Just three weeks from today, Barack Obama will be sworn in as the next President of the United States. Joining him will be larger, more emboldened liberal Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress.
The most liberal member of the U.S. Senate has just been elected president and his party controls the rest of government… who is going to stop them?
No longer can we hope for a presidential veto to stop anti-freedom legislation, obviously. Even our hope for Senate filibusters from a principled minority to stall laws that would raise our taxes, grow the government, and steal our freedoms is nearly gone, given the Democratic caucus has grown to just short of a filibuster-proof majority.
The only check on liberal Democratic power in Washington will be loud grassroots opposition.
However our only hope to mount an effective challenge depends on your continued support today. That’s why, with time so short, I write to ask you to please send – as fast as you can – the most generous special, year-end donation to FreedomWorks you can afford.
Make no mistake: we are at a precipice, a critical juncture in American history.
But in the midst of this darkness, we have an opportunity to make the case for free markets and limited government like never before. What you and I do right now, today, could very well save capitalism next year and lead to a resurgence of liberty in two years.
But I have to tell you in full honesty, we could crumble in a socialist ash heap – especially if we don’t make our stand together now.
Today, it is unclear which path history will follow tomorrow, or which fate the cause of liberty will realize.
I don’t need to remind you what will be at the top of President Obama’s, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s agendas come Inauguration Day on January 20: Higher taxes. More government. Less freedom.
I believe that we are closer than ever to when the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission!
In these uncertain times, I am certain there is more need now for FreedomWorks than there has been since our founding 24 years ago.
I remain convinced that Sam Adams was right when he said, “It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds.”
We are that tireless minority.
You and I and others like us are the only remaining check on the ambitions of those burning for ever-more government control. And we must fight harder than ever for the ideals on which our country was founded, which have brought unprecedented freedom and prosperity to every American.
Will you join me by sending a special, year-end gift of $25, $50, $75 or even $100 to FreedomWorks today?
We must prepare now if we are to have any hope in the battles ahead. That’s why your most general support now – through a special, year-end donation – is so desperately needed. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Matt Kibbe
