Lawyers For Ron Paul Have Tentatively Won The Lawsuit Against The RNC

Liberty Political Action Conference from September 13-15

Are you tired of turning on the news and discovering the latest liberty that’s been invaded – or completely taken away – by a Nanny State growing ever more out-of-control?

The odds can seem overwhelming, but you and I are the defenders of principles we know can strengthen our economy, protect our nation, and secure the blessings of liberty for coming generations.

Led by a determination to fight that’s as strong as our confidence in our ideas, C4L battles fiercely for Americans’ liberties on the local, state, and national levels every day.

But before a soldier heads out to the battlefield, he must make sure he has the right equipment and gear to triumph over the enemy.

So one of C4L’s top priorities since our founding in 2008 has been to equip our members with the fundamental tools they need to win.

Not just to defeat bad legislation, although that’s key.

Not just to cause politicians grief, although that’s fun.

But to win on our issues and reclaim our freedoms.

C4L’s trainers have taught thousands of activists how to break their chains and empower themselves in the face of seemingly endless government assaults.

Now, the training that has enabled the passage of legislation including bills to nullify the ObamaCare health insurance mandate and protect our Second Amendment rights – as well as garnered 75% of the U.S. House to vote for a thorough audit of the Federal Reserve – is coming to a state near you.

On Saturday morning, September 15, C4L’s trainers will be in Chantilly, Virginia, for our Liberty Political Action Conference (LPAC).

For four hours, they will show you how to pick a bill sponsor and get the legislature on record in order to prepare for the election season, effectively put pressure on legislators to vote correctly (and turn up the heat if they oppose our issues), see past the politicians’ tricks and distortions that get too many activists off-track, raise the resources needed to fund your efforts, and build a solid foundation for lasting victories in the future.

And if you can attend LPAC on Friday night, you’ll get to hear C4L’s foundational lecture, “The Real Nature of Politics and Politicians.”

The Saturday training is available for only $50.

But I hope you’ll join us for the entire Liberty Political Action Conference from September 13-15.

Congressman Ron Paul, Senator Rand Paul, Senator Mike Lee, Senator Jim DeMint, Congressman Justin Amash, Jack Hunter, Mike Church, Jerry Doyle, and many more will speak to our attendees, and it’s guaranteed to be a weekend you won’t want to miss.

A three-day pass is just $120 and covers all the main stage activities and our Saturday training.

Students pay only $40 for a three-day pass.

One-day passes are also available.

If you sign up for LPAC before August 23, you can reserve your room at the Westfields Marriott at a significant discount.

So don’t let Big Government get you down.

Tear up your victim card and equip yourself with the fundamental tools needed to win on our issues.

One attendee said our training was “[t]he best activist training I have taken so far.  Political reality is laid out in an easy-to-comprehend manner.  They don’t just tell you what the problem is; they give you a road map to strike back.  Absolutely a must-do training event.”

Join thousands of other C4L members who have empowered themselves to take their freedoms back.

Sign up for LPAC today!

In Liberty,

Matt Hawes
Vice President

P.S. The news constantly delivers stories of Big Government invading – or completely taking away – more of our liberties.

So one of C4L’s top priorities since our founding in 2008 has been to equip our members with the fundamental tools they need to fight back – and win.

C4L’s trainers will be in Chantilly, Virginia, on Saturday, September 15, to teach the classes thousands of your fellow members have attended.

I hope you’ll join us and empower yourself to stand up against ever-increasing government power.

Our training is available for only $50, but a three-day pass to hear all of our main stage speakers from September 13-15 includes our training and is only $120.

Students can get a three-day pass for only $40.

Visit www.LPAC.com today to learn more and sign up for the 2012 Liberty Political Action Conference!

At least 18 killed as S. African police open fire on thousands of striking miners (PHOTOS)

At least 18 bodies were seen lying bloody and motionless on the ground after local police opened fire on striking miners, a South African news agency reports. Some of the protesters were allegedly armed with machetes and spears.
­The incident is believed to have occurred after police, in the process of laying down barricades of barbed wire, were outflanked by a crowd of 3,000 demonstrators. 
Nine people had been killed prior to Thursday’s clashes in a spate of protest in the mining town, located northwest of Johannesburg. The platinum mine, owned by Lonmin PLC, has been the focal point of protests over wage disputes since last Friday.
Fighting intensified over the weekend when two police officers were killed. Striking workers and local security guards have also been caught up in the violence.
Some 3,000 police massed in the area on Wednesday, some wearing riot gear and supported by helicopters. Demonstrators were reinforced on Thursday by a group of women pledging to stand by their husbands in their demand for increased wages.
Lonmin announced that the disruption means the company is unlikely to meet its 2012 production targets.  Shares in the company have tumbled 6 percent following Thursday’s violence, bringing total losses since the outset of the strike to 13 percent.

Tragic anti-Family shooting

I’m sure you’ve already heard about the tragic shooting yesterday at the headquarters for a major pro-Family organization.

While details are still emerging, a radical homosexual activist entered the main building of the Family Research Council with the intent to assault or even kill their staff.

Thank God, he was stopped by the heroic actions of security guard Leo Johnson.

Our prayers are going out to Mr. Johnson, who was wounded in the attack, and his family.

Fortunately he is already stable and recovering after surgery.

The shooter has been positively identified as a radical homosexual activist.

He was even carrying a backpack stuffed with Chick-fil-A sandwiches in a reference to the pro-Family fight waged over the company’s pro-marriage stance.

I wish I could say that this was an isolated incident, but I am afraid it is a dire warning of things to come.

For months now, the Homosexual Lobby has systematically decried the pro-Family Movement as “hateful” and our message of real marriage and family values as “hate speech.”

They claim we are as dangerous as Neo-Nazis or the KKK.

Is it any wonder that one of their members decided to take matters into his own hands?

Let me assure you I am taking the appropriate steps to keep myself and my staff safe without sacrificing any of our work.

We will not be intimidated by violence.


Sincerely,


Eugene Delgaudio
President, Public Advocate of the United States
