Dear Philip,
Senator Paul just kicked off hour
ten of his filibuster!
He's filibustering in objection to the Obama Administration's claims of authority to use drones to kill Americans on American soil without due process.
He sent an email out just before he started his filibuster, which you can read below.
As Rand said when he started:
"I will speak until I can no longer speak, I will speak as long as it takes, until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast that our constitution is important, that your right to trial by jury is precious, that no American should be killed on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first
being found to be guilty by a court."
Philip, it's never been more important you "Stand with Rand."
So please sign your Declaration of Rights Petition IMMEDIATELY and agree to your most generous contribution to help RandPAC mobilize more Americans to turn up the heat on the Senate!
And after you sign, please show your support for Rand Paul by FORWARDING this email to your friends and family!
Please Stand with Rand TODAY!
In Liberty,
Liz S.
Dear Liz,
I've just launched a floor takeover of the U.S. Senate.
My colleagues may want to believe everything is "business as usual" even after yesterday's news.
But they're in for something else entirely.
Click on CSPAN if you'd like to watch...
But first, please realize it's never been more important you to stand with me today.
I'm going on a one-man filibuster to stop John Brennan's nomination to the CIA and the RADICAL new claim I received from Attorney General Eric Holder yesterday afternoon...
By now, you've probably heard that Eric Holder finally answered my question saying that President Obama CAN legally order drone strikes – killing American citizens on American soil – at will.
That's without any due process. That's without any judicial oversight.
This cannot be allowed to stand.
Philip, that's why I'm counting on you to sign your Declaration of Rights petition I've made up for you urging my colleagues in Congress to stop this madness.
When I read Attorney General Holder's letter, I could hardly believe what I was reading.
Isn't government claiming the authority to assassinate its own citizens on its own soil something you hear about in Third World dictatorships?
Has our Republic really sunk this far?
Will Americans see our skies filled with government drones outfitted with missiles meant for us?
Already, domestic spy drones are being outfitted with the ability to track cell phones and detect if law-abiding citizens are carrying firearms.
This is outrageous.
Please sign your Declaration of Rights petition IMMEDIATELY.
And if possible, please make your most generous contribution to RANDPAC today to help me mobilize more Americans to stop this radical scheme.
Whatever you can do -- $250, $100, $50, $35, or even $10 or $5 – will help tremendously.
Please stand with me today.
In Liberty,
Senator Rand Paul
P.S. Yesterday, Attorney General Eric Holder told me in a letter, our federal government is legally able to use drone strikes on American soil to murder Americans without any due process.
This cannot be allowed to stand.
Please sign your Declaration of Rights petition urging my colleagues in Congress to stop this madness immediately.
And please, if at all possible, make your most generous contribution of $250, $100, $50, $35, or even $10 or $5 to RANDPAC TODAY!
