Susan Rice spying scandal misses the point
From Campaign For Liberty:
When it comes to the Susan Rice spying scandal and unmasking the names of Trump staffers “incidentally” picked up in foreign surveillance, the pundits are missing the forest for the trees.
The moment Susan Rice chose to unmask the names of Americans, and likely leak the details of their conversation throughout the Obama administration, it’s clear she had sinister intent.
Some argue what she did wasn't illegal under the dramatically expanded powers Congress unconstitutionally handed intelligence agencies in the name of "fighting terrorism."
But that's exactly the problem!
The real point of this whole ordeal is whether or not the government should have the power to get this information at all.
There’s no denying anymore that the Deep State is being politically weaponized.
And it’s only a matter of time until all of us feel the crunch.
For years, Campaign for Liberty has fought back against the surveillance powers being accumulated under the executive branch.
We warned Congress and the American people that left to their own devices, the Deep State and the administration that oversees it would abuse its authority.
Power corrupts. And the tools the Congress has empowered America’s spy agencies with are simply too powerful to be allowed to continue.
Susan Rice spying on the incoming administration to gain valuable political intelligence ought to be a criminal offense.
That it may not be one at the moment should concern every American. . .
You see if the government is allowed to continue “incidentally” collecting conversations between Americans and foreign citizens, eventually it won’t just be political staffers’ conversations they’re monitoring.
It’ll be yours and mine!
While Section 702 explicitly prohibits intentional targeting of American citizens, the Susan Rice spying scandal shows exactly how the program can be used to catch them “incidentally.”
The NSA regularly intercepts information of innocent Americans without any probable cause or warrant.
In fact, several other instances of abuse exist outside of the Susan Rice spying scandal like,
>>> Employees monitoring communications of their ex-boyfriends and girlfriends -- it occurred so often it was assigned the name, “LOVEINT”;
>>> In one instance, a “programming error” confused the US area code 202 (Washington, D.C.) for the Egyptian country code “20” intercepting a “large number” of calls placed from Washington;
>>> In 2011, the FISA Court (intended to “oversee” the surveillance) ruled that NSA collection of Internet communications violated the 4th Amendment because, even with their “minimization procedures,” the agency was still collecting 56,000 American emails a year.
Section 702 is precisely the type of surveillance used against the colonists that led our Founding Fathers to fight a revolution over!
That’s why this summer, when Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act comes up for reauthorization, you and I must be ready to mobilize on this opportunity.
I’m preparing an all-out assault on the surveillance state, but I need to know you’re with me.
That’s why I’ve prepared a brief Statement of Support for you to sign.
It lets Dr. Paul and I know that you’ll stand with Campaign for Liberty and the members of Congress who lead the fight against renewing Section 702 this summer.
Our efforts in 2015 led to a temporary expiration of the controversial Patriot Act provisions, preventing Congress from further watering down the so-called “USA FREEDOM Act.”
Americans must demand that Congress stop the mass surveillance of innocent Americans’ communications and conduct a full Congressional investigation into the Susan Rice spying scandal.
I’ll be sure to follow-up with more information detailing our plans and how you can help to fight back against illegal spying.
But for now, I hope you’ll sign your Statement of Support and chip in $10 or even $20 to let us know you’re ready for a fight!
In Liberty,
Norm Singleton
President
P.S. The warrantless surveillance of Americans like that of the Trump staffers by political cronies like Susan Rice must be stopped!

Protect Net Neutrality
From Fight For The Future:
BREAKING: The Washington Post is reporting that the Trump transition team is preparing to “dismantle Net Neutrality.” Will you chip in to help save Net Neutrality?
No matter what you think about the election, one thing is clear: Net Neutrality is in the cross hairs.
Donald Trump has called Net Neutrality an "attack on the internet" and a "top down power grab," even though neither of those things is true.[1] Many members of Congress are already making plans to gut the rules we worked so hard to win.
And now Trump has has put Jeffrey Eisenach, an anti-Net Neutrality crusader funded by Verizon, AT&T, and Clear Channel, in charge of the FCC transition.
That's why The Washington Post is reporting that Trump is on the verge of "all but erasing” Net Neutrality.[2]
But this isn't the first time telecommunications lobbyists thought Net Neutrality was dead--and every time the public backlash has been enormous. Now we need to fight again.
Will you chip in to help save Net Neutrality?
The FCC's Net Neutrality rule is the only thing stopping Comcast, AT&T, and Time Warner from blocking, throttling, and censoring the Internet either for political reasons or for profit.
Trump will definitely have the power to go after Net Neutrality if he wants to. He'll soon pick a new FCC chairman and shortly after will get to replace the swing vote on Net Neutrality at the FCC.
That's why one top industry analyst this week said that under Trump, "Net neutrality has a big target on its back."[3] And Breitbart News, the alt-right news website run by Trump strategic advisor Steve Bannon said last week that "Net Neutrality is dead."[4]
But we heard the same predictions of doom for Net Neutrality when George W. Bush and Barack Obama were in office too. Every time, we used the collective power of the internet to defend freedom of expression and openness online. And we still haven’t been beaten.
When Barack Obama proposed bad policies on Net Neutrality, we stood up to him, and won. Now we'll do the same with with the new president. And all the evidence so far says that under President Trump, Net Neutrality is in deep, deep trouble.
But we've fought too long and too hard to win Net Neutrality to let it all get erased now. Will you chip in to help save it?
Yes, I'll chip in to help save Net Neutrality.

CONGRESS JUST VOTED TO STRIP ALL POWER FROM OBAMA FOR THE REST OF HIS PRESIDENCY!
It will take a lot of work to clean up the mess created by Obama. The House of Representatives just gave President-elect Trump a head start.With fewer than 10 weeks left as President, President Barack Obama’s time in the White House is about to be finished.
It couldn’t happen soon enough!
Now, Obama’s team is rushing to pass countless last-minute regulations to implement even more of Obama’s radical agenda. Presidents are infamous for controversial, last-minute decisions.
Now, the Republican-lead U.S. House of Representatives just took a major stand against Obama. They voted 240-to-179 to allow Congress to stop and un-do any last minute rules and regulations approved by Obama.
As the bill’s sponsor Rep. Darrell Issa explained, this bill stops Obama’s last-minute, shameful regulations forever:
“This bipartisan bill is about reviving the separation of powers to ensure our laws are written by the Representatives we actually vote for – not unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats who are on their way out the door. Presidents of both parties have made habit of enacting scores of last-minute regulations, with little oversight, to sneak in as much of their agenda as possible before the clock runs out on their time in office. The bill helps ensure this President, and any future president, will be held in check and that their policies have the proper level of scrutiny by both Congress and the American people. I’m pleased to see the House pass this important measure and look forward to its quick passage by our colleagues in the Senate.”
This is a massive victory for conservatives, trying to make the transition to a Trump administration easier to enact pro-growth, pro-job creation policies:
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce sent a letter Wednesday to congressmen alerted them to the cost of regulations put on the books by administrations on their way out the door:
A recent report issued by the Regulatory Studies Center at the George Washington University entitled The Final Countdown; Projecting Midnight Regulations found that executive branch agencies typically issue a significantly greater number of rules during the final months of an administration in a rushed effort to implement remaining policy objectives. Midnight regulations issued by prior administrations have proven highly problematic and required subsequent correction. The ability of Congress to disapprove these rules under the CRA is limited by tight deadlines for action that make separate debate and votes on a rule-by-rule basis impractical.
FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon says he’s pleased with the House vote and he committed his Washington-based logistics and policy hub for Tea Party and conservative activists to working with Capitol Hill conservatives to return law-making authority to Congress.

Don't let Obama expand the death tax
From Freedom Works:
While the country prepares for a night filled with fright, Obama and his cronies are proposing a regulation scary enough to reawaken the dead. If enacted, this new IRS regulation to strengthen the already oppressive death tax, forcing your children and grandchildren to pay more taxes to receive the inheritance you’ve worked so hard to give them.
Please don’t let that happen. Contact the Obama Administration right now. Tell them to stop this terrible regulation. Tell them to stop Obama’s death tax expansion today.
We’ve only got until Wednesday, November 2nd to stop this terrible regulation. And if you stay silent now, it will happen, forcing grieving families to pay more taxes to inherit their family’s farm or small business. So please, take 30 seconds and contact the Obama Administration right now. Tell them to stop Obama’s death tax expansion today.
For Freedom,
Adam Brandon
President, FreedomWorks Foundation

Before he leaves office Obama wants to take away your guns
From Campaign For Liberty:
Even with all of the Orwellian madness you and I are seeing today, the statists know achieving the authoritarian utopia they crave depends on finally wiping out the last roadblock standing in their way...
That's the American people's right to keep and bear arms.
Now, with President Obama's time in the White House winding down, I'm afraid the threat of a federal "NO GUN LIST" is growing bigger by the day.
Should President Obama get his way, law-abiding American patriots could find themselves stripped of their Second Amendment rights -- with ZERO recourse.
And just like you and I have seen with government debt, ObamaCare funding, and defending the out-of-control Federal Reserve, I'm afraid BOTH parties will be on the deal!
That's why I'm counting on you to please sign your NO GUN CONTROL petitions IMMEDIATELY.
As you'll see, these petitions draw a line in the sand, insisting that your U.S. Representative and Senators vote "NO!" on any gun control scheme that reaches the floor of Congress.
The truth is, even before last December's shootings in San Bernardino, California (which government spying failed to prevent -- yet again!), President Obama was already claiming gun control would be the "central issue" of his remaining year in office.
Shortly after -- seemingly out of nowhere -- BOTH parties began rallying for a so-called "NO GUN LIST."
Under this gun control scheme, any law-abiding American citizen the federal government places on the federal "No-Fly List" could suddenly lose their Second Amendment rights with no due process as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment!
Since this list is secret, it would leave citizens with effectively zero legal recourse if targeted by a rogue Attorney General.
Worse, I'm afraid it's no accident.
I'm afraid -- during this critical election year -- members of BOTH parties are anxious to tell the anti-gun national media they "did something" about gun violence and terrorism all at the same time.
Even as you and I see the Middle East burning under ISIS, BOTH parties will never admit the horrific failure of their failed policies.
Instead, their answer is to come after even more of our freedom once again!
Frankly, I'm sick of watching Washington, D.C., blame the liberty of law-abiding Americans for their own Big Government failures.
And it makes my stomach churn to imagine what could happen if our federal government were ever to gain the illicit power of a federal "No-Gun" list.
Any American an administration identifies as a "problem citizen" could easily become a secret target.
That could be just because the government doesn't like the political candidates you support, the church you attend, or the limited government beliefs you hold.
Remember that Missouri Information and Analysis Center (MIAC) document -- an affiliate of the Department of Homeland Security -- that warned about citizens who displayed the Gadsden flag or supported my candidacy for President?
Well, just last year, our federal government issued a warning that stated that these citizens pose a threat "equal to -- and in some cases greater than -- the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that garner more public attention."
Already, the federal "No-Fly List" is infamous for mistakenly including the names of Members of Congress, conservative editorialists, folk musicians, Department of Homeland Security employees and even toddlers.
That's bad enough.
But you and I both know that should our federal government gain this power, the "NO GUN LIST" would be used to target anyone who dares stand up to the statists' authoritarian dreams for the country!
With support of key members of BOTH parties, President Obama could just get the votes he needs to RAM this gun control scheme into law!
That's why Campaign for Liberty staff is preparing an all-out mobilization campaign to FIGHT BACK.
Sadly, I'm afraid Campaign for Liberty is one of the ONLY organizations that will tell the American people the truth about what the "NO GUN LIST" could mean for the future of liberty in America.
As we've seen with the so-called "PATRIOT Act," Internet regulation, and other statist schemes, few Members of Congress balk at handing our federal government more power over our lives if "terrorism" is the excuse.
But as far as I'm concerned, the Second Amendment -- and every other God-given freedom protected by the Bill of Rights -- is non-negotiable for any reason!
If you agree, please sign your NO GUN CONTROL petitions to Campaign for Liberty right away.
And if you possibly can, please agree to your most generous contribution of $15 right away to help Campaign for Liberty prepare for the anti-gun onslaught I'm afraid is set to hit Congress.
Your generous contribution will enable Campaign for Liberty to launch an all-out mobilization program, including:
*** Contacting up to eight million Americans using mail and email to generate NO GUN CONTROL petitions.
*** Using social media and highly-trafficked blogs to turn up the heat on key swing votes in Congress;
*** Working talk-radio and cable TV news shows to explain why we can't allow government to start gutting our most basic freedoms without due process;
*** Running hard-hitting Internet, radio and even TV ads (if I can raise the resources), calling on U.S. Representatives and Senators by name to vote "NO" on gun control.
But Campaign for Liberty can't put any of this into action without your support -- especially with ongoing battles on Audit the Fed and battling BOTH parties' outrageous Big Government agenda.
That's why I'm counting on you to agree to your most generous contribution of $15 right away.
I know that's far more than you've done in the past.
But I'm asking all Campaign for Liberty supporters to stretch to help us put this plan into action.
Of course, if $15 is too much, please agree to $10 or at least $5.
If we are to remain in any sense "free," we cannot just stand by while our Second Amendment is destroyed right before our eyes.
So please sign your NO GUN CONTROL petitions, and agree to your most generous contribution of $15, $10 or at least $5 IMMEDIATELY!
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman

Obama wants to ram TPP through Congress while you're not looking
From Fight For The Future:
I’m calling it. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is the most corrupt trade deal in history.
Do you agree? Join me in calling out the TPP.
Politicians have gotten away with serving special interests in this massive trade deal for too long. But if we expose TPP for what it is, we can stop these kinds of deals and never let another corrupt trade deal like this happen again.
The TPP is so corrupt it’s a stretch to even call it a trade deal.
Only 5 of its 29 chapters deal with trade issues, things like tariffs and quotas. The rest is about delivering on the wish lists of multinational corporations.
Pharmaceutical monopolies would be protected.[1] Environmental protections would be slashed.[2] SOPA-like censorship would threaten free expression on the Internet.[3] Good-paying jobs would be sent overseas.[4]
And then there’s the international shadow court that would be set up to force TPP countries to pay multinational corporations when they pass laws or regulations that may limit corporate profits.[5]
This wouldn’t only screw over taxpayers, it would also hurt small and medium-sized companies by making it harder for them to compete with the multinationals that would get this special benefit.
We need to expose the corruption in the TPP or it will soon become law.
Just last week President Obama notified Congress that he would be sending them the final version of the TPP shortly.[6] And all reports indicate that he plans to do everything in his power to make sure it passes by then end of the year.
The White House and the lobbyists behind the TPP are desperate to get this finished before the public fully understands how dangerous and corrupt it is.
With everyone’s attention on the elections, they are working behind the scenes to set this up for quick passage. That’s why it’s so important that we get loud and call out the TPP for corruption now.
The TPP is the biggest trade deal ever. Its special-interest giveaways run more than 5,000 pages, and it would affect over 40% of the global economy. We need to sound the alarm right now before it’s too late…

I’m calling it. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is the most corrupt trade deal in history.
Do you agree? Join me in calling out the TPP.
Politicians have gotten away with serving special interests in this massive trade deal for too long. But if we expose TPP for what it is, we can stop these kinds of deals and never let another corrupt trade deal like this happen again.
The TPP is so corrupt it’s a stretch to even call it a trade deal.
Only 5 of its 29 chapters deal with trade issues, things like tariffs and quotas. The rest is about delivering on the wish lists of multinational corporations.
Pharmaceutical monopolies would be protected.[1] Environmental protections would be slashed.[2] SOPA-like censorship would threaten free expression on the Internet.[3] Good-paying jobs would be sent overseas.[4]
And then there’s the international shadow court that would be set up to force TPP countries to pay multinational corporations when they pass laws or regulations that may limit corporate profits.[5]
This wouldn’t only screw over taxpayers, it would also hurt small and medium-sized companies by making it harder for them to compete with the multinationals that would get this special benefit.
We need to expose the corruption in the TPP or it will soon become law.

Tell Obamq to stand with the people not trial lawyers.
From Freedom Works:
There’s only a week left to stop Obama’s massive liberal trial lawyer payday. If enacted, this regulation takes money away from actual victims and gives it to liberal trial lawyers. And if that’s not bad enough, you’ll have to pay for it. Because of this regulation your credit card interest rates, ATM fees, student loans, home mortgages, and bank loans will all drastically increase.Don’t let that happen. Contact the Obama Administration right now. Tell them to stand up for you not the trial lawyers.
Please use these notes to inform your comments:
- This proposed regulation isn’t about protecting consumers, it’s designed to make it easier for trial lawyers to gather big class action groups allowing them to collect bigger fees.
- The government’s own study found that individual arbitration awards average several thousand dollars, while the average class action settlement payment is $32.35. Meaning that consumers and victims are better off in arbitration.
- This rule will make all covered financial products more expensive: higher fees for bank products, higher interest rates on credits cards. And this rule only benefits trial lawyers.
So far, we’ve been able to drive more then 10,000 comments to stop it. But I fear it won’t be enough. If we’re going to stop this terrible regulation we need to double that amount. So please, take 30 seconds and contact the Obama Administration right now. Tell them to stop Obama’s liberal trial lawyer payday.

Support Rock Against The TPP
From Fight For The Future:
I’m really worried. Our Rock Against the TPP tour has been generating widespread public outcry, but President Obama just said that he’s still planning to try to ram the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) through Congress after the election.
We’re plotting with some major celebrities for a final showdown, a huge educational concert / protest in Washington, DC that will generate massive media attention and help make the TPP too politically toxic to pass. Right now we’re less than $20,000 short of the budget we need to make this happen. If everyone reading this chips in, we’ll have the funds we need, and can start reserving a venue and making this huge.
Can you help us make history and stop the TPP?
Pro-TPP corporations and politicians are kicking their lobbying efforts into high gear. Big cable companies, Hollywood, the pharmaceutical industry, and Wall Street banks are all pushing to get this toxic deal approved.
We need to expand our campaign right now or the TPP could become law in a matter of months. Will you chip in $5 toward the biggest mobilization yet to stop it?
The TPP would pave the way for Internet censorship, give multinational corporations and unaccountable government officials more control of our lives, and devastate our economy.
The extreme secrecy around the TPP makes it so that way too many people still have no idea what it is. Our Rock Against the TPP celebrity roadshow has been helping sound the alarm, educating thousands of people and dragging this anti-democratic backroom deal out into the sunlight.
But given the President’s latest remarks, I’m terrified that unless we step up our efforts, we’re going to lose and they’re going to sneak the TPP through before the end of this year.
We can’t let that happen. Will you chip in $5 to fight the TPP?
We still have a very real chance of stopping this. But only if we all come together right now.
Thanks for all that you’re doing,
-Evan at Fight for the Future
P.S. Check out this awesome video from our Rock Against the TPP kick-off, featuring interviews with Tom Morello and Evangeline Lilly! And don’t forget to chip in $5 to help us stop the TPP.

Major IRS scandal
From Judicial Watch:
New Revelations in Obama IRS Scandal
This week we revealed to the public more about the IRS’ historic abuse of power. We released 294 pages of FBI documents showing that top IRS officials in Washington, including Lois Lerner and Holly Paz, knew that the agency was specifically targeting “Tea Party” and other conservative organizations two full years before disclosing it to Congress and the public.
Lerner was director of the IRS Exempt Organizations Unit and Paz was the IRS Acting Director of Rulings and Agreements.
These so-called “302” documents – detailed narratives of FBI investigative interviews – fully confirm a report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) in 2013 that said, “Senior IRS officials knew that agents were targeting conservative groups for special scrutiny as early as 2011.” Unsurprisingly, the Obama Justice Department and FBI “investigation” into the Obama IRS scandal resulted in no criminal charges.
Lerner did not reveal the targeting until May 2013 in response to a planted question at an American Bar Association conference. The new documents show that then-acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller actually wrote Lerner’s response that falsely blamed the scandal on IRS low-level employees in Cincinnati: “They used names like Tea Party or Patriots and they selected cases simply because the applications had those names in the title. That was wrong, that was absolutely incorrect, insensitive, and inappropriate.”
The FBI documents also reveal that IRS officials stated that the agency was targeting conservative groups in the summer of 2011 because of their ideology and political affiliation. According to one senior tax law specialist, “The case seemed to be pulled because of the applicant’s political affiliation and screening is not supposed to occur that way … [Redacted] said he thought the cases were being pulled based upon political affiliations.” And IRS senior official Nancy Marks, appointed by Miller to conduct an internal investigation stated, “Cincinnati was categorizing cases based on name and ideology, not just activity.”
We obtained these documents through a federal court order in our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v Department of Justice (No. 1:14-cv-01239)).
According to the FBI documents, Paz and others were informed in the late spring and summer of 2011 that Cincinnati agents were using “BOLO” (Be On the Look Out) briefing guides that instructed them to be “looking at cases using the Tea Party term.” The IRS failed to reveal such targeting until the ABA conference in May 2013:
•The FBI reports that in its interview with an unidentified IRS Senior Tax Law Specialist:
She read how the case was screened and it was not because of the organization’s activity. The case seemed to be pulled because of the applicant’s political affiliation and screening is not supposed to occur that way. She wanted to alert the managers about the way the cases were being pulled … [Redacted] said he thought the cases were being pulled based upon political affiliations. [Redacted] then went to tell [Redacted] said he would follow up on the issue and would let HOLLY PAZ know this was possibly occurring. This occurred in the mid to late March or April 2011 timeframe.
The cases were labeled as Tea Party cases. The screening sheets said the two cases were pulled because of the names and political affiliations.
•The FBI reports that in its interview with an unidentified IRS Technical Advisor who reported directly to Lerner:
[Redacted] attended a meeting in the summer of 2011. She was not invited, but she was talking to LERNER about something else in the office when LERNER mentioned that it would be interesting for her to attend … Only people from Washington, D.C. were in the room, to include HOLLY PAZ … At the meeting, it was disclosed that one of the ways Cincinnati was looking for cases was using the “Tea Party” term. They were calling the body of cases involving political activity “Tea Party” cases. The concern was that the IRS had put a label on the cases that would be problematic.
•The FBI reports that in its interview with an unidentified IRS Acting Manager of Exempt Organizations Technical(EOT):
In his meeting concerning the briefing in mid-June [2011] [Redacted] met with EOT and EOG [Exempt Organizations Group] staffs and PAZ…. They showed PAZ the briefing paper and the use of the Tea Party term. PAZ was the highest-ranking person at the meeting. Somebody said they may not want to use Tea Party as a labeling term. [Redacted] had recognized they may not want to use the term Tea Party when they were doing the briefing paper, but his plan was to raise the issue with PAZ at the briefing. He does not recall PAZ’s reaction.
According to a ten-page section of the documents containing FBI interviews with IRS Senior Technical Advisor Nancy Marks, in the spring of 2012, Miller asked Marks to “look into how these 501 (c)(4) cases were being handled and find out what the problems were.” After investigations in Washington and Cincinnati, Marks reported the following to Miller in May 2012, according to the FBI:
It was not until much later that MARKS saw information that [Redacted] was only looking for Tea Party cases…. The BOLO showed that at various points the criteria called for “Tea Party” name, and then later the ideology…. She told him [Miller, on May 3, 2012] that Cincinnati was categorizing cases based on name and ideology, not just activity. When MARKS told MILLER this, he threw his pencil across the room and said, “Oh shit.”
The FBI documents also reveal that the FBI investigated why Holly Paz sat in on numerous Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) interviews with lower level IRS employees and if her presence improperly influenced the employees’ responses to investigators’ questions. The documents repeatedly state, “Other than the auditors, the only person present during the [Redacted] interview was HOLLY PAZ.”
The documents contain two separate lengthy FBI interviews with Lois Lerner, the first in June 2013 and the second in October 2013. Both interviews came after Lerner invoked her Fifth Amendment constitutional right against self-incrimination before the House Oversight Committee in May 2013. By answering questions under oath in her FBI interviews, Lerner seemed to undermine her earlier Fifth Amendment-based refusal to testify to Congress, since witnesses generally cannot invoke the right in one instance and not another. The House voted to hold Lerner in contempt of Congress for her refusal to testify.
And the FBI 302 documents also contain an interview in which Miller reveals that former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman very likely misled Congress in his March 22, 2012, testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee when he said, “There is absolutely no targeting.” According to the FBI report on the Miller interview, “In February or March, MILLER talked to SHULMAN about the development letters.” The “development letters” were letters sent by the IRS primarily to targeted conservative groups seeking what the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) later termed “inappropriate” information about websites and donors.
These documents show that the Obama FBI and Justice Department had plenty of evidence suggesting illegal targeting, perjury, and obstruction of justice. Both the FBI and Justice Department collaborated with the Lois Lerner and the IRS to try to prosecute and jail Barack Obama’s political opponents. These documents show the resulting compromised investigation looked the other way when it came to Obama’s IRS criminality.
Stay tuned, as we will receive more IRS scandal documents next week.

Don't let Obama bail out the insurance companies
From Freedom Works:
Obama’s ignoring the law. He’s ignoring a federal judge. He’s taking billions of your tax dollars to bail out his cronies in the insurance industry anyway. And now he’s hoping his lawyers find a loophole so he can keep spending your money!
We saw the legal hoops Obama jumped through to force ObamaCare on you. The courts betrayed us before, and you know they’ll betray us again. That’s why you must act and force Congress to end Obama’s bailouts permanently. Contact these Republican Senators and tell them it’s time to end the ObamaCare bailouts.
The only way we can stop Obama is by forcing Congress to pass Senator Marco Rubio’s bill: S 123. Send these Republican Senators a message. Tell them to support S 123. Tell them it’s time to end the ObamaCare bailouts.

Obama administration declares war on its enemies
From Campaign For Liberty:
With the months ticking away in President Obama's final term in the Oval Office, the battle cry emerging from the White House right now is "DESTROY YOUR ENEMIES!"
Using every means at their disposal, the Obama administration is preparing to unleash a torrent of Big Government schemes.
Whether it's Campaign for Liberty's ongoing fight with the IRS, the fight over the U.S. Supreme Court -- or the rapidly approaching November elections -- the stakes couldn't be higher for our liberty movement.
But after a mid-year review of Campaign for Liberty's financial situation, I'm afraid I'm facing an enormous problem.
We can't put up much of a fight for the remainder of 2016.
Not without a serious and IMMEDIATE influx of funds. And even then, I am afraid serious choices must be made. But this is OUR Campaign for Liberty, not only mine.
That's why I've written a special Mid-Year Member Ballot for your review.
As Campaign for Liberty President Norm Singleton and I sketch out our final plans for the rest of 2016, I need you to please tell us where to focus.
But I have only until July 1st to make a final decision. So please act right away!
With so much on our plates it's a decision I don't want to make without hearing from you.
So please give me your opinion. It will only take a moment of your time.
And if you have already signed your ballot, please forward this to a family member or friend right now.
One of my very top concerns right now is the Supreme Court vacancy left with the passing of Justice Antonin Scalia.
While Justice Scalia sometimes failed the liberty movement on issues like privacy, he was an ally on many other core constitutional issues.
Not only that, but he stood as a bulwark against those who would use federal courts to reshape American society.
Now, with his passing, the statists can hardly contain their glee.
Should President Obama succeed in confirming his nominee, Merrick Garland, there could be no saving our remaining constitutional liberties:
*** The Fourth Amendment will be further eroded as government agents stick their nose into more aspects of your "private" life;
*** The Second Amendment could be "interpreted" out of existence;
*** First Amendment protections -- like those that ensure Campaign for Liberty can boldly speak out against BOTH parties' radical Big Government schemes -- could be all but DESTROYED;
*** New EPA regulations, handing government vast new tax and regulatory controls over individual citizens' private property, would be rubber-stamped.
In fact, the left-wing website Daily Kos brags, "We'd affect the fundamental direction of the Court not for a year or two but possibly for a generation."
So if you think STOPPING confirmation of any Justice who would tip the scales in the statists' favor should be Campaign for Liberty's top priority, please mark "OPTION #1: STOP PRESIDENT OBAMA'S SUPREME COURT TAKEOVER!" on your Mid-Year Member Ballot.
The second fight we are prioritizing this year is our ongoing fight with the IRS.
For more than two years now, I've fought the IRS's demands for the names, addresses, and other confidential personal information on select Campaign for Liberty contributors.
With the help of good folks like you, I've stood up to their attempts to cripple Campaign for Liberty with everything from legal threats to $10,000-a-day fines.
I did so for an important reason. They're UNCONSTITUTIONAL and they are flat-out wrong.
Forcing organizations like Campaign for Liberty to publicize donor information would have an incredibly chilling effect on political free speech.
Many liberty-loving Americans would silence themselves for fear of becoming targets of political retribution.
So when Campaign for Liberty's accountants and senior staff prepared our annual financial statements for submission to the IRS as required by law, I instructed our staff to REFUSE to comply with these unconstitutional IRS demands and leave off any identifying donor information.
As a 501(c)(4) organization, Campaign for Liberty contributor information is supposed to be confidential.
Now, after coming so close to passing Audit the Fed in the U.S. Senate -- and with our continued efforts to INCREASE Senate pressure by passing the bill through the House -- the situation with the IRS is getting more serious by the day.
Their goal is to wipe our liberty movement off the map as a political force this election year by draining us with expensive fines and sky-high court costs.
But not fighting back could allow President Obama's goons to go on a rampage against anyone they've identified as a political enemy.
So if you think standing up to the IRS's demands should be our number-one priority, please mark "OPTION #2: FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE IRS."
Our third big priority is, of course, Audit the Fed.
Please consider just how far we've come with Audit the Fed -- and how very close we are to finally EXPOSING the Federal Reserve's corruption and cronyism.
Name virtually anything you HATE about Washington, D.C. today -- from a government that's involved in every aspect of our lives, to boondoggles like ObamaCare, to never-ending military adventurism and you'll find the banksters at the Fed bankrolling it all.
When taxing and borrowing cash aren't enough to make ends meet, the Fed simply prints more money to pay the bills –– enabling a government that's bigger and more intrusive than Americans would ever accept if its cost weren't hidden through inflation.
The good news is, with the results of the presidential race, the establishment in Washington, D.C. is scared stiff.
They've seen the American people rising up against the status quo, and they're scared stiff for their political futures.
That's why, after falling only seven votes shy of passing Audit the Fed in the Senate this January, if you and I can possibly create another tidal wave of momentum, the result could be far different.
As I write you, Campaign for Liberty is working to force Audit the Fed back on the Senate's agenda by passing it through the U.S. House as we've done the last two Congresses.
If we succeed, we could be setting up a fall showdown over Audit the Fed in the Senate -- pushing this issue to the very forefront of the U.S. presidential race.
With nearly 75% of the American people in support of Audit the Fed, any senator who opposes Audit the Fed will do so at their own political peril.
With Donald Trump publicly pledging a Fed audit within the first 100 days of his presidency -- while Hillary Clinton remains silent on Audit the Fed while raking in campaign contributions from Federal Reserve employees, including a Fed Governor -- President Obama may sign Audit the Fed in order to protect Hillary's presidential campaign.
So if you think auditing the Federal Reserve should be Campaign for Liberty's top priority, please mark "OPTION #3: EXPOSE THE FEDERAL RESERVE!"
And finally, remember that 2016 is a critical election year as well (as if you could forget).
Frankly, the statists in BOTH parties in Washington, D.C. have had enough of our liberty movement.
After all, you and I have seen more than our share of successes.
Whether it's Audit the Fed, sounding the alarm over government spying, derailing the National Internet Sales Tax -- or blocking schemes to impose a National ID -- liberty movement allies are making their impact felt.
Not that long ago, I was the lone voice for constitutional government in Congress.
But today, with leaders like my son Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and U.S. Reps. Justin Amash (R-MI-3) and Thomas Massie (R-KY-4) charting the path forward, the liberty movement continues to grow.
The bad news is, BOTH parties are gunning for us.
So you and I are going to have to FIGHT back like never before if we want to build the numbers it will take to ultimately restore liberty in America.
That means pulling out all the stops to EXPOSE statists' Big Government records by using every tool at our disposal, including email, social media, U.S. mail, grassroots mobilization, and even Internet and TV ads (if I can raise the resources).
A plan this big is not going to be cheap.
But I can't imagine waving the white flag and allowing the Big Government forces we've fought so hard against to steamroll us!
So if you think preparing for November should be Campaign for Liberty's top priority, please mark "OPTION #4: EXPOSE THE STATISTS IN NOVEMBER!" on your Mid-Year Member Ballot.
As you'll see, there are no easy choices.
Our country is on the brink, and I'm afraid the only way to bring it back is to fight harder than we ever have.
That's why, as you'll see, I've included one more option on your Member Ballot.
If you think C4L should fight on all four of these fronts and more, please click "OPTION #5: FIGHT EVERYWHERE! DON'T GIVE AN INCH!"
But please recognize how serious this is.
Without a massive influx of funds, I simply won't be able to even run a full program on any one of these critical battles through the rest of the year -– let alone all of them!
Fighting the statists everywhere will mean I simply must count on you to go above and beyond what you've done in the past.
That's why I simply must hear from you right away.
So can I please count on your most generous contribution of $30 TODAY?
I know that's a lot. I know it's more than you've done in the past.
But if $30 is just too much, please rush me your most generous contribution of $20 or at least $10 IMMEDIATELY!
With so much on the line, this could not be more serious.
So please return your Mid-Year Member Ballot to me right away, and tell me how to proceed.
For Liberty,
Dr. Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. As you'll see, I've enclosed a special Campaign for Liberty Member Ballot with this letter.
I have only a few weeks to nail down Campaign for Liberty's most crucial plans for the rest of 2016, but I can't do that without hearing from you first.
So please fill out your Mid-Year Member Ballot and return it to me right away along with your most generous contribution of $30 , $20 or at least $10 at once!
And if you have already signed your ballot, please forward this to a family member or friend right now.
With the months ticking away in President Obama's final term in the Oval Office, the battle cry emerging from the White House right now is "DESTROY YOUR ENEMIES!"
Using every means at their disposal, the Obama administration is preparing to unleash a torrent of Big Government schemes.
Whether it's Campaign for Liberty's ongoing fight with the IRS, the fight over the U.S. Supreme Court -- or the rapidly approaching November elections -- the stakes couldn't be higher for our liberty movement.
But after a mid-year review of Campaign for Liberty's financial situation, I'm afraid I'm facing an enormous problem.
We can't put up much of a fight for the remainder of 2016.
Not without a serious and IMMEDIATE influx of funds. And even then, I am afraid serious choices must be made. But this is OUR Campaign for Liberty, not only mine.
That's why I've written a special Mid-Year Member Ballot for your review.
As Campaign for Liberty President Norm Singleton and I sketch out our final plans for the rest of 2016, I need you to please tell us where to focus.
But I have only until July 1st to make a final decision. So please act right away!
With so much on our plates it's a decision I don't want to make without hearing from you.
So please give me your opinion. It will only take a moment of your time.
And if you have already signed your ballot, please forward this to a family member or friend right now.
One of my very top concerns right now is the Supreme Court vacancy left with the passing of Justice Antonin Scalia.
While Justice Scalia sometimes failed the liberty movement on issues like privacy, he was an ally on many other core constitutional issues.
Not only that, but he stood as a bulwark against those who would use federal courts to reshape American society.
Now, with his passing, the statists can hardly contain their glee.
Should President Obama succeed in confirming his nominee, Merrick Garland, there could be no saving our remaining constitutional liberties:
*** The Fourth Amendment will be further eroded as government agents stick their nose into more aspects of your "private" life;
*** The Second Amendment could be "interpreted" out of existence;
*** First Amendment protections -- like those that ensure Campaign for Liberty can boldly speak out against BOTH parties' radical Big Government schemes -- could be all but DESTROYED;
*** New EPA regulations, handing government vast new tax and regulatory controls over individual citizens' private property, would be rubber-stamped.
In fact, the left-wing website Daily Kos brags, "We'd affect the fundamental direction of the Court not for a year or two but possibly for a generation."
So if you think STOPPING confirmation of any Justice who would tip the scales in the statists' favor should be Campaign for Liberty's top priority, please mark "OPTION #1: STOP PRESIDENT OBAMA'S SUPREME COURT TAKEOVER!" on your Mid-Year Member Ballot.
The second fight we are prioritizing this year is our ongoing fight with the IRS.
For more than two years now, I've fought the IRS's demands for the names, addresses, and other confidential personal information on select Campaign for Liberty contributors.
With the help of good folks like you, I've stood up to their attempts to cripple Campaign for Liberty with everything from legal threats to $10,000-a-day fines.
I did so for an important reason. They're UNCONSTITUTIONAL and they are flat-out wrong.
Forcing organizations like Campaign for Liberty to publicize donor information would have an incredibly chilling effect on political free speech.
Many liberty-loving Americans would silence themselves for fear of becoming targets of political retribution.
So when Campaign for Liberty's accountants and senior staff prepared our annual financial statements for submission to the IRS as required by law, I instructed our staff to REFUSE to comply with these unconstitutional IRS demands and leave off any identifying donor information.
As a 501(c)(4) organization, Campaign for Liberty contributor information is supposed to be confidential.
Now, after coming so close to passing Audit the Fed in the U.S. Senate -- and with our continued efforts to INCREASE Senate pressure by passing the bill through the House -- the situation with the IRS is getting more serious by the day.
Their goal is to wipe our liberty movement off the map as a political force this election year by draining us with expensive fines and sky-high court costs.
But not fighting back could allow President Obama's goons to go on a rampage against anyone they've identified as a political enemy.
So if you think standing up to the IRS's demands should be our number-one priority, please mark "OPTION #2: FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE IRS."
Our third big priority is, of course, Audit the Fed.
Please consider just how far we've come with Audit the Fed -- and how very close we are to finally EXPOSING the Federal Reserve's corruption and cronyism.
Name virtually anything you HATE about Washington, D.C. today -- from a government that's involved in every aspect of our lives, to boondoggles like ObamaCare, to never-ending military adventurism and you'll find the banksters at the Fed bankrolling it all.
When taxing and borrowing cash aren't enough to make ends meet, the Fed simply prints more money to pay the bills –– enabling a government that's bigger and more intrusive than Americans would ever accept if its cost weren't hidden through inflation.
The good news is, with the results of the presidential race, the establishment in Washington, D.C. is scared stiff.
They've seen the American people rising up against the status quo, and they're scared stiff for their political futures.
That's why, after falling only seven votes shy of passing Audit the Fed in the Senate this January, if you and I can possibly create another tidal wave of momentum, the result could be far different.
As I write you, Campaign for Liberty is working to force Audit the Fed back on the Senate's agenda by passing it through the U.S. House as we've done the last two Congresses.
If we succeed, we could be setting up a fall showdown over Audit the Fed in the Senate -- pushing this issue to the very forefront of the U.S. presidential race.
With nearly 75% of the American people in support of Audit the Fed, any senator who opposes Audit the Fed will do so at their own political peril.
With Donald Trump publicly pledging a Fed audit within the first 100 days of his presidency -- while Hillary Clinton remains silent on Audit the Fed while raking in campaign contributions from Federal Reserve employees, including a Fed Governor -- President Obama may sign Audit the Fed in order to protect Hillary's presidential campaign.
So if you think auditing the Federal Reserve should be Campaign for Liberty's top priority, please mark "OPTION #3: EXPOSE THE FEDERAL RESERVE!"
And finally, remember that 2016 is a critical election year as well (as if you could forget).
Frankly, the statists in BOTH parties in Washington, D.C. have had enough of our liberty movement.
After all, you and I have seen more than our share of successes.
Whether it's Audit the Fed, sounding the alarm over government spying, derailing the National Internet Sales Tax -- or blocking schemes to impose a National ID -- liberty movement allies are making their impact felt.
Not that long ago, I was the lone voice for constitutional government in Congress.
But today, with leaders like my son Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and U.S. Reps. Justin Amash (R-MI-3) and Thomas Massie (R-KY-4) charting the path forward, the liberty movement continues to grow.
The bad news is, BOTH parties are gunning for us.
So you and I are going to have to FIGHT back like never before if we want to build the numbers it will take to ultimately restore liberty in America.
That means pulling out all the stops to EXPOSE statists' Big Government records by using every tool at our disposal, including email, social media, U.S. mail, grassroots mobilization, and even Internet and TV ads (if I can raise the resources).
A plan this big is not going to be cheap.
But I can't imagine waving the white flag and allowing the Big Government forces we've fought so hard against to steamroll us!
So if you think preparing for November should be Campaign for Liberty's top priority, please mark "OPTION #4: EXPOSE THE STATISTS IN NOVEMBER!" on your Mid-Year Member Ballot.
As you'll see, there are no easy choices.
Our country is on the brink, and I'm afraid the only way to bring it back is to fight harder than we ever have.
That's why, as you'll see, I've included one more option on your Member Ballot.
If you think C4L should fight on all four of these fronts and more, please click "OPTION #5: FIGHT EVERYWHERE! DON'T GIVE AN INCH!"
But please recognize how serious this is.
Without a massive influx of funds, I simply won't be able to even run a full program on any one of these critical battles through the rest of the year -– let alone all of them!
Fighting the statists everywhere will mean I simply must count on you to go above and beyond what you've done in the past.
That's why I simply must hear from you right away.
So can I please count on your most generous contribution of $30 TODAY?
I know that's a lot. I know it's more than you've done in the past.
But if $30 is just too much, please rush me your most generous contribution of $20 or at least $10 IMMEDIATELY!
With so much on the line, this could not be more serious.
So please return your Mid-Year Member Ballot to me right away, and tell me how to proceed.
For Liberty,
Dr. Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. As you'll see, I've enclosed a special Campaign for Liberty Member Ballot with this letter.
I have only a few weeks to nail down Campaign for Liberty's most crucial plans for the rest of 2016, but I can't do that without hearing from you first.
So please fill out your Mid-Year Member Ballot and return it to me right away along with your most generous contribution of $30 , $20 or at least $10 at once!
And if you have already signed your ballot, please forward this to a family member or friend right now.

Help fight Garland's bid for the Supreme Court
From The National Right To Work Committee:
Barack Obama is plotting to cripple the fight to protect worker freedom by installing Merrick Garland, a Big Labor approved justice on the Supreme Court.
And to make matters worse, as many as 16 Republicans may be wavering on their commitment to block Garland's nomination by agreeing to meet with Obama's nominee.
The consequences of Republicans folding on their pledge to block Garland's nomination would be disastrous.
A recent 4-4 split vote in the Friedrichs case left a lower court ruling in place upholding forced-union dues.
The California teachers fighting to be free from the clutches of union bosses and their forced dues scheme petitioned the Court to rehear their case.
Observers believe the Supreme Court could take up the case again as soon as next year.
But if Republicans wilt under Big Labor's pressure campaign, Garland is very likely to vote with the Court's four liberal justices to deliver a gut-punch to the worker freedom movement.
That's why I'm asking for your immediate help.
Your National Right to Work Committee has launched a "Stop the Obama Takeover" Banner Bomb to raise $30,000 by May 1st to blanket the states of wavering Senators with ads urging them to live up to their word and block Garland's nomination.
A 5-4 ruling in favor of forced-dues is not even the worst decision that a Big-Labor dominated Supreme Court could hand down.
Recently, liberal law professors bragged that a pro Big Labor Supreme Court majority could rule Right to Work itself as unconstitutional.
And now, one Wisconsin judge just handed the nation a peek at the future of Right to Work if Barack Obama gets his way and installs a pro-Big Labor nominee on the Supreme Court.
The judge's ruling struck down the state's Right to Work law by agreeing with Big Labor's lawyers that the state of Wisconsin cannot protect employees from union bosses who threaten to have them fired for refusing to pay dues or fees to a union they don't support.
If Barack Obama's union label nominee, Merrick Garland, is confirmed to the Supreme Court, I'm afraid his record proves he could very well cast the deciding vote to eliminate Right to Work laws across the country.
His 20 year record on the D.C. Court of Appeals reveals his Big Labor bias.
In fact, in two cases he sided against workers represented by the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation.
He even voted to gut the Supreme Court's decision in the Beck case, which allows workers to opt-out of paying the portion of their dues that funds union politics.
And AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka heaped praise upon Garland and called his pro-Big Labor credentials "impeccable."
That's why I was so disturbed by the news some Republicans might be faltering on their commitment to block Garland's nomination.
So I'm asking you to chip in a contribution to the "Stop the Obama Takeover" Banner Bomb right away.
Your generous support will help your National Right to Work Committee launch a targeted online advertising campaign in states like Arkansas, Iowa, Maine, New Hampshire and Ohio urging their senators to stand firm on their commitment to block Garland's nomination.
With the November elections around the corner, Big Labor is cranking up the pressure on Republicans in the Senate to confirm Garland.
And unless Right to Work supporters across America rise up in opposition, I'm afraid of what may happen.
The good news is, despite the union boss arm-twisting, at least one Republican responded to the grassroots uprising against Garland's nomination and reversed course on his intention to hold hearings on the Garland nomination.
I'm convinced you and I have a chance to hold the line against Garland's nomination.
But that is going to require a megaphone to compete with Big Labor.
That's why I'm asking you to chip in and support the "Stop the Obama Takeover" Banner Bomb.
Your contribution will allow your National Right to Work Committee to gin up grassroots pressure in targeted states by blanketing the Internet and social media with ads urging key Senators to hold the line against the Garland nomination.
This won't be easy -- or cheap.
That's why we have until May 1st to raise the $30,000 necessary to fund this crucial program.
So please chip in a contribution before the deadline and help your National Right to Work Committee fight back against Big Labor's court-packing scheme.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
President, National Right to Work

Help Campaign For Liberty stand up to the IRS
From Campaign For Liberty:
“DESTROY ALL ENEMIES.”
With time running out in the Obama presidency, I suspect that’s the secret battle cry emerging from the White House right now.
Today, with the April income tax deadline come and gone -- and flushed with more American tax dollars than ever before -- the Big Government goons at the IRS can set their sights back on their number-one priority this critical election year...
And that’s doing whatever they can to PUNISH organizations like Campaign for Liberty for refusing to hand over the names and confidential information on a handful of our supporters.
This is not a drill.
As Campaign for Liberty’s finances stand right now, I will have no choice but to surrender to President Obama’s IRS henchmen and shut Campaign for Liberty’s doors, should the legal threat I’m bracing for materialize.
That’s why I’m counting on your IMMEDIATE action.
According to our finance and legal departments, Campaign for Liberty must raise an emergency $75,000 by midnight on Thursday, April 28, to have the resources it'll take to fight back.
Can I count on your immediate contribution of $50 before the deadline to help me resist their attacks?
When the knock on the door comes, their demands will be for the names, addresses, and other confidential personal information on select Campaign for Liberty contributors.
For more than two years now -- with the support of good folks like you -- I’ve fought the IRS’s attempts to cripple Campaign for Liberty with everything from legal threats to $10,000-a-day fines.
But now, after coming so close to passing Audit the Fed in the U.S. Senate -- and our efforts to INCREASE Senate pressure by passing the bill through the House -- the situation with the IRS is getting more serious by the day.
I’m not sure I can hold them off much longer -- even with everything you and I have on the line in 2016.
After putting a majority of the Senate on record in support of Audit the Fed, the banksters, corporate lobbyists, social welfare bureaucrats, and big spending statists in BOTH parties in Washington, D.C. now understand we can’t be ignored. We’re just too “dangerous” to the survival of the racket they’ve created.
And I’m afraid they’re counting on the IRS to do their dirty work for them by targeting Campaign for Liberty for DESTRUCTION.
Make no mistake -- when they come for us, C4L will be in full financial crisis mode.
That’s why I need your IMMEDIATE action.
Will you chip in an emergency contribution of $50 to help me resist? Please make your contribution before Thursday's midnight deadline.
I know I’ve asked a lot of you lately.
But the last time they came for us, the initial fight devastated C4L to the tune of over $125,000.
Let me explain the stakes very clearly.
You see, just recently, Campaign for Liberty’s accountants and senior staff prepared our annual financial statements for submission to the IRS, as required by law.
Once again, I instructed our staff to REFUSE to comply with IRS demands and leave off any identifying donor information.
As a 501(c)(4) organization, Campaign for Liberty contributor information is supposed to be CONFIDENTIAL.
This is a critical protection I wholeheartedly support. Privacy and liberty go hand-in-hand. When Thomas Paine published his pamphlet Common Sense in 1776, he did so anonymously.
Forcing organizations like Campaign for Liberty to publicize donor information would have an incredibly chilling effect on political free speech.
Many liberty-loving Americans would silence themselves for fear of becoming targets of political retribution.
So there’s no way I would ever just hand this kind of information over to these government bureaucrats.
That’s just not an option.
After a case where the National Organization for Marriage complied with IRS demands and promptly saw their donor information publicized, the IRS has only occasionally attempted to “enforce” this rule...
... EXCEPT with Campaign for Liberty.
Twice now, after filing with the IRS and leaving off confidential donor information, we’ve received threatening letters from the IRS imposing outrageous daily fines that could have forced us to shut our doors within weeks.
In those cases, it took a firestorm of public opposition, led by good folks like you -- and the threat of our attorneys filing a federal case that could have ended up at the Supreme Court -- to force the IRS to finally back down.
But even in backing down, they refused to admit they were wrong, showing they fully intend to come after us again when the heat dies down.
Now, after C4L members and supporters forced the recent Senate vote on Audit the Fed -- proving how effective we can be -- I fear the pressure is on the IRS from ALL corners of the federal government, and its cronies, to come after us with everything they have.
And with the April income tax deadline passed, the IRS is free to turn its focus against its political enemies -- that means you and me.
So today I’m coming to you once more.
Can I count on your immediate contribution of $50 to help make sure Campaign for Liberty has the resources to fight back against the IRS?
The IRS is as corrupt as ever. Lois Lerner is STILL walking free -- even after revelations she used a fake email address under the name “Toby Miles” to hide how she was using her power to target pro-liberty groups.
Half-hearted attempts by Congress to force the IRS to stop targeting political enemies haven’t changed anything.
In fact, a recent audit by the non-partisan Government Accountability Office showed how internal IRS controls are skewed to justify targeting religious and political organizations.
It’s no accident!
Our government today views anyone who dares to stand up to them as an enemy.
With virtually unlimited government resources and slick Obama administrations' lawyers, the power the IRS wields is staggering.
Sure, their attacks on Campaign for Liberty and others are blatantly UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Sure, I have no doubt we could face them down in court.
But at what cost?
Campaign for Liberty is run on a shoestring budget. We don’t have millions lying around in the bank.
This fight is about draining our funds.
This is about forcing me to take resources off of other critical programs -- like Audit the Fed and our 2016 election year efforts -- just to keep our doors open.
Let me be clear. As C4L’s finances stand right now, I will have no choice but to surrender to President Obama’s IRS henchmen and shut Campaign for Liberty’s doors should this legal threat materialize.
When the IRS responds to our annual filing, either with an angry letter or a sneering agent at my door, I can’t wait around -- not without risking potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.
I asked for your advice in March. And your response was a resounding, “Stand up and Fight!”
I heard you, loud-and-clear.
But to continue the fight to pass Audit the Fed AND stand up to the IRS is simply impossible without an immediate influx of funds.
That’s why I’m counting on you to make your most generous contribution to my Emergency IRS Attack Money Bomb.
Please act quickly. As I mentioned, I need to be prepared the moment I hear back from the IRS.
If you understand the dire state of things today, I know you will at least consider going above and beyond what you’ve given in the past with a contribution of $50.
I know that’s a lot. But this is the IRS we’re talking about. This is not a game.
But if $50 is just too much, please agree to $25 or at least $10.
With the stakes getting higher every year, I have to ensure you have my back on this every year and every step of the way.
Without it, I could be sealing a horrific fate for Campaign for Liberty.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul

Let me be clear. As C4L’s finances stand right now, I will have no choice but to surrender to President Obama’s IRS henchmen and shut Campaign for Liberty’s doors should this legal threat materialize.
When the IRS responds to our annual filing, either with an angry letter or a sneering agent at my door, I can’t wait around -- not without risking potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.
I asked for your advice in March. And your response was a resounding, “Stand up and Fight!”
I heard you, loud-and-clear.
But to continue the fight to pass Audit the Fed AND stand up to the IRS is simply impossible without an immediate influx of funds.
That’s why I’m counting on you to make your most generous contribution to my Emergency IRS Attack Money Bomb.
Please act quickly. As I mentioned, I need to be prepared the moment I hear back from the IRS.
If you understand the dire state of things today, I know you will at least consider going above and beyond what you’ve given in the past with a contribution of $50.
I know that’s a lot. But this is the IRS we’re talking about. This is not a game.
But if $50 is just too much, please agree to $25 or at least $10.
With the stakes getting higher every year, I have to ensure you have my back on this every year and every step of the way.
Without it, I could be sealing a horrific fate for Campaign for Liberty.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. With time running out in the Obama presidency, and with the April tax deadline come and gone, the Big Government goons at the IRS are free to set their sights back on their number one priority this critical election year...
That’s doing whatever they can to PUNISH organizations like Campaign for Liberty for refusing to hand over the names and confidential information on a handful of supporters.
And as Campaign for Liberty’s finances stand right now, I will have no choice but to surrender to President Obama’s henchmen and shut Campaign for Liberty’s doors, should the legal threat I’m bracing for materialize.
Will you please click here to make your contribution of $50, $25 or at least $10 to the Emergency IRS Attack Money Bomb IMMEDIATELY?

Tell the House to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen
From Freedom Works:
Ever since Obama appointed John Koskinen as IRS Commissioner, the IRS has gone from bad to worse. He’s allowed the culture of corruption to grow at the IRS. He’s worked tirelessly to cover up the IRS’s past scandals, and he’s lied under oath to do it. No matter how you look at it, John Koskinen’s tenure as IRS Commissioner has been a complete and utter disaster. Contact the House Republicans and tell them to impeach John Koskinen immediately.
The IRS is one of the most feared and powerful institutions of our government. And we cannot continue to allow this crook to continue running it. Members of the House Freedom Caucus are fighting tooth and nail to impeach Obama’s crony. But they can’t do it alone, they need the rest of the House Republicans to do it! So please, contact the House Republicans and tell them to impeach John Koskinen today.
Let’s get freedom working at the IRS again.

Targeting moderate Democrats to oppose Obama
From Freedom Works:
The Democrats think they’re winning the fight over the Supreme Court. But despite their best efforts, Senate Republicans are still standing strong. And now it’s time for you to go on the attack. We’re targeting several conservative state Democrats, and if we can get them to break ranks, this fight will be over! Send these moderate Democrats a message and tell them to oppose any Supreme Court nominee while Obama is in office.
Getting these conservative state Democrats to flip, could be the deciding factor in this fight. But they’re not going to do it on their own, you’ve got to make them. That’s why I’m asking you to send these conservative state Democrats a message and tell them to oppose any Supreme Court nominee while Obama is in office.
Let’s show the Democrats how freedom works.

White House bribes private companies not to oppose TPP
From Fight For The Future:
A major corporation just revealed that the U.S. government literally offered them a bribe if they’d stop opposing the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP.) [1]
This type of corruption is what we’re up against in the fight to stop the TPP. We’re battling the most powerful and politically entrenched forces in the world.
They have billions to spend on lobbying and influence. But we have real people like you who understand what’s at stake. We know people power can win, but we still need resources to make our campaigns possible. Will you stand up to the bribes and corruption and chip in?
Yes! I’ll chip in $5 to fight corruption and stop the TPP!
New Balance, a U.S.-based shoe company, opposed the TPP for years, echoing the concerns of experts who say it will hurt jobs and the economy.
But last year, the company suddenly went silent on the TPP. And now we know why––the U.S. government bribed them to shut them up. [2]
The Boston Globe reports that the White House straight up promised New Balance a big money contract supplying shoes to the Department of Defense, as long as they either supported or remained neutral on the massive trade deal.
This latest scandal has more to do with the TPP’s economic impact, but as Internet and free speech advocates, we have deep concerns with this agreement’s impact on our digital rights.
The TPP was negotiated in complete secrecy by lobbyists and government bureaucrats––including some of the same ones that were behind SOPA and the DMCA––and it contains extreme copyright provisions that threaten to expand Internet censorship worldwide. [2]
It reads like a wish list for monopolistic corporations and like a death sentence for the future of innovation, our Internet freedom, and our basic democratic process.
The giant corporations pushing the TPP have billions of dollars in potential profits on the line. They’re fighting dirty and there’s nothing they won’t do to get this deal passed.
We’ve still got a chance to stop this deal. But we can’t do it without your help.
We’ve already been successful in delaying the TPP for years. But now we need to crush this terrible idea once and for all. Here’s what we’ll use your donations for:
The TPP Roadshow! We’re partnering with Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine’s record label to organize a series of large-scale events featuring high profile artists and celebrities who will help us reach tens of thousands of people who don’t know about the TPP yet, and get them engaged in fighting it.
An online campaign to stop the TPP. We’ve already launched an action site at FightTheTPP.org, but we need to update it and add educational materials to help new people understand the dangers of the TPP.
A coordinated media strategy. We’ve been working hard to cut through the media blackout around the TPP. With more funds we’ll be able to spend more time reaching out to journalists and creating actions and campaigns that get mainstream media attention.
This fight is not going to be easy. It’s hard to imagine that New Balance is the only corporation that the U.S. government has attempted to bribe into supporting the TPP.
But if we come together, we can overcome entrenched political corruption and stop the TPP before it becomes law. Can you help make it possible?
Yes! I’ll chip in $5 to stop the TPP.
I’m so proud of all the work we’ve done so far. Thanks for being part of this movement.
For the Internet,
-Evan at FFTF

Don't let Obama put a liberal on the Supreme Court
From Freedom Works:
In 2009, a million of you marched on Washington to protect the Constitution from Obama and the progressives. Since then millions of you have signed petitions, made phone calls, sent emails, and even donated money to protect this sacred document. But believe me when I tell you, if Obama gets another liberal justice onto the Supreme Court, NONE OF IT WILL MATTER.
That’s how important this fight for the Supreme Court is, the soul of the country is what’s at stake here. Everything that you have fought for, everything you have built, will be wiped out if we lose this fight. That’s how powerful the Supreme Court is, that’s the damage another liberal on the Court can do. And that’s why FreedomWorks is doing everything we can to stop that from happening. But we can’t do it by ourselves, we need your support. That’s why I’m asking you to donate just $5 to our Supreme Court Defense Fund today.
I know you hate being asked to donate money. And believe me, I hate asking. But your donations are what make it possible for us to keep on fighting to protect the Constitution from the left. And if we lose this fight, well, I don’t to even want think about it.
But that’s not going to happen. In fact, I’ll spend every last dime we have before I let that happen, because I know I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I didn’t do everything I possibly can to save this country from decades of liberal judicial activism. And if you want to help me do it, please donate just $5 right now.
I’m laying it all on the line, I’ve shown you my hand. And I’m begging you, don’t let Obama win. Right now, we are winning this fight. But if we stop fighting, we will lose the Supreme Court for decades to come. So please chip in just $5 to help us protect everything we’ve fought so hard to accomplish.
I’m counting on you please don’t let me down.
For Freedom,
Adam Brandon

No SCOTUS nominee until Obama leaves office
From Freedom Works:
The liberal unions, Hollywood elites, and K-Street lobbyists are prepared to spend millions of dollars to pressure Senate Republicans into caving to Obama’s demands. They’re fighting tooth and nail to replace Justice Antonin Scalia with a radical liberal like Eric Holder or Loretta Lynch. We cannot allow Senate Republicans to fold, because if they do Obama’s “fundamental transformation” of America will finally be complete. Send a message right now to pressure Senate Republicans to oppose any Supreme Court hearings or confirmation until next year.
This is Obama’s last chance to turn the Supreme Court into a den of radical liberalism. But you can’t let that happen. You’ve got to stop him now! Your voice is critical in making sure the Senate stands up to Obama. Contact the Senate Republicans today, and tell them to oppose any Supreme Court confirmation while Obama is in office.
Freedom only works if you’re willing to fight for it.

Tell these Senators not to cave into Obama's demands
From Freedom Works:
You deserve to have a voice in selecting Justice Scalia’s successor to the Supreme Court. But some in Washington don’t want that to happen. They’d rather let Obama ram his nominee through the Senate, just to score cheap political points with the liberal media. This is wrong, and it’s up to you to stop them. Call these moderate senators today at 201-571-1178 and tell them to oppose any Supreme Court hearings or confirmation until next year.
We know that Obama’s doing everything he can to force these weak-kneed senators into giving him what he wants. He’s even got his friends in the liberal media and Hollywood pressuring them. And if you don’t fight back, they will cave! That’s why I’m asking you to call these senators at 201-571-1178 and tell them to oppose any Supreme Court confirmation while Obama is in office.
Let’s keep freedom working on the Supreme Court.
