From Public Advocate:
I have good news to share with you!
The Homosexual Lobby's attack on my livelihood as a humble public servant has been thrown out of court.
They have been plotting to remove me from office for several years now because of my work as President of Public Advocate.
Liberals cannot stand seeing a pro-Family advocate serving in a public position.
They tell themselves that the majority of Americans support the radical Homosexual Agenda.
So when I stand in front of the news cameras and speak publicly without fear of repercussion -- well it just drive them nuts!
Their most recent effort petitioned a judge to have me fired because of my outspoken defense of real marriage.
Fortunately, their attempts to use the Southern Poverty Law Center's (SPLC) misclassification of Public Advocate as a "Hate Group" failed miserably.
You see, the SPLC added your Public Advocate to their infamous Hate Map over two years ago for our efforts to defend real marriage.
However, my lawyers subpoenaed the SPLC to justify -- for the first time -- how they prove a group is a "hate group."
And they were exposed for their baseless accusation.
Because the truth is, there is no impartial basis for their "Hate List."
The SPLC targets any group that disagrees with their radical Leftist agenda.
Through it all, I refused to back down to the liberal threats.
And just this week, the independent investigator and the judge both agreed that the charges were groundless and dismissed the case.
Thank you for always supporting me.
And thank you for being brave enough to stand up for the Family!
For the Family,
HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.
P.S. Will you chip in $5 or $10 to help Public Advocate fight against anti-Family radicals like the SPLC?

Interview with Kim Jung Un
North Korea on Wednesday denounced a new Hollywood comedy about an assassination bid on leader Kim Jong-Un as a "wanton act of terror" and warned of a "merciless response" unless the US authorities banned the film.
"The Interview" stars Seth Rogen and James Franco as two celebrity journalists who land an interview with Kim and are then tasked by the CIA with killing him.
The film is due to be released in the United States on October 14.
In a statement carried by North Korea's official KCNA news agency, a foreign ministry spokesman said the film was the work of "gangster moviemakers" and should never be shown.
"The act of making and screening such a movie that portrays the attack on our top leadership... is a most wanton act of terror and act of war, and is absolutely intolerable," the spokesman said.
In his statement, he called on the US administration to ban the film from being screened and warned that failure to do so would trigger a "resolute and merciless response".
It is not the first time Hollywood has poked fun at a North Korean leader.
In the 2004 satirical action comedy "Team America," Kim's father Kim Jong-Il was portrayed as a speech-impaired, isolated despot.

I thought this was fucking funny. Journalists can usually find these terrorists easier than the military can so why not have Green Berets among the journalists to do the job to save the United States.

Prove Hillary Clinton wrong
From Rand 2016:
“We cannot let a minority of people, and that’s what it is, it is a minority of people, hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people."
After I read these comments from Hillary Clinton about the failed attempt to ram a national gun registration scheme through Congress, I had to scoop my jaw up from off the floor.
Even after a grassroots tsunami swamped the Senate and defeated President Obama's gun control, Big Government politicians refused to recognize the reality.
Anti-Second Amendment politicians won't abandon their desire to infringe on our rights.
You and I will have to defeat them at the ballot box.
The June 30 reporting deadline represents a mile marker on the road to the midterm elections.
And the D.C. political class is fidgeting in their seats waiting for me to turn in my report.
You see, President Obama's failed foreign policy and the job-killing ObamaCare scheme have whipped up a toxic political climate for Democrats.
So while November is shaping up to be a good election for conservatives, promise must be converted to results.
And turning in the strongest end of quarter report possible will set off a signal no one in Washington can ignore.
That's why it's crucial you chip in a contribution of $10 or $20 right away.
Prove Hillary Clinton wrong and demonstrate that defending the Second Amendment and the rest of our conservative values represent the majority in America.
So please chip in contribution to my end of quarter push and help send a message that constitutional conservatives are ready to win in November.
In Liberty,
Senator Rand Paul
P.S. June 30th is rapidly approaching. This is the End of Quarter Fundraising Deadline. Immediately following, I must turn in my financial report for the last quarter.
And I can promise you, all eyes will be on you and me during that critical time.
Your action, standing with me over the past several months, has made an enormous impact in Washington, D.C.
But politicians in Washington, D.C. have short memories. That’s why I need you to prove to them you’re still in my corner.
So please agree to help me turn in the strongest report possible on June 30th by chipping in a contribution of $10 or at least $20 TODAY!

Force the issue on Audit The Fed
From Campaign For Liberty:
On Friday, Campaign for Liberty Chairman Ron Paul sent newly elected GOP House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy a letter urging him to hold a vote on Audit the Fed.
Dr. Paul’s letter reminded Majority Leader-elect McCarthy that nearly 75% of Americans support a Fed audit, and that H.R. 24 is cosponsored by a bipartisan House majority.
However, since Eric Cantor will remain as Majority Leader until July 31, you and I must make sure he knows grassroots Americans are demanding he schedule a vote on Audit the Fed before he steps down.
It is also important your senators know you expect them to stand with Senator Rand Paul and force Harry Reid to schedule a roll call vote on Audit the Fed.
So please read Dr. Paul’s email below about C4L’s efforts to get a House vote on Audit the Fed.
After you read Dr. Paul's email, please be sure to sign your Audit the Fed petition right away, if you haven’t yet done so.
In Liberty,
John Tate
President
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
P.S. Now that a majority of the U.S. House has cosponsored H.R. 24, the Audit the Fed bill, it’s time for House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor to stop protecting Harry Reid and schedule a vote!

Rand Paul endorses Steve Daines
From Senator Rand Paul:
There's no two ways about it...
...Montana's nationally-watched U.S. Senate race is central to the GOP's efforts to remove Harry Reid from power and stop President Obama's liberal agenda dead in its tracks.
That's why I'm writing to you today on behalf of Montana's Republican U.S. Senate candidate, Congressman Steve Daines.
I want to encourage you to join with me in whole-heartedly supporting his Senate campaign today.
Whether it's $2,600, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $70, or $35, your immediate gift will ensure Steve has the resources he needs to defeat the Reid-Obama-Democrats' handpicked opponent and join me fighting for limited government in the U.S. Senate in 2014.
Always true to his conservative Montana roots, Steve Daines is never afraid to vote his conscience – even when the leaders of both parties pressure him to throw in the towel.
So it's no surprise that from the moment he took office, Steve Daines has been a strong ally in the House.
He was among the first house members to support my filibuster against illegal domestic drone strikes, cast a "no" vote on raising the debt limit, and supports the full repeal of ObamaCare.
Steve Daines' 28 years of leadership in building businesses and creating jobs gives him invaluable experience in dealing with economic and spending issues that we debate in Congress.
And to show you just how committed he is to fixing America, the very first bill Steve ever introduced was the Balanced Budget Accountability Act, which would terminate pay for members of Congress each year they fail to pass a balanced budget on time.
Steve Daines has also proven himself an important ally for those of us who care about the 2nd Amendment, right to life of the unborn, energy independence, and much, much more.
But my friend, while the majority of Montanans support Steve Daines' honest conservative leadership, Harry Reid won't let this race slip through his fingers without a fight.
And he and the President are willing to use any and every dirty trick in the book to win...
...President Obama even went so far as to appoint retiring Democrat Senator Max Baucus Ambassador to China so Montana's Democrat Governor could appoint Steve's opponent to serve out the remaining year in office and get an unearned fundraising advantage in this race!
That's why it's so important for you and me to give Steve Daines an extra shot of support in his U.S. Senate bid today.
Make no mistake: the chances of the GOP retaking the Senate from Harry Reid without a victory in Montana are slim to none.
So regardless of the exact amount – be it $2,600, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $70, or $35 – Steve is counting on you to be as generous as we possibly can today.
I look forward to seeing your name on his list of top supporters very soon!
For Liberty,
United States Senator Rand Paul

P.S. Americans from my home state of Kentucky all the way to Montana who believe in limited government and liberty need Steve Daines in the U.S. Senate – especially with a GOP victory in this race giving us majority control!

Congress cuts funding for NSA spying
From Fight For The Future:
You did it! Late last night -- after they were bombarded by calls from FFTF members and many others -- the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to cut funding for some of the NSA’s most nefarious backdoor spying programs.
There’s no question about it. The tides are turning. We didn’t just win this vote, we won it by a landslide. 293-123.
Our movement is showing it’s power, and organized Internet users are once again proving to be a more formidable force than the U.S. government (or any of the pundits) expected.
Read more about what these amendments mean for you, and what the next steps are in our ongoing fight to end all forms of mass surveillance.
We still have a long way to go. No matter what happens in Congress, we will need to continue our Reset the Net effort to secure the web through technology. As we know all too well, governments often bend and break the rules they set for themselves, and so far the reforms on the table in Congress don’t do nearly enough to protect the rights of people outside the U.S.
But one thing is certain: we are gaining ground, and the NSA is losing it. We’re beating them back with technology, pushing politicians to cut their funding, and dragging their secretive programs out into the sunlight for all to see.
This vote in congress didn't happen by magic. So many of us have spoken out in the last year and made it clear in no uncertain terms that mass surveillance is not okay. Our movement has become too big for Congress to ignore. We forced them to go on record supporting change.
Click here to get the full story, and share this sweet victory with your friends.
We still have much work to do, but today is a day worth celebrating! More soon.
Sincerely,
-Tiffiniy, Holmes, and Evan
