Will the internet go dark?

Dear Erick, If you didn't see Senator Paul's email on Friday, I hope you'll take just a minute to read what's below. Your action today can help us put the final nail in the coffin on the federal government's latest attempt to take over the internet. In Liberty, Matt Hawes Campaign for Liberty Dear Erick, The one place that has been largely free of government control - the internet - is the statists’ latest target. Dual bills, SOPA and Protect IP, are set for action in the U.S. House and Senate in the coming weeks. As I write this, rumors are circulating that SOPA and Protect IP may be scrapped. But as we’ve seen countless times before, including with ObamaCare, the special interests will never stop fighting for more power at the expense of our freedoms. We need to turn the pressure up to make sure these bills are dead for good. If you value the freedom of information the internet has provided, and, like me, you believe the internet is the best tool for getting our information out and organizing our movement, you must act now. You know, it seems every day that our freedoms are under assault from Congress and the Obama Administration. More Patriot Act spying. Pushing Real ID. Indefinite detention of American citizens. The list is both staggering and frightening. It is up to you and me to stand squarely against this Big Government powergrab over the internet. I’ll do my part here in the Senate. I hope I can count on you. Please take a careful look at the email below from my friend Matt Hawes, Vice President of Campaign for Liberty. He has some very important information and action items to protect your online freedom. Don’t put this letter aside. Our liberty is in jeopardy, and every American must rally to this cause. In Liberty, Senator Rand Paul Dear Erick, I hope this letter makes it to you on time. You see, The government is certainly hoping you put this letter aside.  Throw it in the trash.  Assume I am exaggerating the threat they pose to your freedom. Don't make that mistake. What they don't want you to know is Government censorship?  Government control over what you can see, hear, and read online? If they get their way, your news online could look a lot like the above.  That's why it's vital you complete the UrgentGram to your representative and senators. There isn't a moment to waste. Right now, the same folks that brought you the so-called "Patriot" Act, indefinite detention of American citizens, and an unaccountable TSA and an invasive Department of Homeland Security are preparing to wage war on your freedom online. The government is fully prepared to take unprecedented power over the internet unless you and I stop them today. Two bills - SOPA (HR 3261) in the House and Protect IP (S 968) in the Senate - are being pushed by the Big Government leadership of both houses.  Action on one or both bills could happen any day. What is the government trying to do?  Gain a foothold in the last truly free place on earth - the internet.  It's no secret that websites, social media, and other online communities are a hotbed of anti-government, powerful activism. From cafes in Cairo to bloggers in Beijing, those living under oppressive regimes organize, spread information, and fight for their freedom with their words and deeds online. And here at home, from anti-war activists to homeschoolers, anti-tax proponents to civil libertarians, Patriots fight for their freedom online.  In addition, these actions by the government will harm the one place where capitalism and the free market are most flourishing. Entrepreneurship and small business creation are at an all-time high online. An idea and a lot of hard work can launch anything from a good side business to a worldwide enterprise online. Minimal startup costs.  Fewer regulatory hurdles.  Lower tax burdens.  All of these factors contribute to a thriving online economy - and one that would be directly and massively harmed by SOPA and Protect IP (which should really be called Destroy IP). The bills give the government the power to put someone out of business for even minor copyright violations.  In fact, as originally drafted, these bills give the government the power to shut down websites on even a private allegation of a violation.  No investigation.  No charges.  No trial.  No jury.  No verdict.  Entire websites could be shut down for inadvertent violations, malicious attacks, or a made-up claim. Campaign for Liberty could be shut down virtually overnight if someone - say a Federal Reserve official - claimed a YouTube video we promoted was a "copyright violation. You don't need to think very hard to imagine what a hostile government agent or bureaucrat could do with this power.  Our economy AND our freedom are threatened in one massive takeover. SOPA and PIPA purport to give the government the power to shut down websites and disable search engines in the name of stopping "piracy. Right.  And they say they are only spying on foreign terrorists.  Nothing for us law-abiding Americans to worry about. But let's be honest… If the government takes the power to regulate the internet and shut down information, no matter what the stated reason, you and I cannot control what they do with that power. Has the government EVER taken a power it didn't use to stifle freedom?  To paraphrase Madison, we are not governed by angels.  That's why you and I must act today. I hope you will take a minute to complete your UrgentGram I have prepared for you. I hope to deliver yours - along with hundreds of thousands like it - in the coming days. There is only one hope to defeat SOPA and Protect IP, and that is a massive public outcry and the spotlight of public attention, coupled with strong action in Congress by friends of liberty like Senator Rand Paul. Already, public reaction has slowed the statists' plans, and proponents of these takeovers are desperate to quickly stop the bleeding.  That's why they are trying to speed their power grabs through Congress. And please, don't be fooled by the bill's authors claiming to have "fixed" SOPA to better protect online freedom.  Any claim that SOPA or Protect IP can be fixed is FALSE and should be ignored. There is no fixing these bills - only killing them.  And that's exactly what Campaign for Liberty will do with your help today. Our team has put together a three-part plan to defeat Protect IP and SOPA: ***  Massive web action: Since the most affected people would be those who work or get most of their news online, Campaign for Liberty will target online sites and communities with web ads, Google ads, banners, and emails. Our goal is to contact at least TEN MILLION people in the coming weeks - a huge undertaking. ***  Targeted media: Our staff will blanket the internet and the airwaves, the blogs and newspapers, as we sound the alarm nationwide! ***  If funds allow, we will launch tv and radio ads as well, alerting talk radio listeners and news viewers of the dangers of SOPA and Protect IP. This undertaking must be done quickly, and it will not be cheap. That's why, in addition to your completed UrgentGram, I am counting on you to make a contribution to Campaign for Liberty today. Please chip in a contribution of $50, $25, $10 - or whatever you can afford.  Whatever you can do, right now, will have a big impact. What is your freedom worth to you?  I know you are a Patriot who has rallied to our cause many times before.  Please stand with us again at this crucial time. As Senator Paul noted, it's up to us to fight this Big Government power grab.  That's why he is leading the fight in the Senate.  Campaign for Liberty will have his back by leading a grassroots army.  I hope he and I can count on your being a part of this fight by completing your UrgentGram and chipping in your maximum possible contribution of $50, $25, $10 - or whatever you can afford. Thank you for all you do in our fight for Liberty! In Liberty, Matt Hawes Vice President P.S. If you don't want the internet to look like this, it is vital you act right away.  Please complete your UrgentGram to help C4L stop SOPA and Protect IP in their tracks today! And if you can, please also enclose a contribution of $50, $25, $10 - or whatever you can afford - with your completed UrgentGram. Thank you.

Turn the Lights Out

Dear Erick, Senator Rand Paul’s detainment by the TSA yesterday is just more proof this country desperately needs a new direction. For years, the statists have told us that if we’d just hand over a little more of our God-given freedoms to government, everything will be ok. Now, TSA government goons unleash their assaults on human dignity on everyone from 90-year-old grandmothers to five-year-old little boys. At the same time, the ticking time bomb that is our massive $15 TRILLION national debt threatens to wipe out every last shred of freedom that should be our birthright as American citizens! Erick, Ron Paul’s End the TSA Money Bomb is only a few hours from ending.  So please make a generous contribution to this critical Money Bomb IMMEDIATELY. You see, I want to put an end to all of this madness NOW. The good news is, Ron Paul has pledged to turn the lights off at the TSA for good as President of the United States. But it’s not just the TSA. The TSA is only a symbol of our fragile republic crumbling right before our eyes as respect for human dignity and individual liberty is continually CRUSHED by out-of-control government. The only way to stop the statists who would send our country nose-diving off a cliff is to WIN. That’s what Dr. Paul is in this race to do. The good news is, Dr. Paul’s campaign has proven it can hang with the “big boys,” as we continually give them a run for their money in EVERY state - racking up delegates all the way. But two more critical state contests are right around the corner. Florida is next Tuesday, then Nevada just a few days later. Every dollar you can contribute translates into more mail and email, more internet, radio, and TV ads, more campaign stops for Dr. Paul . . . . . . and hopefully, more votes! But as you know, this isn’t just a campaign.  It’s a R3VOLUTION. It’s a R3VOLUTION led by grassroots warriors like you who are willing to stand up and state unequivocally that assaults on our freedom will not be tolerated. And with your help, this R3VOLUTION will go all the way to the White House. So please make a generous contribution to this critical Money Bomb IMMEDIATELY. For Liberty, John Tate Campaign Manager P.S. Senator Rand Paul’s detainment by the out-of-control TSA only proves this country desperately needs a new direction.   That’s why I’m counting on you to help Ron Paul change course in America by making a generous contribution to our End the TSA Money Bomb.

Want Change?

Dear Erick, What kind of America do I envision? How about one where our God-given rights are respected? Where our federal government stays within its constitutional limits, doesn't spend more than it takes in, and has a balanced budget? Where our defenses are stronger than ever, because we're not stretching our fighting men and women thin all over the globe? Or where you and I don't have to have our privacy invaded and our dignity stripped away just to get on a plane? You and I have a chance to rock the status quo and bring real change to America in this election. But I need your help right away if we are to win this race. Please, contribute whatever you are able to my End the TSA Money Bomb to help me keep the spotlight on this critical issue and highlight that I am the only presidential candidate who is serious about stopping this out-of-control bureaucracy. Yesterday, my son, Senator Rand Paul, encountered the TSA's ridiculousness firsthand when he was detained and prevented from making his flight to Washington, D.C. to speak at the March for Life - all because he refused their disgusting full body pat-down after they detected an “anomaly” in his scan. They even got upset when he made a call to let his Senate office know he wouldn't be able to keep his commitment at the March! After Rand refused to back down for almost two hours, they finally agreed to his common-sense proposal: let him take a second scan. Of course, nothing showed up, and Rand caught a later flight. Americans are subjected to this kind of treatment every day in our nation's airports, and few have the kind of opportunity that Rand and I do to speak out about it. I've led in Congress by proposing legislation to hold TSA and all other federal agents accountable to the same laws that apply to every other American, and I'll lead in the White House with my Plan to Restore America, which completely abolishes the TSA. My Plan also places responsibility for security back in the hands of private property owners, who have incentive to keep their customers safe without subjecting them to unnecessary harassment. Despite the nationwide outrage at the TSA's tactics, President Obama refuses to take action to rein them in, and you can be sure my establishment Republican opponents won't lift a finger to protect the American people's right to travel without being assaulted by the government. If we're serious about creating change and restoring passengers' liberties, we must take action now. Please, donate whatever you are able to my End the TSA Money Bomb today so I can have every resource possible to spread my message of freedom and win this race. For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S.  Only one candidate in this race is serious about abolishing the out-of-control TSA and restoring Americans' right to travel without being harassed by the government. But I need your help to keep getting my message of freedom - including how we can have a strong national defense without bureaucracies like the TSA - to the voters. So I hope I can count on your most generous donation to my End the TSA Money Bomb today! Together, we can fight for an America where our countrymen's God-given rights are once again respected.

Free Rand Paul

Dear Erick, Earlier today, the internet was buzzing with the rallying cry “Free Rand Paul!” And this image was at the top of the Drudge Report: What happened to set off such a firestorm? My son, Senator Rand Paul, simply stood up for his right not to be the latest victim of the TSA’s disgusting full body pat-down. I’m writing today to ask for your help in fighting back against the out-of-control TSA, but first, let me tell you what happened. After an “anomaly” turned up in his body scan as he was trying to board a flight in Nashville, Rand showed that he was clearly no threat and asked to go through the scanner a second time. Instead of tolerating this common-sense idea, TSA officials demanded he undergo a full body pat-down. Rand stood up for his rights and refused – and was then detained by the TSA and prevented from getting on his flight. Though the TSA finally caved after Rand didn't back down for two hours - and allowed him to go through the scanner again - Rand caught a later flight but missed his commitment to speak at the March for Life in Washington, D.C. As soon as word got out that Rand was being detained, grassroots Americans responded in outrage over this latest abuse of power by the TSA. Which leads me to a critical point. Rand was able to speak up for liberty today thanks to the platform he has as a U.S. Senator. I’m proud of my son’s stand, but just imagine those who receive this kind of treatment every day in our nation’s airports and can’t fight back? The elderly.  The disabled.  Little kids. All victims of an out-of-control police state that, while doing nothing to make us safer, is working overtime to strip away our freedoms, our rights, and our basic dignity. Thanks to your support, I have a chance to stand up for all those who have been assaulted by the TSA and END these abuses once and for all. As President, I pledge to do everything in my power to strengthen our national security by ending the theatrical sham that is the TSA. I know it’s short notice, but we’ve put together a mini-Money Bomb to bring even more attention to this critical issue tonight and tomorrow. Will you help me win this race and fight back for our civil liberties by making your most generous contribution right away? You see, not one of my establishment opponents – and certainly not the incumbent, who stands idly by every day while this disgrace operates in our airports – will lift ONE FINGER to stop the TSA, stand up for our Constitution, and preserve passengers’ dignity. I have led on this issue with my Plan to Restore America, which, along with cutting $1 trillion during the first year of my presidency, abolishes the TSA! My Plan will take the responsibility for security from this reckless bureaucracy and return it to the private property owners who will do everything possible to keep their customers safe. Whether it’s honoring our promises to our veterans, or securing our borders, or ending the policies that keep our troops under the thumb of the UN, not one of my opponents measure up to the standard we need when it comes to this nation’s defense. Sure, they’ll talk a good game on the campaign trail, but every one of them ignores the simple truth that national security begins at home. Let’s follow “Free Rand Paul” with another rallying cry – “End the TSA!” And this election gives us a better chance than ever before to do just that. Please, give whatever you are able right away to our End the TSA Money Bomb to help us keep the spotlight on this out-of-control organization and restore respect for freedom and common decency to the White House. For Liberty, Ron Paul   P.S.  Earlier today, my son, Senator Rand Paul, was detained by the TSA in Nashville, prevented from making his flight, and missed his commitment to speak at the March for Life in Washington, D.C. All because he refused to be the latest victim of the TSA’s disgusting full body pat-downs. I’m proud of my son’s stand, but there are many more who receive this kind of treatment every day – and never have a chance to speak out. My Plan to Restore America stands up for the rights and privacy of every traveler by abolishing the TSA. Please, make your most generous contribution today to my End the TSA Money Bomb so I can have every possible resource to win this race, abolish the out-of-control TSA, and lead the fight to keep our nation safe - instead of allowing bureaucrats to continue sacrificing our security for this theatrical sham.

Onward

Dear Erick, After historic finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire, our campaign quadrupled its amount of support from 2008 in South Carolina! Thanks to everyone who worked so hard in the Palmetto State to spread our message and help continue our momentum!  I’m grateful for the countless hours you put in to recruit more voters to our cause. Only a little over one percent of the delegates have been awarded, and although Newt Gingrich prevailed last night, there is only one candidate in this race who has the organization, the resources, and the volunteers to compete nationwide with establishment candidate Mitt Romney – and only one candidate whose name will appear on every ballot with Mitt Romney’s. You see, at the very beginning of our campaign, I worked with my staff to create a strategy that would keep us in for the long haul. The race for the Republican nomination will be a marathon, not a sprint, and we’re just getting started. I hope you’ll help me further strengthen our organization in upcoming states by donating whatever you are able right away. Florida is just around the corner, with caucuses in Nevada, Maine, Colorado, and Minnesota following right on its heels. On March 6, hundreds of delegates will be up for grabs on Super Tuesday with elections in multiple states, including Virginia, where it’s a two-man race between me and Mitt Romney. We’re primed to do very well in these contests.  Staff and volunteers have been working around the clock in many of these states to deliver a victory, and I’m excited about what we can achieve. With Newt’s win in South Carolina, the spotlight will be on his candidacy like never before. So I believe it’ll become clearer than ever that neither he nor Mitt Romney have the conservative credentials needed to take on and defeat Barack Obama. When voters examine the records of both leading establishment candidates, they’ll see a history of support for bailouts, massive spending, health care mandates, gun control, union boss power grabs, Cap-and-Trade, and more destructive policies. If our Party wants to beat President Obama, it must choose a nominee who can provide a clear contrast to his administration. As we head into a very busy month of campaigning, I’ll continue to stand strong for real change, like: *** Cutting $1 trillion in spending during the first year of my presidency. *** Eliminating five bloated, unconstitutional federal agencies and returning those powers to the states. *** Balancing the federal budget in three years. *** Securing our borders and getting serious about keeping this nation safe. I’m counting on you to fight alongside me. So please, donate whatever you are able right away to make sure we have every possible resource to win the Republican nomination. Despite what the establishment media would have the American people believe, voters don’t have to settle for more of the same Big Government, big spending, status quo candidates. Together, you and I can return this country to its founding principles of individual freedom, limited government, sound money, and personal responsibility. Onward! For Liberty, Ron Paul   P.S.  After achieving historic results in Iowa and New Hampshire, our campaign quadrupled its total from 2008 in South Carolina last night! Now, as we look ahead to several contests in the coming weeks, it’s more critical than ever that I know I can count on your support. Only my campaign has the resources, the organization, and the volunteers to compete nationwide with establishment candidate Mitt Romney – and only my name will appear on each ballot along with Mitt Romney’s. With the spotlight brighter than ever before on my both my leading establishment opponents, more voters will realize that their Big Government candidacies spell certain defeat against President Obama. Please, help me reach millions more voters with the truth about my consistent conservative record, as well as our message of freedom and real change, with your most generous contribution today.

Call South Carolina Today

Dear Erick, Voting begins tomorrow morning in South Carolina at 7:00 a.m. And the latest polls show I have a real shot at a very strong finish. But I need your help during this critical time. Can I count on you to make calls into South Carolina today? The truth is, elections are a numbers game. You see, if I’m going to have a strong showing in South Carolina, it’s absolutely vital we contact as many voters as possible. And using our state-of-the-art Phone From Home Program, contacting voters has never been so easy. All you have to do is call likely Republican voters in South Carolina to find out who they’re supporting, and what issue they care most about. Best of all, you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home to help! But South Carolina is going to come down to these last few hours. So please, help my campaign contact as many voters as possible today using our Phone From Home Program. Together, you and I can Restore America NOW! For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S.  Elections are a numbers game. So if I’m going to have a strong showing in South Carolina, we must make sure we contact as many voters as possible before the polls open tomorrow. That’s why I’m counting on you to use our Phone From Home Program to help contact likely Republican voters in South Carolina.   Paid for by Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee www.ronpaul2012.com

Home Run

Dear Erick, Tonight’s South Carolina debate in Charleston was a home run for my campaign! This is exactly the shot of momentum my campaign needed – and it showed every voter I’m the only candidate who’s serious about cutting spending and getting our economy moving. But with just one day until South Carolinians go to the polls, I’m hoping I can count on you for an IMMEDIATE contribution. The truth is, South Carolina is critical. And every dollar you can give right now will translate into more calls, more TV and internet ads, and more email. The good news is, things are moving in the right direction here on the ground in South Carolina. I’ve been endorsed by four of South Carolina’s most conservative State Senators.  The crowds at my rallies are growing larger and larger. Tomorrow, I’m crisscrossing the state with six campaign stops. But I want to pull out ALL the stops.  And for that, I need to count on your help. My debate performance tonight is already turning heads. What the crowd saw tonight was my opponents savaging each other over and over in a desperate attempt to defend their Big Government records. Me?  I wasn’t touched once.  Because quite frankly, I can’t be. I’ve spent 30 years fighting against establishment politicians – like my opponents – to finally put an END to politics as usual. Instead of Big Government, I want limited government. Instead of fighting to increase government involvement in health care and the economy, I’ve fought to get government out of the way. Instead of flip-flopping on core conservative issues like the Second Amendment and the Right to Life, I’ve stood strong for them. Instead of ramping up spending and undermining our constitutional principles, I’ve fought for lower spending, sound money, and the Constitution. But with time running out, I need to count on your help. Please contribute every dollar you possibly can right now. Together, we can Restore America Now.   For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S. I just had my best debate of the year. But with just one day left until South Carolinians go to the polls to vote, I need your IMMEDIATE help. Please contribute every dollar you can right now.  Every dollar means more calls, more ads, more emails, and more TV. This is absolutely critical if I am to have another historic showing this weekend. Paid for by Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee www.ronpaul2012.com
