Help Senator Rand Paul sue the federal government

From Senator Rand Paul:

250,000 Americans in two days.

During my press conference yesterday, national media types couldn’t contain their surprise that so many Americans had already joined our class action lawsuit to STOP President Obama’s secret collection of BILLIONS of our phone records every day.

But the truth is, I need more signatures.

So won’t you please agree to take action IMMEDIATELY?

If you haven’t already done so, please sign your Joining Statement to join with me in this critical lawsuit.

If you have already signed it, can you please forward this email to as many friends and family members as you can?

I don’t think for a second suing the federal government to TAKE BACK our rights is going to be easy.

So I believe every new name increases our ability to win this crucial case.

And please understand this outright gutting of the Fourth Amendment is NOT a fight you and I can ignore.

This country fought a revolution over issues like generalized warrants where soldiers would go from house to house searching anything they liked.

Our lives are now so digitized that the government going from computer to computer or phone to phone is the modern equivalent of the same type of tyranny that our Founders rebelled against.

I know some of my colleagues here in Congress just roll their eyes.

They say you and I should “trust” this massive unconstitutional power grab won’t be abused.

How can we? This administration has an abysmal track record of abuse, lies, and cover ups, including;

***Twisting Senate rules to RAM through ObamaCare against the will of the vast majority of the American people;

***Misleading the American people over the Benghazi travesty;

***Using the IRS to target political enemies and Tea Party groups;

***Eavesdropping on reporters from the AP and Fox News who dared to criticize the administration.

What else are they hiding?

What new scandal will break next week?

How is the NSA’s massive unconstitutional domestic spying program already being abused?

With this administration’s track record, you and I can be virtually sure it is.

The national media wants to turn the focus of this outrageous program to the whistleblower.

But as Rush Limbaugh rightly said recently, the real danger isn’t Edward Snowden.

The real danger is allowing our federal government to go out of control and GUT our Constitution.

The potential for abuse with these staggering new NSA powers is literally mind-boggling.

Using this effort to start picking out political enemies would be a cinch.

Gathering secret business information to hand to crony capitalist pals or insider investors on Wall Street would be easy.

Once they can track and register every bank card purchase, every email, every phone call, every Internet “click” of every American, can what will be left of our lives really be called “free?”

My friend, without so much as a vote in Congress, the national gun registry so many Americans rightly fear will already be built – along with a national databank of everything else about our lives.

Is this the Orwellian America you and I want to leave to our children?

If the answer is no, please sign your Joining Statement IMMEDIATELY.

If you have already signed, please forward this to every friend and family member you have.

I’m working feverishly to reach as many as possible using email, Internet ads, phones and mail.

But to keep such a massive program up, I simply must be able to count on your support.

My friend, I still believe the birthright of every American is the freedom and liberty our Founders have passed down to us.

That birthright is in danger today. Our Constitution is being ignored by BOTH parties.

I decided to run for office because I wanted to do everything possible to turn our country around.

Today, I’m asking you to stand with me.

In liberty,signed
Senator Rand Paul

P.S. A quarter of a million Americans have signed up to join my lawsuit to sue the federal government to TAKE BACK our rights.

But the truth is, I need more signatures.

If you haven’t already done so, please sign your Joining Statement to join with me in this critical lawsuit.

If you have already signed it, can you please forward this email to as many friends and family members as you can?

Rand Paul video on NSA

Last night, I appeared on The Sean Hannity Show to discuss President Obama's NSA eavesdropping on billions of emails and phone calls of Americans citizens every day.

I've included the video below for you, which you can watch by scrolling down . . .

But as I explained last night, this country fought a revolution over issues like generalized warrants, where soldiers would go from house to house, searching anything they liked.

Our lives are now so digitized that the government going from computer to computer or phone to phone is the modern equivalent of the same type of tyranny that our Founders rebelled against.

Today, there's a new rebellion in this country designed to restore the very freedoms our Founders fought for. Will you be a part of it?

Right now, I'm asking Internet providers and phone companies to join me in a class-action lawsuit to STOP the eavesdropping, cataloguing and storing of emails, phone calls and Internet activity of every American citizen.

But I'm counting on you to "Stand With Rand" today, as well. You can do so by signing your Joining Statement to join my critical lawsuit..

I believe every name we can add to this lawsuit increases our chances of winning, so you're help is critical.

I believe it's time for you and me to stand up and say "NO MORE!" to the destruction of our constitutional freedoms, as I explained in this brief video.

My friend, if this is the new normal in America, then Big Brother certainly is watching us.

Our Fourth Amendment rights are being destroyed.

And it's only a matter of time to the rest of Constitutional freedoms you and I so deeply cherish are gutted, as well.

Please sign your Joining Statement today.

Help me FIGHT BACK.

In liberty,signed

Rand Paul U.S. Senator

P.S. Last night I appeared on the Sean Hannity Show to discuss Obama's NSA and their blatant disregard for the Fourth Amendment when they collected billions of emails and phone records of innocent Americans.

We don't need nor want Big Brother to keep tabs on us in the name of "security."

Join Senator Rand Paul's class action lawsuit against the NSA and other governmental agencies

I'm looking for ten million Americans to stand with me and sue the federal government and TAKE BACK our rights.

Can I count on your help?

Without it, I truly fear where our fragile Republic could be headed . . .

Just in the past few days, you and I have learned Obama's NSA is looking through the phone records and emails of a billion Americans every day!

So yesterday morning, in an interview on Fox News, I announced I would be asking Internet providers and phone companies to join me in a class-action lawsuit to STOP this madness.

But my friend, today I'm counting on your support, as well.

As you'll see, I've made up a Joining Statement for you to join my class-action lawsuit, and I'm counting on you to sign it IMMEDIATELY.

You see, I believe this is an absolutely critical and defining moment . . .

My hope is, it will be remembered for decades as the moment the American people stood up to their government and demanded our liberties be respected.

But I fear, without your help, it could be the moment the American people quietly shrank from a fight and gave their last bit of approval over for government-run lives.

I know there are those who argue Americans must give up every last one of their liberties to win our country's ongoing fight against terrorism.

"Trust us," they say.

I also know their promises of safety can be tantalizing.

But today we know President Obama's IRS routinely targeted his political opponents and grassroots conservatives.

The Justice Department targeted reporters and their families for wiretapping and harassment for daring to criticize the administration.

We see the Obama administration covering up Benghazi then tapping Susan Rice -- who helped mislead the American people in the wake of that outrage -- for a promotion.

My friend, "trust us" is out the window.

And even if our rulers were angels -- and you and I had nothing to fear from an overbearing and intrusive government -- it doesn't even work.

One of my colleagues, defending this massive program, stated the recent Boston bombing proved why we need programs like this.

Actually, it proves quite the opposite.

Instead of acting on real intelligence warnings from at least one other nation about the dangers the Tsarnaev's posed, they were too busy secretly sifting through the phone and email records of hundreds of millions of Americans.

Instead of unreasonably targeting every American into a target for spying, they should be focusing on only the truly dangerous.

What's truly dangerous is if you and I allow this to go on.

How long until these spying capabilities suffer some "mission creep" and they start using the GPS feature in your phone to track whether or not you go to gun shows?

What if you go to the "wrong" church? Or read emails from or attend the rallies of the "wrong" candidate.

What if you go to McDonalds a little "too much?"

How long until Big Brother tries to "fix" you?

My friend, that's why your action today is so critical.

As I mentioned, I've made up a Joining Statement so you can join the lawsuit, and I'm counting on you to sign it IMMEDIATELY.

If you can, I hope you'll forward it to as many friends and family members as you can.

Go ahead and forward it to the uncle or cousin you always get in arguments with at Thanksgiving, as well.

This isn't a partisan issue. It's an American one.

And if you and I care at all about the future of our Republic, we need as many folks to stand up and fight back as possible.

I believe each new name joining in this lawsuit increases the likelihood of ultimate victory.

By joining my class-action lawsuit, you can help stop the government's outrageous spying program on the American people.

I'm asking phone companies and Internet service providers to enlist their customers, as well.

I believe we can win this. As I mentioned yesterday, I'm prepared to take this all the way to the Supreme Court.

If we can get tens of millions of Americans behind this effort, I believe we can win.

But I can't do that without your help.

So please sign your Joining Statement to join my lawsuit IMMEDIATELY.

With your support, I'll immediately begin mobilizing Americans from all over the country to this fight.

But to do that, I'll have to pull out all the stops -- and not just with email, Internet ads and social networking.

I'll have to use mail, phones and perhaps even radio and TV to get my message out, as well.

But it's critical. It's an absolutely critical one for the survival of our Republic.

So please sign your Joining Statement and thanks so much for your support.

In liberty,

Senator Rand Paul
