Senator Rand Paul
Dear Concerned American,
The establishment is pushing a backroom "deal" to raise the debt limit without really changing the way Washington works.
One day, Speaker Boehner is rumored to be including tax hikes in the deal. Then, the reports turn to a deal to cut small, unspecified, unenforceable amounts in the future.
I can tell you this for certain: Any deal that does not include a strict Balanced Budget Amendment, along with significant, immediate spending cuts that fundamentally change the way Washington operates, is a deal that should be rejected by Republicans in Congress.
It certainly will be rejected by the American people.
Please take a look at the note below from my friend John Tate, President of Campaign for Liberty. C4L has a plan to help stop Congress and the White House from driving our nation over the cliff.
It’s vital you take action today.
For Liberty,
Senator Rand Paul, M.D.
Campaign for Liberty
Dear Concerned American,
The American people are angry RIGHT NOW at the politicians in Washington, and they're also more worried than ever before about America's future.
It's time to draw a line in the sand. It's time to rescue our country and take back our economic freedom. It's time to cut up Washington's credit cards.
That's why Senator Rand Paul has joined over 100 representatives and a handful of other senators in signing the "Cut, Cap, and Balance" pledge to demand that any effort to raise the debt ceiling be rejected unless the federal government is forced to change its ways.
I want to urge you to complete your "Cut, Cap, and Balance" pledge that Campaign for Liberty will send to your representative and senators today before the critical showdown in Congress on raising the debt ceiling takes place in a few short weeks.
You see, the American people's anger - including their massive outpouring of opposition to raising the debt ceiling - is our best weapon against the out-of-control spending in Washington.
Our trillions of dollars in debt are sending us quickly to the brink of a crisis - one that our country may never recover from.
There's not a moment to waste, so please take action immediately.
Click here to sign the pledge
Because as I write this, statist insiders from both parties and the White House are meeting to arrange a "deal" on raising the debt ceiling that does virtually nothing to change the fatal economic course we are on.
All you have to do is turn on the TV, pick up a newspaper, or click through a few of your favorite websites to realize something is dreadfully WRONG.
Bank failures. Bailouts. Failed "stimulus" packages. A surging federal deficit. Unemployment ticking up month by month, week by week.
The price of food, gas, and other basic necessities going up, sometimes on a weekly basis.
You've seen, even after last year's elections, that politicians can't be trusted to stop flushing our tax dollars away.
It is clear - the White House and Congress aren't going to stop unless you and I MAKE them.
Our country's deficit is increasing at a rate of nearly FOUR BILLION dollars a day.
Factoring in the Big Government programs and social welfare spending already "locked in," the average American family is on the hook for nearly $800,000!
That's why it's vital you act TODAY!
You see, I'd love to tell you that there's no reason to worry - that the politicians in Washington are "experts" who are working hard to "get everything under control."
I'd love to tell you that the politicians understand that unless they not only stop increasing - but actually drastically CUT - spending, the U.S. economy will end up nose-diving off a cliff.
And I'd also love to tell you politicians would never saddle our kids and grandkids with debts they can never repay. But that just isn't true. It's business as usual in D.C.
Even after Republicans took control of the House, they didn't balance the budget or substantially change the way government operates. In fact, their plan adds nearly 7 trillion MORE in debt over the next 10 years.
That is shameful. And it proves they won't stop unless they are forced to do so. Right now, Speaker Boehner and establishment Republicans are in negotiation with the White House and Senate Democrats.
What they're talking about would disgust you. They're plotting to raise the debt ceiling by 2.4 TRILLION dollars more now, with the promise of just a few cuts later.
We all know those promises aren't worth the paper they're printed on. And they'll finish off the dollar if we let them get away with their scheme.
Click here to sign the pledge
You and I cannot settle for empty promises to "cut" later, and a bunch of chicken little politicians telling us the sky will fall if they can't continue their borrow-and-spend addiction.
And their claim is laughable on its face. It's like telling a lazy teenager that the best way to get rich is to borrow money and spend even more.
Enough is enough.
If you agree, I hope you'll take action today.
In addition to Senator Paul, we've heard from other allies in the Senate, like Senators DeMint and Lee, that they are willing to stand up to the powers that be in both parties.
It's time we have their backs. That's why your action today is so vital.
Now, before I go any further, I want you to know forcing our tax-and-spend Congress on record isn't going to be easy. The politicians in both parties will fight you and me tooth and nail.
But if we can turn up enough heat - if we can FORCE Congress to heed the will of the American people - I'm confident we can put Congress on notice with one very simple message: Don't RAISE THE DEBT. BALANCE THE BUDGET!
The legislators who have signed the "Cut, Cap, and Balance" pledge have vowed not to vote to give even a dollar more to raise the debt ceiling without the following terms being met:
1)Substantial one-year cuts in spending totaling at least 500 billion dollars.
2)A spending cap law.
3)Passing the Lee/Paul Balanced Budget Amendment.
These conditions are tough for most elected officials to accept. But they're the bare minimum any representative or senator should consider.
You and I must work to ensure a majority of both Houses - and as many Americans as possible - sign this pledge.
Click here to sign the pledge
Here's how Campaign for Liberty plans to do that - hopefully, with your help.
First, we're already busy contacting up to five million activists nationwide through mail, phones, and email to generate pledges to the U.S. Congress demanding they stop the madness.
And that's just the beginning. With your help, we'll work the blogs and write guest editorials.
We'll brief influential writers and columnists who will be sympathetic to our efforts. We'll work the talk radio stations and grant local media interviews to further turn up the pressure.
And a few days before the debt ceiling 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 continues working to destroy our economy should look for another job.
But such a massive effort won't be easy - or cheap. So, in addition to filling out your "Cut, Cap, and Balance" pledge, I also hope you will chip in a contribution of $10, $25, $50 - or whatever you can afford - today.
I know times are hard, but this fight is absolutely critical.
Can I count on you to join the fight to stop the debt ceiling increase by completing your pledge and chipping in a contribution of $10, $25, $50, or whatever you can afford today?
In Liberty,
John Tate
President
P.S. Despite the recent elections and the continued economic crisis, the politicians in both parties seem intent on spending us into total and complete collapse. We must stop them!
Please complete your "Cut, Cap, and Balance" pledge urging your representative and senators to fight against anything that increases the debt ceiling without substantially changing how government operates.

IS JOHN BOEHNER A TRAITOR
Dear Citizens of The United States of America,
Sources on Capitol Hill indicate that Speaker John Boehner may be about to cave in to Barack Obama's demands for a trillion dollars in tax increases in exchange for mostly phony spending and tax cuts in order to raise the debt ceiling.
You and I have to swing in to action right now in order to stop this economy-wrecking, job-killing, "deal."
It's absolutely vital you sign your "Cut, Cap, and Balance" pledge right away.
C4L will fax your pledge to your representative and senators to demonstrate the nation-wide outrage over Republican Leadership's capitulation to President Obama's insistence of a trillion dollars in tax increases as part of any "deal" to raise the debt ceiling.
Even if Boehner cuts some “deal,” there is no reason your representative and senators needs to harm America and commit political suicide with him.
After you sign your pledge (and if you can, chip in a donation to support this urgent project), please call Speaker John Boehner at (202) 225-6205 and tell him that with our economy limping along creating 18,000 jobs last month, he can't choke out what little life is left by rolling over for President Obama's demand for a trillion dollars in tax increases.

CUT UP WASHINGTON'S CREDIT CARD
Senator Rand Paul
Dear Citizens of The United States of America,
The battle must be joined today. We are only days or weeks away from a decision that I believe literally may save our country - or allow it to slide further toward economic ruin.
You see, technically, Congress has reached the debt limit. The credit card is maxed out. So now they're back, demanding more spending. More debt. More damage to our already troubled economy.
I've joined with several senators and representatives to stand up and fight. That's where you come in. We can't do it unless we have millions of Americans speaking out at once.
Campaign for Liberty is helping lead this charge nationwide, but they can't do it without your immediate help.
Time is short, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Please read the email below from my friends at Campaign for Liberty and do all you can to join this fight to save our country.

IS GOV. of TEXAS Rick Perry a Wolf or Sheep
Frank,
If you’re anything like me, you’ve been watching the various Republican Presidential candidates struggle to claim the mantle of “Constitutional Conservative” with some trepidation.
Who, among the candidates, actually supports our Constitutional rights?
Let me tell you, it’s easy to be sucked in by the latest fad candidate -- beloved by the talking heads on TV and radio. Remember that the “beautiful people” in the establishment, political class lie to us for a reason.
They want our support, and will do or say anything to keep it, all the while continuing to protect the apparatus of state that provides them with power.
This is an important lesson for gun owners, who are perpetually the target of Big Government, anti-liberty advocates.
Take Texas Governor Rick Perry for example. From the fawning adulation he’s received from “conservatives” in the media over his flirtation with entering the Presidential race, you’d think he was the second coming of John Wayne, Ronald Reagan and John Galt all put together.
The political establishment doesn’t want to let the truth get in the way of a good story -- or “political narrative,” as the hacks call it.
Despite the veneer of “conservative” and “liberty” language that Perry uses, his patronage by the Big Government Bush family and his record tell a completely different story.
In response to the outrageous invasions of privacy by the Transportation Safety Authority (TSA), liberty-loving conservatives in Texas were trying to outlaw TSA’s “grope-or-radiate” airport security policy -- a clear government assault on your rights.
The policy requires all those traveling by air to submit either to physical pat-downs, which are little more than government sponsored sexual assaults, or invasive and radiation-heavy, semi-pornographic body scans.
There is no question that blocking the use of the “grope-or-radiate” security policy is the right thing to do; heck, even the executive director of the Texas Republican Party pleaded with Perry for passage of the bill.
However, Governor Perry and his stooges in the Texas Legislature decided to play political games with your freedom.
An open record request shows that in a few short days, Governor Perry received over 10,000 e-mails and letters insisting he support the legislation to rein in the TSA. He received only 13 letters in favor of keeping the radiation scanners.
Despite the overwhelming support, Perry delayed.
Taking a page out of the establishment playbook, he claimed that there was a lack of “consensus,” knowing full well all he had to do was delay long enough for the legislative session to end.
Instead of standing up for the liberties and privacy of the people of Texas, Governor Perry and his Big Government accomplices waited until the last day of the session to bring the legislation to the floor, assuring it wouldn’t have enough time to pass both chambers.
Despite intentionally delaying the bill and instructing his accomplices in the Texas Legislature to repeatedly try to poison the bill with amendments, Perry continues to tell everyone on the national stage that he supported the bill.
This is a prime of example of how establishment politicians like Governor Perry try to dupe citizens like you and me. On the one hand they claim to be liberty-minded conservatives, while at the same time, fighting to protect and expand the power of government behind the closed doors of the legislature.
Why does this matter? It's simple.
Gun rights activists MUST oppose ANY attempts by the Federal government to usurp liberty in the name of safety, because ultimately, that same power will be used to ban or greatly restrict gun owners and gun ownership.
Perry and company managed to manipulate the system so that every member could cast a vote in support of the pro-liberty bill -- and clean their skirts with the voters at home -- without the fear that it might actually pass and limit the authority of government.
This sort of establishment calculation is designed specifically to provide cover to weak politicians who can go home to their districts and tell their constituents that they voted the “right” way -- and the beast that is our government continues to grow.
To help cut through the political double speak, my staff has sent a gun rights survey to every announced Republican candidate for President. The survey was written in such a way to cut through the colorful language of the campaign trail and get to the truth about what the candidates believe about your right to keep and bear arms.
As the surveys are returned -- or NOT returned in some cases -- I will be sure to let YOU know the truth about where the Presidential candidates stand on Second Amendment issues.
For Freedom,
signature
Dudley Brown
Executive Director

An open record request shows that in a few short days, Governor Perry received over 10,000 e-mails and letters insisting he support the legislation to rein in the TSA. He received only 13 letters in favor of keeping the radiation scanners.
Despite the overwhelming support, Perry delayed.
Taking a page out of the establishment playbook, he claimed that there was a lack of “consensus,” knowing full well all he had to do was delay long enough for the legislative session to end.
Instead of standing up for the liberties and privacy of the people of Texas, Governor Perry and his Big Government accomplices waited until the last day of the session to bring the legislation to the floor, assuring it wouldn’t have enough time to pass both chambers.
Despite intentionally delaying the bill and instructing his accomplices in the Texas Legislature to repeatedly try to poison the bill with amendments, Perry continues to tell everyone on the national stage that he supported the bill.
This is a prime of example of how establishment politicians like Governor Perry try to dupe citizens like you and me. On the one hand they claim to be liberty-minded conservatives, while at the same time, fighting to protect and expand the power of government behind the closed doors of the legislature.
Why does this matter? It's simple.
Gun rights activists MUST oppose ANY attempts by the Federal government to usurp liberty in the name of safety, because ultimately, that same power will be used to ban or greatly restrict gun owners and gun ownership.
Perry and company managed to manipulate the system so that every member could cast a vote in support of the pro-liberty bill -- and clean their skirts with the voters at home -- without the fear that it might actually pass and limit the authority of government.
This sort of establishment calculation is designed specifically to provide cover to weak politicians who can go home to their districts and tell their constituents that they voted the “right” way -- and the beast that is our government continues to grow.
To help cut through the political double speak, my staff has sent a gun rights survey to every announced Republican candidate for President. The survey was written in such a way to cut through the colorful language of the campaign trail and get to the truth about what the candidates believe about your right to keep and bear arms.
As the surveys are returned -- or NOT returned in some cases -- I will be sure to let YOU know the truth about where the Presidential candidates stand on Second Amendment issues.
For Freedom,

What are we Independent From
THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS ON THINGS, AS I SEE THEM Hi, I am sitting here at the end of the day on the Fourth of July. This Is Our Day Of Independence. There has been celebrations on top of celebrations today. Fireworks are going off all over. I think they are going off more because they are illegal, and not to celebrate our day of Independence. Most, if ask will not know why or what we are Independent from.THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS ON A LOT OF MATTERS. I think of the ones who have died defending their COUNTRY. The land of their grandfathers I think of the warriors who gave not only their all, but their very lives fighting to protect the land they loved and the land that held the bodies of their grandfathers. Our Sacred Mother Gia Tula has ran red with their blood. She received their offering of the lifeless bodies of the warriors. She heard the cries of those mourning. Our Great Creator sadly shakes his head at the GREED of those who spawned the wars. I honor all who fell while fighting for what they believed in and loved. My own linage, Pucksinwah, Chiskwi8a, T'cum8a. Then You have Black Hoof,Black Elk and Geronimo, Sitting Bull and I could go on and on. They fought and died trying to stop the Terrorism that was going on. The Destruction of Whole Tribes, The influx of illegal Immigrants and then we come up to today. My ancestors fought and died defending my freedom, and now my son and the sons of so many others has fought to defend What. Our Freedom, NO,The war today is being fought simply for GREED. Our sons and daughters are dying for the Greed of a Government out of Control. The present war was started WHY> We are told that it was Saddam who had Powerful Weapons of Destruction. NONE WERE FOUND> Then it switched to Ben Laden. He Blew up the Twin Towers. I am sorry to say HE DID NOT.It was an entity that we trust with our security. The twin towers Imploweded not Exploweded. I watched tall tower buildings in Chicago go down the exact same way the twin towers fell. Explosions placed strategicly to bring the building into itself instead of blowing out. You think about it. Believing Ben Laden was responsible for the twin towers is as bad as believing one Magic bullet killed President Kennedy his guard and lord knows what all else that the Government tried to make us believe then. Back to Ben Laden, How Convenient that NO one saw His Body and that He was Conveniently buried at sea. Saddam was plastered all over the news you could not read a Newspaper or watch a TV show without seeing something about him. Now the MOST WANTED man in the WORLD is "KILLED" and ZIP NADDA NOTHING< COME ON PEOPLE ARE YOU REALLY that BLIND. We are on the verge of LOSING what OUR ancestors and the warriors today fought and DIED for. OUR FREEDOM, OUR INDEPENDENCE, HOw is that going to happen? It already is, The very Constitution has been under attack by the US government and the UN. Do you really believe that if our right to own and bear arms is removed that it will be safe. Not only will we be at the mercy of the Ganasta's and such, we will be at the mercy of the U.N. and the U.S. and we WILL be the NEW GERMANY, or the Iraq as it was before the so called Iraqi freedom. Our right to own and bear arms is the ONLY thing stopping Obama and the U.N. from completely making America a police State Nation wide ,under the control of The U.N and it's Gestopo. If you do not see this then start looking at the so called Patriot Act. There is NO freedom in there for us.Ok I have had my say and my thoughts about things. Our very way of life rest on whether you as citizens of the U.S.A. will or will not stand up and defend our Constitution, Rights and FREEDOM against the U.S. and the U.N. If you think your Religious freedom is not at stake think again. START PAYING ATTENTION TO WHO and WHAT YOU VOTE ON . I tell people to be blessed and walk in peace. But sometimes our walk in peace must be with a gun in one hand and a peace sign in the other.
