We defeated the National Internet SalesTax Mandate

From Campaign For Liberty:

The tax-hikers are furious at you!

That's because -- thanks to our dedicated supporters -- Campaign for Liberty has prevented the National Internet Sales Tax Mandate from passing in the Lame-Duck Congress.

Thank you!

As you know, Congress' lame-duck session is a dangerous time -- when Liberty is most vulnerable to attack!

When Congressmen don't have to worry about re-election, they're most vulnerable to trading votes for personal gain.

But Campaign for Liberty and its supporters overwhelmed Congress with a barrage of phone calls and tens of thousands of fax-petitions.

With your help Campaign for Liberty made it impossible for Congressmen to ignore their constituents.

The National Internet Sales Tax Mandate is backed by some of the most powerful special interests in the country, making Campaign for Liberty's success is all the more remarkable.

And Campaign for Liberty was the only organization to mobilize opposition against this tax.

On Friday, I heard from a Congressional staffer whose boss shares our opposition to the National Internet Sales Tax Mandate:

"Campaign for Liberty has been crucial in the battle to stop the National Internet Sales Tax Mandate. Please make sure your members know how crucial their efforts were in stopping this new tax!"

Even in the face of behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing, Campaign for Liberty managed to prevent the National Internet Sales Tax Mandate from even hitting the House or Senate floors!

But none of this would have been possible without the support of Liberty-minded individuals like you.

This is an enormous victory for Liberty, and one that sends a message to Big Government cronies trying to sneak legislation through back channels.

While this is certainly a cause for celebration, it's equally important we don't let our guard down.

There will always be Big Government shills trying to make their fortunes by restricting our liberties, and while we may have sent them packing this time...

...They are still skulking in the shadows, waiting for the next opportunity to chip away at our Constitutional rights and line their pockets.

That's why I want to say "Thank You!" But I also hope that you will continue to stand with Campaign for Liberty.

Without Liberty-minded individuals like you, Big Government lobbyists would be the ones celebrating today.

It has been a long, hard road but thanks to hard-working activists like you, we earned victory over the National Internet Sales Tax Mandate.

I hope we can count on your support in the future.

Thank you for all that you've done.

In Liberty,

Norm Singleton
President

P.S. With the support of Liberty-minded individuals like you, Campaign for Liberty has claimed victory over the National Internet Sales Tax Mandate!

Campaign for Liberty overwhelmed Congress with a barrage of phone calls and tens of thousands of fax-petitions.

As the only voice on Capitol Hill decrying the National Internet Sales Tax Mandate, Campaign for Liberty made it impossible for Congressmen to ignore their constituents.

Although this is a huge victory for Liberty, it is important that we don't rest on our laurels.

With Big Government lobbyists already plotting their next assault on our Constitutional rights, I hope you'll consider chipping in $25 or $10 to help us prepare for the coming battles in 2017.

A thank you from NORML

From The National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws:

Without a doubt, the landslide winner on Election Day was marijuana law reform. We legalized an adult's right to consume marijuana in Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, and California. We legalized patients' access in Arkansas and North Dakota, and we expanded their access in Florida and Montana. With resounding victories in red and blue states, it is clear that marijuana legalization enjoys mainstream, bipartisan support among the American people.

Over 20 percent of Americans reside in jurisdictions where the adult use of marijuana is legal. Well over half of US states now authorize the medical use of marijuana. But we must sustain these gains.

Now is the time to double down in our reform efforts. Not only do we need to ensure that our hard fought victories are upheld, but we also must push forward to expand the marijuana revolution elsewhere.

Our work is far from done and NORML plans on fighting harder than ever before to ensure that responsible marijuana consumers like you no longer face prosecution, stigmatization, or discrimination. But we need your help to ensure 2017 is our most successful year yet.
Your donation helps us mobilize the grassroots in cities and states to apply pressure to elected officials, to buy advertising to increase citizens awareness of the benefits of legalization, to provide legal support to assure that these new laws are implemented in a timely and proper manner, to host educational events across the country to defeat the reefer madness rhetoric being spread by the likes of Project SAM and Kevin Sabet, and to have a potent presence in Washington, DC to lobby Congress and the incoming administration to not upend these successful state programs and to amend federal law to comport with marijuana's rapidly changing legal and cultural status.
Can we count on you to stand with us?


Thanks to NORML and other organizations nationwide that got recreational or medical marijuana legalized in their states. As the newsletter states we had a lot of problems with the prohibitionists but we overcame them and we prevailed. We prevailed over a mountain of lies and scare tactics that in the light of reason are a spit in the face in the intelligence of the American voter and the American voters saw through their lies and deceptions. The only place that failed to get recreational marijuana passed was Arizona. Perhaps next time NORML can concentrate on getting recreational marijuana legalized there as well. No one should be arrested,prosecuted and incarcerated for marijuana. No one.

Thank the Congressman for starting the impeachment process against John Koskinen

From Freedom Works:

This week hasn’t been good for Obama and his cronies at the IRS. House conservatives took the first step on the path to impeaching IRS Commissioner John Koskinen and voted to protect you from being unfairly targeted by the IRS.

This happened because principled conservatives, like you, rose up and demanded Congress rein in the IRS. And true conservative congressmen like Jim Jordan, Tim Huelskamp, Barry Loudermilk, and Ron DeSantis fought to make sure this happened. Please, take :30s to thank these conservative champions by signing our special “thank you” card today.

In Washington, conservatives have few allies. And, that’s why it’s so important we say thank you to the men and women who stand up and fight for our values each and every day. Thank them right now by signing our special “thank you” card here.

For Freedom,

Adam Brandon
President & CEO, FreedomWorks

Thank the Senate Republicans for stopping Obama's nominee for the SCOTUS

From Freedom Works:

Despite being constantly attacked by almost every liberal group in the country most Senate Republicans are still standing strong. The left has tried everything from bashing them in the media to protesting outside their offices, and they haven’t caved to their demands. It takes a lot of guts to stand strong in the face of such adversity and that’s why they deserve our thanks. Send these Senate Republicans a message today and thank them for opposing Obama’s Supreme Court scheme.

These Senate Republicans know what’s at stake in this fight. They are the thin red line between decades of liberal judicial activism and freedom. That’s why they’re not backing down, and for that they deserve our thanks. Contact these Senate Republicans and thank them for opposing Obama’s Supreme Court scheme.

Let’s thank the Senate Republicans for fighting to make freedom work.

Victory in the Senate

From Campaign For Liberty:

Today Campaign for Liberty members like you made history!

You see, over the last week, Campaign for Liberty members have flooded the Senate with phone calls demanding they vote for my Audit the Fed bill.

And members like you also provided Campaign for Liberty with the resources necessary to run a series of hard-hitting Internet ads targeting weak-kneed senators.

And THANKS to those efforts, earlier today, a bipartisan majority of the U.S. Senate, 53-44, voted in favor of Audit the Fed!

While we were unable to reach the 60-vote threshold needed to break the filibuster launched by Fed allies like Sherrod Brown (OH), Elizabeth Warren (MA), and Janet Yellen's favorite Republican, Bob Corker (TN), having a majority in the Senate is quite a victory!

And this is only the beginning. Even before the vote was completed, your Campaign for Liberty staff was preparing a two-pronged campaign to make Audit the Fed a huge issue in the upcoming elections, and forcing politicians to either pass Audit the Fed this year... Or face a sea of angry voters in the fall.

Prong one is to go back to the House, and push for a new vote there to pass Audit the Fed. Remember, the House voted overwhelmingly on September 17, 2014 to Audit the Fed, 333-92. That will set the table for another showdown in the Senate, with election day looming.

At the same time, prong two will focus on rallying Campaign for Liberty members and other Americans concerned with the banksters' abuses in the swing Senate seats up for re-election this year. As the late-Senator Everett Dirksen said, "When I feel the heat, I see the light."

So with your continued support, we guarantee to make them "feel the heat."

Your actions got us this far.

Remember, the last time the Senate considered my Audit the Fed bill in 2010, only 37 senators voted yes.

This time, we faced an all-out effort by the Fed and its cronies, including going up against the most powerful big business lobby in D.C., and a PR-blitz unlike any seen before.

It’s important to note, two Democrats who voted for it in 2010, Maria Cantwell (WA) and Ron Wyden (OR) and four who voted for it in 2012 as members of the House -- Joe Donnelly (IN), Martin Heinrich (NM), Mazie Hirono (HI), and Chris Murphy (CT) -- voted “NO” today.

Only Tammy Baldwin (WI) crossed party lines to vote “YES” despite the Democrat Leadership whipping members to vote “NO.”

Please realize that it’s BECAUSE of your efforts that ANY Democrat and 51 Republicans voted for this bill today.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I cannot even begin to thank you enough...

Even though it’s easy to be disappointed we could not ultimately break the filibuster today launched by Fed allies like Sherrod Brown, Elizabeth Warren, and Bob Corker, make no mistake, this vote marks a huge leap toward Fed transparency.

You and I are only SEVEN VOTES away from breaking the filibuster...

(Six votes if you count Senator Ted Cruz, who, despite being an original cosponsor of the bill, decided he had “more important” things to do in New Hampshire.)

I simply can’t emphasize this enough! Having a majority of the U.S. Senate vote for Audit the Fed is DUE to the dedicated efforts of Campaign for Liberty members like you who turned up the heat on the Senate.

In fact, several Senators that we expected to vote “NO” on the bill switched their votes to “YES” after hearing from Campaign for Liberty members!

But this is far from the first time Campaign for Liberty members like you have shocked the political establishment.

When Campaign for Liberty launched its Audit the Fed efforts in 2009 most political experts thought the bill would never reach the House or Senate floor.

But you proved them wrong!

When the House overwhelmingly passed Audit the Fed in 2012, most political experts predicted that Audit the Fed would die with my retirement from Congress.

But you proved them wrong!

When Campaign for Liberty members forced the House to vote on Audit the Fed again in 2014 -- and it passed the House by an even larger margin than it did in 2012, most political experts predicted it would never be voted on in the Senate.

And, once again, you proved them wrong!

Now most experts are predicting that Audit the Fed will never break the 60-vote threshold necessary to break the banksters’ filibuster...

Well, you and I have proven them wrong before, and we can do so again!

As mentioned above, your Campaign for Liberty staff is currently putting together plans for the next step in our fight to Audit the Fed, and I will be sure to share more as soon as I can.

But right now, I wanted to sincerely say “THANK YOU!” from the bottom of my heart for all of your efforts and dedication to the cause of liberty.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. Getting 53 votes on Audit the Fed today was an ENORMOUS achievement and couldn’t have happened without the dedicated support of Campaign for Liberty members like you.

Your Campaign for Liberty staff is already preparing our next step in this crucial fight for Fed transparency.

I’ll be sure to share more details with you soon, but please chip in whatever you can afford today toward our ongoing efforts to Audit the Fed.

A thank you from Rand Paul 2016

From Rand 2016:

Following Tuesday’s debate, we asked for your help to prove Rand won by contributing to our $200,000 moneybomb.

You came through! We made our goal!

I wanted to say a quick thank you. I’m so happy to tell Rand about the flood of support that followed his debate performance.

Rand has been fighting for the policies that matter most.

Opposing the big spending omnibus

Securing a vote on Audit the Fed for just a few weeks from now
Supporting legislation that strengthens American security by further screening for refugees from Jihadists countries
Pushing for stronger 2nd Amendment rights for Americans

And now we see, the American people are jumping on board with Rand.

That’s because conservative solutions really make sense. And they really work.

We're in this race to win it - and we will. Iowa and beyond.

I'm happy to Stand with Rand.

Will you continue to stand with us?

In Liberty,
Doug Stafford

A thank you from Free Press

From Free Press:

Amazing news: On Thursday, the FCC voted to reduce the out-of-control cost of local, in-state and long-distance prison-phone calls — thanks in part to the actions you’ve taken.

For years, many prisoners and their families have had to pay up to $10 or more for a 15-minute phone call thanks to the predatory prices charged by companies like Securus Technologies.

The skyrocketing cost of these calls has made it difficult — sometimes impossible — for families to stay in touch with their loved ones.

Thanks to the leadership of Commissioner Mignon Clyburn, and her colleagues Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel and Chairman Tom Wheeler, the FCC moved again to ensure that predatory prison phone rates don’t prevent families from remaining connected. Yesterday’s vote builds on the reforms the agency adopted during Commissioner Clyburn’s tenure as acting chairwoman in 2013.

As always, the FCC didn’t do it alone. The work of the Campaign for Prison Phone Justice, the Center for Media Justice, the Media Action Grassroots Network, civil rights groups, public interest organizations and thousands of people elevated the voices of inmates and their families in Washington, D.C. — and made it possible for the FCC to take action.

Thank you for showing, once again, that when we collectively raise our voices we can make a difference.

Best,

Lucia, Joseph, Matt, Mary Alice and the rest of the Free Press team
freepress.net

Thank you!


And thank you to everyone who participated in correcting this greedy slimy act by Securus Technologies. This is why people hate corporations.

Your vote counted



From Stop Hillary PAC:

Hillary testifies in front of Trey Gowdy and the Benghazi Committee in less than 24 hours.

Your vote in yesterday's EMERGENCY Membership Directive gave us the overwhelming (virtually unanimous) message DON'T CAVE to Hillary, the Democrats, and the leftist media -- KEEP FIGHTING.

With your help, we are fighting back harder than ever.

So here it is...today -- NOW -- chip in to put up this new, hard-hitting Stop Hillary ad up in front of millions of Americans.

Hillary asks, 'what difference does it make?' We are reminding her -- and America -- it makes a world of difference, because four men are no longer standing.

We've been working for over a year to force Hillary to testify in front of Trey Gowdy.

She still hasn't explained why she ignored Ambassador Stevens' repeated requests for more security.

She still hasn't explained why she deflected blame from terrorists by claiming the attacks were a popular response to an Internet video, when her internal emails show she knew from the beginning that al Qaeda was responsible.

All eyes will be on this hearing, but the Democrats and their media friends will try to spin this Hillary's way.

We cannot let that happen.

That is why we've put together this new ad to follow hot on the heels of our CNN debate ad that Hillary's campaign could only call, "Disgusting."

Sincerely,

Donald
Political Director, Stop Hillary PAC

P.S. I need you with me on this one. That's why I'm personally asking you: click here to chip in and be among the first to watch our hard-hitting ad?

Thank you from Stop Hillary PAC

From Stop Hillary PAC:

My sincerest and deepest gratitude -- thank you for signing the petition to Support Trey Gowdy and our Citizen's Subpoena of Hillary Clinton.

We have gathered over 104,576 signatures for the Subpoena, and next week, we will serve the document in full to Hillary and hand deliver a copy to Congressman Trey Gowdy.

With your invaluable help...we won't let Hillary off the hook. It's all made possible by people like you.

Without you Hillary would skate by on the fast track to becoming president, but with your continued help we are building a road block.

Let me share with you why I have so much hope: in fact, more than 500,000 dedicated patriots like yourself have joined together with Stop Hillary PAC to stop HER.

From the beginning, our goal has been to build an army of 1 million patriots to stand up to Hillary...from every corner and every precinct in America.

**We are half way there because of you.**

So, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Sincerely,

Ted Harvey
Chairman, Stop Hillary PAC

PS. Please, if you're as committed as I am, chip in $5 here to stop Hillary. And again, THANK YOU!

A thank you from Ron Paul

From Campaign For Liberty:

Thank you!

When C4L President John Tate and I first discussed how to respond to the IRS' demand that we turn over information on our major donors, we both believed the majority of our members would want us to fight.

But we had no idea we would receive such tremendous support!

Thanks to the support of C4L members like you, we exceeded our Battle with the IRS blitz goal of raising $110,000!

I and everyone at Campaign for Liberty are grateful and humbled by this outpouring of support, and we are more determined than ever to not give in to the IRS. It is a fight we must wage and a fight we must win.

If the IRS is not challenged, they will use this precedent to intimidate every American who supports organizations dedicated to battling the statist agenda.

Fortunately, Campaign for Liberty has several legal precedents on our side and the support of liberty-loving Americans like you.

I will keep you informed of future developments in this ongoing battle.

Thank you once again for your support of Campaign for Liberty.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. Thanks to the overwhelmingly positive support for Campaign for Liberty's "Battle with the IRS" blitz, we exceeded our goal of raising $110,000!

Now we are more determined than ever to continue resisting the IRS' attempts to force us to divulge confidential donor information.

If the IRS is successful, this precedent will be used to cripple C4L and every other pro-liberty organization in the country.

Thank you again for your support of Campaign for Liberty.

Thank you from Rand Paul

From Rand2016:

Thank you.

That's all I can say in response to your overwhelming support for my end of quarter push.

Thanks to your passion and generosity, you helped me zoom past THREE different goals and raise nearly $300,000.

No matter what battles I've engaged in, I always know you are in my corner and it's you who makes victory possible.

And during my end of quarter push, you made a statement the big government politicians can't ignore.

Nearly doubling the original goal of $150,000 is a clear sign conservatives stand ready to fight and win in 2014.

So please accept my thanks for all of your support in making my end of quarter push a massive success.

In Liberty,

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)

P.S. Please chip in a contribution so I can continue to lead the fight in the Senate for our conservative values.
