From Campaign For Liberty:
Wednesday night, the Senate defeated the latest attempt to ram through Senator Lieberman's "Cybersecurity Act of 2012."
Thanks to your quick action, we won an important victory despite finding out about Reid's plans fewer than 24 hours before the vote.
After being defeated on this issue yet again, even Harry Reid was forced to admit, "Cybersecurity is dead for this Congress."
Enter Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell...
... who on Thursday actually said he hopes the bill will come up again in December!
Why in the world would he make such a statement?
Well, apparently McConnell voted the right way Wednesday simply because Reid limited the amendments that could be offered to the bill.
So how many others didn't shove this bill down our throats just because Harry Reid didn't allow an open amendment process?
The simple truth is, there are far too many members of the Senate eager to secure more government control over the Internet.
We can't assume anything - or let down our guard for a moment.
That's why I'm asking you to contact Mitch McConnell by phone at 202-224-2541 and by email today with a simple message - "No Deals!"
Growing government power is about the only bipartisan action we can expect from Congress nowadays.
Have "leaders" in Washington really learned NOTHING from the election?
Millions of Americans were sick of the status quo and simply stayed home.
Grassroots activists want leaders who will STAND UP for their right to privacy and for their freedoms online - not just because the process the bill comes up under is flawed, but because fighting for freedom is the right thing to do!
As Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell (whose number once again is 202-224-2541) needs to lead on principle.
If the Republican Party ever hopes to find its way out of the latest wilderness it has wandered into, then it must stop being the "Big Government-lite" party.
And if the Internet is to remain a vibrant resource for technological innovation and the open exchange of information, Big Brother must keep its grabby mitts OFF.
C4L's message is getting through, as support for the so-called "cybersecurity" bill actually decreased by one senator since they last acted on it in August.
We will continue to apply pressure with the mailgrams we've received from thousands of activists like you, but we need your help today to double-down!
Please take a moment to contact Mitch McConnell by phone at 202-224-2541 and by email right away.
Tell him to oppose ANY efforts to pass Lieberman's "Cybersecurity Act of 2012" or any other legislation during the lame-duck session to give government more power over the Internet.
In Liberty,
John Tate
President
P.S. Wednesday night, Harry Reid's latest attempt to ram through Senator Lieberman's "Cybersecurity Act of 2012" failed - thanks to your quick action.
But now Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who voted against it, says he hopes the bill comes up again in December - just with an open amendment process!
So please contact Mitch McConnell by phone at 202-224-2541 and by email today with a simple message - "No Deals!"
Tell him to oppose ANY efforts to pass Lieberman's "Cybersecurity Act of 2012" or any other legislation during the lame-duck session to give government more power over the Internet.

More restrictions on the internet is something none of us wants and if you are like-minded then by all means contact Senator Mitch McConnell and tell him to leave the net alone.

Audit the Fed is going to the Senate
From Campaign For Liberty:
Ben Bernanke and his out-of-control bankster cronies seem determined to drive our economy straight off a cliff and destroy our dollar in the process. If you saw the Fed put its foot on the gas announcing QE3 last week, you could hardly come to any other conclusion.
Even after the QE1 and QE2 FAILURES, the Fed is back to its old tricks and pumping even more money into our economy - to the tune of $40 BILLION per month.
Indefinitely. There's no end in sight.
It's up to you and me to stop the madness and strip the Fed's corruption naked before the American people by finally auditing the Federal Reserve. That's why I'm counting on you to please sign your Action Fax Authorization Form IMMEDIATELY.
By signing your form, you'll allow me to flood the U.S. Senate - including Harry Reid's office - with faxes from good folks like you DEMANDING passage of Audit the Fed. But with the U.S. Senate likely to recess after next weekend, this may be our last opportunity in this Congress. The good news is, Senator Rand Paul is working feverishly right now to bring Audit the Fed to the Senate floor.
But success or failure in this fight depends on the support of grassroots activists like you from all across the country. As you know, nearly 75% of the American people support an audit of the Federal Reserve. And as recently as 2010 - when he was facing a tough reelection - Senator Reid stated he supported a Federal Reserve audit!
But when Audit the Fed recently passed the U.S. House, Harry Reid immediately declared there would be NO Senate vote on auditing the Fed. But control of the U.S. Senate is up for grabs this November. So it's up to you and me to send a message to the U.S. Senate: Go against the wishes of nearly 75% of the American people, and find a new job. So please, help send a loud-and-clear message to the U.S. Senate by signing your Action Fax Authorization Form IMMEDIATELY.
Your Action Fax - along with hundreds of thousands of others - will prove to Harry Reid that the American people are FED up and want to see a bright public spotlight shined on the Federal Reserve. But as I told you, time is running out.
In Liberty,
John Tate
President

This may be now or never for Audit the Fed if we miss this opportunity we may lose the momentum and not get this through the new congress so now is the time. Sign the action fax to let the Senate know you mean business when you demanded the Fed be held accountable.

CISPA dead-for now
From Campaign For Liberty:
Thanks to your efforts and those of thousands of liberty activists across the country, by a vote of 52-46, the Senate defeated Senator Lieberman's Cybersecurity Act of 2012 - for now.
Unfortunately, bad legislation frequently shares a trait with Hollywood movie villain, Freddy Krueger.
No matter how many times you kill it, it just keeps coming back.
As the statists continue to try and centralize control over the internet, you and I can guarantee this legislation will rear its ugly head again in September.
After using this August recess to regroup and refocus their attack, there is a real threat Harry Reid and his cronies will have the votes to shove this bill down our throats.
While today's victory will have defeated the so-called Cybersecurity Act momentarily, it's absolutely vital the liberty movement remain vigilant.
But for now, thank you for taking action to defeat this legislation.
In Liberty,
Matt Hawes
Vice President
P.S. Thanks to your efforts and those of thousands of liberty activists across the country, today we defeated Lieberman's Cybersecurity Act of 2012 - for now.
Unfortunately, you and I can guarantee this legislation will once again rear its ugly head in September.
The price for liberty is eternal vigilance and so we will be watching and see if they come up with some liberty killing monstrosity and if they do we will defeat it. It's that simple.

HR 459 passes the House
From Campaign For Liberty:
Minutes ago, the U.S. House voted to pass our Audit the Fed bill!
For more information, and to find out how your representative voted, be sure to check Voting Roll Call.
Thanks for your help to achieve this historic victory!
Only a few years ago, few would have believed that two thirds of the U.S. House would support a complete audit of the Federal Reserve.
It’s time to further shock the establishment by carrying our momentum over into the Senate.
And that’s where Audit the Fed faces its toughest test yet.
Ben Bernanke and his bankster pals know they can count on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and their other allies to do everything in their power to stop our transparency effort.
With your support today, we can unleash a grassroots tidal wave of action and show these “Wall Street Senators” that who they really should be worried about serving is their constituents – instead of providing cover to the Fed’s destruction of our money and economy.
Any amount you can give today will help us spread the word through email, direct mail, ads, and more!
The energy, enthusiasm, and passion are on our side – and so is a major victory in the U.S. House.
You and I CAN win this fight.
Thanks again for your support!
In Liberty,
Matt Hawes
Vice President
P.S. H.R. 459, our Audit the Fed bill, has passed the House!
Ben Bernanke and his bankster pals know they can count on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and their other allies to do everything in their power to fight our transparency effort.
So C4L must be able to unleash a grassroots tidal wave of pressure on the Senate right away.
You,me,we did it. Way to go and give yourselves a pat on the back. The fight is far from over now we have to the Senate to contend with. There will be more on HR 459 so stay tuned.
