Dear Liberty Activist,

The FEC has launched a pair of investigations on Campaign for Liberty.
Both are meritless, but could seriously disrupt our growing program.

Please read Campaign for Liberty President John Tate's letter below and stand with us.

This is exactly the type of government action to quell liberty that I have spent my life opposing.

Sincerely,


Congressman Ron Paul

Dear Friend of Liberty,

The best way to know you are succeeding in changing Washington is when
you get attacked by the FEC.


And attack us they have!

I'm writing you this letter today not to scare you or to cry
wolf. I'm writing to let you know that our success has its price, and
that price right now is the wrath of the Obama Administration and its
attack dogs at the Federal Election Commission.

I urge you to read this message and then sign the
Declaration of Support (in which I ask for your advice on a critical
legal and moral question), as we are forced into battle with federal
agencies and
courts.



You see, this isn't theoretical.
They've already come after us in multiple cases, alleging that Campaign
for Liberty has acted illegally merely by putting the candidates on the
record
and reporting their positions.

My attorneys tell me we are under a gag rule and cannot go in to
too many details or even tell you with what we have been charged and
where the charges originated.


But I can say there have been at least two complaints filed in two
different states against our issue discussion activities.


They claim we are in violation of various FEC rules and laws.

Their allegations are completely false. And we must fight back now, or they
will win and be able to silence our movement.

You see, the Washington, D.C. establishment doesn't like to be challenged. They hate it when we fight back.

They are absolutely BESIDE themselves when we are winning.

In less than 2 years, your Campaign for Liberty has
become a major force on the American political landscape.


I can give you a list of our accomplishments, talk about our growth (we are approaching half a
million members),
and show you press coverage from across the nation on our efforts.

But nothing shows our
success more than how our enemies react when challenged.

When that happens, they do what
they do best: use the power of the federal government to attack us.

They want to do one of two things: shut us up, or shut us down.

This battle is over a very
fundamental
idea - that Campaign for Liberty and our members should have a voice in
lobbying their legislators and exposing the radical views of candidates
for
office.

Exposing what they're up to - that's what the powers that be can't stand.
That's because they don't want Americans to know:

** Congress is spending at
a record pace and has now left us over 13 TRILLION dollars in
debt, with no end in sight.


** The out of control FED has not accounted
for nearly 2 trillion dollars and has doubled our monetary base, risking
our
entire economy.

** The federal government has imposed a mandate that every American either purchase a health care product the Feds approve
of, costing tens of thousands of dollars, or risk fines and jail time.


** The federal government has attempted to take away your 1st, 2nd and 4th
Amendment
rights, all in the past year, with more certainly to come.

We're exposing them - and holding them accountable as they come back home to seek reelection.

Of course, this may not sound
like the end of the world. But just think: the FEC has an ARMY of
lawyers and a budget of nearly $70 MILLION dollars.


That's a lot of lawyers.

And add to it the fact that this group of people is adamantly against free speech under the First Amendment, and
well, you have a recipe for trouble.


Subpeonas. Depositions. Fishing expeditions that cover tens
of thousands of documents.

Legal fees just to defend our right to free speech.

Thousands of hours of staff time to comply with their demands.

You can see where this is going.

If FEC radicals succeed, I will
not even be allowed to tell you and your neighbors how candidates for
the House
and Senate (or for President in the future) have voted on Liberty
issues, so you can put the heat on them when they are most likely to
listen.

Let me explain that a bit more.

For the first time ever, there is a nationwide group that is dedicated
to holding politicians accountable for their votes on Liberty issues.




It's Campaign for Liberty, and our over
450,000 members are doing battle across the country to hold the
politicians' feet
to the fire.

Whether it is getting more than 300 sponsors for Audit the Fed, or
lobbying
to stop Cap and Tax and Real ID schemes, Campaign for Liberty is making a
difference.

And we're prepared to make an even bigger difference this fall, as the time comes
to inform the people where their candidates stand.


So the statists in Washington are out to make sure that doesn't happen.


Their main weapon is the Federal Election Commission.

The FEC has always been against free speech and a tool of the powerful elite in Washington, who
desperately seek to hang on to power.


But as bad as the FEC has been since
its inception, with the Obama Administration in power, you and I face
even more
aggressive assaults on our free speech.

My attorneys have warned me that the puppets at
the Federal Election Commission are ordering me to stop mobilizing
hundreds of thousands of Americans against power grabs in Congress.


In doing so, they are trying to cripple our ability to stop dangerous legislation in
Congress. If we continue to oppose these Liberty-stealing bills as we
have in the past, I face the danger of multimillion-dollar fines and
even
a jail term!

In fact, I may even be questioned in court for writing this letter
tonight.

I must make a decision soon. Should I allow the Federal Election
Commission to tie my hands during this crucial election year?

Or should I defy their gag-rule regulations . . . and face prosecution from the out of control
federal authorities for exercising our right to political speech?


Please give me your answer by filling out the Declaration of Support.

If you and other members want me to proceed
with our efforts to inform the public of the positions of your
candidates on Liberty issues, and to oppose legislation in the Congress
(and I hope you
do), I will also need your financial help.

So please consider making a generous contribution - even if you can only afford
to
chip in $10 - to help Campaign for...

The fact is the enemies of Liberty are preparing for a political attack far more serious
than their election power grab of 2008, in which they put in power some
of
the biggest enemies of freedom and promoters of Big Government in a
generation.

Our program to stop more statist takeovers in Congress is
simple. By mobilizing our grassroots army, we can put a lot of heat on
individual Congressmen and Senators.

The FEC insists we can't do that during election
years.

They say by telling you where your Congressman and Senators
stand, I may influence your vote. The FEC election regulators contend
that's illegal electioneering.

Basically, government bureaucrats and their out of
control regulations insist I dismantle our lobbying operation during
election years
-- precisely at the time it would have its greatest impact.

Top legal experts tell me that this harassment by the FEC and any attempts to shut down our program violate
several decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court and are flatly
unconstitutional.

But they also warn me that if I challenge the FEC ruling, I may face a huge,
tax-funded lawsuit which could stretch on for decades and cost us as
much as a million dollars.


In addition to potential million-dollar fines and legal penalties, I
also face an enormous funding challenge.

Our program to fight back in Congress will require at
least $3.2 million.

So there are a lot of decisions to make, and I wanted to be sure I have
your support as we move forward.


If I am to proceed with this effort (which I am
hoping you will allow), I will need more than just your authorization.
I will need your financial support as well.

I'm hoping you will be able to help with a special contribution
- even if you can only afford
to
chip in $10 - to help Campaign for...

Every dollar, every quarter, every dime will be used to defeat dangerous
Liberty-stealing schemes in Congress and in all 50 states.

, please respond soon.

This is one of the most far-reaching
questions I have ever had to pose to you. The future of Campaign for
Liberty is at stake.

If our people are heard, I am sure Liberty will once again thrive in our
country. And we are making great strides in even just the past year.

So please, act today. If you believe our voices should be heard, and that the federal
government CANNOT be allowed to silence them, it's vital you answer
today.

Please fill out your Declaration of Support, and consider
making a ...

Thank you for all you do for Liberty.

In Liberty,

John Tate

President
