 Dear Erick, My Presidential race is over, and my time in Congress is ending, but I'm going to continue leading our REVOLUTION. After my term is up, I will be leading our fight from the outside. And where I choose to lead that battle is firmly at the helm of Campaign for Liberty. Time is running out until the start of the next Congress, and C4L President John Tate and I just finished talking about how critically important it is for Campaign for Liberty members to take a stand against the statists' schemes. There's no doubt the fights our liberty movement will face will be among the toughest we've ever experienced. But the truth is, C4L needs your opinion because it's clear this REVOLUTION will wither and die without the support of good folks like you – and the statists will run roughshod over our remaining liberties. Please read the below email from John explaining everything we have on our plate. Then fill out your Supporter's Directive immediately. Time is running out, and C4L simply must know where you stand. For Liberty,  Ron Paul  Dear Erick, I already knew the situation was dire. While the Congress convening in January will have more pro-liberty members than any other in recent history... ... it will also bring with it some of the greatest threats our movement has ever faced. And it will be led by a President and Senate Majority Leader who think they have a “mandate” to throw what little remains of the Constitution into the shredder to advance their Big Government agenda. We simply can’t expect the Republican establishment to fight back. They’re too busy listening to all the wrong people and planning to “move left.” But what has me more worried than anything else is that right when all those who believe in liberty must rise to the challenge, C4L won’t be able to wage an ALL-OUT assault on the statists’ plans in 2013. As my staff and I look ahead to the new year, there are so many battles that I wanted to make sure I wrote to you to ask for your thoughts and your support. But I will get to that in a minute. Voices of Liberty – strong ones like Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Justin Amash, and others – will be leading the fight in Congress. I want to be sure we've got their backs. Will you stand behind them? Will you stand with C4L to push forward the liberty agenda in 2013? Campaign for Liberty is poised to lead the fight from the outside – to bring the strong support of the Liberty movement, the anti-Washington message of the Tea Parties, and the small government message of grassroots activists all across the country to the battles ahead. You see, right now, you and I are at a key stage in many of our current battles – and I’m faced with some critical decisions about C4L’s efforts in 2013. You and I know we will have more battles than we could possibly handle. So I am asking for your help – and your advice. That’s why it’s vital you sign your Confidential Supporter's Directive IMMEDIATELY.  The results will be tabulated and presented to me in the coming weeks as I approve our budget and battle plans for 2013. And with a new Congress taking office in just a few weeks, we must begin our grassroots programs immediately. The good news is, thanks to your help, C4L has really made an impact in Washington in the last four years. Audit the Fed is ready to pass again in the U.S. House in the new Congress, after passing in 2012 and getting over 300 House votes and 30 Senate cosponsors. We must push ahead on this vital reform, as well as line up to do battle for a potential new Fed Chairman, as Ben Bernanke is widely rumored to be stepping down in Obama’s second term. And we are ready. You see, Campaign for Liberty has grown like no other Liberty organization in history, both in its number of supporters and in its impact across the country. All thanks to Patriots like you! This comes just in time, because while we must fight for Audit the Fed, I believe most of our time this year will be spent STOPPING statist power grabs like: *** FISA SPYING: A secret court with broad powers that takes actions never seen by the American public. This system allows for warrantless searches and snooping in all aspects of your life, from your bank account to what books you take out of the library. *** Indefinite Detention: We will be faced with another year-long extension of the un-American, unconstitutional policy of detaining Americans without trial. *** Government Control of the Internet: So-called “cybersecurity” bills and the return of power grabs like SOPA threaten our freedom of speech online. And that really is just the tip of the iceberg. New regulations, trillion-dollar budgets, multitrillion dollar wars ... It is a full-time job keeping up with these power grabs. I want to stand and fight every one of them. But today, I regret to inform you - with all the critical battles we’re facing right now - without an IMMEDIATE influx of funds, I will not be able to implement our necessary grassroots plans this January. I’m going to have to start cutting some of our most vital programs. You see, unlike our overlords in the federal government, C4L can’t just print money when the bills come due! Nor would I want to. But the battles we are fighting don’t come cheap. The fact is, I hope you’ll help Campaign for Liberty fight ALL of our battles. But if we are faced with hard choices, I’d rather quit some fights (even though we could win!) than risk losing everything. But before I cut anything, I want to be sure to receive your advice. As I’m sure you’ll agree, the idea that we may have to cut some of our vital programs is not welcome news. And it couldn’t have come at a worse time considering everything we’re facing right now. Any of these battles could be won or lost depending on the resources Campaign for Liberty can spend fighting them. To me, all of these fights are so foundational to our freedoms it’s almost like asking which amendment in the Bill of Rights I would like to keep. That’s why I need your advice. You see, the Big Government crowd isn’t hurting for funds. The statists inside government just tax, borrow, or print money when they need it. Those outside are happy to ride the taxpayer gravy train with their bailouts, their welfare checks, and their bloated government contracts. I’ll tell you up front - I don’t want to quit fighting anywhere. Honestly, I’d rather see just about anything than watch Big Government politicians ham it up for the news cameras after they ram one of their statist schemes into law. I’m sure you feel the same way. I also know that without your financial support, there would be no Campaign for Liberty. That’s why I need YOU to tell me WHICH FIGHT to focus on. But, believe me, there’s no easy choice. Let me lay out the options. Should I concentrate on efforts to stop government’s total takeover of the Internet? The statists' dangerous schemes strike at the heart of everything you and I hold dear. Whether it is shutting down websites, or invading your privacy through government snooping, the statists are coming after the Internet. After our freedom. I don’t know about you, but that sends shivers up my spine. So if stopping Big Government’s Internet Takeover is your number-one priority, please choose "OPTION #1" on your Supporter's Directive. But before you do, please consider what’s at stake with dangerous Civil Liberties power grabs like Indefinite Detention, FISA spying, and others. We cannot continue to trade Liberty for security. Our founders warned us against this, and we ignore them at our peril. Yet every year, it seems the Security State wants more power over our lives. More crackdowns on privacy. More power to simply make those who disagree, disappear. It makes my blood boil. I’m sure you can see why I’m torn. If protecting our liberty from national security state power grabs is where you believe we should concentrate our resources, please choose "OPTION #2" on your Supporter's Directive. And, of course, I haven’t even mentioned AUDIT THE FED yet. Thanks to the help of folks like you, we’re at a truly historic crossroads in our fight. Of course, from here on out, our battle will only get more difficult, with the Fed banksters and their cronies in Congress doing everything they can to stop us. But if you and I can turn Audit the Fed into the law of the land, the American people will finally see how the Federal Reserve drives inflation, creates devastating economic crises, and destroys the middle class... ...and we’ll be well on our way to finally ENDING the Fed once and for all. If you believe we should concentrate solely on the AUDIT THE FED bill, please choose "OPTION #3." Of course, there is one more option. I’ve hesitated until now to bring it up because it’s absolutely critical you understand the situation we’re in. Without an IMMEDIATE and massive influx of funds, I will be FORCED to make cuts to our programs. "OPTION #4" is "FIGHT ALL OF THE ABOVE." Don’t back down. Don’t leave anything to chance. Fight. If you choose this option, I hope you’ll also agree to make a generous contribution to Campaign for Liberty. I know times are tough for many folks. If our backs weren’t against the wall, I wouldn’t even consider it. Erick, if we don’t fight back, who will? So please fill out your Supporter's Directive – and make your most generous contribution – TODAY. Your advice and your support will make all the difference. In Liberty,  John Tate President P.S. The tough economic times are affecting us all - and Campaign for Liberty isn't immune. Without an influx of funds, your Campaign for Liberty will not be able to fully fund its 2013 legislative grassroots agenda. So I need your IMMEDIATE advice. Please fill out your Supporter's Directive and make your most generous contribution to Campaign for Liberty right away.
