From Stop Hillary PAC:
Hillary is in trouble.
The American people are finally waking up.
Beating Hillary Clinton will not be easy -- but it can be done.
Top 5 reasons Hillary can be beat
With your support Stop Hillary PAC has been pounding away at Hillary for over a year -- spending almost 2 million dollars directly targeting Hillary to defeat her 2016 run for president.
And now it's finally paying off.
You and I both know there are hundreds of reasons why Hillary can be beat -- but here are the top:
Reason #5:
A majority of the American people now have a negative view of Hillary Clinton.
You need to look no further than the latest swing state polls in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania to see that a clear Majority of Americans now have a negative view of Hillary Clinton.
Thanks to Stop Hillary PAC -- and your continued support -- our non-stop digital media campaign has taken a huge toll on Hillary -- and the poll numbers now confirm it.
Reason #4:
Hillary is a liar and the American people know it.
Rarely does a front running, major party presidential candidate have such a huge public problem with telling the truth. According to poll after poll, the American people by a solid majority now believe Hillary Clinton cannot be trusted. And it's getting worse for her.
Thanks to Stop Hillary PAC's public information campaign, we have contacted over 10 million Americans with the truth about Hillary's lies. Your continued support for Stop Hillary is making a huge difference.
Reason #3:
Pending Federal Investigation into Hillary's illegal acts.
According to the New York Times, (not exactly a mainstream publication) no less than two federal agencies have referred Hillary's actions to the Department of Justice. In fact, Hillary's own Department of State has now turned against her and is referring her actions to the Justice Department. Hillary is in trouble.
Thanks to Stop Hillary PAC's Citizens Subpoena campaign, you have helped lay the groundwork that has activated and mobilized the American people. Even Hillary's Democratic supporters in Congress have recognized that Stop Hillary PAC is making a difference.
Reason #2:
Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi.
"What difference does it make?" A big difference! Four Americans died in the attacks on Benghazi. The American people are going to hold Hillary Clinton ultimately responsible. Hillary's excuses have turned to lies and the American people will hold her responsible.
Stop Hillary PAC is the only organization that continues to work pressure Congress AND the administration to hold Hillary accountable. With almost 1 million petitions delivered to Congress, Stop Hillary's efforts have made sure -- that even the many who would have forgotten the Benghazi tragedy -- we remember the need for justice.
Reason #1:
Congressman Trey Gowdy
Nobody is more focused on Hillary Clinton than Congressman Trey Gowdy and his House Committee on Benghazi. Time after time, Congressman Gowdy has outmaneuvered Hillary's attorneys, and he refuses to allow Hillary's lies and misdeeds to go away.
AND no other organization has provided more grassroots support, public backing, and raw political muscle to keep the pressure on Hillary.
If you are still committed to defeating Hillary -- will you make a sustaining contribution to ensure Stop Hillary PAC has the resources to continue to hammer Hillary Clinton every day until she is defeated?

Support the Constitution support H.R. 540/S. 255
From Campaign For Liberty:
One reason the Founders crafted the 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was to stop government from depriving citizens of their life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
In fact, when discussing these rights in 1772, Samuel Adams wrote, "Now what liberty can there be where property is taken away without consent?"
But today, government policing for profit operations are set to ramp up around the country.
I'm afraid they're going to follow the lead of our new Attorney General Loretta Lynch who confiscated nearly a BILLION DOLLARS worth of civil assets as a U.S. prosecutor!
This is bad, bad news.
According to the Department of Justice's statistics, it seized over $4.4 BILLION from American citizens in 2012 alone.
It's just ONE of 12 federal agencies throwing "innocent until proven guilty" out the window to make seizures!
And these figures don't even include the tens of BILLIONS local governments seize from innocent law-abiding Americans every year!
This can of worms was originally opened to give law enforcement more power to fight their Drug War.
Now, it's spiraling out of control as government increasingly looks for any excuse to confiscate anyone's property to pad their own coffers.
Many times, it's the poor who are targeted -- because government officials know they often can't afford high-priced attorneys or the court fees it takes to fight back.
How long until these rogue police powers are used to target citizens whose growing gun collections government believes are "suspicious?"
Or carry cash on family vacations instead of credit cards to help keep track of spending?
With money-hungry government goons becoming even more brazen with the backing of President Obama's new Attorney General, Loretta Lynch -- I'm counting on your IMMEDIATE action to help me stop this madness.
As you'll see, I've created petitions to your U.S. Representatives and Senators insisting they cosponsor and vote for the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration (FAIR) Act, S. 255/H.R. 540.
If passed, the FAIR Act, introduced by my son, Senator Rand Paul, would finally END the policing for profit operations around the United States that is bleeding innocent Americans dry.
That's why I'm counting on your action in support of the FAIR Act today!
With a tidal wave of grassroots pressure, I believe you and I can FORCE Congress to act to restore the Fifth Amendment.
But even if you and I can just force a vote, it's a win/win situation.
Let members of Congress try and defend their votes to allow rogue government agencies outright theft of innocent -- and often poor -- Americans' property.
They'll pay a steep price at the polls in 2016!
So please, take a moment to sign your petitions in support of the FAIR Act today.
As former Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen once said, "When I feel the heat, I see the light."
After you've signed, I hope you'll make your most generous contribution to Campaign for Liberty today to help them turn up the heat and end the practice of "civil asset theft"!
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. Legalized government theft under the official-sounding euphemism "Civil Asset Forfeiture" is a racket that would make the mafia proud.
With government agencies around the country set to follow Attorney General Loretta Lynch's lead and ramp up their stealing of innocent Americans' wealth, I'm counting on your IMMEDIATE action.

How conservative are you?
From Buck For Colorado:
How conservative are you?
Are you a bigger supporter of Liberty than members of Congress?
I hope so. And if you are I'm asking you to prove it by joining me in signing the Conservative Action Pledge – pledging your support for a MUCH more conservative Congress.
I'll admit – it was an honor to be recognized as the most conservative member of Congress by the Heritage Foundation.
You see, Heritage Action for America recently released their ratings on every member of Congress and I was the only member to receive 100% – a perfect score.
But more important than how conservative I am – I want to know how conservative you are. Are you more conservative than Congress?
Will you join me in signing the Conservative Action Pledge – pledging your support for a MUCH more conservative Congress??? I need to know that there are other God-fearing, Constitution-respecting, gun-owning, liberty-loving Americans who are more conservative than Congress. Will you sign?
Your pledge will help me stand strong when the Washington establishment is pushing to sell out our conservative values. And sell out our Constitution is what they do on a regular basis.
You see, because I continue to fight against the Washington machine – I have put a huge target on my back.
And because my voting record has ranked me the most conservative member of Congress, the media elite, liberal Democrats and even some in my own party are targeting me for defeat. They would like nothing more than to defeat the most conservative member of Congress.
But as Ronald Reagan once said, and I'm paraphrasing... "I didn't come to Washington to swim with the alligators; I came to drain the swamp."
I didn't come to Washington to make friends. I came to fight for conservative principles and if doing the right thing makes few friends in Washington, D.C. – so be it.
But I do need the support of American conservatives like you.
That's why I'm asking you to sign my Conservative Action Pledge and show your support for a MUCH more conservative Congress. Will you stand for conservative values by clicking here today?
One more thing, after you sign, I hope you will make a small gift to support my campaign. I haven't made friends with the lobbyists and Super PACs that dominate politics today. I've spent my time fighting for you.
Will you chip in as much as $35 to help me fight the Washington establishment? Even $25 or $15 would be a huge help. Whatever you can afford will be faithfully used to advance the conservative values you and I hold dear.
Regards,
Ken Buck
P.S. – I'm doing exactly what I ran for Congress to do – fight for conservative American values – stand up for the Constitution and fight the Washington establishment. Will you stand with me by signing your Conservative Action Pledge now? Thanks, Ken
Ken Buck is a good guy. Not only is he pro-liberty in Washington he was anti-feminist in Colorado. Ken Buck,when he was a prosecutor in Colorado refused to railroad an innocent man just because his girlfriend wanted to teach him a lesson by filing a false rape charge. It's good to see statesmen in Washington instead of the usual politicians.

Help fight TPP
From Demand Progress:
The final Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement could be just days away—and it’s going to take a major last-minute push to stop it.
Right now, corporate lobbyists and government officials are meeting behind closed doors in Hawaii to hammer out the final details of this massive corporate trade deal.
They've set a goal of finalizing the TPP by this Saturday—yet not one word of the agreement or the negotiations has been made public.
Hundreds of thousands of Demand Progress members have weighed in against the TPP, and we're pushing hard to stop this massive corporate giveaway.
Will you chip in $5 to help stop the secret TPP corporate trade deal?
The reason the TPP is being written in secret is because they know if the public knew the truth, there would be a huge corporate backlash.
Thanks to leaks by courageous whistleblowers, we do know some of the details.1 And it’s not pretty.
Draft versions of the TPP would:
•Allow corporations to sue sovereign governments to overturn democratically enacted protections for the environment and consumers.
•Sneak in SOPA-like attacks on Internet freedom.
•Overturn protections against Wall Street recklessness.
•Reduce penalties on human trafficking.2
That’s why the TPP is being called “NAFTA on steroids.”
A final deal on the TPP could be literally days away. Will you chip in $5 for our last-minute final push to stop it?
Yes, I'll chip in $5 to help stop the secret TPP corporate trade deal.
Thanks for standing with us.

Reward Ted Cruz for standing up to the establishment
From Make DC Listen:
By now I’m sure you’ve heard that Ted Cruz stood up on the Senate floor and revealed to the world what goes on behind closed doors in Washington.
Senator Cruz dared to shine light on the Washington Cartel, and it was a breath of fresh air. Finally, someone told the truth.
The sad part is that Senator Cruz confirmed what most Americans have long-suspected: Washington is run on secret, backroom deals that only grow the size of government and help politicians cling to power.
It’s become abundantly clear the there’s no difference between the two parties in Washington anymore.
But, as you might expect, because Senator Cruz told the truth, he is now being viciously attacked by the Republican graybeards.
He needs your help to fight back!
Will you please take this opportunity to donate directly to Senator Cruz’s campaign for president?
Nothing would threaten the Washington Cartel more than seeing Ted Cruz succeed. They know that he's the only candidate for president in 2016 who has shown the courage to consistently stand up to them.
Senator Cruz has strong momentum right now because he is telling the truth and disrupting the establishment status quo, but that means he will be attacked even more, and he needs your help.
This is the time for conservatives to unite behind Senator Cruz to show the establishment – we’re not going to take it anymore!
Please join this insurgent fight and donate as much as you can right away directly to the Cruz for President campaign.
Make DC Listen PAC covers all fundraising and processing fees so 100% of your donation will go to the Cruz campaign.
We know the establishment will have access to unlimited money, but Senator Cruz has the power of the grassroots.
Working together, we can defeat the Washington Cartel and make sure America’s best days remain ahead.
For Liberty,
John Drogin
Executive Director, Make DC Listen
Cruz for Senate Campaign Manager, 2012
P.S. Ted Cruz told the truth loud and clear about how Washington really works… and of course leaders of his own party attacked him for it. Please help Senator Cruz fight back against the DC establishment by donating directly to the Cruz for President campaign. Thank you!

Help keep the pressure up on Planned Parenthood
From Rand2016:
Planned Parenthood is scrambling after my announcement that I've secured a vote on my bill to strip them of every last dime of taxpayer funding before the August recess.
And they're fighting back with everything they have to hang on to their taxpayer funded handouts.
With the Senate scheduled to recess August 7th, time is running out.
You and I have come so far in just the past few days, but we have very little time to mobilize. I need your help to dial up the pressure on my colleagues to vote for my bill.
So please call your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121 and insist they "Stand with Rand" and vote for my bill to defund Planned Parenthood.
And please let me know you've got my back by adding your name as a Citizen Co-Sponsor.
The bad news just keeps coming for Planned Parenthood.
In a new video released today, one Planned Parenthood employee admitted she nearly passed out when she was asked to dismember a "freshly aborted" baby.
The video also catches a Planned Parenthood Vice President discussing how to maximize profits from selling the aborted baby parts, saying she thinks a "per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it."
But perhaps one of the most disgusting parts of the video shows a Planned Parenthood technician using tweezers to pick through a pile of aborted baby parts.
When the technician finds a pair of intact kidneys, someone off-camera laughs out loud and says "Five stars!"
This is sickening. And Planned Parenthood knows they're in hot water.
They've even hired one of Washington's top Democratic PR firms in a desperate attempt to suppress coverage of the undercover videos.
And this massive PR firm is now threatening any reporter who dares to air the video because they know just how damaging they are to Planned Parenthood's very existence.
I'm afraid Planned Parenthood's attack dogs have painted a giant target on my back as the #1 threat to their half a BILLION dollars a year in taxpayer money.
But I refuse to back down.
With Congress' power of the purse, this is one fight you and I can win even with President Obama in the White House.
I'm counting on you to help me pass my bill to strip Planned Parenthood of every last dime of taxpayer funding.
Please call your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121 and insist they "Stand with Rand" and vote for my bill to defund Planned Parenthood and then let me know you've got my back by adding your name as a Citizen Co-Sponsor.
I need you in my corner on this one.
Please chip in a contribution of $20.16 to help me mobilize as many folks as possible to keep up the pressure to pass my bill.
Time is short. Please take immediate action.

On Hillary and Iran
This is a sad time for America. The White House,FBI,NSA,IRS and State Department are controlled by the Democratic National Committee. The White House is politicalized,that is to be expected but the others are supposed to be neutral. These are the governmental organizations that Obama controls. The government bodies that he can't control,The House Of Representatives and The Senate,he does an end run around. Obama said he got the United Nations to ratify his bullshit deal with Iran. The United Nations?!! THE UNITED NATIONS !!! I fucking hate the United Nations. All the United Nations wants to do is take your dick or your gun away. Those are there only agendas they have: outlaw men and outlaw guns. Why the fuck would I want to help the UN? Congress is bullshit too,approving the Corker bill that severely handicaps their ability to add libertarian amendments to otherwise draconian bills so instead it's a up and down,approve all or none vote that the People don't want. The Iran deal is bullshit. Tell the Senate not to ratify this bullshit. The only ones celebrating this deal are the mullahs. Everyone else hates it. If you hate it too let your Senator know too. As far as Hillary is concerned,two inspector generals have submitted forms to Department Of Justice Criminal Investigations Department calling for them to investigate Hillary and her emails. Will the DOJ pick this up and run with it? Who knows. The only thing I can say is stay tuned.

Defund Planned Parenthood by supporting H.R. 22
From Rand2016:
The liberal media is doing everything they can to hide Planned Parenthood's practice of aborting babies, dismembering them and then selling their body parts for profit.
They know, as more is found out, the more the American people recoil in horror and DEMAND action!
But I'm not about to let Planned Parenthood off the hook for this madness.
Yesterday, I introduced an Amendment to H.R. 22 (the vehicle for the highway bill) to Defund Planned Parenthood.
That's why I'm counting on you to click here and sign your DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD petition to your U.S. Congressman and Senators right away.
With the Republican Congress' power of the purse, I believe this is a fight you and I can win -- even with President Obama in the White House.
With your help, I believe this fight will FORCE this issue to the front page of the news (where pro-abortion radicals fear it the most), and save innocent lives in the process.
But time is short. There's no telling when this fight could reach the floor of the U.S. Congress.
And as I write you, there are new developments every day!
In fact, the U.S. House's Commerce Committee has already asked Dr. Deborah Nucatola -- Planned Parenthood's Senior Director of Medical Services -- to answer questions about the recent undercover video that launched this scandal.
Like most Americans, I recoiled in horror as I watched Dr. Nucatola brazenly discuss over a bowl of salad how she skirted the federal ban on partial birth abortion and killed unborn babies to ensure she could harvest their organs for sale, stating:
"We've been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, I'm not gonna crush that part, I'm gonna basically crush below, I'm gonna crush above, and I'm gonna see if I can get it all intact."
After Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell's murder trial -- and news of a Texas abortionist twisting babies' heads off who were born alive -- I'm afraid this latest Planned Parenthood scandal is just another example of the abortion lobby's sick radicalism.
And Planned Parenthood is doing it all with our tax dollars!
In 2014, Planned Parenthood raked in almost $550 million in taxpayer funding.
Despite the abortion lobby's claims, more tax dollars for Planned Parenthood equals more abortion. PERIOD.
In fact, an 80% increase in funding for Planned Parenthood resulted in a 70% increase in abortion over a ten-year period!
Yet, virtually all you hear from our national media is silence.
Where are the tough questions and self-righteous reporters demanding to "get to the bottom of this" like they would if this was a Republican scandal?
With the Republican presidential debate season about to hit full swing, you and I both know reporters are already crafting their gotcha questions to try and skewer conservatives for simply being conservative.
But these same "objective" media mouthpieces give Planned Parenthood and their Democrat allies a free pass?
I haven't heard one member of the media discuss how Hillary Clinton admits she "admires" Margaret Sanger -- the Planned Parenthood founder who makes most Americans' skin crawl with her harsh public statements and issue advocacy, including:
*** Stating, "The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it;"
*** Advocating mandatory government permits to have children;
*** Supporting eugenics and the sterilization of the "feeble-minded" and others for "racial betterment."
With your help, I'm ready to blow the lid off of this new Planned Parenthood scandal.
I believe this organization deserves our scorn. NOT our tax dollars.
And like so many pro-lifers, I've flat-out had it with the media's outrageous bias over the abortion issue.
Less than 24 hours after I announced my candidacy for President of the United States, a reporter in New Hampshire tried to SMEAR me for my pro-life record.
I turned the tables on pro-abortion Democrats and asked why they aren't ever called to the carpet for their radicalism.
If the media won't do it, I will.
With your help, I believe this fight will finally show the American people that the Abortion Lobby and their allies in Congress are the true extremists in the fight over abortion.
They're the ones that still support lifting the federal ban on Partial Birth Abortion!
I know pro-abortion Democrats have to be scared of voting against you and me after news that Planned Parenthood is aborting unborn babies and selling off their organs.
Many know that if they dare to vote against my amendment to STOP all taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, they'll likely run into a buzz saw at the polls in 2016.
That's why I believe we can win this fight and set the stage for even more massive pro-life victories with the election of a pro-life President.
As a U.S. Senator, I've earned a 100% pro-life voting record. I've introduced the federal Life at Conception Act to use the U.S. Supreme Court's own words to end abortion-on-demand nationwide.
I’m leading the fight by introducing an amendment to defund Planned Parenthood.
And if elected President, I will fight with everything I have to end abortion-on-demand. It's my promise to you.
But first things first.
Please click here to sign your DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD petition IMMEDIATELY.
And if possible, please chip in $20.16 right away.
Your support will help me mobilize millions of pro-lifers from all over the country to help me turn up the heat on Congress.
If you and I can finally DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD, it will save innocent unborn life, expose pro-abortion Democrats' radicalism and set the stage for even more pro-life victories!
So please act at once.

P.S. I'm not about to allow our national media to cover up Planned Parenthood's scandal of aborting babies, dismembering them and selling their body parts for profit.
Instead, I'm ready to show the American people just how radical the abortion lobby and their allies in Congress are.
But I'm counting on your IMMEDIATE action.

The liberal media is doing everything they can to hide Planned Parenthood's practice of aborting babies, dismembering them and then selling their body parts for profit.
They know, as more is found out, the more the American people recoil in horror and DEMAND action!
But I'm not about to let Planned Parenthood off the hook for this madness.
Yesterday, I introduced an Amendment to H.R. 22 (the vehicle for the highway bill) to Defund Planned Parenthood.
That's why I'm counting on you to click here and sign your DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD petition to your U.S. Congressman and Senators right away.
With the Republican Congress' power of the purse, I believe this is a fight you and I can win -- even with President Obama in the White House.
With your help, I believe this fight will FORCE this issue to the front page of the news (where pro-abortion radicals fear it the most), and save innocent lives in the process.
But time is short. There's no telling when this fight could reach the floor of the U.S. Congress.
And as I write you, there are new developments every day!
In fact, the U.S. House's Commerce Committee has already asked Dr. Deborah Nucatola -- Planned Parenthood's Senior Director of Medical Services -- to answer questions about the recent undercover video that launched this scandal.
Like most Americans, I recoiled in horror as I watched Dr. Nucatola brazenly discuss over a bowl of salad how she skirted the federal ban on partial birth abortion and killed unborn babies to ensure she could harvest their organs for sale, stating:
"We've been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, I'm not gonna crush that part, I'm gonna basically crush below, I'm gonna crush above, and I'm gonna see if I can get it all intact."
After Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell's murder trial -- and news of a Texas abortionist twisting babies' heads off who were born alive -- I'm afraid this latest Planned Parenthood scandal is just another example of the abortion lobby's sick radicalism.
And Planned Parenthood is doing it all with our tax dollars!
In 2014, Planned Parenthood raked in almost $550 million in taxpayer funding.
Despite the abortion lobby's claims, more tax dollars for Planned Parenthood equals more abortion. PERIOD.
In fact, an 80% increase in funding for Planned Parenthood resulted in a 70% increase in abortion over a ten-year period!
Yet, virtually all you hear from our national media is silence.
Where are the tough questions and self-righteous reporters demanding to "get to the bottom of this" like they would if this was a Republican scandal?
With the Republican presidential debate season about to hit full swing, you and I both know reporters are already crafting their gotcha questions to try and skewer conservatives for simply being conservative.
But these same "objective" media mouthpieces give Planned Parenthood and their Democrat allies a free pass?
I haven't heard one member of the media discuss how Hillary Clinton admits she "admires" Margaret Sanger -- the Planned Parenthood founder who makes most Americans' skin crawl with her harsh public statements and issue advocacy, including:
*** Stating, "The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it;"
*** Advocating mandatory government permits to have children;
*** Supporting eugenics and the sterilization of the "feeble-minded" and others for "racial betterment."
With your help, I'm ready to blow the lid off of this new Planned Parenthood scandal.
I believe this organization deserves our scorn. NOT our tax dollars.
And like so many pro-lifers, I've flat-out had it with the media's outrageous bias over the abortion issue.
Less than 24 hours after I announced my candidacy for President of the United States, a reporter in New Hampshire tried to SMEAR me for my pro-life record.
I turned the tables on pro-abortion Democrats and asked why they aren't ever called to the carpet for their radicalism.
If the media won't do it, I will.
With your help, I believe this fight will finally show the American people that the Abortion Lobby and their allies in Congress are the true extremists in the fight over abortion.
They're the ones that still support lifting the federal ban on Partial Birth Abortion!

Senators To Feds: Do More To Facilitate Medical Marijuana Research
Washington, DC: Senate leaders on both sides of the political aisle are demanding the federal government take steps to facilitate clinical cannabis research.
On July 9, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), along with Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Edward Markey (D-MA), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), and Ron Wyden (D-OR), sent a formal letter to representatives of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) urging them to take efforts to better facilitate "large scale clinical trials" in regard to the use of medical marijuana in states that have legalized it.
The letters states: "HHS has tools to collect data, conduct surveillance, and perform large scale clinical trials while states continue to focus on implementation. HHS has the capacity to facilitate interstate communication in order to derive a more accurate picture of medical marijuana use and treatments across the country. It is time for the federal government to pick up these tools and use them."
The Democratic Senators also called on the federal government to diversify its sources of research-grade cannabis and demanded that they eliminate "extraneous regulatory barriers for researchers who wish to perform scientific studies on the use of marijuana for various diseases."
Their sentiments were echoed in a Time Magazine op-ed penned by Democrat Sen. Diane Feinstein (CA) and Republican Sen. Charles Grassley (IA), who similarly demanded the Feds "cut red tape and streamline the licensing and regulatory processes so [that medical marijuana] research can move ahead."
The two Senators further asked the administration to "definitively determine if CBD (cannabidiol) has scientific and medical benefits," and to "look at expanding compassionate access programs where possible, to benefit as many children as possible."
Both Senators had previously been outspoken critics of proposed changes in state laws permitting qualified patients to use cannabis therapeutically.
Federal regulations currently demand that investigators seeking to conduct clinical trials with cannabis or organic cannabinoids (such as cannabidiol) are required to gain approval from the US Food and Drug Administration, the US Drug Enforcement Administration, and the US National Institute on Drug Abuse. (An additional regulatory requirement mandating that the US Public Health Service review all clinical protocols was abolished last month.) Further, approved protocols may only utilize marijuana supplied by the University of Mississippi, the sole provider of cannabis for federally approved research. Testifying before Congress in June, NIDA Director Nora Volkow said that the agency's monopoly on the federally licensed production of marijuana for clinical research is problematic and ought to be amended to include additional producers.
Senator Warren and her co-signers have requested that their letter be answered by no later than August 31, 2015.

The age of black supremacy
"Black lives matter". If you say this you are perceived to be "cool","hip" and or "PC". But if you say "all lives matter" or say "white lives also matter" then you are a thoughtless bigot that should be placed in a re-education camp. How dare you compare other races,which are inferior,to the supreme black race. A few years ago a movie made by a couple Christians about the life and death of Jesus Christ depicted a devil that looked a lot like Barrack Obama. It caused such an uproar that the devil scene was later edited out of the movie. We wouldn't want to upset the first black president now would we. Never mind that past presidents have been criticized but we mustn't upset this one lest you are a bigot. Not just Americans but the entire world must bow down to the Obamas. A Scandinavian princess made an unflattering comment about Michelle Obama. Comparing her to an ape. This princess had to apologize. After all questioning a black person by a non-black person of inferior race. Can't have that.We see the black supremacist attitude in rap music,with certain rappers like Jay Z,that believe in black supremacy. He proved that by hosting a party for black people only. Now in Texas there is that black woman who died in police custody and the Obama administration is looking into it. Contrast that to the white woman in San Francisco who was shot by an illegal alien. Why did the White House side with the black woman over the white woman? Because this administration treats white people like they are a disease,they only care about blacks and illegal aliens. Since no illegal alien got hurt in the latter why bother. It seems that "black lives matter",too bad no one else's count.
Big Cable wants to shut down the government
From Fight For The Future:
Comcast and their friends in Congress are orchestrating an all-out sneak attack on Net Neutrality, abusing every point of process they can to gut the open Internet.
Right now, their focus is Congress’ budget process — the same process that caused the government shutdown two years ago. Already, they’ve passed 3 separate provisions in the House that would gut Net Neutrality, and just this morning they revealed a similar provision in the Senate.
This is Comcast playing chicken with Congress. They’re betting that supporters of Net Neutrality will blink first, choosing to pass provisions that gut Net Neutrality before risking another government shutdown.
So this week, we’re ramping up our campaign to protect Net Neutrality by launching an online media push that shames Comcast and their friends in Congress for trying to make the open Internet a partisan issue.
Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, and Time Warner all have hundreds of millions of dollars in DC lobbyists on their side. But we have the kind of people power that submitted 4 million comments to the FCC on Net Neutrality, and has rebuffed their attacks countless times before.
We've already proven that our grassroots movement can beat Comcast and their lobbyists. And we know that with the right mix of sheer people power and smart, creative campaigning we can beat them again.
People hate the idea that a company could have a say in what sites they can and can't visit — and that's exactly what Net Neutrality prevents.
It guarantees three basic things - that no company or government can 1. Block you from visiting a website. 2. Speed up or slow down individual websites 3. Get between you and any content, application, service, or anything else that you want to access online.
Together, we were able to pass these simple, powerful rules in the face of the millions upon millions of dollars that Comcast and their friends spent trying to stop us. But they’re not done attacking yet — and that means we can’t let up, either.
We’ve proven time and again that with smart campaigns, we can overcome anything the cable industry can throw at us. Right now, that means coming together to put an end to their attacks on Net Neutrality once and for all.

Thanks for being part of the fight for an open Internet,

It looks pretty official. Big Cable aka Comcast,Verizon,AT&T and Time Warner want to shut down the government. If you have cable tv and your getting tired of it and are already thinking of ceasing your business relationship with them and you want to support Net Neutrality perhaps now would be a good time to do so,this way you can send them a message not to be jerks about it.

Hillary and her allies attack Trey Gowdy
From Stop Hillary PAC:
Trey Gowdy is coming under intense fire for forcing Hillary Clinton to testify...now he's in political danger.
And those political enemies are now attacking Stop Hillary PAC too.
We don't have a moment to lose.
Here's the situation: As you know, Trey Gowdy has summoned Hillary Clinton to appear before the Select Committee on Benghazi for a fully transcribed, under oath interview, AND Hillary has refused!
After her refusal, the full weight of the Clinton machine is out to crush Rep. Gowdy.
In the last few days Hillary apologist and loyalist are relentlessly attacking Gowdy trying to discredit his investigation. Just look at these few examples:
>>>David Brock of the Pro-Hillary Super PAC is spending millions and accusing Gowdy of "politicizing" the Benghazi murders to "score partisan points.
>>>Democrats on the Benghazi Committee are using taxpayer dollars to attack Trey Gowdy calling his investigation a "politically motivated, $3.7 million fishing expedition."
>>>And Hillary defenders on the Committee have now turned their attacks towards Stop Hillary PAC -- and the almost one million supporters of Stop Hillary PAC -- attempting to intimidate and silence your voice and your support for Congressman Gowdy's good work.
In my experience as an elected official - for over ten years -- I know this...when your opponents attack you like this, it's time to Double Down!
The truth is, Hillary will do ANYTHING to avoid tough questioning and face accountability for her actions.
South Carolina Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy has done an expert job leading the Congressional Select Committee on Benghazi, but as he faces his largest attack yet from Hillary Clinton, her campaign apparatus, and the left wing elite media. I'm asking you to double down on your support.
That's why I'm leading the charge to rally public support for Trey Gowdy. Will you please stop what you are doing right now, and double-down on your pledge of support?
We're only going to get the truth about the attack on Benghazi through Hillary's testimony under oath. It's the only way to secure the public interest and ensure the committee has the unvarnished truth. Hillary knows that could spell the end of her run for President and her political career -- and possibly her freedom! So, she'll fight tooth and nail to keep from being forced to appear.
Gowdy's affirmed -- in light of her wiping clean the email server -- that Hillary MUST appear separately to discuss EACH of these events -- Benghazi AND her "illegal" email practices.
She's broken the law, and she won't hesitate to do it again.
Remember what happened to those that dared to uncover the truth about the Monica Lewinsky/Bill Clinton affair and Clinton's lies under oath about it? The Clintons and their friends in the media methodically destroyed the careers and reputations of those that dared to lead the impeachment proceedings, including Congressmen Bob Livingston, Bob Barr, Henry Hyde, Newt Gingrich, Helen Chenoweth, and Dan Burton.
Bottom line?
If Americans want Congressman Gowdy to uncover the truth about Benghazi and Hillary's role in it, Gowdy will need America's public support. So please, take just a second of your time to Double Down and sign your pledge.
We must let Gowdy know he has the support of Americans across the country, and that we'll fight back when faced with the mudslinging onslaught that is already racing towards him.
If Congressman Gowdy can finally uncover the truth, then perhaps we can stop Hillary once and for all...because, she MUST BE STOPPED.
That's why your personalized pledge is so important. Please click here immediately to Double Down against the attacks.
And in order to achieve that goal, WE NEED YOU ON OUR TEAM TODAY.
Here's how you can help:
1.First, go here and sign the pledge to "Stand with Gowdy and Stop Hillary PAC." It's vital we build public support for Congressman Gowdy.
2.Tell your friends! Please forward this email to every friend or family member that agrees with you that we MUST stop Hillary tomorrow by supporting Congressman Trey Gowdy today. Also, post on facebook, twitter, and every other social media outlet to spread the word.
3.Make a donation. We simply cannot achieve our goals without building a substantial war chest. Hillary and pro-Hillary PACs have already raised over 50 million to propel her to office. We can't match that dollar for dollar but we don't need to in order to win. So please, once you've signed -- make a donation today. If you can afford a donation of $50, $100, $250, $500 or more, I would encourage you to do so today. However, even a smaller symbolic donation of $20.16 will go a long way in helping pay for our efforts.
Please, don't delay, join our team by signing the pledge to Double Down. Stand with Gowdy and Stop Hillary PAC against the attacks and make a donation today.
For America!

Chris Christie blames Rand Paul for Chattanooga shooting
I see Chris Christie or should I say pissed pissy is throwing a hissy fit. He has the nerve to blame Senator Rand Paul for the Chattanooga shooting at the military recruitment center there. Pissy Christie had to nerve to say that since Senator Paul fought back against the NSA's illegal spy program that targeted innocent people that Paul is at fault for making America weaker. The data mining the NSA conducted did not work and it compromised American citizens Constitutional liberties. Data mining does not work or else we could have stopped the Boston bombers before they carried out their terrorist acts. If Christie believes data mining does work then he more than welcome to look at the facts before running his mouth. Paul enjoys the backing of the people and high approval numbers. Christie is a statist that has neither in his corner. In fact his numbers are quite dismal. When one makes these comparisons between the two candidates you can see whom the superior candidate is and it is not Chris Christie.
Rand Paul wants to destoy the unfair tax code
From Rand2016:
Burn it.
Shove it through a wood chipper.
Or chop it up with a chainsaw.
How would you destroy our over 70,000 page tax code?
My campaign has prepared a special video about my plan to drive a stake through the heart of the IRS and I hope you will take a few moments to watch it.
My 14.5% Fair and Flat tax plan will return over $2 trillion to the American people.
It's your money and the Washington Machine is going to have to learn to live on a diet.
In fact, the lobbyists and insiders who game the system will hate my plan the most.
But that's ok.
I'm not running to "manage" Washington.
Business-as-usual plunged our nation $18.3 trillion in debt and allows our tax code to strangle economic growth.
I'm in this race to upend the status quo and defeat the Washington Machine.
That starts with kicking the IRS out of your life for good.
My plan is the biggest and boldest tax cut in American history.
It slashes FICA – the worker tax – to zero. It's gone for good.
Ronald Reagan ignited an economic boom that carried our country for two decades by slashing tax rates.
My plan will follow his model by providing real economic stimulus and exploding the GDP over 10% in the first ten years.
And you will be able to file your taxes on a simple one page form.
I can hear the shrieks from Capitol Hill.
The special interests and the entrenched politicians already label me "Enemy #1."
And with polls showing me leading Hillary Clinton in key swing states, I know they are going to double-down on their smear campaign against me.
So please take a few moments to watch my campaign's video and complete your "Fair and Flat Tax Now!" petition.
After you add your name, please chip in a contribution of $20.16 to help my campaign get this video in front of as many voters in the key early caucus and primary states as possible.
I'm fighting to take our country back. I hope you will join me today.
In Liberty,
Rand Paul

Net Neutrality opponents threaten to shut down the government
From Demand Progress:
Comcast's war on Net Neutrality has gone nuclear--and their friends in Congress continue to threaten to shut down the federal government to stop it.
A few weeks ago, House Republicans attached a provision blocking Net Neutrality to a must-pass spending bill that funds the federal government.1
And a key Senate committee has scheduled a vote THIS WEEK to add the same anti-Net Neutrality to their version of the bill.
They think Net Neutrality supporters will give in if we're faced with a possible government shutdown. It's up to us to prove them wrong.
Will you chip in $5 to help stop these attacks on Net Neutrality?
We've already proven that grassroots efforts can beat back Comcast's attacks on Net Neutrality.
Most people thought the FCC would never enact strong Net Neutrality rules in the first place. And last week, Comcast's allies were forced to delay a full vote in the House on the bill threatening a government shutdown over Net Neutrality.
But we need to keep flooding Congress with phone calls and make sure that voters know which senators vote for--or against--the free and open Internet.
This is the biggest threat we're facing since the FCC's historic rule went into effect. The stakes are huge. And we're counting on you to stand with us.
Will you chip in $5 to help fund the grassroots organizing we need to win?
Yes, I'll donate $5 to help defend Net Neutrality.
Thanks for standing with us.

Comcast's war on Net Neutrality has gone nuclear--and their friends in Congress continue to threaten to shut down the federal government to stop it.
A few weeks ago, House Republicans attached a provision blocking Net Neutrality to a must-pass spending bill that funds the federal government.1
And a key Senate committee has scheduled a vote THIS WEEK to add the same anti-Net Neutrality to their version of the bill.
They think Net Neutrality supporters will give in if we're faced with a possible government shutdown. It's up to us to prove them wrong.
Will you chip in $5 to help stop these attacks on Net Neutrality?

Comcast is underhanded sneaky
Fight For The Future:
Two years ago, Congress shut down the entire federal government because they couldn’t agree on a funding bill. Now, Comcast is trying to sneak anti-Net Neutrality provisions into the must-pass budget bill, betting Congress won't risk shutting down the government over it.
Tell Congress: Don’t do Comcast’s dirty work — listen to the 4 million Americans who overwhelmingly spoke out in favor of Net Neutrality and leave the rules alone.
This is Comcast's sneakiest, most underhanded attack yet. They're hoping Net Neutrality supporters succumb to the pressure to pass any funding bill to avoid another shutdown, giving them an opening to sneak through a provision to kill Net Neutrality.
They've already buried three provisions hundreds of pages deep in the House bill, and any one of them would be enough to kill Net Neutrality. The Senate is poised to take up the issue sometime in the next two weeks, which means that now is the time to take action to protect Net Neutrality.
Tell Congress that you support Net Neutrality and that they need to leave the new rules alone.
It's ridiculous that Net Neutrality still has to be debated. The rules are simple protections that say four basic things:
•Cable Companies and their friends in government can't block you from visiting a website. So you can visit any site that you want.
•They can't slow down access to websites. So the sites you want to visit will come to you as quickly as the sites Comcast wishes you were visiting.
•They can't speed up or make certain websites load faster. This is absolutely critical, because if they could speed up certain sites, that functionally means slowing down other sites.
•They can’t get between you and any content, application, service, or anything else that you want to access online. That is explicitly one of the rules. Just in case the other rules don’t cover something.
And on top of that, there are absolutely no new taxes or fees anywhere in the rules. At all.
These rules are simple, powerful protections for the open Internet — and we have them because of millions of people like you taking action. Now, we need to speak out again to make sure Comcast and Congress can’t get in the way.
Tell Congress to let the FCC implement the new Net Neutrality rules.

Demand a vote to defund Planned Parenthood
From Rand2016:
The liberal media is doing everything it can to sweep Planned Parenthood's most recent scandal under the rug...
They know – as more is found out about our nation's leading abortion provider aborting babies and selling their body parts – the more the American people recoil in horror.
But I'm not about to let them get their way.
Earlier today, I announced I will fight to STOP ALL hardworking Americans' tax dollars from going to Planned Parenthood.
Every red cent.
But this fight could come to a head as early as next week!
So I must be able to count on your IMMEDIATE action.
The good news is, if you act right away, I believe this is a fight we can not only win...
...I believe this fight will lead to a massive pro-life Republican tidal wave election in 2016 – whether our media likes it or not!
After Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell's murder trial – and news of a Texas abortionist twisting babies' heads off who were born alive – Planned Parenthood's scandal is just another example of the abortion lobby's utter radicalism.
Yet, where is our media?
Where are the tough questions and self-righteous reporters demanding to "get to the bottom of this" like they would if this was a Republican scandal?
The first of the Republican presidential debates is set to take place in just a few weeks.
You and I both know reporters already crafting their "gotcha" questions to try and skewer conservatives for simply being conservative.
But these same "objective" media mouthpieces give Planned Parenthood and their Democrat allies a free pass?
Even after a top-ranking Planned Parenthood Executive was caught on-camera explaining how they skirt the federal ban on Partial Birth Abortion and sell aborted babies' organs?
The little reporting that has been done has only been half-hearted.
And I haven't heard a peep out of Hillary Clinton about this!
I haven't heard one member of the media discuss how Hillary Clinton admits she "admires" Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger.
The woman who stated, "The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
The woman who advocated mandatory government permitting to have children.
The Abortion Lobby and their allies in Congress are the true 'extremists' in the fight over abortion.
They support killing a seven-pound baby in the womb. They support sex selection abortions.
The Democrat Party national platform even calls for lifting the federal ban on Partial Birth Abortion!
And if you can help me generate a tidal wave of support for ENDING all taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, they'll be no hiding these facts.
As far as I'm concerned, Planned Parenthood deserves our scorn. NOT our tax dollars.
And I'm prepared to lead this battle.
But I must have your support.
It's time the American people learned the truth about the Democrats' abortion radicalism.
With your help, I'm determined to make that happen.
So please sign your "Stand for Life: Defund Planned Parenthood" petition and chip in a contribution of $20.16 right away.
In Liberty,

Should the National Right To Work Committee fight on or give up?
From The National Right To Work Committee:
Let me get right to the point.
Over the past 12 months, the union bosses' seemingly endless power grabs -- perpetrated with the help of Obama's radical National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) -- have been "taxing" the National Right to Work Foundation's resources like never before.
And that means you and I face some difficult decisions.
First, the good news: I'm increasingly encouraged that America's waking up to just how dangerous Big Labor's $20 billion (BILLION!) empire is . . .
. . . How they extort the precious wages of hard-working men and women as a condition of employment and corrupt our politics, strangle businesses, penalize taxpayers and mock our Constitution.
In 2012, Indiana and Michigan rejected forced unionism and became the 23rd and 24th Right to Work states.
And just a few months ago, Wisconsin followed suit and became America's 25th Right to Work state!
But as you and I know, Big Labor does not easily relinquish its forced-dues power, so union boss lawyers are attacking these reforms in the courts.
The good news is, your National Right to Work Foundation is going toe-to-toe with union boss lawyers, defending these laws from Big Labor's legal assaults.
But make no mistake: The Obama Administration's sweetheart deals for Big Labor, and the $1.7 billion political spending blitz by the union bosses in 2012, have exposed just how powerful Big Labor remains.
Powerful union officials and their government allies are fuming mad at the hard-fought battles opponents of forced unionism have won in recent years, and they're using every trick in the book not only to take back lost ground, but also to expand their forced-dues power.
That's why I must hear from you immediately. Please sign your Confidential Supporter Directive right away.
Fighting the Obama Administration's power grabs for Big Labor is taxing the National Right to Work Foundation's resources like never before.
And even in the face of their recent setbacks, forced-unionism advocates aren't throwing in the towel.
On the contrary, with BILLIONS of forced-dues dollars at stake, the union bosses are redoubling efforts to reclaim lost ground and expand their forced-unionism privileges.
And they have a powerful ally in the Obama-stacked NLRB, which just declared war on all state Right to Work laws.
A Foundation client and I were invited to testify at a Congressional hearing on this issue earlier this month.
That's why your Right to Work Foundation's work is so critical.
The fact is, taking on the out-of-control NLRB is just one of the fronts we're fighting on.
With nearly 200 active cases right now, here's just a glimpse of what Foundation attorneys are working on:
*** Five federal lawsuits designed to build on the reasoning the U.S. Supreme Court gave in our Harris and Knox precedents with the goal of ending other government-granted Big Labor forced-unionism schemes, including union bosses' power to extract forced dues from public employees.
*** Scores of cases attacking Big Labor's use of forced dues to fund its political machine -- vitally important now as union operatives are already gearing up to install another puppet politician in the White House and take back the U.S. Senate.
*** Challenges to the aggressive compulsory unionism policies pushed by Obama appointees in the executive branch, including the Department of Labor and the NLRB.
*** Critical cases defending and enforcing state Right to Work protections, especially in the newest Right to Work states: Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Here's the rub. Your Foundation continues to operate on a tight budget in 2015, and it's crucial we allocate our resources to cover all our bases.
Soon, I'll sit down with the five-member Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees to decide whether changes must be made in the Foundation's program budget.
But before I do, I'd like to have your guidance and help.
Can you spare just a few minutes of your time and fill out your Supporter Directive?
You see, right now choices must be made among certain priorities in our program. And I'm asking your advice before I act.
The fact is, I'd rather scale back in a few fights (even though we believe we could win!) than get stretched too thin.
Here's an in-depth view of some of the most important fights the Foundation is waging right now:
>>> Pushing forward with cutting-edge cases that directly challenge the constitutionality of forced union dues for all public employees.
In our most recent Supreme Court victories, the Justices indicated that they may be open to repealing all forced dues in the government sector, and Foundation staff attorneys are working on filing a brief in one such challenge right now.
>>> Attacking forced-dues-for-politics schemes and illegal diversion of union money into partisan politics.
After all, you and I know we can't just trust union bosses to voluntarily comply with Foundation-won precedents that protect employees from forced-dues-for-politics schemes.
>>> Defending workers from Big Labor's aggressive Top Down Forced-Unionism strategy.
Utilizing new Obama NLRB rules, Big Labor is expanding its aggressive organizing tactics to push more workers into forced-unionism ranks, including quick-snap elections and "Card Check."
>>> Bolstering our outreach program. The impact of our legal victories is limited if workers aren't informed.
Our informational campaigns ensure workers harmed by Organized Labor's forced-dues schemes know they have an ally in the fight to resist union boss subjugation.
I'm sure you can see why now would be a terrible time to throttle back our efforts.
But I need input from our supporters detailing where you want the Foundation to focus our efforts.
So please fill out your Confidential Supporter Directive right away.
The fact is, in the coming months, Big Labor will unleash their multi-billion dollar, forced-dues-funded political warchest to maintain their iron-fisted control of the White House, recapture the U.S. Senate and take over state legislatures and governors' mansions nationwide.
But your Foundation is hitting back hard -- fighting forced-dues-for-politics schemes in state courts and agencies, in federal courts and at the NLRB.
With the union bosses using their political clout to launch still more power grabs, it's vital that you and I not let up now.
I hope you understand what a profound threat opponents of forced unionism face.
Time after time, you have loyally stood with the Right to Work Foundation as we have fought pivotal battles.
After all you and I have achieved, it would be a devastating blow to have to pull back -- especially now when our achievements hold the promise of attracting new supporters to our cause.
In fact, national leaders including Steve Forbes and U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-ID) are helping in a nationwide campaign to build new support for Right to Work. But identifying and recruiting new supporters takes resources, too.
So, along with your completed Supporter Directive, I hope I can count on your most generous tax-deductible contribution right away.
You see, with the spate of Right to Work victories, union officials are pressing harder and in more sophisticated ways to expand their forced-dues empire.
That's why it's vital the Right to Work Foundation keep up the fight on all fronts.
And why your completed Supporter Directive is so important.
At this moment, Foundation attorneys are representing tens of thousands of employees in nearly 200 active legal aid cases.
Each case is unique, and vital precedents are at stake. It is difficult to consider abandoning any of them.
But fighting all the battles I've described will cost an estimated $4,960,000 through the end of the year.
And, if the Foundation is not in a strong position, there's no doubt Big Labor will be all the more eager to launch new attacks on America's workers or on the Foundation itself.
The fact is, for many years, the National Right to Work Foundation has stood in the breach. And you've stood with us.
Now, I'm writing to you and all of the Foundation's best supporters because, according to my calculations, if you and our other most generous supporters gave a tax-deductible gift of $10 to the Foundation today, it would be enough to fully fund the rest of our 2015 program.
I realize that $10 is a lot to ask, but too much is at stake and your Committee needs your help.
Unfortunately, I know a few people won't or can't give at all right now, and I understand that.
They will count on others to carry their load. Some folks may set this letter aside (despite the urgency) and forget to send a contribution.
That's why, if you can, please consider making a $10 contribution today to fund our vital programs.
It could be that's more than you've given as a single gift before, but I hope you will seriously consider this request.
More than anything, your investment is a testament to just how critical the Foundation's ongoing projects are.
If I can count on generous donors like you to give such a contribution now, I could put aside any thoughts of scaling back our programs and focus on challenging Big Labor's forced-dues assaults.
You see, with your investment, the Foundation can maintain and hopefully even increase its aggressive attack on Big Labor's compulsory unionism schemes.
If, for some reason, you just can't send $10 today, please give at least $5 or whatever you can afford right away.
Whether you send $10 or $5 -- or if a lesser amount is the most you can do -- please fill out your Confidential Supporter Directive giving me your advice, and please be as generous as you are able.
Please, help today. Your support will make a real difference.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
P.S. Your National Right to Work Foundation stands in the breach, protecting the right of all Americans to be free from union boss tyranny.
Yet at this crucial moment, I fear the Foundation may not have the resources needed to fight all the threats you and I face.

The First Amendment Defense Act needs your support
From Public Advocate:
Sued.
Publically harassed.
Forced out of business.
Mandated to perform homosexual “marriage” ceremonies. These are just a few of the repercussions for defending Real Marriage in America today.
Does this sound like a nation founded on Religious Liberty to you?
But there is good news.
Pro-Family champion, Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) recently introduced the “First Amendment Defense Act” (H.R. 2802) to strengthen Religious Liberty.
Labrador’s bill prohibits the federal government from denying tax exemptions or other government benefits to individuals and institutions that defend Real Marriage.
And I will need the support of every Public Advocate supporter to pass this bill.
Obama’s Solicitor General, Donald Verrilli Jr., admitted Christian schools, churches and adoption agencies could lose their tax-exempt status if they refuse to support homosexual “marriage” as a result of the Supreme Court overturning Real Marriage.
But Rep. Labrador’s “First Amendment Defense Act” would prevent this. And it’s gaining support at a critical time.
Can I count on you to sign your “First Amendment Defense Act” right away?
Public Advocate is leading the fight to move this bill through Congress by mobilizing and recruiting pro-Family Americans like you.
I’m excited to report Labrador’s bill has over 120 co-sponsors in the house from where I delivered stacks of Religious Liberty Directives from pro-Family Americans to their offices.
But despite Public Advocate’s successful lobby efforts …
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) are hoping you and I will quietly give up on this bill.
Sadly, Democrats -- and even many Republicans -- bend to the will of the radical Homosexual Lobby in Congress.
That’s because the radical homosexual operatives pressuring Congress are backed by Hollywood celebrities, the media and millions of your tax dollars.
I know there are more pro-Family Americans willing to defend Religious Liberty than there are radical homosexuals.
But members of Congress won’t hear our voice if Public Advocate doesn’t receive the funding to mobilize and recruit thousands of pro-Family Americans.
In fact, recent reports state Majority Leader McCarthy is refusing to even discuss the bill unless a there is a coalition of pro-Family Americans willing to defend Religious Liberty.
Will you help prove McCarthy wrong by signing your petition supporting the First Amendment Defense Act and chip in $10 or $25 right away?
As the President of Public Advocate, I’ve devoted over thirty years to battling the radical homosexuals in Washington.
We’ve won many fights before – even when Public Advocate’s back was against the wall.
But now the radical Homosexual Lobby is using momentum from the recent Supreme Court decision to storm through Washington demanding passage of their agenda.
There are already countless reports of radical homosexuals downright bullying pro-Family Americans and pastors in the last year alone… even threatening the very homes they live in.
It’s clear the Homosexual Lobby and their operatives are forcing their radical agenda on the nation at an alarming pace.
And they’re telling Congress that you actually support them.
I know that’s not true, but Congress will believe it if pro-Family Americans don’t take action immediately.
So please, click here to sign your petition and help Public Advocate be the voice of thousands of pro-Family Americans by prayerfully considering chipping in $10 or $25 right away.
For the Family,
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the United States
P.S. Pro-Family champion, Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) recently introduced the “First Amendment Defense Act” (H.R. 2802) to strengthen Religious Liberty.
Even though Labrador’s bill has 124 cosponsors, House Majority Leader McCarthy won’t schedule a vote for it unless thousands of pro-Family Americans rally to support it.
Please sign your “First Amendment Defense Act” petition right away.
And Help Public Advocate launch thousands of Internet ads, targeted mailings, and email messages by chipping in $10 or $25 immediately.
Sued.
Publically harassed.
Forced out of business.
Mandated to perform homosexual “marriage” ceremonies. These are just a few of the repercussions for defending Real Marriage in America today.
Does this sound like a nation founded on Religious Liberty to you?
But there is good news.
Pro-Family champion, Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) recently introduced the “First Amendment Defense Act” (H.R. 2802) to strengthen Religious Liberty.
Labrador’s bill prohibits the federal government from denying tax exemptions or other government benefits to individuals and institutions that defend Real Marriage.
And I will need the support of every Public Advocate supporter to pass this bill.
Obama’s Solicitor General, Donald Verrilli Jr., admitted Christian schools, churches and adoption agencies could lose their tax-exempt status if they refuse to support homosexual “marriage” as a result of the Supreme Court overturning Real Marriage.
But Rep. Labrador’s “First Amendment Defense Act” would prevent this. And it’s gaining support at a critical time.
Can I count on you to sign your “First Amendment Defense Act” right away?
Public Advocate is leading the fight to move this bill through Congress by mobilizing and recruiting pro-Family Americans like you.
I’m excited to report Labrador’s bill has over 120 co-sponsors in the house from where I delivered stacks of Religious Liberty Directives from pro-Family Americans to their offices.
But despite Public Advocate’s successful lobby efforts …
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) are hoping you and I will quietly give up on this bill.
Sadly, Democrats -- and even many Republicans -- bend to the will of the radical Homosexual Lobby in Congress.
That’s because the radical homosexual operatives pressuring Congress are backed by Hollywood celebrities, the media and millions of your tax dollars.
I know there are more pro-Family Americans willing to defend Religious Liberty than there are radical homosexuals.
But members of Congress won’t hear our voice if Public Advocate doesn’t receive the funding to mobilize and recruit thousands of pro-Family Americans.
In fact, recent reports state Majority Leader McCarthy is refusing to even discuss the bill unless a there is a coalition of pro-Family Americans willing to defend Religious Liberty.

Stop the insanity,tell Congress not to sanction Iran getting nukes
From John Bolton PAC:
This deal with Iran is a historic mistake!
Iran is on its way to nuclear weapons and – as a bonus – they'll do it free of economic sanctions.
Patriotic Americans everywhere need to oppose this rotten deal that Iranians preemptively celebrated by chanting "Death to America, death to Israel" in the streets of Tehran.
If you agree with me, and strongly oppose this terrible deal with Iran, I want you to express your outrage.
After you've signed, please consider making a contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more so that I can get this petition into the hands of patriotic Americans everywhere who refuse to surrender to the demands of the ayatollahs.
I'm blitzing television, the Internet, radio, and newspapers, saying everything I can to stop this from moving forward – but I need more help.
If you think this is an outrageous surrender by the United States – I need you to sign my petition opposing this deal right away.
The United States has legitimized Iran as a state-sponsor of terrorism. With this deal in place, Iran will use its nuclear ambitions to blackmail its neighbors in the region and attack Israel – either directly or through terrorist groups they bankroll like Hamas and Hezbollah.
Iran is a radical fundamentalist government that hates America, hates Israel, and defends our worst enemies. We can't trust them. This deal was a mistake from the minute we sat down at the negotiating table.
I won't stand for it, and I hope you won't either. Click here now to sign my petition and express your outrage.
We have to be stronger than our leaders. We need to stand firm on rejecting this deal.
For America,
John Bolton
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations

The Senate is trying to sneak through the National Internet Tax Mandate
From Campaign For Liberty:
Unless you and I act now, the National Internet Tax Mandate could sail through the Senate, the House, and into law before the end of the month!
Campaign for Liberty members continue to keep the National Internet Tax Mandate from even being considered by the House of Representatives, but the powerful special interests behind it have not given up their efforts to raise the price of every good you buy online.
Campaign for Liberty staff have heard that a “bipartisan” group of Senators—led by Big Government Republican Mike Enzi and Big Government Democrat Dick Durbin—are trying to attach the National Internet Tax Mandate to the “must-pass” Highway Appropriations bill.
Their hope is that if they can attach the Internet sales tax to the Highway bill the House leadership will ram the Internet sales tax into law rather than risk even a temporary shutdown of federally-funded highway programs.
It seems like a full-proof plan, but there is one thing the statists are not counting on…
The same thing that has blocked every other scheme to sneak the National Internet Tax Mandate into law...
Campaign for Liberty members like you!
If we let the Senate know the people are watching, and oppose any attempts to pass the National Internet Tax Mandate, we can stop this deal!
So please call your Senators today and tell them to vote NO all votes to attach the National Internet Tax Mandate to highway funding.
The Senate could begin consideration of the highway bill as early as tommorow, so it is vital you call your Senators NOW.
Again, Senators Mike Enzi, Dick Durbin, and the special interests behind the National Internet Tax Mandate, hope that by attaching the National Internet Sales Tax Mandate to the Highway Funding bill they will provide “cover” to pro-Internet Sales Tax and waiving politicians.
If this passes, those who voted for it will say they had no choice…
They will say they had to impose new taxes and regulations on the Internet, otherwise highway construction would have come to a standstill, and millions of Americans would have been thrown out of work (and those Senators who opposed the deal would have antagonized powerful labor unions and business lobbyists).
We have come too far in our battle to keep the Internet tax free to be defeated by a sleazy deal like this!
The only way to stop this deal is to make sure the Senate knows we are on to their scheme and we will not let them get away with it.
So please take a moment today to call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on any Highway bill that contains the National Internet Tax Mandate!
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell could move the Highway bill to the Senate floor as early as tomorrow, so please contact your Senators immediately!
If passed, the National Internet Tax Mandate will:
•Raise prices on everything you buy online;
•Provide big-spending governors with new bailout money through the federal government imposing more taxes on their citizens; Violate the principle of “No Taxation without Representation” by allowing state legislatures to raise taxes on individuals and businesses located out of state, with little, if any, recourse against politicians who hike tax rates;
•Free tax collectors in one state to pursue retailers across state line;
•Allow government bureaucrats from all fifty states to examine every Internet purchase you make in order to ensure you are complying with the National Internet Tax Mandate;
•And make it easier for the Federal Government to sic the IRS on the Internet!
The National Internet Tax Mandate’s incentive to raise sales taxes will lead to an explosion of already out-of-control state budgets.
Even worse, the massive cost of complying with the National Internet Tax Mandate could drive many smaller Internet companies out of business... and discourage the creation of the next Amazon.com.
So please call your senators and tell them to oppose any legislation containing the National Internet Tax Mandate... including the Highway Appropriations bill.
But most importantly, please contact your senators IMMEDIATELY.
In Liberty,
John Tate
President
P.S. Senators Mike Enzi and Dick Durbin are leading a “bipartisan” group of Senators in trying to sneak the National Internet Tax Mandate onto a “must-pass” Highway Appropriations bill.
This sleazy deal is designed to provide cover for pro-Internet sales tax politicians who can claim that they “had” to vote for National Internet Tax Mandate or else shut down highway construction.
Please call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on all votes on legislation adding the National Internet Sales Tax Mandate to the highway funding bill.
And if you can please chip in $50, $25, or even $10 to help Campaign for Liberty efforts to stop the National Internet Tax Mandate.

Defund Planned Parenthood
From Rand2016:
Bulk discounts for baby body parts?
The more I learn about Planned Parenthood's racket, aborting unborn children and then selling off their organs, the more my head spins.
This cannot be tolerated. It's up to you and me to ensure my colleagues in Congress take action -- NOW. No one else will do it for us.
So won't you please sign your "Stand for Life: Defund Planned Parenthood" Petition immediately?
Yesterday it was revealed that one of the vendors that sells body parts for Planned Parenthood once offered "bulk discounts" for aborted baby body parts.
In their advertisements, they even bragged their body parts were "fresh."
"Fresh" baby body parts. This callous disrespect for human life sickens me.
That's why it's time to DEFUND Planned Parenthood immediately!
Since Congress holds the power of the purse, this is one measure Congress can take now -- even with President Obama in the White House.
And I believe a victory here will translate into even bigger victories for pro-lifers as Members of Congress who choose to vote to keep funding Planned Parenthood will pay a severe political price in 2016, paving the way for a pro-life President to sign pro-life legislation into law.
If elected President, I will do everything I can to end abortion-on-demand in America.
That's my pledge to you.
So please sign your "Stand for Life: Defund Planned Parenthood" Petition immediately.
After you've signed your petition, I hope you'll please agree to chip in a contribution of $20.16 right away.
Your contribution will help me mobilize as many folks across the country as possible to ensure Congress takes action immediately to DEFUND Planned Parenthood!
Thank you in advance for your support.
In Liberty,

Support your liberties by defeating H.R. 707
From Campaign For Liberty:
You might think after ramming the USA “FREEDOM” Act, a phony “reform” bill reauthorizing the so-called “Patriot” Act through the House, that House Leadership would take a break from violating the Constitution and infringing on our liberty…
But then, you would be wrong!
Campaign for Liberty staff is aware of a major behind-the-scenes push by House Leadership to quietly ram through another statist scheme, the “Restoration of America’s Wire Act,” H.R. 707.
This bill received a Subcommittee hearing just one month after it was introduced with few cosponsors, so we need to take this threat very seriously.
C4L staff learned from several sources that House Leadership ordered the Subcommittee to hold the hearing and stack the witness panel in favor of the bill.
For reasons that will become apparent when you read the description of this bill below, the House Leadership does not want the spotlight shone on their effort to pass this bill.
As the saying goes, sunlight is the best disinfectant...
So if they know that pro-liberty Americans like you are watching them, they may stop their behind-the-scenes arm-twisting and deal-making.
H.R. 707 tramples on the Tenth Amendment in order to give the government new powers to spy on your Internet usage. And it does this largely for the benefit of one powerful political donor.
So please sign your petition to House Leaders John Boehner, Kevin McCarthy, and Steve Scalise, telling them to publicly oppose H.R. 707.
By passing H.R. 707, Congress would be gambling with your liberties.
H.R. 707 gives the federal government new powers to spy on and control more of the Internet in order to stop individuals from gambling online instead of going to brick and mortar casinos.
It really ought to be known as the iGaming Ban, as its real intent is to outright prohibit certain types of Internet gambling a single billionaire casino mogul is not invested in.
H.R. 707 tramples on the Tenth Amendment by usurping the states’ power to legalize Internet gambling.
Currently, three states allow Internet gambling, and numerous other states are considering it.
If the statists pass the iGaming Ban, it will not just nationalize the issue of Internet gambling, it will set a precedent for federal nullification of other state laws protecting our liberties from Congress and the federal bureaucracy.
By making it a federal crime to gamble online, H.R. 707 will also expand the surveillance state’s reach over the Internet.
Of course, H.R. 707 supporters claim you have nothing to worry about if you don’t gamble.
But how else are they going to completely enforce the prohibition on iGaming unless they spy on everyone’s Internet activities?
Consider everything we have learned in recent years about the extent of government surveillance.
How can any American who values their privacy believe politicians and bureaucrats who say they can be trusted with new powers to “police” the Internet?
And how can we trust the promises of the House Judiciary Committee that H.R. 707 will not lead to even more mass online surveillance when they just tried to fool us into thinking the USA “FREEDOM” Act reined in the NSA?
So even if you do not gamble, keep in mind, this bill threatens your liberties too.
As previously mentioned, this legislation is not just an assault on our liberties, it is an example of crony capitalism at its worst.
Supporters of this bill say they want to stop people from gambling.
But what they are actually doing is stopping one type of gambling to benefit a billionaire casino mogul who does not want to compete with online casinos.
If the supporters of H.R. 707 are so concerned about gambling, why are they so eager to help someone who made his fortune in traditional casino gambling?
House Leadership is anxious to rush this bill into law in order to make this casino mogul, and political donor, happy...
And the only thing that can make them change their minds if they hear loud and clear from you!
So again, please sign your petition to House Leaders John Boehner, Kevin McCarthy, and Steve Scalise, telling them to public oppose H.R. 707.
If the statists pass the iGaming Ban, it will send a signal to the surveillance state supporters and crony capitalists that it is open season on your liberties.
Make sure Congress knows to stop gambling with your liberties.
In Liberty,
Norm Singleton

Support H.R. 2802 the First Amendment Defense Act
From Public Advocate:
Your pressure is working.
Congress is reacting to the thousands of Religious Liberty Directives I delivered from Public Advocate supporters.
But Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and his right-hand man, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), refuse to support an important bill defending Religious Liberty.
You see, McCarthy is the one who sets the floor schedule in Congress.
And pro-Family champion, Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID), recently introduced the “First Amendment Defense Act” (H.R. 2802) which would help protect Religious Liberty.
The bill prohibits the federal government from denying tax exemptions or other government benefits to individuals and institutions that defend Real Marriage.
After delivering Public Advocate petitions to Congress, the bill already attained more than 100 co-sponsors in just a month.
And this bill is gaining rapid momentum.
That’s because thousands of pro-Family Americans are realizing they’re under siege from the radical Homosexual Lobby.
The radical Homosexual Lobby is ruthlessly attacking and silencing anyone who opposes them.
That’s why I need you to call both Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader McCarthy and urge them to support and schedule a vote on H.R. 2802, the “First Amendment Defense Act” immediately.
Speaker John Boehner: (202) 225-6205
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy: (202) 225-2915
Email John Boehner
This is our best chance to bring the bill to the floor for a roll call vote.
Thousands of pro-Family Americans are now alert to the radical agenda of the Homosexual Lobby.
And they’re outraged after witnessing the Supreme Court strike down Real Marriage.
But will Speaker Boehner and his top lieutenant, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, listen?
So please call Speaker Boehner and House Majority Leader McCarthy right away and urge them to support and schedule a vote on H.R. 2802, the “First Amendment Defense Act” immediately.
Speaker John Boehner: (202) 225-6205
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy: (202) 225-2915
Email John Boehner
And after you call them, please forward this email to a friend.
Encourage them to also sign Public Advocate’s "Protect Religious Directive" right away.
Thank you for all you do to support Public Advocate.
For the Family,
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.
P.S. It’s important you call Speaker Boehner and his right-hand man, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), right away.
Rep. McCarthy is refusing to use his power to schedule a floor vote for a bill protecting Religious Liberty in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Call them right away and urge them to support and schedule a vote on H.R. 2802, the “First Amendment Defense Act” immediately.
Speaker John Boehner: (202) 225-6205
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy: (202) 225-2915
Email John Boehner
After you call him please sign your "Protect Religious Liberty Directive" immediately and forward this email to your pro-Family friends and family.
And if you can, please help Public Advocate recruit more pro-Family Americans by chipping in $10 or $25 immediately.
For maximum effectiveness fill out the directive and call Boehner's and McCarthy's offices to put the pressure on. John Boehner's voicemail box was full so I wrote him and sent him an email instead. You are invited to do one or hopefully both. I don't like bullies and the rainbow mafia is acting like the biggest bullies on the block. It's time to say "enough".
Your pressure is working.

After delivering Public Advocate petitions to Congress, the bill already attained more than 100 co-sponsors in just a month.
And this bill is gaining rapid momentum.
That’s because thousands of pro-Family Americans are realizing they’re under siege from the radical Homosexual Lobby.
The radical Homosexual Lobby is ruthlessly attacking and silencing anyone who opposes them.
That’s why I need you to call both Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader McCarthy and urge them to support and schedule a vote on H.R. 2802, the “First Amendment Defense Act” immediately.
Speaker John Boehner: (202) 225-6205
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy: (202) 225-2915
Email John Boehner
This is our best chance to bring the bill to the floor for a roll call vote.
Thousands of pro-Family Americans are now alert to the radical agenda of the Homosexual Lobby.
And they’re outraged after witnessing the Supreme Court strike down Real Marriage.
But will Speaker Boehner and his top lieutenant, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, listen?
So please call Speaker Boehner and House Majority Leader McCarthy right away and urge them to support and schedule a vote on H.R. 2802, the “First Amendment Defense Act” immediately.
Speaker John Boehner: (202) 225-6205
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy: (202) 225-2915
Email John Boehner
And after you call them, please forward this email to a friend.
Encourage them to also sign Public Advocate’s "Protect Religious Directive" right away.
Thank you for all you do to support Public Advocate.
For the Family,
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.
P.S. It’s important you call Speaker Boehner and his right-hand man, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), right away.
Rep. McCarthy is refusing to use his power to schedule a floor vote for a bill protecting Religious Liberty in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Call them right away and urge them to support and schedule a vote on H.R. 2802, the “First Amendment Defense Act” immediately.
Speaker John Boehner: (202) 225-6205
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy: (202) 225-2915
Email John Boehner
After you call him please sign your "Protect Religious Liberty Directive" immediately and forward this email to your pro-Family friends and family.
And if you can, please help Public Advocate recruit more pro-Family Americans by chipping in $10 or $25 immediately.
For maximum effectiveness fill out the directive and call Boehner's and McCarthy's offices to put the pressure on. John Boehner's voicemail box was full so I wrote him and sent him an email instead. You are invited to do one or hopefully both. I don't like bullies and the rainbow mafia is acting like the biggest bullies on the block. It's time to say "enough".
Don't let Iran get nukes
From House Conservatives:
President Obama just agreed to a devastating deal with Iran.
The deal not only lifts harmful sanctions against Iran, but also allows continued development that could lead to a nuclear weapon.
Despite this, President Obama has declared he would veto any attempt to hinder this historically bad deal.
America cannot afford to allow such a bad deal to become law.
We can’t risk the safety of America or our ally Israel.
Sign the petition
Israel isn't the only country threatened by this deal. The world will lose because of the mullahs that run Iran. The Iranians and their cohorts are death centric while we are life centric. That is what makes Iran with a nuke is dangerous.

Stop Hillary's plan for America
From House Conservatives:
Hillary just unveiled her economic plan to “fix” America.
Guess what? It’s just the same-old failed liberal policies of Barack Obama.
Only this time she directly takes aim at innovation and entrepreneurial companies like Uber.
This comes just a day before Hillary is scheduled to come to Congress to strategize with House Democrats.
So before she arrives at Capitol Hill, let your voice be heard! Take a stand against Hillary’s job-destroying taxes & regulations and say Hill No to Hillary.

Comcast goes nuclear
From Demand Progress:
Comcast has gone nuclear. Their friends in Congress are threatening to shut down the federal government unless Net Neutrality is stopped.
They've attached a provision blocking Net Neutrality to a must-pass spending bill that funds the federal government.1
Their strategy is simple: Faced with a possible government shutdown, Net Neutrality supporters will feel enormous pressure to give in.
But next week is our first big chance to stop this attack. Congress is voting on whether to remove the anti-Net Neutrality provision from the must-pass spending bill. It won't be easy, but if we win, Comcast is dead in the water.
Using the threat of a government shut down is Comcast's most desperate attempt to stop Net Neutrality yet.
We've already generated a massive public outcry, and with your help we can keep flooding Congress with phone calls and make sure that voters know which representatives vote against the free and open Internet.
This is the very first vote in Congress since the FCC's historic rule went into effect. The stakes are huge. And we're counting on you to stand with us.
Will you chip in $5 to help fund the grassroots organizing we need to win?
Yes, I'll donate $5 to help defend Net Neutrality.
Thanks for standing with us.
Sara, Daniel, Kurt, Mark, David, and the rest of the Demand Progress team.

Direct the National Right To Work Committee to fight on
From The National Right To Work Committee:
I'll get right to the point.
Fighting the Obama Administration's power grabs for Big Labor is taxing the National Right to Work Foundation's resources like never before.
Powerful union officials and their government allies are fuming mad at the hard-fought battles opponents of forced unionism have won in recent years, and they're using every trick in the book not only to take back lost ground, but also to expand their forced-dues power.
That means you and I face some difficult decisions going forward.
First, the good news.
As a result of your ongoing support of our Right to Work programs, more and more Americans are waking up to just how dangerous Big Labor's $20 BILLION compulsory unionism empire is . . .
. . . How it corrupts our politics, strangles the economy, fleeces taxpayers, mocks our Constitution and empowers union bosses to strip precious wages from hardworking men and women.
In fact, this year, Wisconsin became the 25th Right to Work state and the third state in the last three years to end compulsory unionism for most workers.
Not only that, with your support, our Foundation won yet another precedent at the U.S. Supreme Court last June with the Harris case.
You may recall that Harris involved Illinois in-home care providers corralled into forced-dues-paying ranks by disgraced former Governor Rod Blagojevich and his successor, Pat Quinn.
Under their scheme, caregivers were reclassified as "state employees" solely for the purpose of monopoly bargaining.
You see, Big Labor wanted a cut of the subsidy these individuals receive to take care of the sick and disabled, oftentimes members of their families.
Foundation staff attorneys continue the work to enforce and expand that critical victory.
But, in the face of their recent setbacks, forced-unionism advocates aren't throwing in the towel.
On the contrary, with BILLIONS of forced-dues dollars at stake, the union bosses are redoubling efforts to reclaim lost ground and expand their forced-unionism privileges.
And they have a powerful ally in the Obama National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which just declared war on all state Right to Work laws.
In fact, the so-called "Fee for Grievance" scheme the NLRB is intent on approving is designed to gut all 25 state Right to Work laws, condemning tens of thousands of workers to forced-dues servitude .
A Foundation client and I were invited to testify at a Congressional hearing on this issue earlier this month.
That's why your Right to Work Foundation's work is so critical.
The fact is, taking on the out-of-control NLRB is just one of the fronts we're fighting.
With nearly 200 active cases right now, here's just a glimpse of what Foundation attorneys are working on:
*** Five federal lawsuits designed to build on the reasoning the U.S. Supreme Court gave in our Harris and Knox precedents with the goal of ending other government-granted Big Labor forced unionism schemes, including union bosses power to extract forced dues from public employees.
*** Scores of cases attacking Big Labor's use of forced dues to fund its political machine -- vitally important now as union operatives are already gearing up to install another puppet politician in the White House and take back the U.S. Senate.
*** Challenges to the aggressive compulsory unionism policies pushed by Obama appointees in the executive branch, including the Department of Labor and NLRB.
*** Critical cases defending and enforcing state Right to Work protections, especially in the newest Right to Work states: Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Here's the rub. Your Foundation continues to operate on a tight budget in 2015, and it's crucial we allocate our resources to cover all our bases.
Soon, I'll sit down with the five-member Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees to decide whether changes must be made in the Foundation's program budget.
But before I do, I'd like to have your guidance and help.
Can you spare just a few minutes of your time and fill out your Supporter Directive?
You see, right now choices must be made among certain priorities in our program. And I'm asking your advice before I act.
The fact is, I'd rather scale back in a few fights (even though we believe we could win!) than get stretched too thin.
Here's an in-depth view of some of the most important fights the Foundation is waging right now:
>>> Pushing forward with cutting-edge cases that directly challenge the constitutionality of forced union dues for all public employees.
In our most recent Supreme Court victories, the Justices indicated that they may be open to repealing all forced dues in the government sector, and Foundation staff attorneys are working on filing a brief in one such challenge right now.
>>> Attacking forced-dues-for-politics schemes and illegal diversion of union money into partisan politics.
After all, you and I know we can't just trust union bosses to voluntarily comply with Foundation-won precedents that protect employees from forced-dues-for-politics schemes.
>>> Defending workers from Big Labor's aggressive Top Down Forced Unionism strategy.
Utilizing new Obama NLRB rules, Big Labor is expanding its aggressive organizing tactics to push more workers into forced-unionism ranks, including quick-snap elections and "Card Check."
>>> Bolstering our outreach program. The impact of our legal victories is limited if workers aren't informed.
Our informational campaigns ensure workers harmed by Organized Labor's forced-dues schemes know they have an ally in the fight to resist union boss subjugation.
I'm sure you can see why now would be a terrible time to throttle back our efforts.
But I need input from our supporters detailing where you want the Foundation to focus our efforts.
So please submit your Confidential Supporter Directive right away.
The fact is, in the coming months, Big Labor will unleash their multi-billion dollar, forced-dues-funded political warchest to maintain their iron-fisted control of the White House, recapture the U.S. Senate and take over state legislatures and governors' mansions nationwide.
But your Foundation is hitting back hard -- fighting forced-dues-for-politics schemes in state courts and agencies, in federal courts and at the NLRB.
With the union bosses using their political clout to launch still more power grabs, it's vital that you and I not let up now.
I hope you understand what a profound threat opponents of forced unionism face.
Time after time, you have loyally stood with the Right to Work Foundation as we have fought pivotal battles.
After all you and I have achieved, it would be a devastating blow to have to pull back -- especially now when our achievements hold the promise of attracting new supporters to our cause.
In fact, national leaders including Steve Forbes and U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-ID) are helping in a nationwide campaign to build new support for Right to Work. But identifying and recruiting new supporters takes resources, too.
So, along with your completed Supporter Directive, I hope I can count on your most generous tax-deductible contribution right away.
You see, with the spate of Right to Work victories, union officials are pressing harder and in more sophisticated ways to expand their forced-dues empire.
That's why it's vital the Right to Work Foundation keep up the fight on all fronts.
And why your completed Supporter Directive is so important.
At this moment, Foundation attorneys are representing tens of thousands of employees in nearly 200 active legal aid cases.
Each case is unique, and vital precedents are at stake. It is difficult to consider abandoning any of them.
But fighting all the battles I've described will cost an estimated $4,960,000 through the end of the year.
And, if the Foundation is not in a strong position, there's no doubt Big Labor will be all the more eager to launch new attacks on America's workers or on the Foundation itself.
The fact is, for many years, the National Right to Work Foundation has stood in the breach. And you've stood with us.
Now, I'm writing to you and all of the Foundation's best supporters because, according to my calculations, if you and our other most generous supporters gave a tax-deductible gift of $20 to the Foundation today, it would be enough to fully fund the rest of our 2015 program.
I realize that $20 is a lot to ask, but too much is at stake not to ask.
Unfortunately, I know a few people won't or can't give at all right now, and I understand that.
They will count on others to carry their load. Some folks may set this letter aside (despite the urgency) and forget to send a contribution.
That's why, if you can, please consider sending a $30 contribution today to fund our vital programs.
It could be that's more than you've given in a single gift before, but I hope you will seriously consider this request.
More than anything, your investment is a testament to just how critical the Foundation's ongoing projects are.
If I can count on generous donors like you to give such a contribution now, I could put aside any thoughts of scaling back our program and focus on challenging Big Labor's forced-dues assaults.
You see, with your investment, the Foundation can maintain and hopefully even increase its aggressive attack on Big Labor's compulsory unionism schemes.
If, for some reason, you just can't send $30 today, please give at least $20 or whatever you can afford right away.
Whether you send $30 or $20 -- or if a lesser amount is the most you can do -- please fill out and return your Confidential Supporter Directive giving me your advice, and be as generous as you are able.
Please, help today. Your support will make a real difference.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
P.S. Your National Right to Work Foundation stands in the breach, protecting the right of all Americans to be free from union boss tyranny.
