's illicit power by passing my National Right to Work Act (S. 204) to finally END forced union dues in America.

Of course, I'm depending on you to help make that happen.

As you'll see, I've made up a special "End Forced Unionism" petition for you to sign that urges your U.S. Congressman and Senators to cosponsor my National Right to Work Act (S. 204).

In fact, with your help, my hope is to generate such a flood of support for this legislation that my colleagues in Congress will realize they have no choice but to act.

The truth is, every American who has any interest at all in freedom has a stake in this fight because Big Labor's billions are at the very root of virtually every Big Government assault on our most basic freedoms, including:

*** The "ObamaCare" disaster, restrictive new economic regulations, higher taxes and bigger government as union bosses tighten their grip on the private sector and seek to control, bleed, and bankrupt the government; and

*** Abortion-on-demand, gun control and assaults on the family as Big Labor uses forced union dues to bankroll politicians who support their radical social agenda; and

*** So-called "Green" boondoggles like Solyndra, federal taxpayer handouts and bailouts for Washington, D.C.’s politically-connected corporate cronies who have done union-label politicians' bidding and handed their workers over to Big Labor control.

And just like most problems in America, you can thank the federal government for this mess.

I know some Big Labor apologists try to pass their forced-dues privileges off as a "state issue."

But the truth is, federal laws on the books since FDR are the root source of the union bosses’ illicit compulsory unionism power.

And if Congress created the problem, it's up to Congress to end it.

But of course, I'm not naive.

I know the union bosses and their cronies in Congress are going to do everything they can to sweep this issue under the rug.

But with nearly 8 out of 10 Americans opposed to forced union dues, I'm not about to back down.

In fact, with poll numbers like that, my colleagues can vote against my bill if they want.

I know they'll pay the political price down the line, and you and I will only move closer to finally passing this critical bill.

So won't you please sign your "End Forced Unionism" petition?

And if you can, please agree to a generous contribution of $35, $20 or $10 - or whatever you can afford TODAY.

Your generosity will help me reach more Americans and generate even more support for this critical legislation.

If you're fed up with politics as usual, you MUST be involved in this fight.

So please sign your "End Forced Unionism" petition and make your most generous contribution TODAY.

Please act IMMEDIATELY.

In Liberty,

Senator Rand Paul

P.S. If you and I are serious about restoring liberty and limited, constitutional government in America, you and I must strike at the very heart of Big Labor's illicit power by passing my National Right to Work Act (S. 204) to finally END forced union dues in America.

With Labor Day weekend right around the corner, I can’t think of a better time to launch this fight to free American workers and our fragile economy from the shackles of forced unionism.

So won't you please sign your "End Forced Unionism" petition? And if you can, please agree to a generous contribution of $35, $20 or $10 - or whatever you can afford TODAY.

Sign the petition to Stop The Amnesty

From Senate Conservatives Fund:

We are witnessing a humanitarian crisis that is the
direct consequence of President Obama’s lawlessness.

In FY 2011, there were 6,000 unaccompanied children entering the United States. Administration officials expect that number to reach 90,000 in FY2014 and 145,000 in FY2015.

When the President prevents the Border Patrol from following enforcing our laws, people respond to that and hand over children to drug dealers and vicious cartels.

This crisis can be solved by securing the border and by not offering amnesty, which incentivizes people to violate the law and endanger the safety and lives of their children.


Stop The Amnesty

Obama tramples on religious freedom

From Public Advocate:

This morning, President Obama signed an Executive Order demanding all businesses with federal contracts bestow special class status for homosexuals.

With the stroke of a pen, Christian businesses among the 24,000 companies impacted by this order were stripped of their freedom to run their business according to Traditional Values.

This means almost 20% of the entire U.S. workforce is now under the thumb of the Homosexual Lobby's dangerous crown jewel.

But I am convinced were it not for Public Advocate's efforts to keep the Gay Bill of Special Rights at bay in the House of Representatives, that number would be 100%.

Now, the Homosexual Lobby will attempt to use Obama's latest attack on Religious Liberty to pressure weak-kneed Republicans in the House to pass the Gay Bill of Special Rights before November's midterm elections.

That's why you and I must redouble our efforts to keep this dangerous bill from reaching an up-or-down vote in the House.

The stakes are higher than ever.

If you haven't yet, please click here to sign your petition demanding Speaker of the House John Boehner and newly-elected Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy stand up for Religious Liberty by refusing the Gay Bill of Special Rights a vote on the House floor.

If you've already signed your petition, please forward this email to your friends and family who support Real Marriage and Traditional Values.

Your Public Advocate has been directing targeted emails, phonecalls, internet banners, and constituent petitions.

Every pro-Family voice makes it harder for Republican House leadership to ignore our demands.

Please sign your petition against the Gay Bill of Special Rights today!

For the Family,

HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.

P.S. The Homosexual Lobby will attempt to use Obama's latest attack on Religious Liberty to pressure weak-kneed Republicans in the House to pass the Gay Bill of Special Rights before November's midterm elections.

Stand up to forced unionism

From The National Right To Work Committee:

I have some urgent news.

My staff just informed me that one of our new National Right to Work Committee TV ads, this one targeting Democratic Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR), is through the editing stage and ready to launch.

I'll give you a link in just a second.

But first, you need to know the union bosses have caught wind of our efforts to make Right to Work a top issue in the 2014 elections -- and they're planning payback.

In fact, Fox News recently reported that Big Labor is "looking for revenge" and preparing to unleash their forced-dues warchest through a tidal wave of negative, vicious attack ads across the country in their drive to crush their pro-Right to Work political adversaries in 2014.

And Big Labor’s go-to-guy -- Harry Reid -- is prepared to unleash his power as Senate Majority Leader to aid their efforts as he's faced with the threat of losing his majority in the U.S. Senate.

If we don't act NOW, all the work you and I have put in to make Michigan, Wisconsin, and Indiana Right to Work states could go up in smoke -- unless we get a roll-call vote on the National Right to Work Act.

Since most Americans oppose Big Labor's forced-unionism powers, a public debate on a National Right to Work law is Big Labor's worst nightmare.

Because time is of the essence, I had an emergency meeting with my advisors and analysts and crunched the numbers of what it will take to generate a nationwide public debate on the issue of forced unionism.

That's why your National Right to Work Committee devised a state-of-the-art grassroots mobilization program called the "Election Year TV Ad Blitz" with the goal of raising $100,000 by Thursday, July 24 to generate a grassroots tidal wave of support for the National Right to Work Act.

And two generous supporters of Right to Work have agreed to help us get there by matching your contribution -- effectively tripling it! .

Given Big Labor’s renewed attack, your support at this time is critical.

So after you watch our new TV Ad by clicking on the image below, can I count on you to chip in with a donation of $50 to get this hard-hitting ad in front of millions of pro-Right to Work Americans?

As you know, our battles against Big Labor over the past two years -- including making the Big Labor stronghold of Michigan America’s 24th Right to Work state, has all but drained us of our funds.

We're depending on you to help us raise $100,000 by Thursday, July 24 to launch an all-out campaign to shine a bright public spotlight on the forced-unionism issue.

These hard-hitting TV ads will shine the light of public opinion on fence-sitting Senators.

Just by mobilizing Americans on Right to Work, we can bring the forced-unionism issue to the forefront of the people's minds, and that in itself will increase the effectiveness of our 2014 election year voter education and mobilization program as we approach the November elections.

And you and I and the nearly 80% of pro-Right to Work Americans can derail Big Labor's political election year schemes.

Of course, the Committee cannot do any of this without your generous financial support.

Can I count on you to chip in $50 to help the Committee launch this crucial TV ad campaign?

If $50 is too much, will you consider a generous contribution of $25 or even $10?

I'm afraid if I don't receive an immediate influx of financial support, I won't be able to implement this aggressive plan to force a vote on a National Right to Work Act.

Please don't wait to give your contribution.

The Committee must have your donation by Thursday, July 24 in order to properly budget expenses for the fight.

If that doesn't happen, then Big Labor’s forced-dues BILLIONS may derail our National Right to Work Act without so much as a vote.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

Defeat the Internet Tax Mandate

From The National League of Tax Payers:

They are on the attack again.

And this time, members of both parties are the problem.

Of course, the only thing big-government politicians love more than spending your money is taking away more of it.

Are you prepared to pay taxes to use online services like Google, Facebook, Ebay or Netflix?

How about surrendering even more money to help finance ObamaCare?

If your answer is a resounding NO, then please keep reading.

President Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and unfortunately even a number of Republicans are looking at a new source of "revenue" through the Internet Sales Tax.

Of course, when tax-and-spend politicians introduce controversial legislation, they make sure to give it a name that'll be more receptive to taxpayers.

That's why they're calling it the "Marketplace Fairness Act" in an attempt to hide its obvious implications from you.

But make no mistake. Nothing about this big-government boondoggle is "fair."

You see, the Internet Sales Tax would hand the Federal Government massive new controls over state tax policies and set the stage for government at all levels to tax, regulate and track every transaction you make on the Internet.

The Internet Sales Tax would also create an online regulatory nightmare that will wreak havoc on businesses by forcing them to comply with 50 separate tax codes.

That's why it's critical you sign the petition DEMANDING my colleagues in the House and Senate vote "NO" on the Internet Sales Tax.

I'll give you a link in just a moment, but first, let me explain exactly what's at stake.

Tax-and-spend politicians are foaming at the mouth fantasizing about new spending programs they can create by using additional taxpayer dollars.

Today, instead of finding ways to cut spending and reduce taxes to get our economy going again, members of both parties are moving to squeeze even more money from the American people

Money that they intend to use in their efforts to fund and create more government programs like ObamaCare and Medicaid expansion.

The last thing we need is more taxes for the purpose of implementing more government.

That's why it's so critical you sign your No Internet Sales Tax petition.

And after you sign your petition, please chip in with $10, $15, or more to help fight back against the Internet Sales Tax right away.

The Internet is one of the greatest inventions of our time – and it's one of the last marketplaces where individuals can purchase goods and services with limited government intrusion.

That's why I hope you will help today in keeping the Internet as free from government interference as much as possible.

You see, under the Internet Sales Tax:

*** Obama's Federal Government will use the IRS to force online retailers to pay for their new revenue scheme, all while raising costs for consumers.
*** Tax collectors in one state will have the backing of the Federal Government and the IRS to pursue retailers across state lines.
*** Many of your favorite sites will be flooded out of business due to a tidal wave of new and higher taxes and regulations that threaten the Internet as we know it.

We should be lowering taxes. Not raising them.

But that will not happen unless I receive your support.

Will you stand by while Obama's IRS and big-government politicians in both parties continue to dig their hands in your pocket?

Or will you sign your No Internet Sales Tax petition telling your Congressman and Senators ENOUGH is ENOUGH?

And after you sign, please consider sending your maximum contribution of $100, $500, or $35 to help me mobilize Americans in our fight against the Internet Sales Tax.

If we don't stop the Internet Sales Tax scheme, every consumer in the country will feel the crippling effects as Congress takes a massive chunk out of American prosperity.

Your support will help alert hundreds of thousands of Americans on the nature of this battle, all while putting pressure on my counterparts in the House and Senate, demanding they vote NO on the Internet Sales Tax.

That's why your support is crucial.

This won't be easy.

But your support is what we need to win.

Please act IMMEDIATELY.

Sincerely,

Steve Stockman
United States Congressman

P.S.are you prepared to pay taxes to use online services like Google, Facebook, Ebay or Netflix?

How about surrendering even more money to help finance ObamaCare?

If your answer is a resounding NO, then please sign your No Internet Sales Tax petition right away.

And after you sign your petition, please consider chipping in $100, $50, or $35 to help mobilize Americans in our fight against the Internet Sales Tax.

Protect your religious rights and other freedoms

From RandPAC:

Americans are “bitter.”

According to President Obama, we “cling to guns and religion.”

When President Obama made those outrageous comments to an audience in San Francisco during his 2008 campaign for president, our nation moved quickly to sweep them under the rug.

But I’m afraid, increasingly, we’re seeing an administration intent on separating us from all of our most basic freedoms.

Over the past year-and-a half, the debate over our Second Amendment rights has been raging hotter than ever. But as Americans of faith understand, our religious liberty is increasingly coming under assault as well.

As you’ll see, I’ve created a special Defend Religious Liberty Ballot.

I'll give you a link in a moment but let me first explain why this fight is so crucial.

The truth is, some of the issues we’re facing right now need to be front-and-center this election.

If not, I shudder to think about just how much more openly hostile our government could become to those who share sincere religious and moral beliefs.

The American colonies were first settled largely by men and women who wanted to escape religious persecution and be left free to practice their faiths.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was created in part to protect that liberty from government intrusion.

But today, it seems Washington, D.C. has flipped its role from protector to aggressor when you consider recent Obama administration actions like these:

*** In February of 2013, the Obama administration announced that the rights of religious conscience would not be recognized under ObamaCare, meaning that Christian companies, schools and universities could be forced to pay for virtually anything the Obama administration dreams up.

This was one of the moves by the Obama administration that helped lead to the recent Supreme Court Hobby Lobby decision;

***In February of 2012, the Obama administration announced it would no longer forgive student loans in exchange for public service if that public service was at all related to religion;

***In 2010, the Obama administration began dropping all mentions of “the Creator” when quoting our Declaration of Independence a year after announcing the White House would no longer recognize the National Day of Prayer;

***In April of 2009, in an open sign of disrespect to the Catholic Church, President Obama nominated three pro-abortion ambassadors to the Vatican.

The truth is, there is an assault on traditional morality and faith going on right now in America.

It’s led by those whose idea of morality is swamping our children with mountains of debt they can never repay . . .

It’s led by those whose idea of religious liberty is forcing U.S. taxpayers to cough up hundreds of millions of dollars to fund abortion-on-demand . . .

It’s led by those whose idea of leadership is to use the IRS to illegally harass and intimidate political opponents – and then claim all records disappeared . . .

It’s led by those whose idea of the American Dream is to strip us of control of our individual lives and hand them to Washington, D.C. bureaucrats who know “what’s best.”

When President Obama bragged on his 100th day in office that he had “begun the work of remaking America,” he couldn’t have been more serious.

I’m not interested in remaking America.

I’m interested in restoring it.

And restoring and protecting Americans’ religious liberty is a key part.

If you agree, please fill out your Defend Religious Liberty Ballot right away.

The truth is, I believe my colleagues in Washington, D.C. need to know where you stand this election year.

I’m afraid there are those in our national media – and some even in my own party – who think any discussion of faith in the public square or the campaign trail is a big fat “no-no.”

If that idea is allowed to stand, how will we ever ensure our religious liberty is protected?

How can we ever fight back?

Every man and woman running for office needs to understand there are millions of Americans out there who believe our First Amendment rights to religious freedom aren’t something to just be tossed aside in favor of some Big Government apologists’ idea of utopia.

Your Defend Religious Liberty Ballot is a key part of sending that message.

To help RANDPAC generate as many as possible, won’t you please chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 right away?

Your support will help RANDPAC reach even more Americans from coast-to-coast this election year.

I can’t do it without you.

So please fill out your Defend Religious Liberty Ballot and agree to chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 at once!

In liberty,

Senator Rand Paul

P.S. As Americans of faith understand, our religious liberty is increasingly coming under assault.

I believe some of the issues we’re facing right now need to be front-and-center this election. If not, I shudder to think about just how much more openly hostile our government could become to those who share sincere religious and moral beliefs.

If you agree, please fill out your Defend Religious Liberty Ballot and please chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 IMMEDIATELY.

Activist judge upholds gay marriage in Florida

From Public Advocate:

An activist judge in the Florida Keys has sparked an uproar among pro-Family Floridians.

Chief Circuit Judge Luis M. Garcia took matters into his own hands this past Thursday when he invalidated Florida's traditional marriage amendment to the state's constitution.

The amendment defining marriage as only between one man and one woman was overwhelmingly passed by a voter referendum in 2008 by a 62-38 margin.

Despite state law, Monroe County, which mainly consists of the Florida Keys, will soon begin recognizing homosexual "marriages."

Judge Garcia's ruling is yet another example of widespread judicial activism since the Supreme Court gutted the Defense of Marriage Act last year.

While the Homosexual Lobby continues to struggle with defeat in the legislative process, unelected judges are cutting voters out of the loop and decreeing liberal dogma as law of the land.

Mainstream media outlets continue to plaster the airwaves with a deluge of pro-homosexual propaganda claiming "victory" in hopes of discouraging pro-Family supporters.

But I'm going to let you in on a secret:

Since 1998, voters in 32 states have overwhelmingly voted for traditional marriage as the law of their state.

The majority of Americans have unequivocally voiced their support for pro-Family marriage time and again.

Needless to say, the ultra-liberal media has no problem with distorting and ignoring this simple fact.

And unelected judges have unabashedly forced the Homosexual Lobby's policy preferences upon us.

But with your help, Public Advocate has a plan to protect the legal foundation of traditional marriage.

To win, Public Advocate must mobilize every traditional Family supporter we can reach to pass the State Marriage Defense Act.

I'm confident there are millions of pro-Family Americans itching to take action.

And I need you to be one of them.

Together, we can stop the assault on traditional marriage.

For the Family,

HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.

P.S. Since the Supreme Court gutted the Defense of Marriage Act, liberal activist judges are rampantly striking down traditional marriage in state after state.

That's why it's vital you sign your Citizen's Co-Sponsor Pledge and go on record 100% in favor of the State Marriage Defense Act.

Good news about Net Neutrality

Free Press Action Fund:

Just let me say this first: You're amazing.

Thanks to you and other Net Neutrality supporters, the FCC has been overwhelmed by public comments in support of the open Internet.

In fact, so many people inundated the FCC site on Tuesday that it crashed. The agency was forced to extend the initial comment deadline — a pretty unprecedented move.

Today, I can tell you with confidence that we didn't just break the site; we broke the record: The FCC has never received this many comments on a proposed rulemaking.

Millions of people have commented. And the vast majority have urged FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler to abandon his flawed plan and put in place a Net Neutrality rule that truly protects free speech and innovation.

We've won round one. Now the hard work begins:

Support the Free Press Action Fund's Plan to Save the Internet with a Donation of $10 (or more!) today.

Wheeler's proposed rules for protecting the open Internet fall so spectacularly short that all of the major phone and cable companies are lobbying Washington to support them.1

We need to beat back these lobbyists before the agency holds its final vote on Net Neutrality by the end of the year.

With your help, Free Press plans to drive millions more public comments by the FCC's final deadline, organize Net Neutrality rallies around the country, spread our message through the press, meet with dozens of members of Congress, and build one of the largest, most creative and diverse coalitions in the history of media activism.

Be Part of the Battle to Save the Internet. Support the Free Press Action Fund.

Public awareness about the open Internet has reached a new peak. Our challenge is to turn awareness into public pressure for real change.

With your help we can do this and protect the open Internet forever.

Thanks for your support—

Since the cable companies want to be assholes about it why don't you just dump your cable provider. Why not,what is on cable these days anyway? Crap on MTV. More of the Kandashians. More of that crap. You're better off with the internet,you're better off embracing the internet for the freedoms it provides instead of watching what someone else decided you can watch on cable. Cable is old and a waste of money. When I got rid of cable I couldn't believe how much money I was saving. So if the cable companies are going to be assholes about it fuck them and dump them. They are not worth it.

FCC extends deadline for comments

From Demand Progress:

It keeps getting better.

Because of the record-setting outpouring of support for Net Neutrality, the FCC's website CRASHED on Tuesday, in front of what _was_ the comment period deadline.

The 100,000-plus of you who have submitted comments this week surely helped!

So the FCC extended its deadline to tomorrow, Friday, meaning that you still have time to join this tsunami of support for Net Neutrality.

If you haven't submitted your comment yet, there's still time! Click here to help save Net Neutrality.


This is great. Now we can crash the server all over again and let them know we mean business.

Re-elect Justin Amash

From Freedom Works:



The U.S. Chamber of Commerce just came after one of the most conservative representatives in Congress. They just went ALL-IN to destroy Justin Amash.

That's right. The same Chamber that spent over a million dollars to help Democrats steal the Mississippi election for Thad Cochran is now trying to silence the strongest voice for liberty in the House.

Justin is one of only three Members of congress with a lifetime 100% score on the FreedomWorks scorecard. He is the best we have, and we cannot lose him!

Will you help us re-elect Justin Amash?

The Chamber is going to spend big for Justin's Establishment opponent, but if YOU stand with us we can beat them. We don't need to out-raise them, but we do need to act now.

The primary is less than three weeks away. Will you help us defend Justin Amash? We need to make phone calls, distribute yard signs, and get the message out.

Please, help us defend one of the best fighters of the Obama Agenda in Congress. We can't afford to lose Justin Amash, and with your help, we won't.

In Liberty,

Matt Kibbe

Bittersweet news

From The Free Press Action Fund:

Great news: Thanks to your phone calls to Congress, the amendment to prevent the FCC from enforcing Net Neutrality rules has been shelved.

Unfortunately, the amendment barring communities from building their own broadband networks passed — but we will do everything we can to stop it from becoming law. Help support our work with a donation of $10 (or more!) today.

Oppose forced unionism

From The National Right To Work Committee:

The November mid-term elections are fast approaching.

And Big Labor’s go-to-guy -- Harry Reid -- is faced with the threat of losing his majority in the U.S. Senate.

So you can be sure the union bosses are pulling out all the stops.

In the fight for a National Right to Work law, opponents of forced unionism will face a showdown against the full might of Big Labor.

The stakes for this year couldn’t be higher.

That's why it’s vital that you act at once to ignite massive public support for a National Right to Work bill.

That's why the Committee is launching our "Election Year TV Ad Vote Blitz" with the goal of raising $100,000 by Thursday, July 24.

And a generous supporter of Right to Work has agreed to help us get there by matching all first-time contributions dollar for dollar.

I'll give you the link to donate to this critical effort in just a moment.

But first let me explain why RIGHT NOW is the best time to turn up the heat on Congress to force a vote on a National Right to Work Act.

You see, the November 2014 mid-term elections are rapidly approaching.

And there are a number of Big Labor-appeasing Senators -- many from staunchly pro-Right to Work states -- who are faced with tough re-elections.

During the upcoming August recess, these vulnerable incumbent Senators will be busy crisscrossing their state in an effort to win support from their constituents.

As you know, politicians listen most closely to the folks back home when they are out campaigning for votes -- instead of sitting safely in Washington.

That's why -- RIGHT NOW -- is the time when you and I must mobilize the nearly 80% of Americans who support Right to Work to DEMAND their elected officials vote on the National Right to Work Act.

And your Committee is preparing to launch a state-of-the-art grassroots mobilization program designed to do just that.

In fact, my staff is putting the finishing touches on one of the sample TV ads we'd like to run in target states. I'll send you the link to watch the ad as soon as it's finished.

These hard-hitting ads will shine the light of public opinion on fence-sitting Senators.

Just by mobilizing Americans on Right to Work, we can bring the forced-unionism issue to the forefront of the people's minds, and that in itself will increase the effectiveness of our 2014 election year voter education and mobilization program as we approach the November elections.

Of course, the Committee cannot do any of this without your generous financial support.

That's why for this battle to succeed it's vital that you make a generous contribution to our "Election Year TV Ad Vote Blitz" IMMEDIATELY.

And remember, your generous contribution will be matched dollar for dollar.

So, if you give a gift of $10, you'll actually be giving $20! If you can sacrifice $25, your generous contribution will equal out to $50!

This support will allow us to have a roll-call vote on a National Right to Work Act.

The last thing Big Labor is counting on is a public, roll-call vote on a National Right to Work Act.

The one-page National Right to Work Act doesn’t add a single word to federal law. It simply strikes those sections that grant Big Labor’s compulsory unionism privileges.

And a roll-call vote right now will put each and every one of Big Labor’s forced dues allies in the U.S. Senate on record in time for the November elections.

With nearly 75% of the American people opposed to forced unionism, just getting a vote is a win/win situation for Right to Work supporters.

You see, every time in the past fifty years when there has been a public, roll-call vote in Congress on whether or not workers should be forced to pay union dues as a condition of employment, Big Labor's puppets have gone down in flames at the ballot box.

For example, in the 1994 elections, 33 members of Congress were tossed out of office by their constituents after voting for Ted Kennedy's Pushbutton Strike Bill -- which would have given union bosses new strike powers to force workers to pay union dues.

And after the 2010 “Card Check” battle, Big Labor politicians were defeated in 11 of the 17 targeted Senate districts and 40 of the 49 targeted House districts.

And staunch Right to Work heroes like Senator Rand Paul, who is leading the charge on our Right to Work bill, were swept into office.

So the politicians in the U.S. Congress will face a choice:

Vote to free America’s workers from the shackles of forced unionism –- or answer to angry voters in November.

Of course, taking on the full might of Big Labor in 2014 won't be easy and you and I have our work cut out for us.

But at this critical juncture in American history, it’s vital you and I seize this opportunity to expose Big Labor's allies in Congress.

That's why it’s vital that you agree to make a generous contribution TODAY

And because a generous supporter has agreed to match your donation, your contribution will doubled!

The fact is, the groundswell for the National Right to Work Act has been building as Right to Work supporters across the country sent petitions, postcards, letters and emails to their Senators and Congressmen, urging action on the Right to Work bill.

But there is still much more to be done.

The Committee must mobilize even more Americans through carefully targeted mailings, emails and phone calls to build pressure on waffling Senators as the vote draws near.

And, in the days leading up to the vote, the Committee also plans to run targeted TV ads in key Senate districts across the country.

These hard-hitting ads will shine the light of public opinion on fence-sitting Senators.

Just by mobilizing Americans on Right to Work, we can bring the forced-unionism issue to the forefront of the people's minds, and that in itself will increase the effectiveness of our 2014 election year voter education and mobilization program as we approach the November elections.

Of course, the Committee cannot do any of this without your generous financial support.

I must tell you that the success of this effort is based solely on the support of folks like you.

That’s why I hope you'll agree to give your maximum possible contribution -- $25, if possible today.



If $25 is simply too much to ask, then I hope you'll consider a contribution of $15 or $5.

I'm afraid if I don't receive an immediate influx of financial support, I won't be able to implement this aggressive plan to force a vote on a National Right to Work Act.

Please don't wait to give your contribution.

The Committee must have your donation by July 24 in order to properly budget expenses for the fight.

If that doesn't happen, then Big Labor’s forced-dues BILLIONS may derail our National Right to Work Act without so much as a vote.

That’s why it’s vital you chip in your most generous contribution of $25, $15 or $5 today.

And remember, thanks to a generous supporter of Right to Work, your generous contribution will be matched dollar for dollar.

Thank you in advance for your most generous support.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. Since most Americans oppose Big Labor’s forced-unionism powers, a public debate on a National Right to Work law is Big Labor’s (and their water-carriers’ in Congress) worst nightmare!

And there's no better time than RIGHT NOW to turn up the heat on Congress.

That's why the Committee is launching our "Election Year TV Ad Vote Blitz" with the goal of raising $100,000 by Thursday, July 24.

So please chip in your most generous contribution of $25, $15 or $5 today.

And because a generous supporter has agreed to match your donation, your contribution will doubled!

Tell Congress not to give Obama the money for immigration lawyers

From Tea Party Patriots:

Congress is about to vote on a bill to give Barack Obama nearly $4 billion to care for all the illegal aliens pouring across our southern border.

Please sign the emergency "No Funding for Illegal Aliens" petition right now. Congress could vote on this proposal at any time.

Then, please forward this email to everyone you know. We must overwhelm Congress with petitions, and we must do it FAST!

This massive spending bill will help Obama resettle these illegal immigrants in America.
It will use YOUR tax money to pay for immigration lawyers for these trespassers.
It will provide food, clothing, and transportation for thousands and thousands of illegals.
This is an insane proposal that undermines American sovereignty and will ruin our economy.
Please sign your petition now, and ask everyone you know to do the same.
Barack Obama has no intention at all of ever sending these illegal immigrants back home.
That's why he's lobbying hard for this $4 billion.
Liberal Republican Lindsey Graham is already campaigning to give Obama this money. He recently declared, "I think we need to go ahead and allocate the resources because this is not a good situation."
This measure will pass unless ordinary Americans fight back - NOW.
Traditionally conservative politicians are terrified of voting against this proposal. They don't want to seem mean by voting against "children."
That's why these petitions are so incredibly important. We have to overcome the liberal media, pro-illegal alien big businesses and the open-borders lobby.
They are all fighting hard to get Obama this money.
Just click here to sign your petition. And then, please, please forward this email to everyone you know. This is an emergency.
Obama's plan is to use this giant slush fund to pay for immigration lawyers and to find local "sponsors" for all these illegals.
Many of these people have contagious diseases. Others are gang members.
Still others are children whose parents sent them to America because of Obama's "DREAM Act" executive order.
This is a disaster. And giving Obama $4 billion to play with will certainly make it even worse!!
America's taxpayers can't afford to reward this bad behavior a moment longer. The only thing left to give these people is a one-way ticket back to their home countries.
That's what we need to tell Congress: Stand firm. Vote NO on this $4 billion slush fund. And send these illegals home.
Please sign your petition immediately. As I said, Congress could vote on this "emergency spending bill" at any time.
Obama truly believes he can run right over the Republicans in Congress. He believes he can shame them into giving him this money.
Ordinary Americans must take a stand against this insanity. NOW.
Please go here to sign your petition. And don't forget to forward this email to everyone you know.
We must swamp Congress with petitions!
Thank you in advance for all your help.

Save Net Neutrality

From Demand Progress:

Thirty six hours to go. That’s how long we have to get pro-Net Neutrality comments submitted to the FCC in front of their first comment period deadline — and save the Internet from the clutches of Comcast, Time Warner, and their ilk.

Let’s make our power clear, by submitting more comments than the FCC’s ever seen before:

Visit our brand new website and send the FCC a formal comment demanding support for Net Neutrality. It’ll only take a minute.

We're in a battle to for the Internet as we know it. Net Neutrality guarantees all websites — start-ups, blogs, independent media — an even playing field. It’s essentially the First Amendment of the Internet.

But the cable companies want to gut Net Neutrality to increase their profits: Without Net Neutrality, those corporations can kill websites by relegating them to slow lanes if they don’t pay fees — or if they just don’t like the content they contain.

Many of you have already signed petitions to the FCC or President Obama — and so have literally millions of others. That’s incredible — and it’s had a huge impact. But now we all need to go one step further and submit formal comments into the FCC’s Net Neutrality proceeding.

It’s really quick and easy, and carries way more weight than the usual petition signature does. You’ll be a formal part of the process.

Submit a formal comment to the FCC before the end of this comment period — it’s over TOMORROW.

Originally the FCC was poised to undermine Net Neutrality all together. Because we all pushed back, now they’re considering adopting rules that would save it.

But they’ll only do so if we speak out again, even louder.

We can make a huge statement: We have a chance of submitting more comments than the FCC has ever received on an issue before.

The cable companies have millions of dollars and armies of lobbyists and public relations firms -- and since they own so much of the communications infrastructure, it's especially easy for them to push their propaganda.

But we have millions of people on our side — and our only chance of beating the cable companies is if we all take a stand, together.

Click here to visit our brand new website and send the FCC a formal comment demanding support for Net Neutrality. It’ll only take a minute.

Thanks.

Play time for terrorists

If I were a terrorist I would strike on the southern border with Mexico. With all these children coming across at Barrack Obama's invitation it is an excellent distraction from what else is happening. According to tonight's Hannity a lot of muslims are pouring across our southern border as well. That would mean either Al Qadea or ISIS is coming across the border. Remember this is the same ISIS that is currently trying to bomb Israel out of existence and they have made it no secret that they are coming after us. Now add on top of that the United States has a southern neighbor,Mexico,that has no respect for our country. They show this by imprisoning our Marine,Andrew Tahmooressi,when it has been shown that he entered Mexico unknowingly and was cooperative with Mexican authorities. Now add to that Obama is discharging people from the military while demanding money for the illegal aliens pouring across our border. No military to defend the country,a system overworked by a ever expanding growth in illegal aliens and an infrustructure about to collapse. On the rest of the world,North Korea is getting brave and our allies are wondering if we can lead or not. America's enemies are embolden while America's allies are worried. Yes,I would say this is the time to strike and strike hard. I'm probably not the only one to see this but the only difference is I'm being hypothetical while they may actually implement it.

Oppose the gay bill of special rights

From Public Advocate:

Wave after wave.

The clock is ticking.

With midterm elections fast approaching, the Homosexual Lobby knows they may lose their grip on Congress.

They know this summer may be their last -- and best -- opportunity to ram the Gay Bill of Special Rights, the Homosexual Classrooms Act, and the Offense of Marriage Act down the throats of the American people.

So they’re wasting no time whipping up a tsunami of political momentum before it’s too late.

And they’re striking at a time when your Public Advocate is at its weakest -- while I have bills from an expensive lawsuit against the radical pro-homosexual Southern Poverty Law Center.

That’s why I’m counting on your IMMEDIATE action to stop this tsunami and save our precious traditional values.

I need you to immediately sign your petition below demanding Congress oppose the Homosexual Lobby’s radical agenda.

Second, will you please send a one-time emergency contribution of $15?

I know that’s asking a lot, but the stakes are higher than ever before.

That’s because I must raise $59,835 in the next two weeks to organize a massive lobbying campaign and mobilize over 500,000 more pro-Family activists like you to fight these evil bills.

If I don’t raise the funds, weak-kneed moderates in Congress will assume this is a one-sided battle -- that “everyone” is in favor of the Homosexual Lobby’s radical agenda.

If you don’t act now, the Homosexual Lobby will force their entire agenda into law, including:

1) The Homosexual Classrooms Act, requiring every school -- even private and religious schools -- to teach appalling homosexual acts.

And since Barack Obama doesn’t have to face the voters again for re-election, the Homosexual Lobby understands this may be their last -- and best -- opportunity to make their entire radical agenda the law of the land.

This legislation would spin impressionable students in a whirlwind of sexual confusion and misinformation, even peer pressure to “experiment” with the homosexual “lifestyle.”

2) The Offense of Marriage Act, repealing the Defense of Marriage Act which protects the majority of states from the radical homosexual “marriage” laws passed by a few.

If passed, wedding gown-clad men
or tuxedo clad women smooching before some left-wing clergyman or state official is just the beginning.

3) The Gay Bill of Special Rights, granting special job rights to homosexuals. Every homosexual fired or not hired becomes a potential federal civil rights lawsuit.

Radical homosexuals will terrorize daycares, hospitals and churches. Traditional moral values will be shattered by federal decree.

I know this all sounds like something out of a nightmare.

If I didn’t spend so much time in the nation’s capitol fighting for the family, I wouldn’t believe it could happen here in America.

Honestly, my job feels like the loneliest in the world.

It seems as though I have so few allies in my fight.

But I am sustained by every new petition, knowing you and thousands of others still stand by me in my struggle to protect the family and our nation from the radical Homosexual Agenda.

All around me, agents of the radical Homosexual Lobby are strutting through the halls of Congress bragging about how they’ve finally beaten us.

And if you and I don’t act now, they may be right.

This is our last chance to stop the Gay Bill of Special Rights, the Homosexual Classrooms Act, and the Offense of Marriage Act. It can be done, but I need your help right away!

If Public Advocate is going to have the resources to mount a successful lobbying campaign against the Homosexual Lobby’s entire radical agenda, I must raise $59,835 in the next two weeks.

So please,sign your petition and contribute to defend America's families today.

With your signed petition in hand, I can prove that Public Advocate supporters still stand for the American Family and against the radical Homosexual Agenda.

Every day, as I walk through the halls of Congress, I feel the eyes of radical homosexuals on me. Their hatred is obvious, and they are everywhere.

They seem to have gotten to anyone who was weak or wavering.

Everywhere I go, old allies tell me they can’t afford to “make a fuss” over the Gay Bill of Special Rights, the Homosexual Classrooms Act, or defend marriage because the Homosexual Agenda has “so much public support.”

The Homosexual Lobby’s Supreme Court victory over part of the Defense of Marriage Act has convinced many Congressmen that no one still stands for the family.

Lawmakers tell me they don’t believe pro-Family Americans are willing to fight anymore. And with this new tidal wave attack, they say the Homosexual Lobby is an unstoppable force!

You and I know they are WRONG. Help me prove it.

I must make them understand that a majority of Americans do oppose special rights for homosexuals.

And we do want REAL marriage protected by federal law!

That’s why I need you to click here to sign your petition immediately and contribute $15 to Public Advocate's fight for the family.

CISA would give the NSA more information about you,sign the petition if you oppose this.

From Fight For The Future:

Over the weekend a detailed report in the Washington Post caught the U.S. government in more lies about the scope of its dragnet surveillance programs. The Post showed that the NSA intercepted communications from ordinary people 9 times more often than from “targets” suspected of any wrongdoing.

People are outraged. And we should be. Any politician that plans to keep their job should be doing everything they can to put an end to these illegal and unethical surveillance practices.

Infuriatingly, *today* the Senate Intelligence Committee is rushing to advance “CISA,” a bill that would give the NSA more access to our data than ever before, and give companies like Facebook and Google legal immunity for violating our privacy.

Your signature is needed to stop CISA, the new CISPA. Will you click here to take action right now? Every second counts, the markup is this afternoon.

Does “CISA” sound kind of familiar? That’s because it’s another zombified version of CISPA, a bill that Internet users have beaten back twice before.

It’s despicable that the Senate Intelligence Committee, who are supposed to oversee the government’s spying programs and protect our rights, is choosing this moment to resurrect CISPA, and sneaking it through in a closed door markup.

Thanks to the huge rise in privacy activism and reporting over the past year, it should be easier than ever to defeat legislation like this. But we have to remain vigilant. Congress is trying to do this quietly; we can’t let them. Take action right now.
