From Campaign For Liberty:
As recently as a few years ago, the idea that a tax-and-regulatory scheme favored by powerful special interests and revenue-hungry governors would have any problem sailing through both houses of Congress was considered as absurd as the idea that Congress would ever take action to roll back the surveillance state or act on legislation to audit the Fed.
But today, what was once considered “unthinkable” is happening!
Just two weeks ago, Campaign for Liberty members helped force Harry Reid to delay voting on a scheme to add the National Internet Tax Mandate to legislation prohibiting Internet access taxes.
We are now hearing that Reid may delay considering the bill until September - or even until the “lame duck.” We are also getting indications that Reid may actually be considering passing a clean Internet access tax bill!
And earlier this summer, Representative Thomas Massie successfully attached an amendment to the Defense Appropriations bill forbidding the National Security Agency (NSA) from using taxpayer dollars to spy on our Internet usage!
The same week Campaign for Liberty led the fight to foil the latest scheme to ram the National Internet Tax Mandate into law, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform passed Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed bill (H.R. 24)!
The full House is expected to vote on the bill in September, giving us the opportunity to force Harry Reid to finally allow a roll-call vote in the Senate.
These recent victories show that those who thought our liberty rEVOLUtion would go away after the 2012 election could not have been more wrong! Our movement is only growing in size and effectiveness.
And as long as C4L members like you remain active, we will continue to accomplish great things for liberty in the next few years.
There is no better way to celebrate our accomplishments while planning the next steps in our r3VOLution than attending LPAC 2014!

P.S. In the last couple months, Campaign for Liberty has made significant progress toward passing Audit the Fed, stopping the National Internet Tax Mandate, and rolling back the Surveillance State.
The next few years will provide us with excellent opportunities to build on these victories if we continue to train to increase our effectiveness.
That’s one reason I am so excited about LPAC 2014.
At LPAC 2014, you will hear from some of the liberty movement’s leading elected officials, writers, and activists, and you will also learn how to increase your impact in fighting the statists on Capitol Hill, in your State Capitol, and at City Hall.
You can also meet, exchange ideas, and make plans with C4L leaders from across the nation.
Please help us lay the groundwork for the next step in our r3VOLution by joining us at LPAC 2014!

Reminders to Congress
From Campaign For Liberty:
I'll admit. I was worried.
Just two weeks ago, it looked like we were about to suffer serious setbacks in our efforts to pass Audit the Fed and stop the National Internet Tax Mandate.
But then Campaign for Liberty supporters turned up the heat on the House and Senate. And thanks to your efforts, things have changed.
Not only did Campaign for Liberty supporters stop the National Internet Tax Mandate from being snuck into law this month, we've been told the U.S. House is going to vote on the Audit the Fed in early September.
Passing Audit the Fed through the House increases the pressure on Harry Reid and his Senate cronies to hold a roll call vote before Congress adjourns for the November elections.
That's great news. But we can't celebrate just yet.
Instead, it's time to turn up the heat.
If we are to succeed in getting Audit the Fed passed by the House and onto the Senate floor, and stopping the National Internet Tax Mandate, we need to make sure that Members of Congress hear from C4L activists like you over August recess to ensure House Leadership doesn't try to weasel out of any action on H.R. 24 or start pushing for new taxes.
That's why I've asked Campaign for Liberty Vice President of Policy Norman Singleton to prepare the below memo detailing our progress and outlining how Campaign for Liberty members can help keep the pressure on Congress over the August recess.
Norm and the C4L staff have also prepared a flier on Audit the Fed for you to download and distribute at town halls or other public events with your Senators and Representative.
So please read Norm's memo, and if at a, chip-in to Campaign for Liberty's efforts to pass Audit the Fed and stop the National Internet Tax Mandate with a gift of $10 or more.
In Liberty,
John Tate
President
Per John's request, I have prepared a brief outline on the progress we've made in our battle to pass Audit the Fed and stop the National Internet Tax Mandate in July, as well suggesting a plan of action for the August recess.
Audit the Fed (H.R. 24)
After a majority of the House of Representatives cosponsored Audit the Fed (H.R. 24) for the third Congress in a row, it appeared it would be easy to convince the House leadership, which was worried bout being “Cantored,” to schedule a vote on the bill.
But instead, three weeks ago the House Committee on Financial Services introduced a Federal Reserve “reform” bill they marketed as providing a “pathway to Audit the Fed.”
But sadly, they fell far short.
In fact, the move was little more than “window dressing” Members of Congress could use during this election season to claim they supported auditing the Fed while effectively protecting its secrecy.
The bad news for them is, it didn't work.
After Campaign for Liberty publicly opposed the bill as an inadequate substitute for the full audit bill, Campaign for Liberty supporters called Financial Services Committee members to let them know that half-measures wouldn't work.
Instead, our members insisted the Committee support legislation mandating a full audit of the fed, as required by H.R. 24.
After hearing from C4L grassroots activists, the Financial Services staff requested a meeting with C4L Director of Legislation Tim Shoemaker and myself, as well as staffers from H.R. 24's sponsor Representative Paul Broun's office.
At this meeting, the Committee staff assured us they were fully supportive of H.R. 24 and expressed a willingness to work with Campaign for Liberty to pass the bill.
Just days after the meeting, we received word that the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform would markup the bill.
Once again, Campaign for Liberty supporters sent a strong message to Oversight and Government Reform Committee members to pass a “clean” bill.
The result was Audit the Fed passed out of committee by voice vote!
While we've heard the House will vote on the bill in early September, we must continue to keep the pressure on GOP House leadership to ensure they don't back down.
But if C4L supporters stay engaged, this will give us a good amount of time to turn up the heat on Harry Reid to bring Audit the Fed up for a floor vote up ahead of the November elections.
But that work must start now.
The good news is, Audit the Fed is not the only issue that we made progress on in last month.
National Internet Tax Mandate
Once again, Campaign for Liberty supporters foiled a scheme to ram the National Internet Tax Mandate into law.
Several weeks ago, the House passed legislation making the moratorium on Internet Access Taxes permanent.
This moratorium prevents governments from making getting online a taxable event. If the moratorium expires, citizens could be taxed from multiple jurisdictions every time they send an e-mail to someone in a different state or city.
Obviously, passing legislation either extending the moratorium or making it permanent is widely-supported, so the House bill should have sailed through the Senate with little difficulty.
But even before the bill passed the House, we heard that a bipartisan group of Senators, led by Big Government Republicans Lamar Alexander and Mike Enzi, were working to convince Harry Reid to attach the National Internet Tax Mandate to the Internet Access Tax Moratorium.
Senator Alexander even threatened to hold up the Internet Access Tax Moratorium unless Reid agreed to attach the National Internet Tax Mandate!
Senator Alexander, and his partners-in-crime, were hoping this maneuver could provide cover to wavering Senators by allowing them to claim that they “had to” vote to impose new taxes and regulation on Internet commerce in order to protect their constituents from having to pay taxes every time they went online.
We also heard that the House GOP leadership had quietly signed off on this scheme.
It seemed like a done deal. . .
But then Campaign for Liberty supporters once again weighed in with their Senators, forcing Reid to delay the scheme.
However, crony-capitalist big businesses and revenue-hungry governors will not give up trying to attach the National Internet Tax Mandate to the Internet Access Tax Moratorium.
They will likely try to get Reid to attach it when the Senate returns in September, and if they do not succeed, then they will make an attempt during the “lame duck.”
That is why it is important to keep the pressure on the National Internet Tax Mandate during the August recess.
August Recess: Turn up the Heat!
It is important to keep the heat on House members regarding Audit the Fed to make sure we get at least as strong a vote as we did in 2012.
It's also important to keep the heat on Senators to make sure they know that the people want them to stand with the nearly 75% of Americans who favor Audit the Fed, not Harry Reid and the Big Banksters.
Therefore, I suggest we ask our supporters to check to see if their representative will be holding town halls or making other public appearances and reminding them that the majority of their constituents want them to support Audit the Fed and oppose the National Internet Tax Mandate on EVERY vote.
Attached is a flyer our members can download and pass out at meetings, parades, townhalls, or any other public event with politicians present on Audit the Fed.
The Audit the Fed flier can be accessed here.
If possible, our supporters may also want to schedule personal meetings with their representative and senators to discuss Audit the Fed and the National Internet Tax Mandate.
If our supporters keep the pressure up over August, we will have even more progress advancing Audit the Fed and continue to be successful in stopping the National Internet Tax Mandate.
Pressure from C4L supporters has worked so well over the past several weeks. But the stakes grow higher virtually every day.
It's time to take action now.

Force Harry Reid to schedule a vote on Audit The Fed
From Campaign For Liberty:
Even after almost six years of pumping U.S. dollars - created out of thin air - into the American economy, April’s jobs report showed that the American people are not benefiting from the recommendations of the so-called “experts.”
All the Fed’s quantitative easing was “supposed” to dig us out of the Great Recession long before now. . .
But another 800,000 Americans just dropped out of the labor force, leaving just over 60% of working-age adults with full-time employment - the lowest number since Jimmy Carter’s presidency.
So what’s the Fed’s solution?
More of the same. More “print-now, ask-questions-later” policies. More Federal Reserve-fueled dollar destruction. . .
More printing money to pay the bills - fueling our ever-growing $17.5 TRILLION in national debt, which threatens to wipe out every last shred of American wealth!
But the good news is - thanks to your support - Audit the Fed (H.R. 24) has reached 224 cosponsors in the U.S. House - a clear majority!
Now - with the November elections rapidly approaching - it’s absolutely critical you sign the petition to House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and your U.S. Senators I'll link to in just a moment!
As you’ll see, these petitions:
1) INSIST Republican House Leadership STOP protecting Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and schedule an IMMEDIATE roll call vote on H.R. 24; and
2) URGE your U.S. Senators to stand with my son - Senator Rand Paul - in his efforts to force the U.S. Senate on record on Audit the Fed.
Won’t you please sign your petition IMMEDIATELY?
Politicians always listen better when they’re running for office. So NOW is the time to take action.
It’s an especially important time to make our voices heard because many establishment politicians have been shaken by Eric Cantor’s stunning primary defeat.
They know that if they continue to resist grassroots Americans, they run the risk of being “Cantor’d” themselves.
As Eric Cantor’s time in Congress comes to a close, he will continue as Majority Leader until July 31.
So he still needs to hear from you. Passing Audit the Fed would give him a chance to end his time in Leadership by doing what’s right for our nation’s economic future.
If you and I can FORCE Congress to Audit the Fed, the American people will finally see that the Federal Reserve System leads to:
***Constant economic crises. The housing crisis and the resulting chaos is just one example of an economic bubble created by centrally planned interest rates and money manipulation;
***The destruction of the middle class. As fuel, food, housing, medical care, and education costs soar, everyone who is NOT on the government dole is forced to make do with less as the value of their money sinks;
***Currency destruction. History shows us that riots, violence, and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize their money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and REFUSE to accept it.
Thanks to the hard work of good folks like you, Audit the Fed passed the House by an incredible bipartisan three-fourths majority in 2012.
Since then, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been our chief roadblock.
My son, Senator Rand Paul, has been doing everything possible to force the Senate on record on Audit the Fed - even holding up several of President Obama’s nominees to put pressure on Harry Reid to agree to a vote.
But there’s no doubt Senator Reid would begin to feel even MORE pressure to act once Audit the Fed passes the House in this Congress!
So now that a majority of the U.S. House has cosponsored H.R. 24, it’s time for House Republican Leadership to stop protecting Senator Reid and schedule an IMMEDIATE vote!
Once the bill passes the House, will Senator Reid and President Obama really be able to say “NO” to exposing the out-of-control Fed?
Well, 2014 is an election year. And Audit the Fed is supported by nearly 75% of the American people.
“Thanks” to ObamaCare, NSA spying, and a host of other issues, the political winds are already blowing against President Obama and Senator Reid.
If they want to add Audit the Fed to the mix, it’ll be their political funeral in 2014.
The American people are FED UP with Big Government politicians trying to run their lives. And more and more now understand Federal Reserve banksters aren’t running our economy anywhere but into the ground.
That’s why it’s so important you sign your petition to House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY.
With your help, Campaign for Liberty can fully implement a massive three-part plan to turn up the heat on Congress, including:
1) Using mail and email to contact millions of Americans from coast to coast to generate petitions just like these to Congress;
2) Working the talk radio lines and conducting interviews insisting that House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor stop protecting Harry Reid;
3) Launching an all-out Internet, email, and TV mobilization campaign to explain to the American people exactly why the Federal Reserve MUST be exposed.
So won’t you please sign your petition at once?
And, if you can, please agree to your most generous contribution, as well.
As it stands right now, Campaign for Liberty doesn’t have the money in the bank to fund everything that needs to be done.
And I know without funds, all our best-laid plans are nothing but words on paper.
So I’m counting on you to help me turn up the pressure on Congress. Won’t you please agree to a generous contribution of $30?
I know I’m asking you to stretch.
But I also know you understand just how important it is we finally Audit the Fed and EXPOSE the Fed’s track record of economic DESTRUCTION.
But if $30 is just too much, please give what you can.
Perhaps you can give $20 or $10?
Regardless of what you can give, just please act right away.
It’s time to turn up the HEAT on Congress like never before.
So please act at once!
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman

Tell the Speaker and the House Majority Leader to support Audit the Fed
From Campaign For Liberty:
I’ve received some exciting news from Campaign for Liberty President John Tate.
For the third Congress in a row, a majority of the House of Representatives has cosponsored our Audit the Fed bill (H.R. 24)!
It is very rare for any legislation to obtain a majority of representatives as cosponsors in one Congress, so it is remarkable to get majority support for three in a row!
This is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of Campaign for Liberty members like you.
Last week, Campaign for Liberty Vice President of Policy Norman Singleton and Director of Legislation Tim Shoemaker met with the lead sponsor of H.R. 24, Representative Paul Broun, to discuss Audit the Fed.
Then, Campaign for Liberty asked our members to contact those representatives who had not yet cosponsored Audit the Fed and urge them to do so.
And 14 representatives have cosponsored Audit the Fed this week alone!
Now that the bill has majority support in the House, it is time for Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor to schedule a roll call vote on H.R. 24!
So please call Speaker Boehner at (202) 225-0600 and Majority Leader Cantor at (202) 225-4000.
Tell them to side with the nearly 75% of the American people — and the majority of the House — who support Audit the Fed by scheduling a vote on Audit the Fed before the Fourth of July recess!
And please chip in $40, $30, $20, or even $10 to help Campaign for Liberty keep up the momentum and pass Audit the Fed!
Thank you for all your help in this effort!
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. Thanks to the incredible help of Campaign for Liberty members like you, Audit the Fed (H.R. 24) has once again obtained majority support in the House of Representatives. Now it’s time for House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor to schedule a vote on Audit the Fed.
So please call Speaker Boehner at (202) 225-0600 and Majority Leader Cantor at (202) 225-4000.

Or you can email Congressman John Boehner and Congressman Eric Cantor and let them know via email if you can't place the phone call.
I’ve received some exciting news from Campaign for Liberty President John Tate.
For the third Congress in a row, a majority of the House of Representatives has cosponsored our Audit the Fed bill (H.R. 24)!
It is very rare for any legislation to obtain a majority of representatives as cosponsors in one Congress, so it is remarkable to get majority support for three in a row!
This is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of Campaign for Liberty members like you.
Last week, Campaign for Liberty Vice President of Policy Norman Singleton and Director of Legislation Tim Shoemaker met with the lead sponsor of H.R. 24, Representative Paul Broun, to discuss Audit the Fed.
Then, Campaign for Liberty asked our members to contact those representatives who had not yet cosponsored Audit the Fed and urge them to do so.
And 14 representatives have cosponsored Audit the Fed this week alone!
Now that the bill has majority support in the House, it is time for Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor to schedule a roll call vote on H.R. 24!
So please call Speaker Boehner at (202) 225-0600 and Majority Leader Cantor at (202) 225-4000.

Thank you for all your help in this effort!

P.S. Thanks to the incredible help of Campaign for Liberty members like you, Audit the Fed (H.R. 24) has once again obtained majority support in the House of Representatives. Now it’s time for House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor to schedule a vote on Audit the Fed.
So please call Speaker Boehner at (202) 225-0600 and Majority Leader Cantor at (202) 225-4000.

Support HR 24
From Campaign For Liberty:
We’re approaching a critical milestone on Audit the Fed.
H.R. 24, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, is just 9 cosponsors away from gaining a House majority of 218 for the third Congress in a row!
Campaign for Liberty staffers are hard at work calling, emailing, and continuing to meet with congressional offices to deliver your petitions and explain the importance of the legislation to new offices while urging them to be a part of history.
Just yesterday, C4L Director of Legislation Tim Shoemaker and Vice President of Policy Norm Singleton met with our bill sponsor, Rep. Paul Broun (GA-10), to discuss the growing support for the legislation.
Dr. Broun emphasized that once we get this audit passed, he’s ready to double down on the Fed by pushing H.R. 73, the Federal Reserve Abolition Act!
While many of Dr. Ron Paul’s supporters are ready to end the Fed now (and so are we!), it’s vital we pass Audit the Fed first to expose the Fed’s inner workings to the world.
But we need your help today to take this over the top.
That’s why I hope you’ll sign your Pass Audit the Fed petition immediately and follow up with a call and email to your representative. Then forward this on to your friends and family.
Audit the Fed has only come as far as it has over the past five years because of our members’ historic grassroots lobbying efforts.
I’m counting on our members’ continued help to pass Audit the Fed in 2014.
Let’s make it happen.
In Liberty,
John Tate
President
P.S. Campaign for Liberty is continuing to fight to Audit the Fed, but implementing an ambitious grassroots mobilization program doesn’t come cheap.
Unlike the Federal Reserve, Campaign for Liberty can’t just print money out of thin air. So please chip in $10 or $15 to help us mobilize more Americans so we can fully Audit, and then End, the Fed!

Support Audit The Fed Support HR 24
From Campaign For Liberty:
"Monetary morphine."
That's how some are now referring to the Fed's risky and unprecedented print-now, ask-questions-later policies.
As a doctor, I can tell you morphine is one of the most dangerous and addictive substances known to man. First, just a little of the opiate masks a patient's pain. But then, addicts crave more and more until overdoses result in death.
The Fed has tried hard to mask many of our economic problems for years now. But today, the first cracks are starting to appear in what I believe will be nothing less than a Federal Reserve-created, global financial meltdown.
And every second Congress waits to finally audit and EXPOSE the Federal Reserve - the first step toward finally ENDING the Fed once and for all - the problems get bigger and bigger.
That's why it's critical you sign your Audit the Fed petition right away.
As you'll see, this petition urges your U.S. Representative to do everything in their power to achieve a standalone, roll call vote on the Audit the Fed bill (H.R. 24), including cosponsoring it if they haven't yet done so.
As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid showed us during Fed Chair Janet Yellen's confirmation fight - when he blatantly broke Senate rules rather than allow so much as a vote on Audit the Fed - he'll resort to any dirty trick in the book to stop you and me.
But the truth is, there's never been any defense in Washington, D.C. against a tidal wave of angry Americans DEMANDING political action - or politicians' hides.
That's exactly why I'm counting on your action today to help me create that tidal wave of outrage before it's too late.
You see, just recently, news broke that Wall Street bigwigs, including George Soros' investment firm, held off-the-record private meetings with Fed officials, where they urged a new round of Fed "intervention" to prop up Europe.
Apparently, the TRILLIONS in bailouts and secret loans the Fed has issued to overseas banks in recent years aren't working.
Now,some foreign banks are fearing old-fashioned panics and demanding depositors show proof of need just to withdraw "large amounts" of their own money! And I'm afraid it's only a matter of time until this madness reaches our shores.
Today the U.S. dollar acts as the world's "reserve currency" - the currency most often used in international trading.
This has encouraged our federal government's monetary morphine high, enabling Congress to spend like drunken sailors as U.S. dollars - even when printed out of thin air - stay in demand around the globe.
But as foreign economies crumble and stop needing U.S. dollars - and the Federal Reserve continues to print money like there's no tomorrow - I truly fear an all-out, global financial catastrophe resulting in the collapse of the U.S. dollar.
And our massive and growing $17.3 TRILLION national debt could end up wiping out every last shred of American wealth.
That's why your action today is so critical.
If you and I can FORCE Congress to Audit the Fed, the American people will finally see that the Federal Reserve System leads to:
***Ever-expanding Big Government boondoggles like "ObamaCare."
Now that politicians have figured out the Fed will just create money out of thin air to pay the bills if taxing and borrowing can't make ends meet, the floodgates are wide open for even more of the statists' utopian plans;
***Constant economic crises.
The housing crisis and the resulting chaos is just one example of an economic bubble created by centrally planned interest rates and money manipulation;
***The destruction of the middle class.
As fuel, food, housing, medical care, and education costs soar, everyone who is NOT on the government dole is forced to make do with less as the value of their money sinks;
***Currency destruction.
History shows us that riots, violence, and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize their money isn't worth the paper it's printed on and REFUSE to accept it.
That's why it's so important you help me turn up the heat on Congress today!
I know that despite an outpouring of action by the American people during Janet Yellen's confirmation hearing, Senator Reid flat-out REFUSED to allow a vote on Audit the Fed.
But luckily for him, my ability to participate in the fight was limited by federal law.
As a former Member of Congress, I was restricted on what I could say and do regarding legislation and grassroots mobilization for one year after leaving office. For example, I couldn't even directly ask you to call Congress for or against a piece of legislation.
But those restrictions were lifted on January 4.
And with so much at stake, I'm more determined than ever to FORCE Congress to act on auditing the Federal Reserve.
Without an audit, I'm afraid there could be no stopping the economic calamity you and I both sense roaring at us like a freight train.
The good news is your action is proven to work.
Just ten years ago, discussion of the Federal Reserve was limited almost solely to libertarian academics and a few of us in Congress.
Today, it's a MAJOR national political issue - one supported by nearly 75% of the American people.
And it's your action in support of Campaign for Liberty that put it there.
Thanks to your help, my Audit the Fed bill passed the U.S. House with an incredible bipartisan three-fourths majority in 2012. And if you and I can create another massive tidal wave of action in 2014, I'm convinced there will be no stopping us.
But there's no time to waste. You and I have a LOT of work to do.
And it all starts in the House.
Today, the House version of Audit the Fed (H.R. 24) stands at 184 cosponsors, just 34 short of a majority.
If you and I can pressure a majority of House members to cosponsor Audit the Fed, pressure will dramatically increase on the House Leadership to schedule a vote.
I'm confident, once a vote is scheduled, the bill will sail through the House yet again.
At that point, will Senator Reid and President Obama really be able to say "NO" to holding a vote?
Well, 2014 is an election year.
As I mentioned earlier, Audit the Fed is supported by nearly 75% of the American people.
"Thanks" to ObamaCare, NSA spying, and a host of other issues, the political winds are already blowing against President Obama and Senator Reid.
If they want to add Audit the Fed to the mix, it'll be their political funeral in 2014.
The American people are FED UP with Big Government politicians trying to run their lives.
And more and more now understand Federal Reserve banksters aren't running our economy anywhere but into the ground.
That's why it's so important you sign your petition IMMEDIATELY.
My hope is to contact up to 12 million Americans from coast-to-coast to generate additional petitions to Congress.
That alone will dramatically turn up the heat on Congress to take action. But I'm not going to stop there.
In fact, I've instructed Campaign for Liberty staff to craft a $500,000 Internet, email, and TV mobilization campaign.
Not only that, but it seems just about every other day, I get a call from another news network asking for an interview.
Now that my restrictions have been lifted, I'm going to come after the Fed with everything I have.
But I'm just one man. And I know what it's like to stand alone.
For almost 40 years, I've fought to restore constitutional principles in America.
I've warned about the dangers of the Fed.
Today, as much as I hate to see it, my predictions are coming true.
But I know I'm not alone any more. The support of good folks like you who are willing to take action to save our beloved Republic gives me hope.
So won't you please sign the petition to your U.S. Representative at once?
And, if you can, please agree to your most generous contribution.
Campaign for Liberty doesn't have the money in the bank to fund everything that needs to be done.
And I know without money, all our best-laid plans are nothing but words on paper. So I'm counting on you to help me turn up the pressure on Congress.
Won't you please agree to a generous contribution of $15?
I know I'm asking you to stretch.
But I also know you understand just how important it is we finally Audit the Fed and FORCE our federal government to give up its addiction to "monetary morphine."
Of course, if $15 is just too much, please give what you can.
Perhaps you can give $10 or $5?
Regardless of what you can give, please act right away.
Please sign your petition and agree to your most generous contribution of $15, $10, $5, or whatever you can afford IMMEDIATELY.
In Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
