True Patriots

Dear Erick, I could hardly believe what I was hearing. It all started with Newt Gingrich’s flip-flop on the so-called “Patriot” Act. In the past, Newt Gingrich has admitted just how dangerous this bill is – but during tonight’s debate, Speaker Gingrich took it as an opportunity to go on the attack. Erick, these attacks are going to keep coming. There’s no way around it. That’s why I’m hoping I can count on your most generous contribution IMMEDIATELY. The truth is, our country is over $15 TRILLION in debt - but EVERY Republican candidate but one during tonight’s debate was champing at the bit to launch another trillion-dollar war . . . On Iran perhaps.  Or maybe Pakistan.  Or even Syria. Will their “war at any cost” madness ever end? But perhaps the most maddening thing is the constant attacks on Ron Paul by his establishment opponents.  Why? ***  For fighting for the pro-AMERICAN, pro-troop, pro-taxpayer foreign policy advocated by the Founding Fathers; ***  For speaking out against policing the world and nation-building; ***  For admitting the so-called “Patriot” Act is unpatriotic; ***  For DEMANDING our federal government follow the Constitution by getting proper congressional authorization before going to war; ***  For saying that if we must go to war, we should go with all the necessary tools for victory, win it, and COME HOME; ***  For daring to state that the federal government’s targeting and killing of United States citizens without trial is ILLEGAL. To most Americans, this is all common sense. To our troops, it’s the message they’ve been longing to hear. Why else would Ron Paul have received more contributions than President Obama and all other Republican candidates for President COMBINED? But to Ron Paul’s establishment opponents, it’s an opportunity to discredit the one candidate who advocates a strong national defense and a constitutional foreign policy. And the truth is, I expect the attacks to come like never before. Just consider the polls we’ve seen over the past several days. Ron Paul is now clearly in second place in New Hampshire, and he is statistically tied for the lead in Iowa. On the Sunday morning shows, much of the talk was about how Ron Paul was a real threat to win Iowa – and how he has now moved into the top tier. The truth is, Ron Paul has been in the top tier for months - but it’s just now that the establishment is realizing it. That’s why I expect Ron Paul to be attacked like never before in the coming weeks. It’s up to you and me to make sure we have the funds necessary to FIGHT BACK. So can I count on you for your most generous contribution IMMEDIATELY? Whether it’s $100, $50, $25, or even $5, every single dollar will help our campaign recruit more volunteers, reach millions of more voters, and ensure the success of our get-out-the-vote strategy on Election Day. I know the campaign has asked a lot of you already this year. And I know these are tough times for every American. I also know that every dollar folks like you have given to this campaign thus far has been in the hopes that you and I would reach this moment. But you and I both know the attacks are going to keep on coming just like they came tonight. We MUST be prepared and ready to seize victory no matter what. So please, make your most generous contribution TODAY! Victory is within reach. For Liberty, John Tate Campaign Manager P.S. Once again, tonight’s debate showcased that Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate advocating a strong national defense and a constitutional foreign policy. But now that polls show Ron Paul statistically tied for first in Iowa and clearly in second in New Hampshire, the SMEARS are only going to keep coming. So can I count on you for your most generous contribution IMMEDIATELY? Whatever you can do will make a tremendous difference and help ensure we can get Dr. Paul’s message to millions of more Americans as we march toward victory!
