    Grassfire Alert:

    Dear Thomas,

    In a letter to Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Monday, Attorney General Eric Holder wrote that the President has the constitutional authority to use deadly spy drone strikes against American citizens on U.S. soil:

    ”It is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States.”

    But what constitutes ”an extraordinary circumstance”? Is it a citizen lawfully carrying a concealed weapon? A Tea Party member who opposes Obama’s statist agenda? A conservative who views marriage as the sacred union between one man and one woman? Or could it be simply a person who voted against the President?

    + + ”More Than Frightening”

    Sen. Paul — who heroically filibustered Obama CIA director nominee John Brennan on Capitol Hill until early this morning — calls Holder’s refusal to rule out the possibility of drone strikes against American citizens on U.S. soil ”more than frightening,” adding:

    “It is an affront the constitutional due-process rights of all Americans.”

    When pressed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing yesterday, Holder did finally agree that it would be unconstitutional to target an American terror suspect if he or she didn’t pose an imminent threat.

    But the constitutionality of something doesn’t really seem to matter to Obama and the Left. Over the past five years, they’ve shown nothing but contempt for the Constitution — crushing our rights with ObamaCare and threatening our Second Amendment right to defend ourselves.

    + + Oppose The Unconstitutional Use Of Spy Drones

    That’s why Grassfire has launched our ”I Oppose The Unconstitutional Use Of Spy Drones” national petition. We’re giving you a voice by enabling you to take immediate action and condemn efforts by the Obama administration to violate our rights as American citizens.

    Go here now and be one of our first team members to sign this important petition:

    http://www.grassfire.com/984/petition.asp

    Grassfire’s goal is to deliver 50,000 signatures on Capitol Hill by next week. As soon as we reach this important plateau, our representatives will hand-deliver our ”I Oppose The Unconstitutional Use Of Spy Drones” petition to the Department of Justice, the House and Senate Intelligence Committees and key members of Congress — including Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.

    + + Thomas, do you trust this administration?

    Grassfire is urging every member of our team to take immediate action and challenge the possibility of drone strikes against American citizens on U.S. soil. Let us represent you on Capitol Hill by going here:

    Thank you, in advance, for your support.

    Stand With Rand: Take the Pledge

    Campaign for Liberty

    Dear Thomas,

    Last night, Senator Rand Paul led a historic filibuster against Barack Obama’s targeted drone strikes on American citizens.

    By the end of the night, numerous senators found their way to the floor to Stand With Rand!

    But not Senator Lindsey Graham.

    When Senator Graham finally found his way to the floor this morning, it wasn’t to side with the American people in this common-sense fight.

    Instead, Lindsey Graham enthusiastically attacked Rand Paul for filibustering, saying ”it’s not fair to the President” because the decision to murder American citizens should ”reside in the Commander in Chief.”

    And to no one’s surprise, Senator John McCain joined his statist buddy to ridicule Rand Paul for having the nerve to oppose our government murdering American citizens.

    What was Rand Paul’s crime?

    He simply wanted Attorney General Eric Holder to answer the question, ”does the President have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil?”

    Well, just this afternoon, Barack Obama caved – and Eric Holder answered Rand Paul’s question with a ”NO.”

    Thomas, Rand Paul’s victory against the establishment proves there’s never been a better time for freedom-loving Americans to stand up to an out-of-control, reckless government.

    That’s why I’m counting on you to help take back our country from the statists by signing your I Stand With Rand pledge IMMEDIATELY.

    The truth is, the establishment wants to hike taxes every bit as much as Barack Obama does. The establishment wants to increase government regulations every bit as much as Barack Obama does.

    And the establishment wants liberty-minded folks like you to SHUT UP and go away every bit as much as Barack Obama does.

    Like many Americans, you’re probably just hoping this nightmare will come to an end.

    But the only way to save your country and your freedoms is to fight for them.

    And over the next several weeks, you and I are going to face an all-out assault on our freedoms from members of both parties.

    Tax hikes. Massive spending increases. Internet regulations. More Republican sellouts on our God-given liberties.

    Lindsey Graham’s new gun control scheme.

    The battle has already begun in the new Congress, and it’s only going to get more intense.

    If there’s ever a time to stand up to the establishment and say ”NO MORE,” it’s now, while the eyes of the nation and the world are turned to Senator Paul’s stand yesterday.

    Can I count on you to help send that loud-and-clear message to the establishment by signing your I Stand With Rand pledge?

    Last night, Rand Paul stood on the floor of the Senate for almost 13 hours, refusing to back down no matter how much he was mocked by the statist echo chamber.

    With C4L’s members making their voices heard, more senators clearly got the message they had better go on the record to Stand With Rand, proving that if liberty-minded Americans continue to apply consistent and firm pressure, you and I can turn this country around.

    So please sign your I Stand With Rand pledge IMMEDIATELY.

    And if you can go one step further and chip in $10 or $20 to help Campaign for Liberty mobilize millions of liberty-minded Americans, I’d really appreciate it.

    My goal is to flood the offices of establishment politicians with hundreds of thousands of I Stand With Rand pledges and watch their jaws hit the floor.

    So please pledge to Stand With Rand TODAY!

    In Liberty,

    John Tate
    President

    And if you can go one step further and donate just $10 or $20, Campaign for Liberty will be able to reach more people with the liberty message and further strengthen our cause.
