Tell Congress to save Net Neutrality

Free Press Action Fund:

Negotiations are going down to the wire on a must-pass budget bill. Some members of Congress continue to talk about sneaking in so-called "riders" that could threaten the survival of Net Neutrality.

These negotiations are going on at the highest levels of Congress. While the conversations are taking place behind closed doors, the reporters covering the bargaining process say that anti-Net Neutrality riders are still on the table. These riders would flat out prevent the FCC from enforcing the Net Neutrality rules.

Congressional leaders need to hear from you TODAY: Tell them that the open Internet shouldn’t be up for negotiation.

After passing a short extension Friday, Congress is now scrambling to bring a massive spending bill to the floor this week to avoid another government shutdown. Once this bill hits the floor there likely won’t be any time for open debate on these dangerous riders. Leadership needs to hear from you NOW.

We’ve won this same fight before. Just last summer some longtime anti-Net Neutrality members of Congress tried to sneak the same bad language into government-funding bills. Thanks to the enormous 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 heats up before the imminent deadline.

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

Nearly 4 million Americans urged the FCC to protect Net Neutrality. Congress must not undermine this historic win by sneaking bad language into a must-pass spending bill.

This stops now.

Thanks for all that you do—

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 everyone who supports Net Neutrality!

"Top Clinton Fundraiser Joins Obama Super PAC." -- Political Wire

I don't have much time to explain...but the headline above is buzzing all around the internet, even as I type you this email.

This means Hillary Clinton's national finance director from 2008 and one of the Democratic Party's biggest names in fundraising is set to join the leading super PAC who got behind President Obama last year. That same PAC is now positioning itself for Hillary Clinton's upcoming White House bid.

What this means for you and me: our job of defeating Hillary Clinton's bid for the presidency just got a lot harder.

Please, will you make an IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY contribution to send a loud message to the Clinton forces? The American people WILL stand up to the Clintons no matter how much money their deep-pocket fundraisers bring in!

Please, click here to make an emergency contribution. Whether its $5 or $500, you will send a strong message to Hillary Clinton that we are here to fight her campaign every step of the way.

Thank you for your support,

Sincerely,

Help destroy big labor's stranglehold on America

From The National Right To Work Committee:

Big Labor knows what's at stake.

Since the reelection of Barack Obama in 2012, the union bosses are more emboldened than ever. They enjoy unprecedented access to the White House and control over the federal bureaucracy.

Many of the forced-dues power grabs they were unable to ram through Congress have been achieved through bureaucratic fiat; while at the same time forced-dues advocates like Harry Reid have so-far blocked a vote on our National Right to Work Act time and time again.

But the union bosses and their allies know the political winds are changing.

With Indiana and Michigan becoming the 23rd and 24th Right to Work States, Big Labor has seen their stranglehold weaken.

And make no mistake, the union bosses will do everything in their power to push back.

With Obama as President and Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader, you can be all but certain Big Labor will go after those who oppose forced unionism.

The good news is you and I can fight back against Big Labor’s forced-dues leviathan.

Time is short -- so it's vital you act today.

You see, as it stands, the National Right to Work Act has 103 cosponsors in the House and 16 in the Senate.

But that simply isn’t enough.

That’s why your Committee’s state and national staffs have been working tirelessly on a Cosponsor Push plan to generate the massive grassroots pressure we’ll need to add an additional 24 cosponsors.

This tidal wave of grassroots pressure will allow us to expose the union bosses’ puppet politicians and their stranglehold on American workers.

This plan will allow us to contact the three out of four Americans who think it’s just plain wrong to force workers to pay tribute to union officials as a condition of employment.

And this effort will allow us to tell Americans just how much of Big Labor’s cash -- seized from workers’ paychecks -- is funneled backdoor into buying elections for Big Labors pet candidates.

But none of that will matter if we cannot raise the funds necessary to fully put our plan into action.

My staff has calculated that it will take at least an additional $150,000 to fully implement the Committee's plan of attack.

In order to put this plan into action, however, the National Right to Work Committee must raise every penny of it by December 17.

And I’m counting on you to help reach our goal.

But before you decide, please understand what’s at stake.

Federal law permits big Labor to confiscate over $9 BILLION from American workers every year just to keep a job.

And in return, Big Labor’s political machine spends billions of that money into electing pro-forced-dues politicians who will bow down to the union bosses’ demands.

Right now, union bosses and their cronies in Washington are mapping out the 2014 election cycle -- pinpointing the states and districts they want to control.

They have vowed to use their forced-dues warchest to maintain their iron grip of the Senate and keep a democrat in the White House, while most Members of Congress cringe in fear.

That’s why it’s vital you be a part of this historic effort urging your Senators and Congressman to cosponsor this piece of legislation.

This grassroots effort will allow us to force a recorded vote in the Senate and know just which Senators actually oppose Big Labor’s stranglehold on American workers.

The union bosses believe their forced-dues billions could make the difference in these races -- and I'm afraid they may be right unless you act today.

The good news is your Committee’s four-part Cosponsor Push plan can derail Big Labor’s scheme. With 100% funding, the Committee's plan will:

*** Contact directly by mail and email up to 15 million opponents of forced unionism to urge them they contact their Senators and demand they vote to end forced-unionism;

*** Run newspaper and TV ads, like the one attached, coast to coast, exposing Big Labor’s cronies to the nearly 80% of Americans who oppose forced unionism;

*** Personally brief hundreds of favorable columnists, radio talk show hosts and editorial writers nationwide who can help mobilize public opinion; and

*** Facebook, Google and internet ads, designed to target specific zip codes and households to really turn up the heat.

But none of it will be possible if the National Right to Work Committee does not raise the funds in time to get 24 new cosponsors added to the National Right to Work Act.

You and I both know from experience that Right to Work supporters can make the difference this year and beat back the forced-dues assault of the Big Labor bosses.

But not without the help of good folks like you.

We must raise at least an additional $150,000 to fully implement our plan.


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

If $25 is simply too much to ask, then I hope you'll consider a contribution of $15 or $10.

I'm afraid if I don't receive an immediate influx of financial support, I won't be able to implement this aggressive plan to beat back the union bosses’ assault.

Please don't wait to give your contribution. The Committee must have your donation by December 17 in order to properly budget expenses for this Cosponsor Push.

If that doesn't happen, our battleplan to get the National Right to Work Act on the Senate floor for a vote could end up stale.

That means Big Labor’s forced-dues BILLIONS may just allow the union bosses’ hand-picked candidates to gain steam and put a screeching halt to all the work we’ve put in to freeing American workers.

That’s why it’s vital you chip in your most generous contribution of $25, $15 or $10 today.

If you and I can mobilize Right to Work supporters across the country to turn up the heat on the politicians to cosponsor a National Right to Work Act, we can derail Big Labor’s forced-dues agenda.

But this may not happen without your help.

So please give your most generous contribution RIGHT AWAY by clicking here.

Funds the Committee receives now will determine how much of our program can be put into action.

My best staffers have estimated it will take at least an additional $150,000 to maximize effectiveness.

And we must have it by December 17. After that it could be too late to book hard-hitting ad spots or mail millions of informative letters.

Can you make a commitment right now, to help us get a vote on the National Right to Work Act?

Since most Americans agree with you and me that forced unionism is wrong, we can derail Big Labor's election schemes if you help me sound the alarm on time.

Our ads will run in targeted States all across the country if funds permit, to shine the spotlight of public opinion on Big Labor’s puppet politicians.

So please, I urge you to chip in your most generous contribution of $25, $15 or $10 to help put the Committee’s plan into action.

Big Labor’s schemes are funded by coercion dictated by the political elite and special interests.

They've wrung millions in forced-dues from their captive membership.

And unless brave Americans like you stand up to them and give generously right now, Big Labor will steamroll through future elections, supporting their big-government cronies, unopposed.

With Obama in the midst of his final term, and control of the U.S. Senate up for grabs, I am counting on you to once again join in this fight.

Election Day is just weeks away. Please act IMMEDIATELY.


Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. Your Committee’s state and national staffs have been working tirelessly on a Cosponsor Push plan to generate the massive grassroots pressure we’ll need to add an additional 24 cosponsors for a National Right to Work Act.

Sign petition to defund Obamacare

From Rand2016:

Three years.

That’s how long President Obama and his administration had to get his “signature" ObamaCare law ready for “prime time."

Apparently, three years wasn’t enough.

On the Sunday shows over the weekend, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew refused to answer questions about how many people were actually signing up in ObamaCare’s health exchanges.

On Monday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney once again dodged questions.

You’d think the Obama administration would be chomping at the bit to brag about the American public’s mad rush to sign up.

But the truth is, that isn’t happening.

The ObamaCare website just flat-out doesn’t work.

The Wall Street Journal reports that according to IT experts who have reviewed the website, “the site appeared to be built on a sloppy software foundation."

As users try to create accounts, the website crashes.

Answers to security questions, used to confirm identities of people who sign up, were missing from drop-down boxes.

After that problem was resolved, the website still couldn't process applications!

One retiree became so fed up with the ObamaCare website, he called in to talk to an ObamaCare customer service representative – only to find out she was unable help him because she couldn’t work with the website either.

Even in states that have set up their own exchanges, there’s hardly a stampede of interest.

Only 326 people in Maryland have signed up.

Does this increase your confidence in our federal government’s ability to run 1/6th of the American economy?

Of course not.

That's why I hope you'll sign your NO FUNDING FOR OBAMACARE Petition right away.

And after you sign your petition, please make a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 or even $35.

If that is too much for you to afford, please chip in a contribution of $25 or $10 to help me mobilize the grassroots to encourage Republicans to stand strong against President Obama's attempts to bully Republicans into funding ObamaCare.

Sadly, I’m afraid all of this pales in comparison to the steep economic costs you and I are going to end up paying.

For months now, you and I have heard horror stories of dramatically rising insurance premiums and companies laying off workers and cutting hours “thanks" to ObamaCare.

Now, news reports all over the country are reporting that families are being notified their existing insurance is being cancelled.

They can renew – just at dramatically higher premiums.

Today, our nation is approaching $17 TRILLION in debt. ObamaCare alone is expected to add $2.6 TRILLION over the next ten years in money we simply don’t have.

So what is it we’re getting for all of the increased cost?

Judging from the past week-and-a-half, it seems like a giant mess.

Yet President Obama is still refusing to negotiate?

He’s refusing to lift a finger to stop the economic train wreck resulting from his “signature" healthcare bill?

Even Jon Stewart of Comedy Central – hardly a died-in-the-wool conservative – recently grilled Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius over the fact the Obama administration issued a waiver delaying the employer mandate, but won’t allow so much as a conversation about the individual mandate.

This is outrageous.

As a physician, I can tell you one of the fundamental principles of medicine is first, "do no harm."

I’ve always done whatever I could to follow that principle in my medical practice.

If you agree our federal government should start thinking about following it, as well, I hope you'll sign your NO FUNDING FOR OBAMACARE Petition right away.

And if you can, please agree to a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50, or $35.

If that is too much, please chip in a contribution of $25 or $10.

Your generosity will help me turn the American people's overwhelming opposition to ObamaCare into an overwhelming political FORCE Washington, D.C. can't ignore.

Through petitions, phone calls, emails, and more, you and I can put enough grassroots pressure on Congress to force my colleagues to take up the fight to defund ObamaCare.

But I'm counting on you to take action IMMEDIATELY.

So please sign your NO FUNDING FOR OBAMACARE Petition.

And if you can, please agree to a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50, $35 – or even $10 or $20 – TODAY.

In Liberty,

Senator Rand Paul

P.S. Glitches, layoffs, cut hours, higher premiums . . .

ObamaCare is expected to cost $2.6 TRILLION over the next ten years, and this is what we’re paying for?

If you agree ObamaCare is an economic train wreck, I hope you will sign your NO FUNDING FOR OBAMACARE petition right away.

And after you sign your petition, please make a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50, $35 - or even chip in a contribution of $25 or $10 - to help me lead the fight against ObamaCare.

Stop Terry McAuliffe

From Stop Hillary PAC:

We've got a problem.

If we don't act immediately, in just a few weeks time Hillary will have won her first major victory of the 2016 race for the White House, and there won't be a thing we can do about it.

Hillary Clinton's close friend and top political ally, Terry McAuliffe, is running for Governor of Virginia and a poll conducted this week shows the race tied.

Here's why this is important: Clinton is using this race to strengthen her grip over this key 2016 battleground state by installing her most loyal henchman as governor. She needs Virginia to steal her way into the White House and she's making her move now, while nobody is watching.

Terry McAuliffe must be defeated at all costs -- and we urge you take immediate action to defeat this major Clinton ally. Click here right now to make an immediate contribution to stop Clinton henchman Terry McAuliffe.

We have reports from operatives in the state that aides who will be key to Hillary's presidential campaign are on the ground right now working for Terry McAuliffe's campaign. We also know that Hillary has visited Virginia in support of McAuliffe -- and even hosted an exclusive fundraiser in her multi-million dollar Washington, D.C., mansion to raise money for McAuliffe from her network of rich, connected, and powerful Democrats inside the beltway.

If you need any proof as to what went on at Hillary's house....just look at who was spotted entering the insider's only event: James Carville, Paul Begala, Huma Abedin, and John Podesta. Add in Hillary and Terry McAuliffe, and the entire Clinton inner circle was gathered for this event. They might as well have just called it a Hillary for President campaign meeting!

James Carville talked to reporters on the way out of event saying: "Oh, it was exciting. It was thrilling. It was everything you could ever hope for and more."

I don't think he was talking about Terry McAuliffe's candidacy - I think he was talking about Hillary's.

Please make an immediate contribution right now to stop Clinton henchmen Terry McAuliffe.

If we're serious about stopping Hillary than we need to be dead serious about doing everything that it takes. Terry McAuliffe winning will be seen as a major victory for Hillary Clinton.

Now it's more clear than ever...our first major battle of the 2016 campaign against Hillary is underway right now in Virginia and we have just weeks to turn the tide.

Please, take immediate action right now to ensure we hand Hillary an immediate political defeat.

Sincerely,

Senator Ted Harvey (R)

PS: A poll conducted this week shows the Virginia governor's race as tied. If we don't act immediately, in just a few weeks time Hillary will have won her first major victory of her 2016 presidential campaign and there won't be a thing we can do about it. Please Ray, make an immediate contribution right now to stop Clinton henchmen Terry McAuliffe.

If you live in Virginia or are registered to vote in Virginia and the thought of Terry McAuliffe as Governor makes you violently ill you may want to support the GOP candidate for governor Ken Cuccinelli. A vote for McAuliffe will help Hillary and her candidacy. OTOH a vote for Cuccinelli will hurt Hillary and her candidacy. Which one appeals to you? If you said the latter you are in the right place. Let's do this.

Fighting Obama's New Amerika

From Campaign For Liberty:

Overview

The Washington, D.C. establishment and their mouthpieces in the national media are circling the wagons.

Their "take" on this scandal couldn't be any clearer.

Immediately following the disclosure of the radical, unconstitutional spying power Obama's NSA now claims for itself, Edward Snowden was initially called a whistleblower.

In the days following, the media shifted to calling him a "leaker."

Time Magazine's June 24 cover features Snowden, along with the title "The Informers: Why a New Generation of Hactivists is Driven to Spill the Government's Secrets."

The fix is in.

The real traitors aren't those who swear to uphold our Constitution and then work to GUT it, it's those who oppose and expose these unconstitutional schemes!

Instead of focusing on the real and utterly horrific issues surrounding the NSA's spying program, the national media is smearing the whistleblower as "a high school dropout," among other things.

Then, the U.S. House held a laughable hearing entitled, "How Disclosed NSA Programs Protect Americans, and Why Disclosure Aids Our Adversaries."

After the hearing - and all the "official" propaganda meant to sooth the angry American public had been issued - NSA Director Keith Alexander told the FBI deputy director, "Tell your boss I owe him another friggin' beer" to say thanks for the cover up.

But despite the establishment's best efforts - and the effective ridiculing of their opposition - polls show a clear majority of Americans oppose this madness.

But who knows how long that will last without an all-out C4L effort similar to what was used to drag the Federal Reserve out of the shadows and into the forefront of American politics?

Below is an overview of exactly what's at stake - along with my recommendation of what must be done.

Obviously, with all the other battles C4L has taken on, including the National ID fight - which is tied into this spying scandal - the Internet Sales Tax, and the growing threat of gun control coming back before the U.S. Congress, any effort to force Congress to do its JOB and rein in the NSA will require us to ask our members to give $30, $20, or $10.

But I don't see any way around this.

Our Constitution is being destroyed in ways thought unimaginable just a few years ago.

The most effective and terrifying police state in world history is being set up all around us.

Already, our federal government claims the right to indefinitely detain and even assassinate American citizens at will.

Only after Rand's 13-hour filibuster did the Obama administration promise not to assassinate Americans on American soil with drones.

But then, just a few days ago, the FBI admitted it uses drones to spy on Americans.

How long until they're armed?

This is simply not a fight we can afford to ignore - and one which C4L members must rush to support.

NSA Spying Program

"Metadata."

It's a word American citizens have had to rush to understand in recent weeks since the NSA's spying scheme broke.

In its most simplistic terms, metadata is a cluster of data - for example, all emails, Internet clicks, phone calls, texts, GPS signal locations, etc....

The NSA is busy collecting ALL of the metadata from every single American.

According to news reports, this amounted to three BILLION pieces of information from U.S. computer networks in March 2013 - to say nothing of 61,000 hacking operations globally.

To store all the data, the NSA is completing a new one million square foot data center in Utah - bigger than the size of over 17 football fields.

In 2010, according to The Washington Post, the number of Americans with "top secret" clearances stood at 854,000.

Today, it's doubled to 1.5 million.

The national security state is exploding all around us.

Every phone call, every text, every email, and who knows what else from every American citizen all now reside in government's hands.

And earlier this month, former CIA Director David Petraeus bragged that common household items - like dishwashers - contained "troves" of data they could use for spying.

Nothing is off limits to the government snoops' "metadata" gathering.

Of course, the purported purpose is "security" and fighting back against foreign and domestic "terror cells."

After all, the most hallowed excuses are always reserved for the most egregious assaults on our liberties.

Yet, this massive dragnet of a program couldn't stop the Boston bombers, even when our own government was warned by overseas governments.

Communication among government agencies remains a mess.

And as Dr. Paul has pointed out time and again over the years, our borders are left wide open, and no serious effort to control them is seriously considered in Congress even for a second.

Any objective person can clearly see government's real targets are American citizens.

Their real enemy is freedom.

Their goal is to track, trace, and register our every move - and set the stage for the further regulation and CONTROL of OUR lives.

The Danger

"I'm not doing anything wrong, so I don't have anything to worry about."

Oh, yes you do.

How any American could say that with a straight face in recent weeks after learning about the IRS' targeting of Tea Party organizations and the wiretapping of reporters is beyond me.

The truth is, there is much to fear.

People aren't saints.

Neither are government politicians and bureaucrats - which is why the Founders crafted the Fourth Amendment.

If people would not trust their family and friends with the radical powers the Obama administration and the statists in BOTH parties now claim for themselves, how does any American think it's ok to trust the jokers we see in Washington, D.C. today?

Metadata in itself is enough to provide the federal government with a host of information about us, including:

***Religious beliefs.

Under the NSA's spying program, they'll know if you go to church every Sunday, if you send your children to Vacation Bible School - all of your personal religious beliefs.

How long before they use this information to tell us what God we are allowed to worship? What church we are allowed to attend? What we are allowed to teach our children?

***Political beliefs.

Should President Obama wish to wholesale target American citizens with pro-limited government political beliefs, what better way than to compile a list of those who frequent certain political websites, attend political rallies and events, or even sign a petition? Buy "too many" pro-liberty books, and you may become a target for surveillance;

***Gun ownership.

Does President Obama really need a national gun registry if he can register all our Internet activity, phone calls, purchases, and travel? This radical NSA power grab is designed to give the federal government virtually any power they want; ***Personal relationships.

If they see we've called a hospital or doctor, visited a funeral home, or have frequently called close family and friends, they'll certainly know we're experiencing a heart-wrenching crisis.

How long until a special visit to a government psychiatrist under ObamaCare is mandated? How long until special drugs are required so we don't "crack"?

Of course, all of this is just touching the surface.

One news report claims that metadata relationships were how the FBI discovered the relationship between former CIA Director David Petraeus and his mistress, Paula Broadwell.

Petraeus remained silent about the Benghazi scandal and didn't resign until after the 2012 elections.

Could he have been a target of blackmail?

Could other public officials find themselves targets of similar government-initiated smears or blackmail campaigns?

Could more Americans, even those outside of government, find themselves pressured for fear of having embarrassing incidents, long in their past, exposed?

And should the statists' National ID scheme pass - part of the so-called "Immigration Reform" Bill - all of this data could suddenly become linked to a massive national database federal bureaucrats could access with the click of a mouse.

What if a power-hungry President simply wants to seize NSA metadata records to more effectively target voters for a reelection campaign?

Could we be looking at a permanent President?

Of course, that would be unconstitutional under the 22nd amendment.

Just like this eavesdropping program is unconstitutional under the 4th.

Past Government Abuse

Sound far-fetched?

It's not.

The federal government has already been caught red-handed abusing this kind of power.

In fact, the FBI created a massive dossier on one million American citizens from 1960-1974.

President Nixon attempted to use the CIA to cover up the Watergate break in.

In 2008, news broke that the NSA routinely eavesdropped on troops' personal phone calls - and "pillow talk," "phone sex," and other conversations with "entertainment value" were shared for laughs between government operators according to an NBC news report.

One study shows that every President from FDR to Nixon allowed and encouraged government agencies to handle purely political intelligence.

Add Obama to the list.

One CBS News reporter who dared to report on the Fast and Furious scandal and Benghazi in the days leading up to the 2012 elections had her computer repeatedly hacked by an "unauthorized" (likely government) source.

According to Russ Tice, former intelligence analyst during the Bush Administration, the abuse is far more widespread.

In a recent interview, he told how government snoops "went after high-ranking military officers; they went after members of Congress, both Senate and the House, especially on the intelligence committees and on the armed services committees and some of the-and [sic] judicial committees."

But that's not all.

Tice stated they went after private citizens - "heaps of lawyers and law firms."

Tice claims he had the wiretap information in his hands of a Supreme Court judge, two FISA court judges, and State Department officials.

Does anyone seriously believe these people were potential "terrorist threats?"

Of course not.

Government officials just saying "trust us" doesn't cut it.

NSA Director James Clapper told Congress "No, sir" when asked if his agency collected any data on American citizens.

He "misled" or "obscured the truth" with his statement, as President Obama's government officials are doing right now.

Regular American citizens would call it a blatant LIE.

The TRUTH is this NSA spying authority is more power than a good government should want - and more power than a bad government should have.

Today, our federal government has the tools the East German "Stasi" - the secret police of decades past - would have salivated over.

Back then, our federal government decried those tactics as Orwellian.

Now, it's adopting them at an alarming rate.

The calendar might say 2013. But it is truly 1984.

The Solution

Stripping away power from statist politicians so intent on amassing it won't be easy.

But C4L has done it before.

Just a few years ago, the Federal Reserve was hardly a blip on Americans' radar screen.

Today, Audit the Fed is a dominant issue in American politics thanks to Ron Paul and Campaign for Liberty's efforts.

The Fed's control of our economy cannot be ignored. But neither can the federal government's attempt to control our lives.

As I mentioned, public opinion is on our side.

Americans don't want to be spied on by their own government (go figure).

Political experts are discussing the American public's lack of "trust" in their lawless government.

A sudden, massive outpouring of opposition to this NSA spying scheme - like only C4L can generate - could be enough to get the statists to back off this program.

Permanently gutting domestic spying programs will likely have to include a massive four-pronged program, including:

***Exposing the entire NSA program.

You and I must first expose the truth about the NSA's program to the American people - every bit of it. The hearings held in Congress are nothing but statist propaganda. The American people MUST have a full account and know exactly how massive the NSA's program really is;

***Supporting Senator Rand Paul's Class Action lawsuit.

Senator Rand Paul filed a class action lawsuit designed to take the legality of the NSA's spying program all the way to the United States Supreme Court. So far, over 250,000 Americans have signed on to his lawsuit against the federal government, with hundreds of thousands more expected to join in the coming weeks;

***Supporting Senator Rand Paul's Fourth Amendment Restoration Act.

If passed, Senator Paul's legislation would protect American citizens against Barack Obama's surveillance state by guaranteeing Fourth Amendment protections for our electric communications and requiring FISA courts to grant specific warrants in order for government agents to access the information.

***Repealing the Patriot Act.

Congressman Sensenbrenner, the author of the so-called "PATRIOT Act," claims he never envisioned the scheme to be used this way, even despite Dr. Paul's warnings. Let's demand they REPEAL IT.

Winning any one of these fights could strike a death blow to ALL domestic spying efforts.

The good news is, thanks to our mobilization efforts on these issues already, we have a real shot at winning these battles.

Already, we've mobilized a few hundred thousand Americans to turn up the heat on their representatives to stand up and defend our Fourth Amendment freedoms.

But we need to massively add to these numbers if we're going to dismantle their spy state.

Considering the massive nature of the fight we face, a comprehensive program could cost as much as $6 million.

I know that's a lot of money, but I'm confident if we can raise the resources, we can stop government bureaucrats from spying on the American people.

Using emails, as well as targeted Internet, Facebook, and Google banners, we should be able to reach about 16 million Americans.

This effort alone would mobilize up to half a million more Americans to get involved in this fight.

And if funds permit, we can reach another 10 million folks using TV, radio, and newspaper ads.

Of course, such a massive program like this isn't cheap - nor easy.

But it must be done.

This fight is too important to sit on the sidelines.

Our nation's future depends on it.

From Public Advocate:

It's hard to write you this.

My office is in trouble. And I need your help.

I have been working overtime fighting against the radical Homosexual Lobby.

Today, I'm worried.

Despite passing Thought Control and repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the radical Homosexual Lobby is drooling for more in the new Congress.

So along with a new Congress, they have adopted new tactics.

I see well-known agents of the radical Homosexual Lobby everywhere. They are huddled in dark corners scheming and plotting. They meet secretly with newly elected members of Congress in hopes of tempting them to advance their perverse agenda with campaign cash and the promise of votes.

This, in spite of the fact that the Republican majority in the House was preserved in large part by pro-Family Americans turning out to the polls in record numbers.

Together, we beat the Gay Bill of Special Rights and Homosexual Classrooms Act in 2012, but we had to spend everything to do it.

The Homosexual Lobby knows this, and they know as well as you or I that if we can't finance ourselves, we won't be able to stand up to them in the future.

We haven't seen the last of the Gay Bill of Special Rights either. Mark my words.

And the new Congress brings greater threats than ever before, I am in trouble...

This is a painful email for me to write.

For the first time ever, I feel as if my pro-Family supporters are letting me down.

I have prayed about this matter. I am sure that I am doing what is right.

It is our duty as decent God-believing adults to fight against the tyranny and immorality of the radical Homosexual Lobby. But many good Christian supporters aren't coming through.

It seems a lot of people believe all our problems are hopeless because the last election left Obama and pro-homosexual cohorts in charge of the White House and Senate. And many pro-Family leaders are compromising or just plain worn out, and they want to quit.

I cannot believe it! That'd be like surrendering after Pearl Harbor!

And lately, many of my best supporters haven't been able to help like they used to...

In fact, money is so tight here that I have had to scale back important pro-Family campaigns.

Critical petition drives, grassroots lobbying campaigns, and citizen outreach programs may be closed down.

And as the radical homosexuals have gained almost complete control in Congress, my hands are tied...

At times, life here in Washington has been a virtual hell for me...

I will not forget the past.

I've faced the blinding hatred of the radical homosexuals.

Radical homosexuals have distributed hate flyers giving out my address and telephone number and urging sick and disgusting calls by homosexuals to harass my family.

Newspapers even print this "Hate the Delgaudio Family" material.

I've received "crank" phone calls... even death threats!

Years ago, after a man in a black car was caught taking photographs of my children, I had to call in police protection for them.

One time a dead dog was left in my yard. What kind of people would do this?

I was once even forced to send Sheila and the children into hiding for a short time.

Some in the news media routinely promote or allow printed attacks on my wife, my children or me.

The Homosexual Lobby even broadcasted our private home address to their network of radical and dangerous agents.

They are safe now... There is no precaution that I will not take to protect my wife and precious children.

Sometimes, I am afraid that without your support, I too will be forced to give in to the radical Homosexual Lobby and stop fighting against their perverted agenda.

That's why I need to ask you today to seriously consider making an emergency contribution to Public Advocate. Even a donation of $25 or $50 would make a huge difference.

My friends, I am tired.

My health is suffering under the strain of fighting the radical Homosexual Lobby with limited help. I can't eat, I can't sleep and I am sick with worry.

Many nights I stay up and worry -- worry about my family, worry about Public Advocate's future, worry about the future of the American Family and morality.

I have fought on, but I desperately need your help right now. Please don't let me down.

Last year's fights have put my office tens of thousands of dollars over budget.

Every day, it seems, it gets harder and harder to raise the money to keep our campaigns going.

I'm expected to expand programs to stop liberals in Congress from allowing homosexuals to run rampant over our country...

The Gay Bill of Special Rights is at the top of the agenda for pro-homosexual congressmen this year.

Last time the Gay Bill of Special Rights came up, only an outpouring of support by members like you allowed us to stall the vote in the House and buy us the time we needed to rally our troops.

If this immoral bill passes, it will mean pro-homosexual hiring quotas in workplaces throughout the nation. It will also make it nearly impossible for employers to deal with unsatisfactory employees who are radical homosexuals.

President Barack Obama has vowed to use his power to pass pro-homosexual legislation as quickly as possible.

And the attitude of the Oval Office is only likely to get worse as President Barack Obama seeks new ways to reward his radical homosexual allies for the crucial role they played in his re-election.

There is no chance of Presidential opposition. We need to stop the Gay Bill of Special Rights ourselves, now!

Please Click Here to chip in.

This means we are going to have to work twice as hard and spend ten times more money in order to stop the bill in Congress.

Money that your Public Advocate doesn't have as I write this email.

Donations to my office are not keeping up with the need.

I am in a dilemma like I've never been in before.

You see, my office does not receive any tax funds for its important campaigns.

And while the radical Homosexual Lobby is bilking the U.S. Treasury for billions of dollars, I raise every dime of my office's budget from concerned citizens like you.

I can't fight on without your help. And right now, at what may be a turning point in our fight against the forces of evil, I don't have the funds to fight on.

What can I do?

I must ask you to keep the information I am about to give you confidential.

If it gets into the hands of the Homosexual Lobby, they will use it to destroy me while we are weak:

My office owes $116,333.38 to Larry and other small businessmen in Virginia.

I hope you don't think badly of me. Some of this is past due. It's not a major crisis for the small businessmen or me. Not yet.

You see, I really don't have a choice.

How could I have said "no" when I was needed to counter massive Homosexual lobbying campaigns?

Could I have stood by and watched as radical Homosexuals spread lies and deceit about their true goals?

Who else would have exposed the truth about the "gay" agenda?

Without a serious recommitment on the part of pro-Family Americans like you, I'm not sure how much longer Public Advocate can keep up the fight.

Will you help now?

These people admit that they want to molest our children. They admit that they want special rights that no American has. They admit that they want to infiltrate and weaken our military's moral fiber. They admit that they want complete control over the national law enforcement apparatus. They admit that they're deviants.

And just as Jesus showed us by example and could not have stood back and done nothing at the Temple, I couldn't stand back and do nothing in the face of the growing power of the radical Homosexual Agenda.

But now, my friend, I need to count on you.

I absolutely must raise $136,569.23 in the next 25 days to pay past bills and keep programs going.

I need to be able to count on you for a special gift.

Can I count on you?

If I am not able to raise the money, I don't know what I will do.

I don't know how I can keep fighting.

Without you, it will be impossible to hold off the Gay Bill of Special Rights, the Homosexual Classrooms Act or the Offense of Marriage Act. Without immediate help, how can Public Advocate fight to keep children safe in school from lustful deviants?

With radical Homosexuals plotting to infiltrate this Congress, nothing stands in the way of passing the entire Homosexual Agenda the next time around -- nothing except for you and me.

Shaken by the recent election season, Republicans are vulnerable to Homosexual Lobby tricks to “expand the tent.” Radical homosexual activists will tempt Republicans to sell out their pro-Family supporters so they can remain in control of the House.

That's why we need to prove now that pro-Family Americans are still a force in politics. We need to bolster our allies and frighten our enemies.

We must build political capital now in order to resist the Homosexual Agenda as anti-Family forces seize control of the federal government.

It needs to be done, but I can't do it alone. Help me prove the radical homosexuals and liberals wrong when they say you've given up. Show them you still care about the Family.

When I sat down to write this email, I thought back to all we have accomplished. I remember when I first packed up my car and drove down to Washington from Queens, New York.

When I was first offered a position as the full time Executive Director of Public Advocate, it was a dream come true. I had the opportunity to lead one of the most influential organizations in America.

I resigned my position on the staff of the Legislature, I packed my few belongings into my yellow Ford Pinto, and I drove to Washington.

President Reagan had just been elected... Ed Meese and Lyn Nofziger were at the White House... I knew we could change America.

And one of the things I was overwhelmed by during those golden days in 1981 was the outpouring of support from people all across this great nation.

Who could have known 32 years ago what the future held in store for me? Just days after coming to Washington, I met Sheila Hobbs, the woman who was to become my wife.

At the time, Sheila was working for The White House... And when I met her on that cold winter day, she seemed to me to be the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

That day when Sheila and I first met, we were at a meeting of the leaders of the Conservative movement.

But Sheila and I stood off to the side and talked about our Faith.

I knew I was in love with Sheila that day.

And people said that a woman as beautiful as Sheila would never marry me -- the man the newspapers were already calling the "Ichabod Crane of the Right."

And then as I got to know her (she came over to my office to help stuff envelopes), I realized she was as beautiful in her spirit and her faith in God as she was in physical beauty...

In those early days of the Reagan Administration, Sheila and I were married and started our family.

I will never forget the great sacrifices Sheila made to our cause in those early days of our marriage. After working long hours at the White House, she would come over to my office to help with our important projects.

And Sheila wasn't alone. People all across this great nation pitched in. And we made a difference.

You and I and thousands of other Americans stood up to be counted.

We told the liberal media, the university elite, and the Hollywood Crowd we didn't care what they thought anymore...

We would fight for what is right. And we did that, my friend.

Who could forget the shocked look on Sam Donaldson's face when I showed up at the White House with hundreds of Americans to support Jim Watt?

Sam Donaldson said that minorities and the handicapped opposed Jim Watt, President Reagan's Secretary of Interior...

...So I found handicapped, Hispanic, and Black Americans to come to the White House to testify in favor of Jim Watt...

And we won...

...And remember back in 1982 when the first horrible "Gay Bill of Special Rights" was introduced? We stopped it dead in its tracks... (I only wish it was so easy to stop it now. It has cost me over half a million dollars to keep it from coming to a vote in the last Congress)...

...On Inaugural Day 1992, my supporters and I alone stood up to Clinton and his "Queer Nation" friends as they declared war on America's children...

...And at the "Gay March on Washington," we openly confronted the radical homosexuals... despite death threats and the overwhelming number of homosexuals who descended on Washington...

...And several years ago on Easter Sunday, as members of the radical Homosexual group ACT-UP planned to attack Christians, my supporters came through and formed human barricades to keep ACT-UP out of the churches (one man drove up on the sidewalk to try to kill me during that confrontation)...

...And for almost a decade, Public Advocate again and again faced down Ted Kennedy's Thought Control Bill, which had been scandalously attached to a measure funding our brave men and women serving overseas. Each time, we stood alone shining the light on these backroom deals.

…And just this past year, you and I drew the wrath of the corrupt Southern Poverty Law Center by sending our pro-Family warnings to more Americans than ever before.

Working together, we were able to be such a strong voice in American Politics.

Jesse Jackson, Harry Reid, John Kerry, Barack Obama, John Edwards, National Public Radio's Nina Totenberg, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Al Franken and -- yes -- both Bill and Hillary Clinton have all come to despise me.

My father always told me that you can judge a man by his enemies.

And I have these enemies because of our fight. Because for a quarter of a century, you and I have held these people accountable for their actions...

I need your help again right now.

Please send an urgent gift right away.

I can't go on fighting against the radical Homosexual Lobby if I don't raise the money to pay the bills. And I shudder to think of what will happen if the liberals in Washington go unchecked...

Radical homosexuals are gearing up to introduce a sick and disgusting agenda:

-- "Gay adoption," K-12 gay sex-education curricula, and special rights for homosexuals.

-- The Offense of Marriage Act, which will force every community in America to recognize homosexual "marriages."

-- Massive hiring quotas for homosexuals in every government agency.

And now with the passage of Thought Control, the radical homosexuals can use government agencies to harass pastors, pro-Family leaders and other Bible-believing Christians in America for simply believing and teaching that homosexuality is wrong.

And even with a weakened Republican Majority, the openly homosexual Congressman Jared Polis has promised to fight for passage of the Gay Bill of Special Rights in this Congress -- Daycare Centers, Churches, Schools, Camps, Nursing Homes, Hospitals, and virtually every other employer in America will be forced to hire practicing homosexuals.

It gets worse and worse, my friend.

I worry that America is turning into a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.

What kind of country teaches its children that prayer is wrong and that homosexuality is just another "lifestyle?"

What kind of country funds homosexual child/adult pornography but arrests teachers who dare to bring Bibles into their classrooms?

And what kind of country funnels millions of dollars of tax money into the coffers of the Homosexual Pornography Lobby?

It isn't a nation I'm always proud of...

But it's my country, and I love it.

I worry about the nation our children are growing up in. It's not the nation of my youth...

I won't allow my children to grow up in a nation where police are forced by gay "rights" laws to allow sexual predators like "Uncle Ed" Savitz and Jeffrey Dahmer to rape and murder young boys in the streets...

And I won't stand by while pro-homosexual school teachers expose our children to "gay" filth and call it "AIDS education."

The truth is we are in a fight for the very future of our children. And for our future. As a Nation under God.

Together, you and I got rid of the wicked John Frohnmayer from the National Endowment for the Arts after we caught him funneling our tax money into homosexual child/adult pornography...

But we only won that fight due to the sacrifices made by pro-Family Americans like you. How much can you spare this time around?

And we fought side by side to keep Ed Meese's Anti-Child Pornography Unit at the Justice Department open. And we won.

We stopped Bill Clinton’s plan to throw open our borders to AIDS-infected foreign-alien homosexuals so that they could fill up our hospitals [though Obama has just announced he’s bringing this back.

Then came Clinton's back alley appointment of James Hormel after you and I worked so hard to freeze his nomination in the Senate.

But these last few years have been the hardest ever as homosexuals have infiltrated even the Republican Party by tricking good conservatives into accepting the Thought Control Bill as a "political necessity" compromise...

It gets even worse my friend. The Homosexual Lobby is so incensed by Public Advocate’s refusal to silence our pro-Family message, we now know one of their followers was determined to kill me, my staff or even my whole family...

Last August a radical pro-homosexual agent went on a shooting spree in the D.C. area... and I was told by the FBI that I was on the list he obtained from the Southern Poverty Law Center's website.

And even after knowing about the danger, lawyers for the Southern Poverty Law Center still tried to publish my private home address in legal documents. My whole family was threatened until the judge ordered it stricken.

But once again, you came through. My friends and supporters all across the country gave generously and enabled me to defeat the “legal” tactics of the Homosexual Lobby in court...

And I just can't fight on without your help. Before I can do anything else, I must pay the bills my office owes.

Now, this may shock you -- it did me.

A few weeks ago, I mailed some of my most loyal Christian supporters a letter about the hate campaign the radical homosexuals were waging against America...

I asked my friends to sign an important petition. And I am so thankful to my friends who signed their petitions.

But only 2 of every 10 people to whom I wrote responded. That was less than I hoped for.

I felt as if I were all alone.

And it hurt.

And today as I look at the bills my office owes and all of the work that is ahead of me, I feel alone again.

I need to know you are with me.

Are you with me?

If only 2 of every ten people who receive this email respond, I can't fight on. I need your help this time.

Please chip in a generous contribution to help my pro-Family campaigns.

Please send an emergency contribution of $100 or more today.

And if $100 is simply too much right now, please send something.

I know I ask a lot from you. Please believe that I also ask a lot from myself.

As the President of Public Advocate, I am asked to make many sacrifices, as is my family. Financial sacrifices, social sacrifices, we've even been asked to sacrifice our right to live without fear of radical Homosexual Activists.

And we will make the sacrifices. Sheila backs me all the way and has faith in my meeting every challenge.

Now, I need to ask you to make a sacrifice also. One that may seem too big: Please send Public Advocate a one-time contribution.

Ray, I need you to send an emergency contribution of $75 today.

I know I'm asking for a lot -- it's not easy asking for it, but you have been so generous to the causes we believe in.

If I could go without ever asking you for money again, believe me, I would.

But you and I both know better than that.

It's expensive to run national campaigns like these. And my office has never received taxpayer funds for its pro-Family campaigns.

I need to count on my friends and supporters all across America.

And right now, I need to count on you.

Please send a one-time donation of $75 or as much as you can afford.

I'm sure you have a lot of people asking you for help and some days it seems like your inbox will overflow with emails from deserving organizations asking for much needed funds.

And I'm sure that, just like Sheila and me, you have given a lot of money to fight for morality in America.

But this is so important.

With Democrats in control of the Senate and anti-Family Republicans infiltrating the conservative movement, the Homosexual Lobby is poised to shove its evil, hate-filled legislation down the throats of decent, God-loving American people.

And with his re-election behind him, President Obama is chomping at the bit to pass the entire Homosexual Agenda.

That's why it's critical we support what friends we have left in Congress and fight, and fight, and fight to keep bills on the Homosexual Agenda from ever coming up for a vote.

But first we have to pay our bills. That's only fair.

And I need you.

I need to know I can still count on you.

So I need to ask you again: please send a one-time gift of $75 today.

I'm not saying I won't ask again. I've never been one to make promises I can't keep.

But if you can help me today by letting me know that you are still with me, it will mean that we can continue to fight. And to win.

It's up to you.

Every day this world becomes less safe for America's children, every day the radical homosexuals gain more control.

I cannot continue this fight without your help. Please send your donation back today.

Sincerely,

HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the United States

P.S. I will watch my inbox for your response. It is so important that you help today. This is life-and-death struggle, and there can be no compromise with these monsters.

Harry Reid, Jared Polis and the other liberals in Congress are pushing to establish the perverse Homosexual Agenda as law.

They will bring back Nationalized Homosexual Marriage again, along with the Gay Bill of Special Rights, probably without notice like last time. Last year radical legislators pulled every trick in the book to sneak these bills through piece-meal -- until Public Advocate narrowly stopped them.

It is crucially important that I raise $136,569.23 in the next 25 days, or I will be forced to scale back programs at this crucial time. If enough money isn't raised, I may even have to temporarily close our doors.

I don't want to do that. We need to keep fighting.

Our important work must go on. I must have Public Advocate's debt paid and be ready to fight. Please help today. I ask you to prayerfully consider a one-time contribution of $50. That's a lot to ask, but this is critical.

May God bless you and keep you from harm.
