Harry and the man-hater party bitch about no supreme court nominee allowed from the current administration

Unexpected twist in Senate move to ignore Scalia nominee

By Francine Kiefer, Staff writer February 23, 2016

Washington — After a year of relative cooperation in the Senate, severe partisanship has come roaring back over a United States Supreme Court nominee to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia.

Tuesday’s unanimous recommendation by Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee not to hold a hearing for a potential replacement, and to delay action until the next president, set Democrats on a tear.

They called the move historic, saying it was an example of the far right’s influence, and said it endangered the very system of government set up by the Founding Fathers. Refusing to even meet with a nominee will backfire on Republicans at the ballot box, they predicted.

But the dire warnings also came with a surprise: Neither side expects the political chasm over the issue to significantly affect legislative business for the rest of the year. Bills to overhaul prison sentencing, combat heroin abuse, and reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration still have a chance of passage, as does a patent bill.

That’s partly because Democrats have announced they will not engage in reprisal obstruction.

“I’m not going to turn into the destruct caucus,” Senate minority leader Harry Reid (D) of Nevada told reporters on Tuesday. “We will do our work,” he said, in answer to a question about whether Democrats would block the spending process to force the Republicans’ hand on a nominee.

“I don’t think [the nomination issue] should affect anything else in the Senate at all,” said Senate Republican conference chairman John Thune (R) of South Dakota. “There’s a lot of interest on both sides in moving bills that we know we have to get done.” The nomination fight “is a separate issue,” he told reporters Tuesday.

The proof of those statements remains to be seen, of course. But there’s another reason that some lawmakers think the nomination debate will not bring Congress to a halt. As Senator Reid acknowledged, there’s no point in Democrats shutting the Senate down procedurally because “there’s nothing to shut down.”

This is a presidential election year and precious little is achieved in such years. Beyond that, some of the few bills in the hopper involve Republican-on-Republican disputes.

For instance, both the House and Senate Judiciary Committees approved bipartisan bills to reduce mandatory minimum sentences for small-time drug offenders last year – but an intraparty disagreement over the need to prove criminal intent is preventing them from advancing to the floor. Conservatives including presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R) of Texas also say the bill is too soft on crime.

Still, not all Democrats believe the nomination tornado will cut a narrow path. It could “make it difficult for ordinary business,” said Senate minority whip Dick Durbin (D) of Illinois. He called it a “historic moment” as Democrats said that never before has a Supreme Court nominee been denied a hearing or a vote on the Senate Judiciary Committee – the only exception being nominees that went directly to confirmation.

Democrats may not have a procedural strategy to force the Republicans’ hand on this, but “we’re not going to let this go away,” Senator Durbin said. The nominee will be sent up by the White House, and he or she will meet with Senate Democrats. “We’ll be discussing that nominee, and we’ll be reminding the American people that the Republicans in the Senate refuse to do their job.”

A majority of Americans want the president to nominate a Supreme Court justice, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll – though the view is largely split along party lines.

Most Republican senators seem unconcerned that their move could cost them in November – though Sen. Mark Kirk (R) of Illinois, the most endangered of the Republican incumbents, has said that he would be willing to vote on a nominee.

Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R) of Kentucky, however, said Tuesday that he agreed with the Judiciary Committee's recommendation. “In short, there will not be action taken,” Senator McConnell told reporters. The majority leader also said he would not meet with a nominee.

The reasoning is that a Supreme Court appointment should not be made amid a presidential election.

“A lame-duck president should not be making a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court,” Senator Thune said. Democrats would argue the same if the situation were reversed, Republicans say.

When asked whether Republicans were concerned about political pressure, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R) of Utah said, "I'm not concerned about that.”

As to Democratic charges of obstruction, he said simply, “it’s not obstruction. This is saying that this is so important that it should not be brought up in this messy time, and it ought to be brought up for the next president, whoever that may be.”

Wah Wah. Old Harry Reid didn't mind playing cover for Obama. He didn't mind keeping job creating bills from getting to the floor of the Senate for a vote. He didn't mind obstructing audit the fed,thus subverting the will of the American people. So we are now supposed to drop everything to do the will of old Harry and his man-hating party. Fuck you,Harry. I support what Senator Mitch McConnell is doing. We don't want anything to come from the current administration anywhere near the Supreme Court. There is a vacancy and the next President will nominate someone to fill it.

Remind Senate Republicans to block Obama's SCOTUS nomination

From Freedom Works:

Last Monday, I asked you to tell Mitch McConnell to keep his promise and block any Supreme Court nominee while Obama is in office. And boy did you ever. You’ve helped drive over 15,000 emails to McConnell’s office in just 7 days! But now we’re starting to see some of the entrenched establishment Republicans turn tail and run to side with Harry Reid and the Democrats. This is wrong and we must stop Senate Republicans from surrendering before it’s too late. Help us fight back with a contribution of $5 right now.

Having the ability to keep Obama’s liberal nominee out of the Supreme Court is critical to our country’s freedom. That’s why FreedomWorks is preparing to launch a massive grassroots campaign to make sure Senate Republicans don’t cave to Harry Reid and the Democrats. We know some of these spineless Senators can’t be trusted, and that’s why we’ve got to hit them with everything we’ve got. But if we’re going to make this campaign successful, we need your help. We need to raise $150,000 in the next 48 hours, but we won’t meet our goal unless we have your support. That’s why I’m asking you to chip in $5 right now.

If Obama gets away with his Supreme Court scheme, we could be saying hello to Justice Eric Holder or Loretta Lynch. And that means we’d lose every major case heard by the Court for decades to come. The Constitution would be ripped to shreds, our freedoms would vanish, and there would be nothing you could do to stop them.

If Obama gets another liberal on the Court, his “fundamental transformation” of America will be complete. And he’s using his friends in DC and in the media to bully these Senate Republicans into caving to his demands. That’s why we’ve got to keep the pressure on these senators. FreedomWorks is prepared to see this through until Obama’s out of office. But we won’t be able to do it without your support. Can we count on you to help us meet our goal? Donate $5 right now to help us keep the fight alive and stop the Supreme Court from turning into a den of radical liberalism.

Freedom only works if you’re willing to fight for it. And now is that time.

Where in the world is Marco Rubio?

From Rand 2016:

If the American people can't trust Senator Marco Rubio to keep his promises and do the job he was elected to do, how in the world can we trust him to be president?

Yesterday, as I heard Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid gloating after passage of $1.1 TRILLION omnibus spending bill that he bragged "capped off a successful year for Senate Democrats," I couldn't help but wonder, where all of my Republican colleagues who told the American people they would fight President Obama's agenda?

One Senator, Marco Rubio, couldn't even be bothered to show up . . . again.

My campaign just cut a brand-new ad highlighting Senator Rubio's chronic absenteeism, which I hope you'll take a moment to watch.

If Senator Rubio is too busy running for President to stand with conservatives and fight President Obama's radicalism, he should stop ripping off taxpayers. Period.

At least then, patriots like you and me would have an opportunity to have a true conservative standing beside us in the Senate instead of a Senator who puts his own personal ambitions ahead of doing the job he promised voters to do.

If you agree, I hope you'll please agree to your most generous contribution to help me run this ad far and wide.

Whatever you can do -- whether it's $50, $25 or even $10 -- will help my campaign run this ad far and wide.

In Liberty,
Rand Paul

Tell Senators Durbin, Reid and Schumer: Don't let any of your colleagues threaten Net Neutrality.

Free Press Action Fund:

Negotiations over a must-pass budget bill that could threaten the survival of the Net Neutrality rules have now moved to the highest levels. While the conversations in Congress are still taking place behind closed doors, our sources tell us that anti-Net Neutrality riders are part of the latest proposal. These riders would flat out prevent the FCC from enforcing the Net Neutrality rules.

Congressional leaders need to hear from you TODAY: Tell them to stand up for the open Internet.

Democratic leaders Sens. Dick Durbin, Harry Reid, and Chuck Schumer have all said they support real Net Neutrality and the FCC’s right to enforce its rules. Now they need to prove it by standing up to those who want to kill these protections.

Tell Sens. Durbin, Reid and Schumer: Don't let any of your colleagues threaten Net Neutrality.

We’ve won this same fight before. Just last summer some longtime anti-Net Neutrality members of Congress tried to sneak bad language into government-funding bills. Thanks to the massive public outcry from people like you, those bills never made it to the floor. That could change now as talk of funding showdowns and shutdowns is starting up again in the run-up to the Dec. 11 budget deadline.

Durbin, Reid and Schumer have a lot of power. They need to stand strong for the nearly 4 million Americans who urged the FCC to protect Net Neutrality.

Your voice is needed: Tell congressional leaders to speak out for real Net Neutrality.

Congress shouldn’t be allowed to dismantle the FCC's strong open Internet rules through secret deals. We worked too hard for that win to let anyone undo it.

This stops now.

Thanks for all that you do—

Sandy, Matt, Dutch and the rest of the Free Press Action Fund team
freepress.net

P.S. Don’t let Net Neutrality opponents negotiate away your rights in secret. Tell congressional leaders to protect the FCC’s rules.

P.P.S. Most of you won't be calling your own members of Congress, but that’s OK. These offices need to hear from Net Neutrality supporters like you!

You could go with the numbers provided by Free Press Action Fund and/or you can email Senators Durbin,Reid and Schumer and tell them to leave Net Neutrality alone. The more of us they hear from the better so let them know. The internet freedoms you are saving may be your own.

Tell Congress to travel coach

From Freedom Works:

What if I told you that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are flying first class around the country on your dime? If you’re like me, I’m guessing you’d be pretty mad. And if that doesn’t raise your blood pressure, this will. The entire Congress is doing the same thing, and they’re not breaking any rules when they do it. Send a message to your Representative today, and tell them to stop flying first class your dime.

Thankfully Rep. Rod Blum is fighting to end this waste of your tax dollars. But naturally, Congress is trying to kill his bill. They want to protect this taxpayer funded perk. They think they’re entitled to it. I say it’s time to remind them that they work for us. Contact your Congressman today and tell them to stop flying first class on your dime!

Let’s show Congress how freedom works.

Bye Bye Harry

From The National Right To Work Committee:

He spent the past eight years protecting Big Labor's forced-dues coffers and their government-granted power of compulsory unionism. . .

In return, the union bosses spent BILLIONS of forced-dues cash seized from hard-working Americans to keep him in control of the U.S. Senate.

But after three decades helping Big Labor abuse American workers and our economy, Harry Reid is calling it quits.

And it's due in large part to the vigilance of Right to Work supporters like you.

You see, your continued support made the issue of worker freedom front and center this past November.

In fact, Roll Call Magazine called the Right to Work issue one of "the attack ads Harry Reid didn't want you to see."

But thanks to your support, American voters saw the ads -- and fired Harry Reid as Majority Leader.

And there's no doubt in my mind that Harry Reid being relegated to Minority Leader is what provoked him to retire.

As a result, you and I have an opportunity to replace a Big Labor ringleader with a Right to Work champion.

The question is: will you and I be able to take advantage?

Make no mistake: Big Labor bosses will go all-out to replace Harry Reid with another union lackey to do their bidding.

And they'll put in extra time and resources to ensure they maintain control over Harry Reid's open Senate seat.

The National Journal recently reported that, "One of the early favorites is shaping up to be former state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, a rising star in the [Democrat] party, who has maintained close ties to Reid."

On top of that, it's being floated around Washington D.C. that Harry Reid has selected Big Labor radical Chuck Schumer to replace him as Minority Leader.

Imagine Big Labor installing Harry Reid's protégé while regaining control of the Senate in 2016 with Chuck Schumer at the helm.

It’s not a pleasant thought.

With everything that's at stake, it's vital you and I find a Right to Work champion who won't kowtow to Big Labor's threats and intimidation tactics.

That's why your National Right to Work Committee must prepare for our 2016 Candidate Survey Program.

The Candidate Survey Program surveys all potential candidates running for office and lets you and me know exactly where they stand on the issue of worker freedom.

With nearly 75% of Americans opposed to forced unionism, candidates would be remiss not to answer their Right to Work Candidate Surveys.

After all, history has shown that those politicians who kowtow to Big Labor go down in flames when faced with re-election.

And most importantly, the National Right to Work Committee will -- with paid advertisements, the Internet and mass mail -- show Americans which candidates are for and which are against the union bosses' radical forced-dues agenda.

That's why I'm asking you to consider chipping in with a contribution of $30, $20, $10 or whatever you can afford to help your National Right to Work Committee prepare for this critical Candidate Survey Program.

It's crucial your National Right to Work Committee find and inform the constituents of Nevada about a pro-worker freedom advocate to replace Harry Reid.

And what better way to celebrate Harry Reid's retirement than by generously contributing whatever you can afford to opposing yet another Big Labor lackey?

So please consider chipping in whatever you can afford right away.

Thwarting Big Labor's attempts to replace Harry Reid with another forced-unionism militant and preserving a Right to Work majority in the Senate is vital to the fight for worker freedom.

With what's at stake, I must have our budget in order early on to put heat on the candidates and keep opponents of forced unionism informed.

And the fact is, the National Right to Work Committee's Candidate Survey Program couldn't be more important in the fight against forced unionism.

So please contribute $30, $20, $10 or whatever you can afford right away.

For Worker Freedom,

Mark Mix
President, National Right to Work Committee

P.S. After a three-decade tenure, including an eight-year reign as Majority Leader, Harry Reid is finally calling it quits.

Now you and I have an opportunity to replace one of Big Labor’s ringleaders with a Right to Work champion.

But Big Labor will do everything they can to install another union lackey to do their bidding.

That's why I'm asking you to consider chipping in with a contribution of $30, $20, $10 or whatever you can afford to help your National Right to Work Committee prepare for this critical Candidate Survey Program.

Harry Reid is taking up for re-election we have to stop him

From Stop Reid PAC:

It's official. Harry Reid's announced he'll seek a 6th term in the U.S. Senate.

However much we might think so, 30 years in the Senate isn't enough for Reid — he wants six more.

And he has his sights set on more than just getting re-elected. With only ten Democrats up for election in 2016 and 24 Republicans facing challengers, Harry Reid is planning to retake his coveted spot as Senate Majority Leader once more!

Harry's assembling his team, and his bagmen have already organized 4 fundraisers in January and February. In 2010, the Reid campaign spent over $25 million to ensure his 5th victory — you can bet he'll raise and spend even more in 2016.

That's why there's no time to lose. America simply can't afford any more of Harry Reid's disastrous career in Washington — but to have any chance of defeating him in 2016, we've got to prepare now!

That's why I hope you'll make an immediate contribution of $25, $50, or even $100 to support Stop REID PAC's efforts to do just that — finally — and send Harry Reid off into the Nevada sunset for good!

We've got to recruit the right person to run and win, lay the grassroots groundwork to counter Reid's entrenched campaign machine, and build a war chest to provide direct financial support and heavy GOTV support to our eventual candidate — but we can't do it without you.

Even if America elects a Republican president to succeed Barack Obama, nothing will change if Harry Reid regains control of the Senate — so no political priority is greater than defeating him in 2016.

Help us make sure our goal becomes reality — support our fight to see Harry Reid finally turned out to pasture — make an investment in his defeat today by chipping in $10, $25, or whatever you can today!

It's time for Harry Reid to say goodbye to Washington for good!

Stand by Rand Paul has he takes on the new Senate

From RandPac:

The 114th Congress convenes Tuesday.

And for the first time in eight years, Harry Reid no longer calls the shots in the U.S. Senate.

The American people elected Republicans to chart a new course and restore the time-tested principles of liberty and limited government in America.

And I'm going to answer the call.

On day one, I will fight to BLOCK Barack Obama's Executive Amnesty. I'll fight to REPEAL ObamaCare 100% -- every last word of it.

And I'll fight to rein in the NSA, Audit the Fed, protect worker freedom and restore the limited government principles you and I hold dear.

But if I'm going to hit the ground running on Tuesday I need to know you're with me every step of the way.

That's why I'm counting on you to stand with me in this fight by adding your name as a "Citizen Co-Sponsor" to the major offensive charges I'm going to lead in the new Congress.

You see, I've been called the Democrats' NUMBER ONE enemy by the press.

And there's good reason for that.

The voters soundly rejected Barack Obama and his liberal polices at the ballot box, proving the American people are insisting on a return to Constitutional principles.

The press and political pundits know our movement standing for principle is our best chance to WIN in 2016.

And they know that's exactly what I'll do.

There's nothing -- no election result or partisan bickering in Washington -- that can shake me from these principles and values.

And with you by my side as a Citizen Co-Sponsor, I plan to earn the title of being the Democrats' #1 enemy by leading a major offensive in the new Congress to:

>>>BLOCK Executive Amnesty.

President Obama's unconstitutional power grab violates the separation of powers established by our founding document.

The Constitution is clear that legislative power resides in Congress.

The President is not a king.

You and I must STOP Barack Obama's "Executive Amnesty" dead in its tracks by passing my legislation designed to block President Obama's unconstitutional "Executive Amnesty."

>>>REPEAL ObamaCare 100%.

As a practicing ophthalmologist for 17 years -- specializing in cataract and glaucoma surgeries, LASIK procedures and corneal transplants -- the ObamaCare issue angers me like few others.

The millions of Americans who were stripped of their health insurance or choice of doctors did not kick Democrats out of office to chip around the edges of ObamaCare.

I'm ready to lead the fight to repeal every word of ObamaCare.

>>>END Illegal NSA Domestic Spying.

Last year, we learned President Obama's NSA was collecting billions of emails and phone calls from law-abiding American citizens literally every day.

Our Fourth Amendment is on the brink of total destruction.

And I truly fear where the United States could be headed unless you and I put an end to government's out-of-control spying on American citizens.

In the new Congress I'll fight to pass my Fourth Amendment Protection Act, which would stop arbitrary data collection on American citizens without a warrant.

And I'll continue fighting a class-action lawsuit, which I hope will result in an end to this madness.

>>>AUDIT the FED.

The Federal Reserve's endless cycle of "print-now-ask-questions-later" drove the economy into a ditch preventing any chance of real recovery.

The Fed's policies hurt the poor and middle class the most by boosting the costs of goods and services.

Yet to this day the Federal Reserve is one of the most secretive institutions in our nation.

For two years in a row, Audit the Fed passed the U.S. House with overwhelming BIPARTISAN support. But Harry Reid flat-out refused to allow a vote in the Senate.

Now that voters have fired Harry Reid and elected Republicans to lead, it’s high time to crack open the Fed’s books and catalogue the damage done to our economy by passing Audit the Fed.

>>>END Forced Unionism.

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

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

Big Labor's billions are at the root of every Big Government attack on our liberty.

Every American who has any interest in Freedom has a stake in the fight over a National Right to Work Act.

I'll fight to pass my National Right to Work Act and END forced union dues in America once and for all.

Of course, these aren't fights that will be won overnight.

But they're fights you and I MUST fight -- starting right NOW!

Will you stand and fight with me by adding your name as a "Citizen Co-Sponsor?"

It's critical you do so right away.

When I go toe-to-toe with the President and powerful special interest lobbies, having YOU -- along with tens of thousands of other Citizen Co-Sponsors by my side -- will be a constant reminder to my colleagues of the message voters sent this past November.

So today I'm counting on you to sign on as a "Citizen Co-Sponsor" to the offensive battles I plan to wage in the new Congress.

And after you've added your name as a Citizen Co-Sponsor, if you could chip in a contribution, I'd really appreciate it.

Your generous contribution will help RANDPAC contact tens of thousands more of freedom-loving Americans and ask them to add their names as Citizen Co-Sponsors in this fight.

But most importantly please stand with me by adding your name as a "Citizen Co-Sponsor."

Thank you for all you do.

In Liberty,

Senator Rand Paul

P.S. The American people elected Republicans to chart a new course and restore the time-tested principles of liberty and limited government in America.

And I'm going to answer the call.

But if I'm going to hit the ground running on Tuesday I need you with me every step of the way.

That's why I'm counting on you to stand with me in this fight by adding your name as a "Citizen Co-Sponsor" to the major offensive charges I'm going to lead in the new Congress.

Support Rand Paul in 2016

From Rand 2016:

Can you and I keep the momentum going?

I hate to be this blunt.

But with two important dates right around the corner, I'm counting on your action today.

FIRST, the December 31st Fourth Quarter Fundraising Deadline is rapidly approaching.

I know I've already been labeled "Democrats' Enemy #1."

But a big fundraising quarter for me will help prove to our national media and members of BOTH parties that the sky is the limit for you and me in 2015 and beyond.

It will help prove that our shared movement for liberty and limited government – the movement Democrats fear most – is only growing!

With many folks already turning their focus to 2016, that's bad news for Big Government Democrats!

SECOND, on January 3rd, 2015, the new Congress is sworn in. Senator Harry Reid will be officially out as Senate Majority Leader.

If our Republican Party is serious about winning in 2016, we simply must deliver.

That means cutting spending, repealing ObamaCare, reining in NSA spying, and standing up to President Obama's abuses of power – like his recent Executive Amnesty scheme.

Make no mistake November 2014 was just the beginning.

With these two extremely important dates ahead of us, I'm counting on you to stand with me once again.

Will you please fill out your Republican Roadmap at once and agree to your most generous contribution IMMEDIATELY?

Please chip in whatever you can.

Your support today will make all the difference.

In Liberty,

Rand Paul

Elect Congressman Trey Gowdy Speaker of the House

From The Tea Party:

Speaker of the House Trey Gowdy -- How does that sound?

After the latest round of betrayals when John Boehner threw in with Barack Obama, it has become clear -- Boehner has to go. We need the Speaker of the House to be Trey Gowdy -- a true conservative.

Let me explain: in the last 7 days, Boehner has single handedly betrayed us and squandered the election results before a new Congressional majority could be sworn into office.

After securing 15 more seats in Congress in November's mid-term elections just weeks ago -- the biggest GOP House majority in over 80 years -- we need a strong leader who's fired up and eager to take on Barack Obama and his arrogant Imperial Presidency!

Instead we have John Boehner, who is giving in to the whole Obama agenda -- amnesty, Obamacare, and a fully funded government. It's all a done deal.

The American people are desperately looking for leadership to reverse the disastrous course Barack Obama and the Democrats have plunged our country down.

We need Speaker of the House Trey Gowdy.

Follow this link to sign on the dotted line and Draft Congressman Trey Gowdy to serve as the next Speaker of the House AND BRING TRUE CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP TO CONGRESS.

In the past two-and-a-half months, more than 200,000 patriotic Americans have already signed on to call for a conservative leader the House of Representatives -- a last line of defense against Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.

Will you join the call and sign the petition to draft Trey Gowdy to be the next Speaker of the House -- replacing John Boehner who has too often compromised and capitulated to Barack Obama?

America needs a strong leader like Congressman Trey Gowdy who's proven he will stand up to Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid -- and even liberals in his own party when necessary.

The response has been overwhelmingly in favor of drafting Congressman Trey Gowdy for Speaker of the House, BUT I'm worried we might miss our window of opportunity if we don't get your signature in right away! Will you CLICK HERE to join the call to draft Trey Gowdy to be the next Speaker of the House?

Gowdy is listening, but he's not convinced yet.

Congressmen Gowdy is well known for standing strong on principle, despite the mainstream media or public opinion -- these qualities will make him an excellent Speaker of the House and would return the House GOP to a strong position.

It's critical we not only elect strong conservatives to congress, but we must also replace weak leaders like John Boehner.

Our Plan:

1.Gather five-hundred-thousand more signatures to show Gowdy we're serious.

2.Deliver a copy of the signatures and the Official Draft Gowdy Petition to every GOP Congressman's office on Capitol Hill.

3.Notify the media of the official tally to show the ground swell of support we've uncovered for Congressman Trey Gowdy to replace Boehner as Speaker of the House.

Gowdy won't back down on Benghazi. AND I'm willing to say he wouldn't have compromised and capitulated to Barack Obama like John Boehner JUST DID AGAIN!

And that's why I'm asking you to sign your Draft Trey Gowdy for Speaker Petition today by clicking here immediately. Once you've signed, donate $5 or more and make sure we get this petition in front of another 10,000 Americans.

Let me remind you what we could have accomplished under Gowdy's leadership:

- We could have STOPPED the pork-filled House bill to fund the government,

- We could have repealed and defunded Obamacare,

- We could have said no to the massive debt increase in the latest tax-and-spend liberal budget,

- We could have protected disabled veterans' pensions AND CUT CONGRESS INSTEAD; and

- We wouldn't be on the verge of a massive new Amnesty bill.

That's why it is so important that we raise up 1 million Americans who will sign their name on the dotted line to draft Trey Gowdy as Speaker of the House.

And that's why I'm asking you to sign your Draft Trey Gowdy for Speaker Petition today by clicking here immediately.

Frankly, it doesn't do Americans any good when Republicans appease Barack Obama -- and that is exactly what is happing today with John Boehner as our speaker. Whether its raising the debt ceiling, selling out our veterans (Gowdy is a veteran), pushing Amnesty, or caving in on fully funding Obamacare -- our GOP leaders have failed us.

That's why with your signed petition today, we will start a grassroots movement to make Trey Gowdy the next Speaker of the House. We can't let the establishment keep putting up their cronies year in and year out to block true Conservative ideas that would shrink government and their power.

Will you sign your name today?

If you support having a strong, conservative leadership team in the US Congress -- led by a no-nonsense, conservative prosecutor and military man -- I'm asking you to do two things immediately:

1)Please -- right now before you do anything else -- click here to sign your Draft Trey Gowdy for Speaker Petition. I need you if we are going to reach our goal of 1 million signatures.

2)After you sign, please make a generous donation to help us reach our goal. Even $5 will help us distribute this petition to thousands more patriotic Americans. Of course, if you can afford $35 or even $75 that will be so much more helpful.

No matter what you are able to give, please sign your Draft Trey Gowdy Petition Right away.

No matter what you are able to give, please sign your Draft Trey Gowdy Petition Right away. The truth is -- the final vote for GOP leadership elections is just around the corner. And if the American people are going to have a conservative voice in Congress to lead the GOP -- I must have your support today.

Sincerely,

Rusty Humphries

PS. I need your immediate help. GOP leadership elections are about to be underway in the House of Representatives.

Will you join the call to draft Trey Gowdy to be the next Speaker of the House -- replacing John Boehner, who has too often compromised and capitulated to with Barack Obama?

Reid and Obama are trying to ram the Gay Bill Of Special Rights through a lame duck Congress

From Public Advocate:

The lame duck Congress begins today.

And President Obama and the Homosexual Lobby have never been more dangerous.

With Harry Reid soon fired as Senate Majority Leader, President Obama and the Homosexual Lobby are desperate to ram the Gay Bill of Special Rights through the House of Representatives before the new Congress returns in January.

I'm afraid they'll pull out all the stops to beg, borrow, and steal enough votes from defeated and retiring Congressmen to pass this anti-Family bill.

They already have 206 co-sponsors in the House, and my gut tells me if they are successful in securing a vote, they'll have enough support to pass.

Our best chance at defeating the Homosexual Lobby's desperate scheme is to unleash a tidal wave of pro-Family voices demanding Republican leadership in the House respect the midterm mandate and hold the line against the Homosexual Agenda.

I've already drawn up Public Advocate's hard-hitting plan to do just that, in part using targeted banners like the ones below.

This is the same hard-hitting program Public Advocate executed to expose the records of eight anti-Family U.S. Senators.

But unless my supporters can help us raise our $15,000 program goal by midnight, the Homosexual Lobby could drown out our pro-Family message.

Please click here to give your most generous contribution of $15 to help Public Advocate keep Republican House leadership's feet to the fire.

Don't let the Homosexual Lobby convince House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and Majority Whip Steve Scalise that pro-Family Americans aren't paying attention after the conservative wave of last week's elections.

Help Public Advocate keep their feet to the fire.

Click here to sign your petition to House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and Majority Whip Steve Scalise to demand they respect the pro-Family midterm mandate and hold the line against the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

And once you've signed, help Public Advocate make sure they get the message by giving your most generous gift of $15, $10, or $5 right away.

For the Family,

Let's defeat Harry Reid

From Rand PAC:

Can America endure two more years of President Obama's disastrous policies?

I'm not sure, and I'm not willing to find out.

If America is to halt Obama's Big Government agenda in its tracks, you and I must shut down his biggest cheerleader, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

That starts with conservatives taking control of the Senate this November.

And the October 23rd "Fire Harry Reid" Money Bomb deadline is conservatives' last chance to make sure our movement can fight back against the Democrats' onslaught of negative attacks.

That's why RANDPAC must raise $250,000 by October 23rd so we can budget our plans for the final 10 days of the campaign.

I'd hate to wake up the day after the smoke clears from the 2014 elections only to find that Harry Reid will still be calling the shots as the United States Senate's Majority Leader for the next two years.

I know many so-called "experts" claim the political environment is turning more toxic for Big Government Democrats by the day. I know the ObamaCare fiasco has many Senate Democrats scared stiff.

In fact, one House Democrat recently admitted he's worried the situation is about to "hit the fan!"

But I'm not taking anything for granted. With ObamaCare threatening every last shred of economic growth and our national debt skyrocketing to over $17.5 TRILLION, I think there's just too much at stake.

And without your IMMEDIATE action, two more years of President Obama armed with Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader could be exactly what we'll get.

After eight years of taxing-and-spending, I'm ready to bring Harry Reid's reign as Senate Majority Leader to a hard-and-fast end. And I'm asking you to help me make it happen.

If you stand with me, won’t you please chip in a contribution to RANDPAC's "Fire Harry Reid" Money Bomb?

I believe showing momentum could be a big boost not only to me, but to other liberty-minded Republicans running around the country.

You see, stopping President Obama's Big Government, tax-and-spend agenda for the next two years depends on stripping Harry Reid of his position as Senate Majority Leader.

Which means conservatives must take over the Senate.

Today, I need to know you'll stand with RANDPAC.

If you agree, please chip in a contribution to RANDPAC's "Fire Harry Reid" Money Bomb and help pave the way to victory.

I want so badly to believe the political "experts" who point to President Obama's dismal 41% approval rating in a recent Washington Post/ABC News Poll and say November 2014 could be another tidal wave election like you and I saw in 2010.

But I've also seen a recent Rasmussen Poll that stated a clear majority of American citizens are disillusioned with members of both parties.

The American people aren't stupid.

They understand it's Big Government politicians in BOTH parties who have brought our nation to the brink.

That means you and I have some work to do.

I believe, as Ronald Reagan said, it's time for our party to "raise a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues . . ."

After all, Americans now understand where President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stand.

They stand for ObamaCare – which is costing jobs, sending health insurance premiums skyrocketing and lowering the quality of American healthcare.

They stand for misguided "environmental" policies that have DOUBLED the price of a gallon of gas from $1.79 back in early 2009 to more than $3.65 today – despite a blooming energy boom in the United States!

They stand for collecting literally BILLIONS of phone and email records of American citizens every day.

Now, it's time for Americans to find out where you and I stand.

I believe the way to victory in 2014 isn't in mincing words and holding back.
It's not in charting out "pastel" positions cooked up by high-powered consultants in Washington, D.C.

It's by showing the American people that you and I are different by standing firm on Republican principles, including:

>>>LOWERING TAXES AND SPENDING. High taxes and out-of-control spending aren't solving our problems. They're the root cause!

>>>AUDITING THE FED. It's time to expose the Federal Reserve's secrecy and economic manipulation that lead to constant economic crises and dollar destruction;

>>>PROTECTING CIVIL LIBERTIES. Americans will not allow our federal government to run roughshod over our remaining freedoms in the name of "security." As Benjamin Franklin said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety;"

>>>REPEALING OBAMACARE. This $2.6 trillion disaster stands to wreck our economy. The national Republican Party can and must stand by all efforts to stop implementation at the state level;

>>>PROTECTING THE TENTH AMENDMENT. The national Republican Party should loudly stand with any state efforts to take back control over their respective jurisdictions under the Constitution of the United States;

>>>PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY AND PROPERTY. We must work to stop infringements on our Second Amendment rights like the Feinstein Gun Ban, protect the unborn and end the TSA.

The American people are hungry for leadership.

And one thing is crystal clear . . .

They're NOT getting that under this administration.

Whether it's the IRS targeting conservative organizations, ObamaCare or the growing Benghazi scandal, it seems all you and I ever get is blame-shifting, finger-pointing and excuses.

Is it really any wonder the American people's trust in their government continues to hover around record lows?

The good news is, I believe that America's realization that Washington, D.C. can't solve all our problems is the first step toward a reawakening toward freedom.

For months now, I've been spreading a message of liberty and limited government. I even received a standing ovation at the notoriously liberal University of California-Berkeley!

Now, with your help, I believe we can dethrone Harry Reid as Majority Leader in 2014.

But the October 23rd deadline is our last chance before the mid-term elections to make a statement that conservatives are prepared to FIGHT BACK.

If you agree, I simply must be able to count on your immediate support.

There must be no waving the white flag this election year. PERIOD.

The American people have had enough surrendering.

They're ready for a Republican Party that will boldly and unashamedly FIGHT for the principles they hold so dear.

But I must be able to count on your generosity.

After all, there are so many races that could decide the balance of power this election year.

Not only that, but there are a massive number of open seats up for grabs as well.

These contests are always notoriously hard-fought.

With so many this election year – including in Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota and West Virginia – you and I must prove that conservatives are determined to take back the Senate.

Any one of these races could decide whether or not Harry Reid holds onto his Senate Majority Leader position.

I'm more ready than ever to bring Senator Harry Reid's eight-year reign as Majority Leader to a hard-and-fast end this November.

But I'm afraid that can't happen without your most generous support to RANDPAC's "Fire Harry Reid" Money Bomb.

With your help, I can showcase that the American people's hunger for liberty is reaching critical mass as the elections near.

You and I can't afford to take anything for granted.

The October 23rd deadline is just 72 hours away.

I'm committed to doing everything I can to ensure victory in November. Today, I'm asking you to stand with me.

If you agree, please chip in a contribution to RANDPAC's "Fire Harry Reid" Money Bomb and help pave the way to victory as conservatives gear up to fire Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader.

Help the Senate Republicans defeat Harry Reid

From Senate Republicans:

After months of predicting GOP victory, the Washington Post’s statistical model now shows a 51 percent chance that the Democrats hang on.

Why?

The answer is simple – the Democrats are spending over $40 million more than the Republicans in battleground races. For weeks, our candidates have been holding on, despite a relentless barrage of negative ads – but we need your help now or it’s over.

I know that times are tough, that’s why we’re fighting so hard to bring new leadership that will turn things around. But, if we don’t rally together now – as a team – then we will lose as individuals.

Can we count on you?

Support Senator Rand Paul

From Rand 2016:

There are just 4 days left until I have to submit my financial report.

President Obama, his allies in Congress and establishment politicians in both parties are waiting to see if you're still in my corner.

Polls for key Senate races across the country show control of the Senate is up for grabs.

The liberals in Washington are counting on their big money Super PACs to push Democrats across the finish line and preserve Harry Reid's status as Majority Leader.

So the September 30th reporting deadline is a key test of our movement's strength.

President Obama and Harry Reid are hoping I fail to turn in a strong report on September 30th.

Can I count on you to help me prove them wrong?

I'm committed to fighting President Obama's disastrous agenda and winning at the ballot box in 2014.

That means fighting for 100% repeal of ObamaCare, ending the NSA's unconstitutional spying and always standing for life.

But I'm just one Senator.

You see, the politicians in Washington take their cues from you.

If I can turn in an eye-popping report by the September 30th deadline, candidates across the country will see the American people are demanding Congress to protect the Bill of Rights and stand up to President Obama's reckless policies.

And while 2014 looks like a year where conservatives can score major victories, it's vital we capitalize on a promising political environment with action.

That's why I hope you'll agree to chip in a contribution before the September 30th deadline.

Whatever you can afford - $10 or $20 - will help me reach my goal and send a clear signal to the Washington elite that the grassroots is primed to fight and win in 2014.

And believe me, the political class in Washington would like nothing more than to write the obituary for conservatives this year.

Prove them wrong by standing in my corner and helping me to submit the strongest report possible by the September 30th deadline.

Tell the Senate to Audit The Fed

From Campaign For Liberty:

I just received an email from Congressman Paul Broun thanking me for helping pass Audit the Fed in the House.

I wanted to forward it to you because the real reason why so many Members of Congress are supporting Audit the Fed is not what my staff and I did.

Rather, you and I are picking up support because of the petitions, post cards, phone calls, and letters that you and other dedicated Campaign for Liberty members and supporters have sent to Congress.

And now that Audit the Fed has passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support, you and I must now apply that same pressure to the U.S. Senate.

Harry Reid is expected to adjourn the Senate no later than Tuesday, September 23 - so there's no time to waste.

My staff has prepared an Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Blast urging your U.S. Senators to demand Harry Reid bring Audit the Fed to the floor for a full roll-call vote.

You can sign your Fax Blast here:Click here

Once you sign your Fax Blast, please chip in $5 or $10 to help C4L flood the U.S. Senate with tens of thousands of faxes urging a roll-call vote on Audit the Fed.

If there's ever a time when politicians are listening to the folks back home - it's right now when they're out looking for votes.

Thank you in advance for your support.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul

The Democrats are the enemy of the American people

Sen. Cruz Op-ed: The Democratic Assault on the First Amendment
June 1, 2014 | Sen. Ted Cruz
From The Wall Street Journal:

For two centuries there has been bipartisan agreement that American democracy depends on free speech. Alas, more and more, the modern Democratic Party has abandoned that commitment and has instead been trying to regulate the speech of the citizenry.

We have seen President Obama publicly rebuke the Supreme Court for protecting free speech in Citizens United v. FEC; the Obama IRS inquire of citizens what books they are reading and what is the content of their prayers; the Federal Communications Commission proposing to put government monitors in newsrooms; and Sen. Harry Reid regularly slandering private citizens on the Senate floor for their political speech.

But just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it does. Senate Democrats have promised a vote this year on a constitutional amendment to expressly repeal the free-speech protections of the First Amendment.

You read that correctly. Forty-one Democrats have signed on to co-sponsor New Mexico Sen. Tom Udall's proposed amendment to give Congress plenary power to regulate political speech. The text of the amendment says that Congress could regulate "the raising and spending of money and in-kind equivalents with respect to federal elections." The amendment places no limitations whatsoever on Congress's new power.

Two canards are put forth to justify this broad authority. First, "money is not speech." And second, "corporations have no free speech rights."

Neither contention bears even minimal scrutiny. Speech is more than just standing on a soap box yelling on a street corner. For centuries the Supreme Court has rightly concluded that free speech includes writing and distributing pamphlets, putting up billboards, displaying yard signs, launching a website, and running radio and television ads. Every one of those activities requires money. Distributing the Federalist Papers or Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" required money. If you can prohibit spending money, you can prohibit virtually any form of effective speech.

As for the idea that the Supreme Court got it wrong in Citizens United because corporations have no First Amendment rights, that too is demonstrably false. The New York Times is a corporation. The television network NBC is a corporation. Book publisher Simon & Schuster is a corporation. Paramount Pictures is a corporation. Nobody would reasonably argue that Congress could restrict what they say—or what money they spend distributing their views, books or movies—merely because they are not individual persons.

Proponents of the amendment also say it would just "repeal Citizens United" or "regulate big money in politics." That is nonsense. Nothing in the amendment is limited to corporations, or to nefarious billionaires. It gives Congress power to regulate—and ban—speech by everybody.

Indeed, the text of the amendment obliquely acknowledges that Americans' free-speech rights would be eliminated: It says "[n]othing in this article shall be construed to grant Congress the power to abridge the freedom of the press." Thus, The New York Times is protected from congressional power; individual citizens, exercising political speech, are not.

If this amendment were adopted, the following would likely be deemed constitutional:

Congress could prohibit the National Rifle Association from distributing voter guides letting citizens know politicians' records on the Second Amendment.

Congress could prohibit the Sierra Club from running political ads criticizing politicians for their environmental policies.

Congress could penalize pro-life (or pro-choice) groups for spending money to urge their views of abortion.

Congress could prohibit labor unions from organizing workers (an in-kind expenditure) to go door to door urging voters to turn out.

Congress could criminalize pastors making efforts to get their parishioners to vote.

Congress could punish bloggers expending any resources to criticize the president.

Congress could ban books, movies (watch out Michael Moore) and radio programs—anything not deemed "the press"—that might influence upcoming elections.

One might argue, "surely bloggers would be protected." But Senate Democrats expressly excluded bloggers from protection under their proposed media-shield law, because bloggers are not "covered journalists."

One might argue, "surely movies would be exempt." But the Citizens United case—expressly maligned by President Obama during his 2010 State of the Union address—concerned the federal government trying to fine a filmmaker for distributing a movie criticizing Hillary Clinton.

One might argue, "surely books would be exempt." But the Obama administration, in the Citizens United oral argument, explicitly argued that the federal government could ban books that contained political speech.

The contemplated amendment is simply wrong. No politician should be immune from criticism. Congress has too much power already—it should never have the power to silence citizens.

Thankfully, any constitutional amendment must first win two-thirds of the vote in both houses of Congress. Then three-fourths of the state legislatures must approve the proposed amendment. There's no chance that Sen. Udall's amendment will clear either hurdle. Still, it's a reflection of today's Democratic disrespect for free speech that an attempt would even be made. There was a time, not too long ago, when free speech was a bipartisan commitment.

John Stuart Mill had it right: If you disagree with political speech, the best cure is more speech, not less. The First Amendment has served America well for 223 years. When Democrats tried something similar in 1997, Sen. Ted Kennedy was right to say: "In the entire history of the Constitution, we have never amended the Bill of Rights, and now is no time to start."

Harry Reid and Obama want to stack the deck against the American worker

From The National Right To Work Committee:

Barack Obama's latest payback to Big Labor is moving quickly -- and I need your help right away.

The U.S. Senate Labor Committee just announced it will hold a kangaroo court "hearing" on Tuesday on Obama's nomination of Sharon Block to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

You may remember Sharon Block.

Block, a former staffer for longtime forced-unionism proponent Ted Kennedy, was one of Barack Obama's bogus "recess" appointees to the NLRB.

The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held over the summer those appointments were unconstitutional.

Now the same Big Labor partisan who defied the rule of law could find herself back on the very federal agency at which she illegally participated in hundreds of decisions!

The rogue Obama NLRB has dedicated itself to rewriting American labor law every chance it gets, including;

***Forcing workers in non-Right to Work States to pay for union lobbying and political activities, via the Jeannette Geary case, where the NLRB blatantly IGNORED the Supreme Court's 1988 Beck decision;
***"Micro-organizing," which allows union militants to target and organize small units of workers if they know most employees at a workplace don't want to join a union;
***Ambush elections, which subject workers to quick-snap organizing where only Big Labor's side of the story is ever told and expose workers to many of the abuses of Card Check instant organizing;
***Forcing companies to continue automatic dues collection for Big Labor fat cats even after union contracts expire, flagrantly violating 60 years of precedent.

If the Senate confirms Block to a five-year term, undoing the damage the Obama Labor Board has already done -- and whatever union-boss power grabs they ram through in the final two years of Obama's terms -- will be even more difficult.

And I'm afraid Barack Obama and union-label Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just might get away with it, too.

It's time to start turning up the heat on the U.S. Senate at once.

I'm particularly concerned because some weak-kneed Senate Republicans caved in to Obama and Reid last year and agreed to give Richard Griffin, another sham "recess" appointee, a different job at the NLRB.

Not only that, Harry Reid made your job as grassroots citizens even more difficult.

You see, last year, Reid pulled the so-called "nuclear option" and broke the rules to gut the filibuster.

That allows Reid to ram Barack Obama's radical nominations through the U.S. Senate with the slimmest majorities.

Reid could even delay a floor vote until a "lame duck" session after losing his pro-forced-unionism majority in November, hoping concerned citizens like you aren't paying attention.

But you and I have stopped him before from underhanded tactics like that, such as when we stopped Reid from ramming through the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill in the "lame duck" session in 2010.

That's why it's vital we start turning up the pressure right away.

Sign your petition to your U.S. Senators opposing Sharon Block's nomination to the NLRB by clicking here.

The NLRB has been ground zero for Barack Obama's paybacks to Big Labor.

Obama's end-around of the Constitution was the most egregious example yet.

The Supreme Court unanimously struck that down, but what kind of message does the Senate send if it lets him get away with it?

That's why I'm counting on your action at once.

Please sign your petition opposing Sharon Block right away.

And after you do, I hope you'll chip in with a contribution of $10 or more to help your National Right to Work Committee turn up the heat.

With a Senate Labor Committee hearing on the nomination just days away, please sign your petition right away.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. The Senate Labor Committee has scheduled a kangaroo court "hearing" on Barack Obama's nomination of Sharon Block to the National Labor Relations Board.

Sharon Block, whose sham "recess" appointment to the NLRB was unanimously held unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court, defied the rule of law by illegally participating in hundreds of decisions.

Please click here to sign your petition to your U.S. Senators urging them to oppose Block's nomination.

Turn up the heat on audit the fed,national internet tax mandate

From Campaign For Liberty:

I’m nervous. . .

Shortly before the House adjourned for the August recess, Campaign for Liberty received word that House Leadership was planning to schedule a roll call vote on Audit the Fed in September.

Yet we are hearing from Capitol Hill sources that House Leadership may cut short the already limited number of days they will spend in D.C. this September, so they will look to rush through their remaining agenda.

I’m nervous because, with a suddenly shifting schedule, we could have only a day or two’s notice before the vote happens!

So C4L must be able to instantly place intense heat on wavering representatives in key House districts through email, Facebook and Google ads, and more to make sure this vote is as successful – or even stronger – than our 2012 results.

And if we win again in the House, we need to immediately use the victory to turn up the heat on Harry Reid’s vulnerable Senate cronies, who are facing difficult elections, and force them to publicly choose between Reid, the special interests, and the banksters, or the nearly 75% of Americans who support Audit the Fed.

In order to take such quick action, Campaign for Liberty must have the necessary funds ready to draw on right away.

And right now, we simply do not have those funds.

Will you please make a special emergency contribution of $30, $20, or $10 to help us have the resources to implement a full rapid response plan at literally a moment’s notice?

I know I’ve asked a lot from you this year, but we can’t afford to lose our best opportunity to not only once again pass Audit the Fed through the House but finally force Harry Reid to act.

With public discontent growing over ObamaCare, continuing high unemployment, and skyrocketing grocery prices, the last thing Reid’s vulnerable Senate cronies need is attention focused on how they are helping him block efforts to bring transparency to the institution responsible for so many of America’s economic problems: the Federal Reserve.

But unless we have the resources to quickly maximize pressure on the Senate if Audit the Fed passes the House, those senators may not feel enough heat to abandon Reid and the banksters!

So please support our rapid response efforts with your most generous contribution of $30, $20, or $10.

Audit the Fed is not the only issue that C4L must be prepared to fight on at a moment’s notice in September.

The coalition of powerful special interests and big-spending, tax-hungry politicians has not yet given up plans to sneak the National Internet Tax Mandate through Congress, including by attaching it to the moratorium on Internet access taxes.

The Senate could vote on attaching the National Internet Tax Mandate to the moratorium bill at any time next month, and if it passes there, we may only have hours to stop it in the House.

In addition, there is a strong possibility that Harry Reid will cut a deal with House Leadership to ram through a “Continuing Resolution” increasing government spending on programs including ObamaCare.

There are also reports that the Continuing Resolution may even include an extension of the Export-Import Bank.

Like Audit the Fed and the Internet Tax Mandate, the Continuing Resolution fight could be a very quick one, requiring us to have to immediately spring into action.

But right now, we do not have the funds to do everything needed in even one of these battles, much less all three.

So please support our efforts with a special contribution of $30, if you can today.

Having the resources right on hand is critical to ensure we accomplish our goals this fall, so if $30 is too much, can I count on you for a contribution of $20 or even $10?

We also want to ensure our 2014 Candidate Survey Program can run at full strength so the public can know where their candidates stand on key liberty issues.

A successful survey program is key to building on our successes in 2015 and beyond.

But if we are forced to drain our bank accounts to pass Audit the Fed, block the National Internet Tax Mandate, and stop the GOP leadership from once again caving to President Obama and Senator Reid, we will not be able to run our survey program at maximum capacity.

As you can see, the next month presents us with both challenges and opportunities to advance our agenda.

Unless we are prepared to take advantage of our upcoming window, however, the statists could succeed in not just continuing to block Audit the Fed but also in tightening control over the Internet and once again increasing spending and debt.

Please help Campaign for Liberty fight back with your most generous contribution of $30, $20, or $10 today.

Thank you for standing with us!

In Liberty,

John Tate
President

P.S. This September, Campaign for Liberty must be prepared to act on a moment’s notice on Audit the Fed, the National Internet Tax Mandate, and more.

If we can win on Audit the Fed again in the House, we need to immediately turn up the pressure on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his cronies to finally hold a Senate roll call vote.

But right now, we simply do not have the funds to do everything necessary on Audit the Fed, especially if we have to also fight other emergency battles in what could be a rushed congressional session.

So please help us ensure Campaign for Liberty can successfully advance Audit the Fed while beating back any last-minute attempt to expand government by making your most generous contribution of $30, $20, or $10 today!

Fire Harry Reid

From RandPAC:

"GOODBYE TO THE REPUBLICAN WAVE?"

That was the headline in a recent New York Times column dripping with excitement about the fact that election year 2014 is still too close to call, stating:

"The anti-Democratic wave might still arrive . . . [but] the promised Republican momentum has yet to materialize."

I know the New York Times has never been a friend to those of us who believe in liberty and limited government.

But make no mistake.

This is crunch time. Right now, campaigns all over the country are reaching a fever pitch. Polls in many of the most critical races show a dead heat.

If you and I want to finally put a stop to President Obama’s "remaking America," it must happen NOW.

As you’ll see, I’ve included a special RANDPAC "Harry Reid Pink Slip." Won’t you please sign it IMMEDIATELY?

With your help, my hope is that RANDPAC will finally counter the Democrats’ smear machine and fire Harry Reid as U.S. Senate Majority Leader.

After all, Democrats know they can’t run on their DISASTROUS Big Government record, which includes:

*** Hiking our national debt to nearly $17.6 TRILLION – which puts each U.S. taxpayer on the hook for $151,000! And that’s over and above the already stifling tax rates hardworking Americans are forced to pay every year!

*** Refusing to lift a finger to stop ObamaCare’s disastrous effect on American citizens’ lives as health plans are cancelled, insurance premiums skyrocket, businesses shut their doors and workers see their hours cut or jobs eliminated.

Meanwhile, taxpayers are getting bilked for an additional $2.6 TRILLION we simply don’t have and still tens of millions of Americans are still left uninsured!

*** Assaulting our most basic constitutional freedoms, including our Second Amendment rights, and flat-out refusing to stand up to the NSA’s spying on innocent American citizens’ phone calls, emails and Internet activity. Is it any wonder why President Obama’s approval numbers are in the basement?

In fact, one recent poll showed Americans view him as the worst president in modern history!

Sadly, I’m afraid none of that will matter if you and I aren’t willing to fight.

Knowing they’re unable to run on their records, Democrats are going to resort to lies and SMEARS about Republican candidates – using everything from class warfare to phony "war on women" scare tactics.

Special interests who depend on their crony capitalist government connections to turn a "profit" – and want to see the bailouts, "stimulus packages" and sweetheart deals continue – are doing everything they can to ensure Harry Reid remains Senate Majority Leader for the last two years of the Obama presidency.

Meanwhile, I’m afraid the national media will continue to look the other way while Obama administration allies make ridiculous claims like "ObamaCare is working," or the IRS just "lost" emails targeting pro-limited government organizations or "the border is under control."

That’s why it’s up to you and me to fight back with everything we have.

I’m committed to stopping President Obama’s Big Government, tax-and-spend agenda.

Today, I believe the best way to do that is to hand Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid a pink slip.

I believe it’s up to you and me to elect a new principled Republican Senate Majority – one committed to fighting for our limited government beliefs – this November.

If you agree, please sign your "Harry Reid Pink Slip" right away.

Your signed "Pink Slip" will let me know you support RANDPAC’s critical efforts to fire Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader this election year.

And if you can, please chip in a contribution at once.

Even as I write you, RANDPAC staff is already busy putting the finishing touches on an all-out election year campaign I’d like to launch in the next few weeks, including:

>>> A hard-hitting mail and email mobilization effort in critical open-seat contests like Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and West Virginia. Open-seat contests are always volatile, and polls show many could go either way;

>>> Running Internet ads and working with local media to expose the radical views of Democrat candidates challenging sitting Republican senators in states like Kentucky;

>>> Cutting TV ads calling Democrat incumbents to the carpet for their pro-ObamaCare, pro-gun control, pro-big spending records in toss-up states like Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Minnesota, North Carolina and Virginia;

>>>> Paying for a last-minute campaign blitz, where I’ll criss-cross the country, personally traveling to toss-up states to help with Get-Out-The-Vote efforts for Republican Senate candidates.

This plan is incredibly ambitious, I know.

But I can only imagine what could happen if the New York Times is somehow right and our "Republican wave" is over.

Next year, President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the rest of the Democrats will be more emboldened than ever to push any number of outrageous schemes.

That means more spending, higher taxes, gun control and perhaps new Big Government boondoggles like Cap and Tax.

It’s up to you and me to stand up and stop this madness NOW!

If you agree, please sign Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s "Pink Slip" right away.

But please don’t stop there.

If you possibly can, please chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 right away.

As I mentioned, RANDPAC staff is now putting the finishing touches on our campaign plan for this fall. But the best-laid plans in the world are nothing more than words on paper without the money to put them into action.

So I’m counting on your action to help make 2014 a year to remember.

If you agree, please chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 right away.

Your support could make all the difference.

In Liberty,

Senator Rand Paul (R - KY)

P.S. Right now, campaigns all over the country are reaching a fever pitch. Polls in many of the most critical races show a dead heat.

Some are saying the idea of a Republican “wave election” like 2010 is all but dead!

I think they’re wrong. But I must be able to count on your support right away.

As you’ll see, I’ve included a special "Harry Reid Pink Slip." Please sign it right away and chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 to help me put RANDPAC’s election-year programs into action!

Make Harry Reid cry

From The Tea Party Patriots:

The mid-term elections are approaching fast. And to be prepared, we must raise $800,000 between now and Labor Day.

But why not have a little fun while we’re at it?!

Because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid despises the Tea Party so much, we’ve decided to name this historic fall campaign fundraising drive effort after HIM!!

Please, make an urgent generous contribution of $15, $25, $50, or whatever you can afford to our national “Make Harry Reid Cry” countdown to Labor Day $800,000 fundraising drive.

Between now and Election Day, we must educate voters on what is at stake in Washington. We need to explain to them that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his left-wing Democrats are helping Barack Obama destroy this country.

We need to put voter guides in the hands of every single conservative voter.

We must run massive phone banks to remind conservatives to vote.

The Tea Party must swing into action on a truly massive scale in the weeks leading up to this year’s elections!

Please donate whatever you can right now. And ask every conservative you know to do the same.

Harry Reid thinks he has Washington, D.C. in the palm of his hand. He thinks he can do whatever he wants.

He’s banking on ruling over a Senate next year that will let him pass amnesty, roll back our freedom of speech, empower the IRS, and force Obamacare down our throats!

But there’s one thing standing in his way: the Tea Party movement.

If we succeed in raising this $800,000, Harry Reid won’t know what to do with himself. He might even be brought to tears as he watches his liberal house of cards crumble.

We’re not sure what that would look like, but we imagine it would look something like the picture of Harry on our donation page.

As we get closer and closer to our goal, our cartoon Harry’s going to get more and more stressed. The tears will flow as our fundraising grows!

But even more importantly, if we can hit this $800,000 goal by the end of this month, we’ll have the money on hand to fund our national voter education campaign.

But, if we fail, we simply won’t have the resources we need for this fall. And the liberals will know it.

This year’s elections are critically important. And it is our duty to do everything we can to rally the American people against Washington’s big-government mess.

So please, help us kick off this massive campaign by making a generous donation right now.

As you know, Labor Day is the unofficial “start” of the fall campaign season. It is when voters really begin to pay attention to the issues.

We must raise this $800,000 by then!

Remember, the entire political world is monitoring our fundraising progress through our website.

It’s time to show them just how strong the Tea Party is.
