Help Ron Paul fight government tyranny

From Campaign For Liberty:

For decades, I've been warning about the dangers of U.S. government surveillance programs being used against American citizens.

Of course, snoop-state insiders laughed at me every time I raised concerns about allowing the federal government to read the emails, monitor the online activity, and seize the phone records of Americans without obtaining a warrant.

But no one is laughing now . . .

That's why I'm counting on you to sign your Fourth Amendment Pledge of Support to show you stand with Campaign for Liberty on this issue IMMEDIATELY.

I'll give you the link in a moment, but first let me explain why it's critical you and I stop federal snoops from casting fishing nets over the lives, histories, and data of hardworking Americans.

As I'm sure you know, last week, news reports revealed that Barack Obama's National Security Agency (NSA) has been snooping through the emails and phone records of millions of Americans each and every day.

And the information that's surfaced so far is disturbing to say the least:

*** The NSA is collecting and storing HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of U.S. phone records;

*** The NSA is gathering audio, video, email, photographic, and Internet search usage of Americans who use major providers such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Yahoo;

*** Overall, the NSA collected 97 BILLION pieces of intelligence from computer networks in March 2013 alone and three billion pieces of intelligence from U.S. computer networks over a 30-day period.

If you agree that Barack Obama's out-of-control NSA must be stopped, please sign your Fourth Amendment Pledge of Support to show you stand with Campaign for Liberty on this issue IMMEDIATELY.

There's not a moment to waste.

Already, knee-jerk defenders of the police state are circling the wagons around Barack Obama's illegal wiretapping and surveillance of American citizens.

In fact, Senator Lindsey Graham said he's "glad" the government was seizing Verizon customers' phone records - including his own - because it needed to know "what the enemy was up to."

Unlike Senator Graham, I don't believe the government needs to know more about what innocent Americans are doing in their daily lives.

Instead, you and I need to know more about what Barack Obama's NSA is up to.

You see, not only does the NSA's snooping program violate the Fourth Amendment freedoms of the American people, but it also opens the door for massive fraud and abuse.

Think about it.

The government is looking at every Internet click, every email, and every phone call, and they're using phone GPS systems to track Americans.

Here's how the NSA's program works.

There's a computer program with an algorithm written to analyze the massive amount of data coming in and determine whether or not someone fits the description of a terrorist and should be watched.

If the program labels you a potential threat, then snoop-state insiders can access your emails, phone calls, and other private records to see what you've been doing.

After Barack Obama's IRS recently got caught targeting those who oppose his Big Government policies, and Eric Holder's Department of Justice was found to be seizing the phone records of reporters, why should the American people trust bureaucrats in the federal government to protect their Fourth Amendment freedoms?

How long before someone changes the program to target gun owners?

How long before the program is tweaked to target people based on voting records and political beliefs?

I don't know about you, but I don't want to find out.

That's why I'm counting on you to sign your Fourth Amendment Pledge of Support to Campaign for Liberty IMMEDIATELY.

With your help, Campaign for Liberty can send powerful emails and run Facebook and Internet banner ads to shine a public spotlight on the NSA's wiretapping, eavesdropping, and spying on American citizens.

But I'm afraid that simply won't be enough.

Campaign for Liberty staff tells me if they pull out all the stops, there's an additional twelve million folks they can reach through targeted direct mail and phone programs.

And finally, if they can raise the resources, Campaign for Liberty would also like to run hard-hitting newspaper, radio, and TV ads explaining exactly what Barack Obama and the rest of the snoop-state insiders at the NSA are up to.

The American people are in shock over the NSA's surveillance program - and they're looking for answers.

And since you and I have been sounding the alarm for years about the government spying on American citizens, this is a real opportunity to reach out and bring more individuals into our Liberty Movement.

So please sign your Fourth Amendment Pledge of Support to Campaign for Liberty.

Don't let Barack Obama's mouthpieces in the media get away with sweeping this issue under the rug.

Please sign your Fourth Amendment Pledge of Support to Campaign for Liberty right away.

In Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. Last week, news reports revealed that Barack Obama's National Security Agency (NSA) has been snooping through the emails and phone records of millions of Americans each and every day.

Of course, in typical statist fashion, knee-jerk defenders of the police state are circling the wagons around Barack Obama and his NSA.

You and I must not allow snoop-state insiders to sweep this issue under the rug.

That's why I'm counting on you to sign your Fourth Amendment Pledge of Support to show you stand with Campaign for Liberty on this issue IMMEDIATELY.

Let's get Congress to investigate the NSA

From Fight For The Future:

Hey, have you been watching the news?

The entire world is talking about the leaked documents -- and the interview with heroic whistleblower Edward Snowden -- that show definitive proof that the U.S. Government has been using the Internet to watch, record, and track huge numbers of innocent people from every corner of the globe. They have our phone calls, know where we are, and what we'll be doing.

It’s illegal. It’s unconstitutional. And it’s just plain wrong. Click here to demand that Congress investigate and reign-in NSA surveillance.

The revelations about the National Security Agency -- the secret courts, gag orders, mass untargeted wiretapping, monitoring of the Internet -- read more like a dystopian novel than real news headlines.

Obama is defending the program. The companies are denying knowledge of it. There’s so much we still don’t know about the extent of the government’s unconstitutional intrusions into our lives.

That’s why we need a full investigation. These leaks have sparked national outrage and we have this one chance to turn that anger into action and demand that Congress publicly investigate the NSA’s illegal spying operations.

This is a watershed moment for this country. As you talk to your friends and family about what the government is watching, this is the time to think about how important privacy is --- what thoughts and ideas would go away if you didn't have privacy, what opinions, what crushes, what business idea, what art, and what important movements would never have started.

We’ve been working round the clock this weekend to prepare this (with partners like the EFF, Free Press, Demand Progress, Mozilla and many more). We hope this effort can help your conversations and that you will share it.

Sincerely,

Holmes, Tiffiniy, Evan and the FFTF team

P.S. You need to watch this interview with Edward Snowden if you haven’t already; it’s just breathtaking. Then tell the government to StopWatching.us

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

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

Can I count on your help?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Trust us," they say.

I also know their promises of safety can be tantalizing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Actually, it proves quite the opposite.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But I can't do that without your help.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In liberty,

Senator Rand Paul

Tell Congress not to bail out big labor

From the National Right To Work Committee:

Could the Obama presidency -- embroiled in scandal after scandal -- be crumbling before our eyes?

Today, Congress is going back into session after a one-week recess, and I can promise you the union bosses aren’t waiting around to find out.

After spending hundreds of millions of forced-dues dollars to install and reinstall President Obama in the White House, Big Labor is DEMANDING payback NOW on their entire radical agenda (while they believe they can still get it).

And as for President Obama, you and I both know desperate men do desperate things.

So as you’ll see, I’ve created a special NO BIG LABOR BAILOUT petition to your U.S. representative and senators that is absolutely critical you sign IMMEDIATELY.

Without your action, I’m afraid the union bosses could end up getting EVERYTHING they want. . .

I know there’s no telling where the Obama Administration’s IRS or reporter wiretapping disgraces will lead.

But Attorney General Eric Holder is now being fingered for perjury charges.

And President Obama is claiming he knew nothing about the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups -- even after meeting with the IRS head more than 160 times!

That’s nearly DOUBLE the visits of any member of Obama’s cabinet!

I don’t know about you, but I smell a rat.

And you and I both know Big Labor didn’t unload its campaign war chest to re-elect President Obama to a second term to walk away empty handed.

But the union bosses are seeing the same news reports you and I are -- and growing more worried by the second.

That’s why the union bosses are doing everything they can to grab an IMMEDIATE and massive “return” on their “investment,” including:

*** Confirmation of Obama Labor Secretary nominee Thomas Perez, who used his power as Maryland’s Secretary of Labor to grease the skids for childcare provider unionization, hand political appointments to Big Labor bedfellows and intimidate and pressure employers on behalf of Communication Workers of America union bosses;

*** NLRB “package deal” confirmation by the U.S. Senate, so the five-member Big Labor-controlled board could instantly move to consent to the 1,600 outrageous union-label decisions made while Obama’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL “recess appointments” were controlling the board;

*** Police and Firefighter Forced Unionism, which would establish national union control over police and firefighters as a precursor to the forced unionization by federal fiat of ALL state and local public employees.

When this bill was last voted on in the U.S. House in 2007, nearly 100 House Republicans supported the legislation!

I’m afraid union bosses are banking on the same thing this year to go along with easy passage in the Senate.

Worse, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is publicly discussing the possibility of imposing the “nuclear option” -- BANNING the Senate filibuster for presidential appointments.

With a 55-45 Senate majority, that would mean virtually ANY radical nominee President Obama puts up for any position (including the Supreme Court) would be rubber-stamped by the U.S. Senate without a second thought.

Not only that, but it would set the stage for the total destruction of the Senate filibuster and passage of Big Labor’s number-one priority -- “Card Check!”

If passed, “Card Check” would strip workers of their right to a secret ballot election and FORCE hundreds of thousands of small businesses and millions of workers under union boss control.

That’s why signing your NO BIG LABOR BAILOUT petition is so urgent.

You see, the Obama Administration’s scandals have outraged many Americans -- regardless of political persuasion.

So some experts are predicting they’re setting up union-label Democrats for a massive shellacking in 2014 . . .

So I’m worried some GOP leaders in BOTH houses of Congress could be thinking it’ll just be that much bigger if they bail out the union bosses with a legislative bone or two and “move to the center.”

And there’s no telling what the union bosses are promising behind closed doors right now.

That’s why your decisive action is so critical.

I’m afraid these fights are going to move FAST.

I know when I first got wind of President Obama’s scandals, I didn’t think for a second they’d end up putting you and me in a more dangerous situation.

But unfortunately that’s EXACTLY where you and I find ourselves.

And you and I simply MUST fight back.

So please sign your NO BIG LABOR BAILOUT petition immediately.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

P.S. Congress goes back into session today to find scandals still enveloping the Obama White House.

So after spending hundreds of millions of forced-dues dollars to install and reinstall President Obama in the White House, Big Labor is DEMANDING payback NOW on their entire radical agenda (while they believe they can still get it).

Worse, I'm afraid the union bosses could end up getting EVERYTHING they want.

A father's plea

From Demand Progress:

Over the past five months, I have been heartened to see the memory of my son galvanizing such a powerful movement for change. I can tell you, it's what Aaron would have wanted.

It has been your efforts that have led some lawmakers to pursue an investigation of Aaron's vindictive, cruel and disproportionate prosecution. When the Justice Department appeared before the Judiciary Committee to discuss Aaron's case, Senators Patrick Leahy, John Cornyn, and Al Franken all pushed for answers. And for that they deserve thanks.

Click here to join me in thanking these Senators for their efforts and urge them to keep pushing for answers about Aaron's unjust prosecution.

At the request of these senators, the Department of Justice recently briefed Senate Judiciary Committee staffers on their prosecution of Aaron -- but more questions remain.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: my son was destroyed by a system and prosecutors that still don’t understand the nature of what they did.

They destroyed my son by their callousness and inflexibility.

Click here to thank those lawmakers who've aided our effort to expose the absurd and abusive nature of Aaron's prosecution.

The work of changing that system -- of getting answers to our unanswered questions about Aaron's prosectution -- remains before us.

For now, it's important that those lawmakers who've already joined our cause know that we are thankful, and that we will continue to stand with them as they use their power to hold the DOJ to account and seek justice for Aaron.

Click here to join me in thanking them for pursuing the investigation, and let them know that we'll stand with them as they keep pressing forward.

Thank you,

Bob Swartz

The government is spying on you

From Demand Progress:

It's an outrage: The Guardian has obtained long sought-after evidence of the extent of ongoing spying on Americans under the PATRIOT Act -- and it's as bad as we'd worried.

The National Security Agency is currently collecting the telephone records of millions of US customers of Verizon, one of America's largest telecoms providers, under a top secret court order issued in April.

The order, a copy of which has been obtained by the Guardian, requires Verizon on an "ongoing, daily basis" to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the US and between the US and other countries.

Click here to demand that the Congress investigate -- and put an end to -- this spying right away!

The government is continuing -- and expanding -- egregious spying and other infringement on our civil liberties that began under the Bush administration. And enough is enough!

Please sign on to our petition to the House Oversight Committee and Senate Judiciary Committee to demand an immediate investigation of this spying.

Just click here to tell Congress to investigate -- and end -- the spying right now!

Petition:click here

From Fight For The Future:

A leaked document proves that the US government is tracking call information and caller location for every American who uses Verizon. And probably every other carrier as well.

The top secret court ruling -- obtained by The Guardian -- shows that the NSA forced Verizon to hand over the records of every single customer’s phone calls “on an ongoing, daily basis.” Sounds like dystopian sci-fi? Read the ruling for yourself, it’s only 3 pages.

This confirms what we and other digital rights organizations have been saying for years: the U.S. Government’s domestic surveillance programs are completely out of control.

Help us send a message so strong it can’t be ignored. This indiscriminate spying on innocent Americans must stop immediately, and those responsible should be prosecuted for violating the Constitution.

The Obama administration responded this morning, saying it’s a tool to monitor “suspected terrorists”. But they weren’t monitoring terrorists; they were monitoring every Verizon customer and--most likely--every single American with a cellphone.

This new revelation could really be the last straw, the thing that grabs the public’s attention and catalyzes a new movement for protecting our Constitutional rights online. But tons of people still haven’t even heard the news.

We’ll be building out this site and adding updates all day. If you only take action on one thing this year, this should be it. This is outrageous and straight forward enough that your Grandma will want to sign it. Tell everyone. We need to draw a line in the sand to protect our rights.

More on this soon.

Sincerely,

Holmes Wilson
