From Campaign For Liberty:
What a difference a month makes.
Or, more accurately, what a difference Campaign for Liberty members make!
In mid-November, as Congress was returning for its lame-duck session, it looked like House and Senate leadership would sneak an online gambling ban into law by attaching it to “must-pass” legislation, such as the end-of-year spending bill.
It also looked like the special interests had gotten the House and Senate leadership to agree to a backroom deal to sneak the so-called “Marketplace Fairness Act” (more accurately named the National Internet Tax Mandate) into law.
But C4L members like you refused to sit idly by.
C4L flooded the House and the Senate with grassroots voices and action, letting legislators know that - contrary to the statist’s hopes - we had not gone “home for the holidays.”
Instead, we made it clear we were going to keep the pressure on Congress throughout the lame duck in support of liberty and limited government.
Because of the actions of Campaign for Liberty members, the Lame Duck Congress has adjourned without passing either the online gambling ban or the National Internet Tax Mandate!
Defeating two lame-duck power grabs that most political experts thought were done deals is an almost unheard-of feat, considering that these types of deals usually sail through a Lame Duck Congress with little or no opposition.
But you and I proved the so-called “experts” wrong . . .
. . . just like we did in September when, thanks to the efforts of C4L members, the House of Representatives not only once again passed Audit the Fed but did so by a bigger margin than in 2012!
This success would not be possible without the support and involvement of Campaign for Liberty members like you.
But as great as these victories are, we cannot rest on our laurels.
We know the statists won’t give up.
Campaign for Liberty staffers are already laying the groundwork to continue our so-far successful efforts to block the online gambling ban and Internet Tax Mandate, as well as take advantage of the opportunity to finally get a Senate roll call vote on Audit the Fed.
But because we have had to spend so many resources blocking the National Internet Tax Mandate and the Internet gambling ban, promoting Audit the Fed, and taking on other battles, I am afraid we simply do not have the funds to continue to be so effective at stopping statism and advancing liberty without your help.
So could you please make a special contribution of $30, $20, or $10 today?
As you know, the National Internet Tax Mandate is backed by some of the country’s largest corporations, who are prepared to spend whatever it takes to pass this law that would crush their smaller competitors.
And this coalition working to increase government control over the Internet and your wallet has already made it clear they will be back next year.
The online gambling ban, backed by one billionaire casino owner who is also one of the country’s largest political donors, will also return.
This donor has made it clear he will spend whatever it takes — as well as use the leverage his past donations give him — to make sure Americans who choose to gamble have no choice but to do so inside a casino.
We have already heard that this billionaire has personally told House Speaker John Boehner how “disappointed” he is by the House’s failure to do his bidding in the lame-duck session.
We’ve also heard that House Republican Leadership is already working on getting this bill moving next year.
And while Audit the Fed may be supported by nearly 75% of the American people, its opposition includes the nation’s most powerful (and wealthy) banksters and Wall Street special interests.
These interests benefit from Federal Reserve secrecy and are desperate to thwart our efforts to Audit the Fed.
Considering the odds stacked against us, it is amazing we have made as much progress as we have.
But unless we can replenish our bank accounts soon, we may not be able to give these fights everything we need to win.
That is why I hope you I can count on you to make a special contribution of $30 today.
If that is too much, could I count on you for a contribution of $20 or even $10?
Anything you can give will be appreciated and will help us make sure we are able to implement our most effective programs to keep blocking the online gambling ban and the National Internet Tax Mandate while making further progress on Audit the Fed.
Stopping the online gambling ban and the National Internet Tax Mandate in the lame duck is a great victory for which every member of Campaign for Liberty should be proud.
Working together, you and I defeated some of the most powerful special interests in the country — including one of the nation's biggest and most well-connected political donors.
But in order to continue that success, we need to replenish our bank accounts immediately.
So please make a contribution of $30, $20, or $10 right away to help us take a strong stand for freedom.
Thank you once again for all your support of Campaign for Liberty.
These victories would not have been possible without the support of pro-liberty Americans like you.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. Campaign for Liberty members once again defied the political “experts” by defeating efforts to sneak the online gambling ban and the National Internet Tax Mandate into law during the lame duck.
This was a remarkable win considering the powerful forces aligned against us, and it is due to the efforts of Campaign for Liberty members like you.
However, the proponents of these power grabs are not going away.
In fact, we’ve heard that House Republican Leadership is already working on getting the online gambling ban moving next year.
And the special interests behind the National Internet Tax Mandate have made it clear they will be back next Congress.
Campaign for Liberty staffers have already started drawing up plans to once again block these and other statist power grabs, as well as to take advantage of our best chance ever to finally get a Senate vote on Audit the Fed.
But we just don’t have enough resources right now to wage the vigorous fight needed to keep the victories going.
So if you can today, please make a special contribution of $30, $20, or $10 to help C4L continue to stand up to the establishment and promote liberty.

Defeat the Internet Sales Tax
From The National League of Taxpayers:
I’m back in D.C. and ready to do everything in my power to stop the Internet Sales Tax ambush.
But I can’t do it alone.
Organizations like the National League of Taxpayers play a critical role in defeating bad legislation.
That’s why I was excited to hear about their plan to generate a groundswell of grassroots opposition against the Internet Sales Tax.
But they need your help to make it happen.
They’ve set a goal to raise $20,000 by Monday to fund this critical program.
I hope you will help them reach this goal.
Whether you can give $30, $20, or $10, you help will make a difference.
For freedom,
Congressman Steve Stockman

Defeat the Internet Tax Mandate
From The National League of Tax Payers:
They are on the attack again.
And this time, members of both parties are the problem.
Of course, the only thing big-government politicians love more than spending your money is taking away more of it.
Are you prepared to pay taxes to use online services like Google, Facebook, Ebay or Netflix?
How about surrendering even more money to help finance ObamaCare?
If your answer is a resounding NO, then please keep reading.
President Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and unfortunately even a number of Republicans are looking at a new source of "revenue" through the Internet Sales Tax.
Of course, when tax-and-spend politicians introduce controversial legislation, they make sure to give it a name that'll be more receptive to taxpayers.
That's why they're calling it the "Marketplace Fairness Act" in an attempt to hide its obvious implications from you.
But make no mistake. Nothing about this big-government boondoggle is "fair."
You see, the Internet Sales Tax would hand the Federal Government massive new controls over state tax policies and set the stage for government at all levels to tax, regulate and track every transaction you make on the Internet.
The Internet Sales Tax would also create an online regulatory nightmare that will wreak havoc on businesses by forcing them to comply with 50 separate tax codes.
That's why it's critical you sign the petition DEMANDING my colleagues in the House and Senate vote "NO" on the Internet Sales Tax.
I'll give you a link in just a moment, but first, let me explain exactly what's at stake.
Tax-and-spend politicians are foaming at the mouth fantasizing about new spending programs they can create by using additional taxpayer dollars.
Today, instead of finding ways to cut spending and reduce taxes to get our economy going again, members of both parties are moving to squeeze even more money from the American people
Money that they intend to use in their efforts to fund and create more government programs like ObamaCare and Medicaid expansion.
The last thing we need is more taxes for the purpose of implementing more government.
That's why it's so critical you sign your No Internet Sales Tax petition.
And after you sign your petition, please chip in with $10, $15, or more to help fight back against the Internet Sales Tax right away.
The Internet is one of the greatest inventions of our time – and it's one of the last marketplaces where individuals can purchase goods and services with limited government intrusion.
That's why I hope you will help today in keeping the Internet as free from government interference as much as possible.
You see, under the Internet Sales Tax:
*** Obama's Federal Government will use the IRS to force online retailers to pay for their new revenue scheme, all while raising costs for consumers.
*** Tax collectors in one state will have the backing of the Federal Government and the IRS to pursue retailers across state lines.
*** Many of your favorite sites will be flooded out of business due to a tidal wave of new and higher taxes and regulations that threaten the Internet as we know it.
We should be lowering taxes. Not raising them.
But that will not happen unless I receive your support.
Will you stand by while Obama's IRS and big-government politicians in both parties continue to dig their hands in your pocket?
Or will you sign your No Internet Sales Tax petition telling your Congressman and Senators ENOUGH is ENOUGH?
And after you sign, please consider sending your maximum contribution of $100, $500, or $35 to help me mobilize Americans in our fight against the Internet Sales Tax.
If we don't stop the Internet Sales Tax scheme, every consumer in the country will feel the crippling effects as Congress takes a massive chunk out of American prosperity.
Your support will help alert hundreds of thousands of Americans on the nature of this battle, all while putting pressure on my counterparts in the House and Senate, demanding they vote NO on the Internet Sales Tax.
That's why your support is crucial.
This won't be easy.
But your support is what we need to win.
Please act IMMEDIATELY.
Sincerely,
Steve Stockman
United States Congressman

Defeat the Internet Tax Mandate
From RANDPAC:
Would you like to pay taxes to use services like Facebook, Google, iTunes, or Netflix?
How about paying even more taxes to help finance ObamaCare and other big-government boondoggles?
This could happen very soon, and it gets worse... much worse!
President Obama and the tax-and-spenders in Washington are gearing up to force through the Internet Tax Mandate.
Well, they aren't calling it that...
Those supporting this new tax hike and regulatory scheme are calling it the Marketplace Fairness Act in an attempt to hide its devious implications.
But make no mistake about it -- nothing about this big-government scheme is "fair."
The Internet Tax Mandate would allow states to force private companies to impose a sales tax on all online purchases.
This bill will create an online regulatory nightmare that will wreak havoc on small businesses to the benefit of large corporations and foreign competitors.
At a time when small businesses are already suffering under new regulations and higher taxes, the tax-and-spenders in Washington are gearing up to put them out of business altogether.
And to make matters worse, the politicians behind this scheme are plotting to sneak this through the House while you are enjoying your summer vacation.
Can I count on you to stand with us in the fight to keep the government from imposing a costly new tax scheme on the American people?
You see, instead of cutting spending to balance state budgets, the tax-and-spend politicians in both parties are looking to squeeze even more money from the American people.
And their plan is to force online retailers to moonlight as state tax collectors for all 50 states, regardless of whether or not they have a physical presence in the state.
This new type of sales tax bypasses current taxation restrictions and will open the door for even more taxation in the future.
I'll be fighting the Internet Tax Mandate the entire way, but I MUST have your support.
So please sign your "No Internet Tax" Petition to your representative TODAY.
And if possible, please chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 to help RANDPAC rally conservatives across the country to fight the tax-and-spenders.
We need to be lowering taxes, not raising them.
We need to get government out of the way so more jobs can be created, not have more government at the expense of the productive sector.
The last thing we need is more taxes, bigger government, and government control of the Internet.
You and I must protect our small business owners and our own pocketbooks from the tax-and-spenders in Washington.
It might seem like only a few pennies here and there, but it's much more than that.
The Internet Tax Mandate is the beginning of a larger government plan to take over the Internet.
And with President Obama throwing his weight behind this horrendous scheme, the fight just got a little bit tougher.
That's why it's vital you sign the "No Internet Tax" Petition IMMEDIATELY.
And I hope I can count on you to chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 to help RANDPAC endorse, support and elect constitutional conservatives to fight back against ANY new taxes.
You and I are running out of time to put together a solid defense against the Internet Tax Mandate.
So please take action TODAY.
This is a fight you and I can win if we stand together.
In Liberty,
Senator Rand Paul (R - Kentucky)
P.S. President Obama and his cronies are looking to tax and regulate the Internet.
You and I can stop him, but it will take all of the liberty-minded Americans we can reach.
So please sign your "No Internet Tax" Petition IMMEDIATELY.
And please chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 to help RANDPAC marshal conservatives nationwide through email, direct mail, online and social media ads.
Would you like to pay taxes to use services like Facebook, Google, iTunes, or Netflix?

And after you sign your petition, please chip in with $10, $15, or more to help fight back against the Internet Sales Tax right away.
The Internet is one of the greatest inventions of our time – and it's one of the last marketplaces where individuals can purchase goods and services with limited government intrusion.
That's why I hope you will help today in keeping the Internet as free from government interference as much as possible.
You see, under the Internet Sales Tax:
*** Obama's Federal Government will use the IRS to force online retailers to pay for their new revenue scheme, all while raising costs for consumers.
*** Tax collectors in one state will have the backing of the Federal Government and the IRS to pursue retailers across state lines.
*** Many of your favorite sites will be flooded out of business due to a tidal wave of new and higher taxes and regulations that threaten the Internet as we know it.
We should be lowering taxes. Not raising them.
But that will not happen unless I receive your support.
Will you stand by while Obama's IRS and big-government politicians in both parties continue to dig their hands in your pocket?
Or will you sign your No Internet Sales Tax petition telling your Congressman and Senators ENOUGH is ENOUGH?
And after you sign, please consider sending your maximum contribution of $100, $500, or $35 to help me mobilize Americans in our fight against the Internet Sales Tax.
If we don't stop the Internet Sales Tax scheme, every consumer in the country will feel the crippling effects as Congress takes a massive chunk out of American prosperity.
Your support will help alert hundreds of thousands of Americans on the nature of this battle, all while putting pressure on my counterparts in the House and Senate, demanding they vote NO on the Internet Sales Tax.
That's why your support is crucial.
This won't be easy.
But your support is what we need to win.
Please act IMMEDIATELY.
Sincerely,
Steve Stockman
United States Congressman
They are on the attack again.
And this time, members of both parties are the problem.
Of course, the only thing big-government politicians love more than spending your money is taking away more of it.
Are you prepared to pay taxes to use online services like Google, Facebook, Ebay or Netflix?
How about surrendering even more money to help finance ObamaCare?
If your answer is a resounding NO, then please keep reading.
President Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and unfortunately even a number of Republicans are looking at a new source of "revenue" through the Internet Sales Tax.
Of course, when tax-and-spend politicians introduce controversial legislation, they make sure to give it a name that'll be more receptive to taxpayers.
That's why they're calling it the "Marketplace Fairness Act" in an attempt to hide its obvious implications from you.
But make no mistake. Nothing about this big-government boondoggle is "fair."
You see, the Internet Sales Tax would hand the Federal Government massive new controls over state tax policies and set the stage for government at all levels to tax, regulate and track every transaction you make on the Internet.
The Internet Sales Tax would also create an online regulatory nightmare that will wreak havoc on businesses by forcing them to comply with 50 separate tax codes.
That's why it's critical you sign the petition DEMANDING my colleagues in the House and Senate vote "NO" on the Internet Sales Tax.
I'll give you a link in just a moment, but first, let me explain exactly what's at stake.
Tax-and-spend politicians are foaming at the mouth fantasizing about new spending programs they can create by using additional taxpayer dollars.
Today, instead of finding ways to cut spending and reduce taxes to get our economy going again, members of both parties are moving to squeeze even more money from the American people
Money that they intend to use in their efforts to fund and create more government programs like ObamaCare and Medicaid expansion.
The last thing we need is more taxes for the purpose of implementing more government.
That's why it's so critical you sign your No Internet Sales Tax petition.
And after you sign your petition, please chip in with $10, $15, or more to help fight back against the Internet Sales Tax right away.
