Say what's really going on, and go to jail!

Ever since I made the decision a few weeks ago to shut down my secure email company Lavabit - instead of becoming complicit in our federal government's crimes against the American people - that's the situation I've been living under every day.

Unfortunately - even with all the media attention - I have to answer most questions about what our federal government is up to (and what I'm facing) with an "I'm sorry, I can't tell you."

Of course, the First Amendment should protect my political speech so our government can't commit crimes in secret.

But it seems the statists in Washington, D.C. have targeted every last bit of our Constitution for outright destruction.

I'm determined to FIGHT back. I'm determined to defend the Constitution and restore our Fourth Amendment right to privacy.

But going up against the full force of government power is hard.

If there's anything the Feds have, it's no shortage of lawyers!

And I can't tell you what it would mean to me to have Campaign for Liberty's members and supporters standing with me in this fight.

That's why I'm hoping I can count on you to sign your Statement of Support for my efforts today.

I'll give you the link shortly . . .

My hope is, once other tech companies see hundreds of thousands - or perhaps even millions of Americans - standing for privacy, more will be willing to stand alongside me and say "NO!" to crimes against our Constitution.

Thankfully, Campaign for Liberty is already fighting in Congress for the protection of our Fourth Amendment freedoms.

They've also graciously agreed - with your generous support today - to rush to my legal aid, as well.

My attorney and I couldn't be more grateful.

Since shutting down Lavabit, I've lost my main source of income.



But I'm not walking away. I can't.

It's just too important.

     NSA analysts spying on lovers, former spouses and love interests;

***      Nearly 18,000 domestic phone records were checked by the NSA, but "only 1,935 were based on a reasonable suspicion standard" the agency purports to abide by;

***      Roughly 90% of the phone numbers on the daily "alert list" constantly under watch by the NSA DO NOT conform to the NSA's own standards for suspicion;

*** Reports indicate the NSA has collected information on 75% of domestic Internet communications.

Worse, many of the NSA's abuses were "self-reported," meaning we only know about the illegality they want us to know about.

What else are they hiding?



Political leanings. Religious beliefs. Gun ownership.

You name it.

Is this the America we want for ourselves, let alone for future generations?

This madness has to stop.

Our Constitution must be saved.
