$16 trillion missing?

Dear Erick, I ran for the U.S. Senate to end the federal government’s out-of-control spending and solve our debt crisis. But that can't be done until we tackle the source of the problem: the unaccountable Federal Reserve. As long as Ben Bernanke keeps printing money, Barack Obama will keep spending it. You and I need to end that right now. And just like during my campaign, the establishment is stacked against us. But look at what has already been accomplished with you in our corner! Please take a few moments to read the message below from Campaign for Liberty Vice President Matt Hawes and support C4L in this vital effort to rein in the Federal Reserve. For Liberty, Senator Rand Paul Dear Erick, Trillions of dollars have been stolen from U.S. taxpayers. You and I, right now, are seeing the worst plundering of a country's wealth in the history of civilization, led by an out-of-control Federal Reserve. But you and I together CAN put a stop to it all. With your help (including completing the petition to your representative and senators) today, Campaign for Liberty is ready to take the battle straight to the heart of the problem - the Federal Reserve itself. Last year, we came close to enacting a full Audit of the Fed. This year, with more Fed opponents put in office and the economy still reeling, we have our best chance ever. But you must act today. Just think about the scope of the problem. The massive, outrageous amount of dollars recently committed to the economic bailouts totals: More than the socialist New Deal... More than the entire Iraq debacle... More than the 1980's savings and loan mess... More than the Korean War... COMBINED. Where will it all end? It's time you and I put a stop to an out-of-control Federal Reserve. And Ron Paul has a bill before Congress to do just that. That's why it's vital you fill out your personal "Audit the Fed" petition in support of Congressman Paul's bill. This bill, introduced in the House by Congressman Ron Paul and in the Senate by Senator Rand Paul, will finally pull the lid off the FED and expose its outrageous power grabs. Now is the time to make sure your representative and senators feel the heat to support the Audit the Fed bill! If you and I don't act today, I'm afraid this crisis will end with the economic ruin of every man, woman, and child in the United States. Today, over 16 TRILLION in taxpayer dollars in bailouts and loans have been agreed to by Congress, the Bush and Obama Treasury Departments, and the out-of-control Fed. So is it really any wonder more and more folks are starting to realize the Washington, D.C. establishment is hurtling us toward complete economic disaster? Whether it's watching a phony "stimulus" package get rammed into law or seeing Congress pass a $700 BILLION bank "bailout," the American people are agitated and increasingly angry. You saw the result of that anger in the Tea Parties last year and then in the November elections. Statist, pro-Fed politicians were tossed out of office left and right! That means it's a perfect time to unleash the pressure of MILLIONS of outraged Americans on the out-of-control Fed today! So please agree to complete your petition urging your Representative and Senators to cosponsor and seek roll call votes on Audit the Fed - the first step toward ENDING THE FEDERAL RESERVE once and for all! As I know you're aware, the Federal Reserve is shrouded in secrecy. Its meetings are off-limits to the public. Its inner-workings are off-limits to the public. Fed leaders know coming clean with Congress and the American people on how they create money out of thin air would result in an anti-Fed firestorm. So can you imagine the impact of a full-scale audit? You and I will finally be able to show the American people 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 slowly decreases; ***  Currency destruction - history shows us that riots, violence, and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize fiat money isn't worth the paper it's printed on and REFUSE to accept it. And unless you and I do end the madness in Washington, D.C., we may be closer than we'd like to think to learning that history lesson firsthand, right here on the streets of our towns and cities. That's why your commitment to helping pass the Audit the Fed Bill - and helping Campaign for Liberty fight this battle - is so vital. Just a few years ago, there was no chance of passing any legislation like Ron Paul's Audit the Fed Bill. So I guess there has been one "CHANGE." You see, with the piling up of trillions of dollars in out of control "bailouts" of Wall Street and international bankers, even many politicians in Washington, D.C. want to show you they're "being responsible". What better way for Congress to do this than by auditing the Federal Reserve to account for the trillions stolen from U.S. taxpayers? More and more Congressmen are already feeling the pressure and are signing up to support this bill. I've even received word Audit the Fed could move in the coming weeks in the U.S. House. When that happens, you and I must be ready to fight. There will be many battles you and I must wage over the coming months to take back our country. But this one is set to rage in Congress in just a few short weeks. And, it's both a bill we CAN pass and one that is vital to exposing the massive corruption and downright evil at the Federal Reserve. You see, after regulating, taxing, spending, borrowing, and printing us into what looks like the worst recession in decades, establishment politicians and power brokers are assuring us they're working hard to "fix" our economic woes. What is their solution? You guessed it. More of the same! I'm convinced that if you and others will insist on Congress passing Audit the Fed, the votes will be there. Then the question is whether Barack Obama will sign it. But here's the thing: even if the Audit the Fed bill is vetoed by Obama, just forcing him to do it is a win/win situation. Can you imagine how it will look in the 2012 election when you and I tell the American people President Obama refused to even LOOK for the trillions of dollars stolen from the taxpayers? Now, we just need to show Congress the American people demand action on Audit the Fed. Here's how we plan to do that. First, we're already busy contacting up to seven million activists nationwide through mail, phones, and email to generate petitions to the U.S. Congress demanding action on "Audit the Fed". But that's just the beginning. We'll work the talk radio stations and grant local media interviews to further turn up the pressure on Congress. And a few days before the vote, if we have the resources, we'd also like to run hard-hitting targeted radio, TV, and newspaper ads. This entire program is designed to send this one, CLEAR message to Congress - Any politician who votes against the Federal Reserve Audit should look for another job. But such a massive effort won't be easy - or cheap. So, in addition to your signed petitions, I also hope you'll agree to chip in a contribution of $10, $25, $50 - or whatever you can afford - to Campaign for Liberty. If we don't take action, the America we see in just a few years could look far worse than even the one we see today. Can I count on you to join the fight to AUDIT THE FED by filling out the Petition and chipping in a quick $10, $25, or even $50 contribution right now? In Liberty, Matt Hawes Vice President P.S. Please complete your petition DEMANDING your representative and senators cosponsor and seek roll call votes on the Audit the Fed Bill TODAY! With federal spending at record levels, and TRILLIONS of new dollars flying off the printing presses, it's never been more important the Federal Reserve's abuses are exposed to the American people once and for all. So along with your signed petition, please chip in a contribution of $10, $25 or even $50, to Campaign for Liberty TODAY!

Advice from a burglar

            

Dear Erick, Imagine that a nearby neighborhood has experienced a recent devastating rash of burglaries, where the victims have been completely cleaned out. Now, picture one day getting a letter from the burglar, who just wanted to give you a list of "recommendations" to improve home security in your own neighborhood. Some of the steps include: -    leaving all of your windows and doors unlocked; -    turning off all the lights whenever you're not going to be home; -    putting all of your most valuable possessions in one location. The sad truth is, the seemingly improbable scenario you're imagining right now isn't far off from the reality taking place this week in Washington, D.C. And, to make things worse, the ones getting the letter will take the proposals seriously. According to a Politico article, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is planning to send Congress a list of "legislative recommendations" this week on what they can do to help "fix" the housing crisis. You read that right. The same Fed that has robbed America of its prosperity over the years is going to tell us how we can have a more secure economy and clean up the mess they made. It's not enough that since the Fed's creation in 1913, what someone was able to buy with $1.00 that year would now cost them $22.81. It's not enough that taxpayers have had to foot the bill so they can bail out Wall Street, international elites, and their other allies. It's not enough that they put you and me on the hook for over $16 trillion - more than the national debt - at the height of the financial crisis. They just can't stop interfering with our lives. But there's a way we can fight back - by countering Ben Bernanke's "recommendations" with one of our own. Call Congress at (202)224-3121 and urge your representative and senators to support and work for roll call votes on the Audit the Fed bill (H.R. 459/S. 202). It's time to hold Bernanke and his Fed cronies responsible for their actions. After helping crash our economy, and then digging our nation even deeper into trouble, they really seem convinced we should still take their "advice" seriously. As Congress hears from Ben Bernanke, make sure your representative and senators also hear from you - with a real solution to help return our country to prosperity. In Liberty, Matt Hawes Vice President P.S. Ben Bernanke just can't help himself, and he really seems convinced we should listen to his "solutions" to clean up a mess the Fed helped create. It's time to stop the Federal Reserve from robbing our nation of its prosperity in almost complete secrecy.  Please, contact Congress today at (202) 224-3121 and urge your representative and senators to support and work for roll call votes on the Audit the Fed bill (H.R. 459/S. 202).  And, if you're able, I hope you'll chip in $10 to Campaign for Liberty so we can continue to keep the pressure on Congress in support of real solutions to this economic crisis.

Hours away

Dear Erick, The deadline for the Black THIS Out Money Bomb is midnight tonight and my supporters have contributed an amazing $2,560,467. Can I count on your support to cut through the media suppression of my campaign and help me spread my ideas to Restore America Now to the voters? You see, they say there are two sides to every story. But the media is spoon-feeding only one side to the voters: the establishments. The gatekeepers in the press won't give me the time of day because I challenge the status quo. I challenge the Fed's destruction of our currency. I challenge our foreign policy, which is bankrupting our nation. And to bust through this media blackout and spread my message of liberty, I need your help. The Black THIS Out Money Bomb is in its final hours, and the voters need to hear MY side of the story. And my message is popular. The polls show me within striking distance of first place for the Republican nomination and DEFEATING Barack Obama in a head-to-head matchup. Everywhere I campaign, more and more Americans realize that I am the one candidate who predicted the economic disaster and who has a serious plan to restore prosperity to America. So please, click here and make your most generous contribution to the Black THIS Out Money Bomb. If you have already donated, I thank you for your generosity.  Your support has kept me strong throughout this campaign. But I would ask that you dig deep one last time and chip in whatever you can afford to make this Money Bomb a massive success. Three million is within sight and it would send a powerful signal to the establishment that my campaign cannot be silenced. If you have not yet donated, my campaign has a massive email, phone, direct mail, and internet and TV ad voter outreach program planned, but the size of the ad buys and the amount of mail we can send is dependent on the resources at our disposal. I know times are tough, but victory is within our grasp. Can I count on you to make your most generous contribution to the Black THIS Out Money Bomb and fuel my campaign's drive to the Republican nomination? I thank you for all that you do in the name of Liberty. For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S.  The Black THIS Out Money Bomb deadline is just hours away! So far, my supporters have contributed an amazing $2,560,467 toward this effort. Please click here to make your most generous contribution and tell the political establishment to Black THIS Out.

Toe-to-Toe

Dear Erick, Can Ron Paul stand toe-to-toe with the establishment?   You and I both know he has the message to win.    He has the record that PROVES he not only understands the problems we face but understands the solution is LESS government – not more.   With the national media going all-out to ignore his campaign, it’s up to you and me to make sure that my dad has the money to stand up to the establishment and WIN.   The good news is, already the Ron Paul campaign’s Black THIS Out Money Bomb has raised $2.5 million!   Can we reach $3 million?  We’re so close.   If you haven’t yet contributed to the Black THIS Out Money Bomb, please do so immediately!   Today is the last day of this crucial effort, so I’m relying on you to please contribute as generously as you can.   And I’m counting on a big day!   There’s nothing I’d like to see more than a Ron Paul Presidency to really shake things up in Washington, D.C. and get our country moving back in the right direction.   And the truth is, if my dad can continue to count on the support of good folks like you, I’m more certain than ever that VICTORY is right around the corner.   You see, polls have shown my dad polling within striking distance of first place for the Republican nomination for President – and even show him DEFEATING President Obama in a head-to-head matchup!   And that’s all DESPITE the media’s virtual censorship of the Ron Paul message!

Send them a message

Dear Erick, Our R3VOLUTION is alive and well – and don't ever let any pundit or inside-the-Beltway gatekeeper convince you otherwise. Yesterday, thanks to the generous support of thousands of Americans who are ready to Restore America Now, my campaign raised over $2 million in 24 hours! It's simply incredible just how popular freedom really is. And, due to an overwhelming amount of feedback from the grassroots, we're extending the Black THIS Out Money Bomb through Friday night! If you've already donated, thank you so much for your support. We only have a little further to go to reach our goal of raising $3 million, so I hope you'll consider chipping in again if you are able. And if you haven't yet contributed, I can't think of a better time! The establishment is pulling every trick in the book to keep the American people from hearing about my solutions to the challenges confronting our nation. They know that a Ron Paul Administration means the end of their free ride and powergrabs. After all, I've just introduced a plan to cut one TRILLION dollars of spending in the first year of my term alone, eliminate FIVE departments, and FULLY balance the budget by year three. Unlike my status quo-endorsing opponents, I'm not playing around. And now, thanks to the massive response to the Black THIS Out Money Bomb, we're sending a message that their tricks have only further strengthened our resolve to win this race. These funds will allow us to expand our program to run hard-hitting television, radio, and internet ads in the early primary and caucus states and counteract the media's biased reports by putting information about my beliefs directly into the voters' hands. And the more people find out about my unmatched constitutional conservative record, the more join our campaign. So, if you've already given to the Black THIS Out Money Bomb, can I count on you to chip in again to help us reach our $3 million goal? And if you haven't yet participated, I hope you'll do so today. This campaign will only go as far as the support of everyday grassroots American patriots like you takes it. Erick, what I'm seeing all across the country is truly amazing. Folks are outraged about how Big Government politicians are wrecking this country. And they know now is the time to fight back. We just have to keep reaching these millions with our campaign's message of freedom. And the Black THIS Out Money Bomb is helping give us the resources we need to break through the media blackout and WIN this election. Thank you so much for your continued support. For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S.  Due to an overwhelming response from the grassroots, we're extending the Black THIS Out Money Bomb through Friday night. If you haven't yet participated, I hope you'll do so today. And if you've already contributed, thank you for standing with us.  Please consider chipping in again so we can reach our goal of raising $3 million to keep taking our message around the media blackout and straight to the voters.

Your R3VOLUTION

Dear Erick, If this campaign were only about a man, the media’s BLACKOUT might work. But it’s not.  It’s about reclaiming our liberty. At its heart, the Ron Paul R3VOLUTION is your revolution.  And you’re sending a powerful message. Incredibly, the Black THIS Out Money Bomb has already raised over $2 million! I can’t tell you how excited and overwhelmed I am by the generous support of good folks like you. In fact, I’ve just been notified that many in the grassroots are demanding the Black THIS Out Money Bomb be extended through Friday. Consider it done. I know this campaign is asking a lot of our supporters. But the truth is, it’s showtime. With key early state primaries and caucuses rapidly approaching, right now is the time when you and I need to do everything we can to catapult Ron Paul into first place in the polls. So the gloves are off. Establishment candidates who think they’ve been able to charm the media gatekeepers into ignoring their past support for tax hikes or big government schemes like the TARP bailouts WILL be held accountable. After all, you’ve seen the ads we’ve already run. You’ve seen Ron Paul’s plan to balance the budget in three years by cutting $1 TRILLION in spending and eliminating FIVE federal departments. Rest assured, we have more up our sleeves. In fact, even as I write you, I’m preparing to launch yet another one MILLION dollar ad campaign. You see, I’m in this to win it and so is Ron Paul. But the truth is – the internet and TV ads, the hard-hitting voter mail, the nonstop campaigning – it all takes money. And if we’re going to DEFEAT establishment candidates like Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and Herman Cain, we have to keep the financial support coming in. You see, the media isn’t going to spread our message for us. They’re not going to suddenly start treating Ron Paul with the respect he deserves for predicting the outright MESS our country is in right now. You and I have to BLAST through the media BLACKOUT and take our message straight to the voters. That's why I'm counting on your generous support for the Black THIS Out Money Bomb. The good news is, our strategy is working.  Polls show Ron Paul is within striking distance of first place and show him defeating President Obama in a head-to-head matchup. But there's more to be done.  And, like I said, this is your R3VOLUTION. So if you want your country back, TAKE IT BACK. Let’s stop the out-of-control spending, the endless TRILLION-dollar wars, the outrageous assaults on our liberties . . . LET’S WIN THIS THING. For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S. We’ve already raised over $2 million!  Incredible!  Thank you so much. I’ve just been informed many in the grassroots want to extend the Black THIS Out Money Bomb through Friday. Consider it done! Thanks so much for your support, and if you haven’t, please make your most generous contribution to Ron Paul's Black THIS Out Money Bomb TODAY.

I don't need them

Dear Erick, Debate moderators try to ignore me on stage. Establishment pundits refuse to mention my name in any headlines. But my campaign doesn't need them. I have you. With just hours remaining before the midnight deadline for today's Black THIS Out Money Bomb, my supporters have contributed an incredible $1,429,097. Can I count on you to make your most generous contribution and help make my campaign break through the media blackout? Every dollar donated will fuel a grassroots operation no other candidate in this race can match to take my ideas to Restore America Now directly to the voters. You see, this isn't a slogan or a gimmick. Nor is it a national sales tax scheme. I have introduced a serious proposal to cut $1 trillion in spending in 1 year, close down 5 federal departments and balance the budget in 3 years! But I need your support in order to bypass the media blackout and spread my message. My campaign has a plan to unleash a blizzard of direct mail pieces, emails, phone calls, and internet and TV advertisements on the important primary states. But there are just hours remaining to raise the funds in order to put our entire plan into action. I know you have backed my candidacy when the entire political establishment was demanding you support the so-called "electable" alternative. I thank you for everything that you have done, but ask that you dig deep one last time and make your most generous contribution to help me take my message of liberty directly to the voters. The good news is, your hard work and support are paying off. Polls show me defeating Barack Obama in a head-to-head matchup. And the Republican primary is WIDE open. Other candidates rise and fall as conservatives hunt around for the real deal. Establishment candidates make a splash by talking a good game. But when Republicans get a good look at their record, they discover they are nothing more than defenders of the status quo wearing conservative costumes. Unlike some in this race, I am proud to run on my record. I have never voted for a tax increase or an unbalanced budget.  And my Plan to Restore America is the only serious budget-cutting proposal offered by any candidate in this race. If my campaign has the resources to spread my consistent conservative proposal to Restore America to enough voters, I can win the Republican nomination. So please, click here to make your most generous contribution to the Black THIS Out Money Bomb and help send a message that you are sick and tired of the media trying to pick the Republican nominee for President. For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S.  The Black THIS Out Money Bomb deadline is just hours away! So far, my supporters have contributed an amazing $1,429,097 toward this effort.

Are They Serious?

Dear Erick, Serious times call for serious measures. Sure, it sounds cliché, but there's not a candidate in the Republican field for President who would disagree that our nation is facing tough times right now . . . But there's only ONE candidate who is acting like it. And that's the candidate the national media is falling all over itself to STOP the voters from hearing! Erick, it's up to you to help Ron Paul break through the media BLACKOUT. It's up to you to help my dad bypass the gatekeepers and bring his message of liberty straight to the voters. So can I count on you to make your most generous contribution to today's Black THIS Out Money Bomb IMMEDIATELY? With nearly $15 TRILLION in national debt, cutting spending should be the name of the game right now for any Republican candidate seeking to be President. Ron Paul has answered the call. His plan would cut one TRILLION in spending, eliminate five federal departments, and balance the federal budget in just three years! But instead of tackling the serious issues facing America head on, my father's other top-tier opponents are falling all over themselves trying to explain away their support for TARP or sell America on a new national sales tax! And what's worse, the media constantly focuses on new "flavors of the month" and flat-out refuses to take seriously the ONE candidate who has had it right consistently all along! Ridiculous. The good news is, even despite all this, polls show Ron Paul within striking distance of first place - and DEFEATING President Obama in a head-to-head matchup. So my father's strategy of bypassing the national media and taking his message of liberty straight to the voters IS working. But more must be done. I know already today his Black THIS Out Money Bomb has brought in $1,102,272. That's incredible! But the truth is, it's not enough. It's not enough for my dad to stand toe-to-toe with his establishment opponents and DEFEAT them. It's not enough to pay for all the TV, the targeted voter mail, and the nonstop campaigning it will take to WIN. I know my dad's campaign is asking a lot of supporters like you.  But please realize that's because you are the R3VOLUTION. The people driving this campaign's success are those from all over the country just like you who are SICK of the constant cycle of taxing, spending, bailouts, assaults on our liberties, TRILLION-dollar wars, and political cronyism. So if you want Ron Paul's campaign to succeed - if you want to WIN - now is the time to catapult him to the top. Please make your most generous contribution to today's Black THIS Out Money Bomb IMMEDIATELY. Thanks so much for all you do. For Liberty, Rand Paul United States Senator, Kentucky P.S.  Already my dad's campaign has brought in $1,102,272 during today's Black THIS Out Money Bomb! Incredible. But more MUST be done if you and I are going to catapult Ron Paul to the top. Please make your most generous contribution to today's Black THIS Out Money Bomb IMMEDIATELY.
