November 25 , 2020 ( NewsBusters ) — The left-wing news media didn ’ t just poison the information environment with their incessantly negative coverage of President Trump going into the 2020 election .
They also refused to give airtime to important arguments of the Republican campaign — both pro-Trump and anti-Biden — which meant millions of voters cast their ballots knowing only what the media permitted them to know about the candidates .
To measure the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ censorship on the election , the Media Research Center asked The Polling Company to survey 1,750 Biden voters in seven swing states ( Arizona , Georgia , Michigan , Nevada , North Carolina , Pennsylvania and Wisconsin ) , six of which ( all but North Carolina ) were called for Biden ( survey details below ) .
We tested these voters ’ knowledge of eight news stories — all important topics that our ongoing analysis had shown the liberal news media had failed to cover properly .
We found that a huge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voters were unaware of at least one of these key items , with five percent saying they were unaware of all eight of the issues we tested .
This lack of information proved crucial : One of every six Biden voters we surveyed ( 17 % ) said they would have abandoned the Democratic candidate had they known the facts about one or more of these news stories .
A shift of this magnitude would have changed the outcome in all six of the swing states won by Joe Biden , and Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ term as president .
■ Burying Biden ’ s Bad News : The media ’ s censorship of Biden ’ s scandals had the strongest impact on this year ’ s election .
According to our survey , more than one-third of Biden voters ( 35.4 % ) were unaware of the serious allegations brought against the Democratic nominee by Tara Reade , a former staffer who said Biden sexually assaulted her in the 1990s .
If they had known about Tara Reade ’ s sexual assault allegations , 8.9 % told us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ either switching to Trump or a 3rd party candidate , not voting for any presidential candidate , or not voting at all .
By itself , this would have flipped all six of the swing states won by Biden ( Arizona , Georgia , Michigan , Nevada , Pennsylvania and Wisconsin ) , giving the President a win with 311 electoral college votes .
Even more Biden voters ( 45.1 % ) said they were unaware of the financial scandal enveloping Biden and his son , Hunter ( a story infamously censored by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ignored by the liberal media ) .
According to our poll , full awareness of the Hunter Biden scandal would have led 9.4 % of Biden voters to abandon the Democratic candidate , flipping all six of the swing states he won to Trump , giving the President 311 electoral votes .
The ticket ’ s left-wing ideology was another issue barely mentioned by the national press .
A GovTrack analysis found Biden ’ s running mate , California Senator Kamala Harris , had the most left-wing record of any Senator in 2019 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sanders ) .
Our poll found that 25.3 % of Biden voters said they didn ’ t know about Senator Harris ’ s left-wing ideology .
If voters had the complete story , it would have led 4.1 % of Biden voters to change their vote , flipping Arizona , Georgia , Nevada , Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to Trump .
The result would have been a Trump victory , with 295 electoral college votes .
■ Hiding Trump ’ s Successes : The liberal media also prevented many Biden voters from learning about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leading up to the election .
The five pre-election jobs reports from June 5 to October 2 showed a record 11,161,000 jobs were created in the extraordinary snapback from the pandemic recession .
Yet a large number of Biden voters ( 39.4 % ) said they didn ’ t know about this achievement .
If they had , 5.4 % said they would have changed their vote ; this would have swung Arizona , Georgia , Nevada , Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to Trump , who would have won with 295 electoral votes .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a huge jump in economic growth — 33.1 % on an annual basis , double the previous record .
Yet nearly half of Biden voters ( 49.0 % ) said they had no idea about this record-breaking achievement .
Armed with that information , 5.6 % said they would have changed their vote , swinging Arizona , Georgia , Nevada , Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and a total of 295 electoral votes to Trump .
We saw the same effect when it came to foreign policy .
The President and his team made history @ @ @ @ @ @ @ several of her Arab neighbors — one reason Trump received three nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize .
Yet 43.5 % of Biden voters had no idea about these historic agreements .
The information would have led five percent of overall Biden voters to change their vote , putting Trump in front in Arizona , Georgia , Nevada , Pennsylvania and Wisconsin , for a total of 295 electoral votes .
Energy independence was another Trump success .
The President took action to start long-stalled pipeline projects and expand drilling offshore and in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with America becoming a net exporter of oil for the first time in September 2019 .
More than half ( 50.5 % ) of Biden voters said they did not know about this important accomplishment , either .
If the information was known by all , 5.8 % of Biden ’ s voters say they would have changed how they voted .
This would have changed the outcome in Arizona , Georgia , Nevada , Pennsylvania and Wisconsin , putting Trump in front with 295 electoral college votes .
One important issue that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2020 : the coronavirus pandemic .
But what made the news every night was criticism of the President and his administration .
Lost in the blistering barrage of bad news were successes such as Operation Warp Speed , which even before the election was well on track to deliver 300,000,000 doses of a safe vaccine as soon as next year .
Our poll found 36.1 % of Biden voters said they did not know about the administration ’ s key role in promoting vaccine research through Operation Warp Speed .
If they had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have abandoned Biden , flipping Arizona , Georgia , Nevada , Pennsylvania and Wisconsin , giving the President 295 electoral votes .
■ Putting It All Together : Looking at all eight of these issues together , our poll found that a total of 17 % of Biden ’ s voters told us they would have changed their vote if they had been aware of one or more of these important stories .
This would have moved every one of the swing states into Trump ’ s column , some by a huge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden in the electoral college , 311 to 227 .
In Pennsylvania , 15 % of Biden voters said they would have defected .
Using the reported vote totals as of noon on November 19 , this would have reduced his total by 518,204 votes , flipping the state to Trump .
In Michigan , the percentage who would have left Biden was 14 % , deducting 392,966 from his tally and flipping that state , too .
In Georgia , 15 % of Biden ’ s voters say they would have defected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ votes out of his column , and putting Trump comfortably ahead .
In Arizona , 21 % say they would have changed their vote , deducting 351,150 from Biden ’ s column and putting Trump in front there , too .
In Wisconsin , Biden would have lost 13 % of his voters , taking away 211,987 from his column .
In Nevada , the percentage of those who would have left Biden was 18 % , or 126,627 voters .
Such a shift would have put both of those states in Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In the final state we polled , North Carolina , 21 % of Biden ’ s voters say they would have changed their minds , deducting 563,703 votes from his total and significantly bolstering Trump ’ s margin of victory in that state . ]
It ’ s important to note that not all of these voters would have switched to President Trump , of course ( although about 6 % of Biden ’ s voters say that ’ s exactly what they would have done ) .
Just by choosing to abandon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all six of these states , and a second term , to the President — if the news media had properly informed them about the two candidates .
The most basic principle of our electoral system is that our leaders are chosen by the people themselves .

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition In a bombshell press conference, President Trump's legal team has revealed evidence of alleged massive voter fraud in several constituencies key to election victory in 2020. Appealing to every American, Rudy Giuliani, Team Trump's lead counsel, said: "Joe Biden is in the lead because of invalid and illegal ballots. Give us an opportunity to prove it in court, and we will." Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition asking state legislators, IN EVERY U.S. STATE, not to allow election certification of their state until all of the evidence has been ruled on and every legal challenge exhausted. This is not about President Trump or former Vice President Biden...at this stage, our republic and the integrity of our elections literally hang in the balance. The claims of voter fraud made by Team Trump were very alarming, but here are some of the worst: The lack of oversight and security of mail-in ballots;
Direction by some election officials to election workers to violate election statutes;
The eviction of Republican observers who were kept away from inspecting ballots in some cities;
Instances of 'overvoting', where more ballots were cast in some precincts than registered voters;
The arrival of thousands of ballots - all marked for Biden - at one count center, in the middle of the night And, all of the these claims are backed-up by sworn affidavits of people who allegedly witnessed these fraudulent actions take place. Please CLICK HERE to read LifeSiteNews' article detailing the evidence of alleged voter fraud brought to light by Team Trump. And please CLICK HERE to see an example of overvoting, also alluded to by Giuiliani as having occurred in Michigan. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition asking ALL 50 STATE LEGISLATURES to wait till all claims of voter fraud have been investigated and litigated before certifying the election results for their states. Thank you for helping to see that justice is served and that all alleged wrongdoing can be brought to light. Thank you for helping to secure our republic. **Photo Credit: Screen capture from live press conference streamed on LifeSite Hide Petition Text Sign this Petition
This lack of information proved crucial: One of every six Biden voters we surveyed (17%) said they would have abandoned the Democratic candidate had they known the facts about one or more of these news stories. A shift of this magnitude would have changed the outcome in all six of the swing states won by Joe Biden, and Donald Trump would have comfortably won a second term as president.
Here’s what we found:

Even more Biden voters (45.1%) said they were unaware of the financial scandal enveloping Biden and his son, Hunter (a story infamously censored by Twitter and Facebook, as well as ignored by the liberal media). According to our poll, full awareness of the Hunter Biden scandal would have led 9.4% of Biden voters to abandon the Democratic candidate, flipping all six of the swing states he won to Trump, giving the President 311 electoral votes.
The ticket’s left-wing ideology was another issue barely mentioned by the national press. A GovTrack analysis found Biden’s running mate, California Senator Kamala Harris, had the most left-wing record of any Senator in 2019 (even more than self-described socialist Bernie Sanders). Our poll found that 25.3% of Biden voters said they didn’t know about Senator Harris’s left-wing ideology.

Armed with that information, 5.6% said they would have changed their vote, swinging Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and a total of 295 electoral votes to Trump.
We saw the same effect when it came to foreign policy.

The information would have led five percent of overall Biden voters to change their vote, putting Trump in front in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, for a total of 295 electoral votes.
Energy independence was another Trump success. The President took action to start long-stalled pipeline projects and expand drilling offshore and in the Arctic, and it paid off with America becoming a net exporter of oil for the first time in September 2019. More than half (50.5%) of Biden voters said they did not know about this important accomplishment, either. If the information was known by all, 5.8% of Biden’s voters say they would have changed how they voted.

In Pennsylvania, 15% of Biden voters said they would have defected. Using the reported vote totals as of noon on November 19, this would have reduced his total by 518,204 votes, flipping the state to Trump. In Michigan, the percentage who would have left Biden was 14%, deducting 392,966 from his tally and flipping that state, too.
In Georgia, 15% of Biden’s voters say they would have defected based on full information, taking 370,838 votes out of his column, and putting Trump comfortably ahead. In Arizona, 21% say they would have changed their vote, deducting 351,150 from Biden’s column and putting Trump in front there, too.

lifesitenews--2020-11-25--Mary Wagner challenge to law denying humanity of unborn child filed at Canadian Supreme Court

November 25 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — A landmark Charter challenge to the Canadian law that denies the humanity of the child in the womb has been filed with the Supreme Court of Canada .
Mary Wagner , well-known pro-life advocate and inspiration for the burgeoning Red Rose Rescue movement in the United States , launched the Charter challenge during the course of her 2013 trial on charges of mischief .
She had been arrested on August 15 , 2012 , while attempting to peacefully intervene to save unborn children and their mothers from the violence of abortion at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 11 , 2020 , her lawyer , Dr. Charles Lugosi , submitted a 155-page application with the Supreme Court setting out his arguments for seeking leave to appeal the lower court rulings quashing Wagner ’ s Charter challenge and rejecting her legal defence .
The significance of the case can not be overstated , according to John Bulsza , the veteran London-based pro-life activist who has been raising funds during the eight-year-long journey to the Supreme Court .
“ This case is our case .
It will mean the end of abortion in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an earlier interview .
“ It has been the goal all along , if necessary , to reach the Supreme Court of Canada .
Now , that goal has become a reality for Mary and the rest of us !
” said Bulsza .
Lugosi argued on Wagner ’ s behalf in 2013 that Section 223 of Canada ’ s Criminal Code is unconstitutional .
That section states : “ A child becomes a human being within the meaning of the Act when it has completely proceeded , in a living state , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lugosi contended that this violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Section 7 guarantee of an individual ’ s right to “ life , liberty and security of person.
” It also violates the Charter ’ s Section 15 guarantee that : “ Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law ... .
” Additionally , Section 223 also obstructs Wagner ’ s legal defence for her peaceful intervention at abortion centers under Section 37 of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time of her arrest that : “ Everyone is justified in using force to defend himself or any one under his protection from assault… , ” Lugosi argued .
Wagner ’ s defence was that “ any one ” included the unborn child who was in need of protection from imminent deadly assault by the abortionist .
However , Justice Fergus O ’ Donnell of the Ontario Court of Justice rejected all Lugosi ’ s arguments , and on June 12 , 2014 , he convicted Wagner and sentenced her to time served @ @ @ @ @ @ @ six years altogether behind bars for her pro-life advocacy , was then released after almost 22 months in jail .
In December 2016 Lugosi , who earned a doctorate in juridical science from the University of Pennsylvania , argued his appeal of O ’ Donnell ’ s decision in a three-day hearing in front the Ontario Superior Court Justice Tamara Dunnet .
She dismissed the appeal on all counts three weeks later .
Lugosi then filed a request for leave to appeal with the Ontario Court of Appeal , and in September 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But what appeared to be a final blow to the case in fact opened the door to the Supreme Court of Canada , because the top court has discretion to hear appeals on any lower court decision on issues of “ national importance.
” In his application seeking leave to appeal , Lugosi pointed out that the Supreme Court has never been presented with or decided on the “ precise narrow Charterquestion ” of whether the “ everyone ” guaranteed a right to life under the Charter ’ s Section 7 includes the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it does .
Regarding Section 15 ( 1 ) of the Charter , which bestows equality rights to “ every individual , ” Lugosi argued that “ every individual means a natural ‘ human being ’ ” and that experts at Wagner ’ s trial testified that “ a new and unique human being comes into existence at the moment of its conception , ” and Crown prosecutors did not contest this evidence .
“ A law passed by Parliament that excludes one class of human beings from the definition of human @ @ @ @ @ @ @ constitutional law , ” he noted .
“ Courts have a duty to rise above political debate and tackle challenging questions , including whether Parliament ’ s definition of ‘ human being ’ infringes the constitutional right to life of unborn human beings , ” he wrote .
If the Court ultimately strikes down Section 223 ( 1 ) of the Criminal Code as unconstitutional “ because it exceeds the power of Parliament to decide who is and who is not a human being , ” abortion will then revert to “ homicide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Canada , ” Lugosi told LifeSiteNews in an earlier interview.
” Wagner also emphasized the significance of the case .
“ The courts have heard few voices pleading for our littlest brothers and sisters in the decades since abortion was decriminalized , ” she told LifeSiteNews in an earlier email .
“ For this reason alone , this case is important .
We ( not ‘ I ’ , since this case is not my own personal fight but ours ) , have an obligation to defend those who can not speak for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Wagner said .
“ Even if the courts refuse to rule in favor of the truth , thanks to all who support this case spiritually or materially , the truth has been spoken — and will be spoken to the highest court of this land — on behalf of God ’ s littlest ones , ” she added .
“ Above all , please pray for the success of this case in defense of the unborn and for the healing of suffering post-abortive mothers and all women considering abortion.
” Bulsza reiterated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the landmark Charter challenge .
With the goal of a Supreme Court appeal in sight , “ we ask for sacrificial giving so that all the previous efforts and sacrifices will not have been in vain .
Prayers are in order too !
” Gwen Landolt of REAL Women , who has argued a number of cases before the Supreme Court , told LifeSiteNews that Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner will assign one justice to decide if the full court will hear the appeal .
She said that there is no way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a ruling on whether it will grant leave to appeal , but her educated guess was that it likely won ’ t be until the new year .

'Even if the courts refuse to rule in favor of the truth, thanks to all who support this case spiritually or materially, the truth has been spoken — and will be spoken to the highest court of this land — on behalf of God’s littlest ones,' Wagner told LifeSiteNews.
November 25, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — A landmark Charter challenge to the Canadian law that denies the humanity of the child in the womb has been filed with the Supreme Court of Canada.
Mary Wagner, well-known pro-life advocate and inspiration for the burgeoning Red Rose Rescue movement in the United States, launched the Charter challenge during the course of her 2013 trial on charges of mischief.
She had been arrested on August 15, 2012, while attempting to peacefully intervene to save unborn children and their mothers from the violence of abortion at a Toronto abortion facility.
On November 11, 2020, her lawyer, Dr. Charles Lugosi, submitted a 155-page application with the Supreme Court setting out his arguments for seeking leave to appeal the lower court rulings quashing Wagner’s Charter challenge and rejecting her legal defence.
The significance of the case cannot be overstated, according to John Bulsza, the veteran London-based pro-life activist who has been raising funds during the eight-year-long journey to the Supreme Court.
“This case is our case. It will mean the end of abortion in Canada,” he told LifeSiteNews in an earlier interview.
“It has been the goal all along, if necessary, to reach the Supreme Court of Canada. Now, that goal has become a reality for Mary and the rest of us!” said Bulsza.
Lugosi argued on Wagner’s behalf in 2013 that Section 223 of Canada’s Criminal Code is unconstitutional.
That section states: “A child becomes a human being within the meaning of the Act when it has completely proceeded, in a living state, from the body of its mother.”
Lugosi contended that this violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Section 7 guarantee of an individual’s right to “life, liberty and security of person.”

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government has introduced a bill which threatens to seize control of online media content in Canada, putting liberty and freedom at risk. But, the Trudeau Liberals have no right to impose their party's ideology on the Canadian internet! Please SIGN this petition which tells the Trudeau Liberals, as well as the opposition, to leave the internet as a free speech zone! Bill C-10 is causing alarm bells to sound with conservative and Christians, who are concerned that it is the first step towards the destruction of independent online media in Canada. The Bill would require more "diversity and inclusion" content, reflecting the experience of "Canadians from racialized communities and Canadians of diverse ethnocultural backgrounds, socio-economic statuses, abilities and disabilities, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and ages." And, Bill C-10 would also give power to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to "assign penalties for non-compliance." With this frightening new power, Bill C-10 is a real threat to the freedom of speech of conservatives and Christians in Canada who engage with the entire world about their issues on the internet. Jay Cameron, a lawyer for the Canada-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms told LifeSite: "It is clear from recent statements by the PM and the Heritage Minister that the federal government wants to increase control and penalties for speech and content that is not approved of by the ideologues in the Liberal Party. Unsurprisingly, the purpose of Bill C-10 is not to increase freedom of ‘thought, belief, opinion, and expression’ (section 2(b) of the Charter) but to further restrict it.". Simply put: the chilling effect that this Bill could have on freedom of speech rights is incalculable. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which tells Trudeau Liberals to stop their attempt to impose their party's ideology on the Canadian internet. Tell them to scrap Bill C-10 and leave the internet as an independent forum where ideas, beliefs and other ventures can be discussed without government regulation or censorship. And, tell them that Canadian adults are mature enough to make up their own minds about sensitive topics without government interference. After you have signed the petition, please consider politely contacting the Minister for Canadian Heritage, the Shadow Minister for Industry and Economic Development, and the Prime Minister's office, to tell them about your dismay regarding Bill C-10.

It also violates the Charter’s Section 15 guarantee that: “Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law… .”
Additionally, Section 223 also obstructs Wagner’s legal defence for her peaceful intervention at abortion centers under Section 37 of the Criminal Code, which stated at the time of her arrest that: “Everyone is justified in using force to defend himself or any one under his protection from assault…,” Lugosi argued.
Wagner’s defence was that “any one” included the unborn child who was in need of protection from imminent deadly assault by the abortionist.
However, Justice Fergus O’Donnell of the Ontario Court of Justice rejected all Lugosi’s arguments, and on June 12, 2014, he convicted Wagner and sentenced her to time served.
Wagner, who has spent nearly six years altogether behind bars for her pro-life advocacy, was then released after almost 22 months in jail.
In December 2016 Lugosi, who earned a doctorate in juridical science from the University of Pennsylvania, argued his appeal of O’Donnell’s decision in a three-day hearing in front the Ontario Superior Court Justice Tamara Dunnet.
She dismissed the appeal on all counts three weeks later.
Lugosi then filed a request for leave to appeal with the Ontario Court of Appeal, and in September 2020, the court denied his request.
But what appeared to be a final blow to the case in fact opened the door to the Supreme Court of Canada, because the top court has discretion to hear appeals on any lower court decision on issues of “national importance.”
Abortion is undeniably a national issue, Lugosi told LifeSiteNews.
In his application seeking leave to appeal, Lugosi pointed out that the Supreme Court has never been presented with or decided on the “precise narrow Charterquestion” of whether the “everyone” guaranteed a right to life under the Charter’s Section 7 includes the unborn child, which, he argues, it does.
Regarding Section 15(1) of the Charter, which bestows equality rights to “every individual,” Lugosi argued that “every individual means a natural ‘human being’” and that experts at Wagner’s trial testified that “a new and unique human being comes into existence at the moment of its conception,” and Crown prosecutors did not contest this evidence.
“A law passed by Parliament that excludes one class of human beings from the definition of human being is a positive law inferior to constitutional law,” he noted.
“Courts have a duty to rise above political debate and tackle challenging questions, including whether Parliament’s definition of ‘human being’ infringes the constitutional right to life of unborn human beings,” he wrote.
If the Court ultimately strikes down Section 223(1) of the Criminal Code as unconstitutional “because it exceeds the power of Parliament to decide who is and who is not a human being,” abortion will then revert to “homicide under definition in the Criminal Code of Canada,” Lugosi told LifeSiteNews in an earlier interview.”
Wagner also emphasized the significance of the case.
“The courts have heard few voices pleading for our littlest brothers and sisters in the decades since abortion was decriminalized,” she told LifeSiteNews in an earlier email.
“For this reason alone, this case is important. We (not ‘I’, since this case is not my own personal fight but ours), have an obligation to defend those who cannot speak for themselves in whatever ways we can,” Wagner said.
“Even if the courts refuse to rule in favor of the truth, thanks to all who support this case spiritually or materially, the truth has been spoken — and will be spoken to the highest court of this land — on behalf of God’s littlest ones,” she added.
“Above all, please pray for the success of this case in defense of the unborn and for the healing of suffering post-abortive mothers and all women considering abortion.”
Bulsza reiterated that funds are urgently needed to bankroll the landmark Charter challenge.
With the goal of a Supreme Court appeal in sight, “we ask for sacrificial giving so that all the previous efforts and sacrifices will not have been in vain. Prayers are in order too!”
Gwen Landolt of REAL Women, who has argued a number of cases before the Supreme Court, told LifeSiteNews that Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner will assign one justice to decide if the full court will hear the appeal.
She said that there is no way of knowing when the court will release a ruling on whether it will grant leave to appeal, but her educated guess was that it likely won’t be until the new year.

lifesitenews--2020-11-25--DC US Attorney refuses to investigate attackers who accosted Rand Paul after RNC

November 25 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – The U.S Attorney ’ s Office for the District of Columbia ( D.C. ) will not investigate an incident of left-wing violence directed at Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul and his wife , which occurred in late August in Washington , D.C. Paul stated on Twitter on Monday that the violent incident , which was caught on video , will not be investigated by Michael R. Sherwin , who serves as U.S. Attorney for D.C. “ The DC U.S. Attorney today confirmed to me that they will not pursue an investigation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my wife and me and sent a DC police officer to the hospital , ” wrote Paul on Twitter .
Sherwin currently serves as the Acting United States Attorney for D.C. and before his current posting served as a prosecutor in Florida .
Paul and his wife were surrounded by a mob of leftist protestors on August 27 as they left the White House after President Donald Trump ’ s address at the last night of the Republican National Convention ( RNC ) .
The mob chased Paul and his wife back to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Paul thanked the police for “ literally saving our lives.
” “ Just got attacked by an angry mob of over 100 , one block away from the White House .
Thank you to @ DCPoliceDept for literally saving our lives from a crazed mob , ” wrote Paul on Twitter shortly after the incident .
In a Fox and Friends appearance the day after the incident , Paul described the ordeal that he and his wife had to go through to host Steve Doocy .
He said he thought they were going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe this with every fiber of my being , had they gotten at us they would have gotten us to the ground , we might not have been killed , might just have been injured by being kicked in the head , or kicked in the stomach until we were senseless , ” said Paul to Doocy .
Paul said that he regretted deciding to choose to walk the two blocks from the White House to his hotel .
He noted he was thankful for the police doing what they could to protect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a warning about what America would become if violence is allowed to fester unchecked .
“ If America becomes Portland , what ’ s going to happen is people are going to be pummeled and kicked in the head and left senseless on the curb , ” said Paul .
“ That would have happened to us , I promise you , had we not had the D.C. police to support us.
” Paul has been the victim of violent attacks before .
In 2018 , a former staff person who worked for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for placing online the addresses and phone numbers of both Paul and other Republican senators .
In the same year , a man was arrested after threatening to murder Paul and his family with an axe .
Last week , a frustrated Paul blasted the idea of a future COVID-19 lockdown as well as COVID-19 policies being announced by the Biden administration saying , “ Lockdowns don ’ t work .
And in fact , all of the evidence on mandatory masks show that they don ’ t work either.
” Paul himself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recovered .

PETITION UPDATE (1/15/2021) -
The events of the past month, and especially the past 10 days, have shaken the faith Americans have in their elected and appoint officials.
We continue to call for investigations to be made into allegations of election fraud. Texas is in the process of prosecuting one political operative for illegal ballot harvesting, and multiple state legislatures have called for investigations, too.
However, the judiciary has severely let down the American electorate.
As we have said all along, the integrity of the election is much bigger than President Trump. Election integrity is at the heart of republican democracy, and if we don't have it, we no longer have a functioning republic.
Therefore, we continue to seek the truth for the election outcome. Perhaps that will only be known in the future when state or federal commissions are established to investigate the instances of election fraud which were witnessed and sworn to, by thousands of Americans of all political persuasions.
In the meantime, you may still sign this petition. Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) -
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"
He is referring to the lawsuit which the state of Texas has filed against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia in the Supreme Court over changes those states made to their election rules, claiming they violated the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Here is the central part of the argument: if Texas were to allow possible voter fraud to go unchecked in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, it would be akin to committing fraud upon the people of Texas, who cast their ballots within the framework of the law.
Indeed, this would apply equally to all citizens who voted within the framework of the law across the United States!
President Trump also tweeted that this case is, "very strong...ALL CRITERIA MET."
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, now.
____________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/7/20) - Since this petition was launched, President Trump's legal team, as well as other concerned citizens, have discovered what appears to be irrefutable evidence of voter fraud in several of the key battleground states, and have initiated legal challenges in six states.
While the situation continues to evolve, this remains a hugely important petition which we encourage you to SIGN and SHARE.
Below, please WATCH and READ about the mounting evidence of voter fraud and how the mainstream media seem determined to ignore even the most egregious instances of vote tampering. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition.
'Trump: ‘Our election system is now under assault and siege’ and as president I must defend it'
'Tens of thousands 2020 election votes illegally scanned in Detroit, says Dominion IT contractor'
'Trump campaign files lawsuit demanding ‘a new statewide election for president’ in Georgia'
'Experts flag over 500k ballots in PA with new evidence of major 2020 election voter fraud'
''Smoking gun'? Pennsylvania vote fraud hearing gets gasps from audience'
'FBI and Justice Department have dragged their feet investigating 2020 vote fraud'
''CNN top brass in leaked tape: We won't give Trump 'too much of a platform on his not conceding'
'Twitter censored Trump 63 times over Thanksgiving holiday, Biden untouched'
LifeSite supports President Trump with this petition because we believe he is trying to defend the Constitution, ensuring that electoral fraud does not taint the result of the 2020 general election.
But, since starting this petition, we have launched a separate petition related to the disputed election outcome, calling on the Department of Justice to 'do their job' and engage in meaningful investigations of the mounting evidence of voter fraud.
We believe that conducting forensic audits of ballots and voting machines, as well as issuing subpoenas to collect more evidence, would be a good start.
Thankfully, some of the state started to demand investigations independent of federal agencies. But we still believe that the DoJ needs to use its enormous fact-finding resources to help resolve allegations of election fraud.
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE all our election-related petitions.
_____________________________________________________________________
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which calls on all Americans to Stand With President Trump as he uses every legitimate means to find out if voter fraud played any role in the election outcome.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, and at a time when the situation with COVID has been used by many of the states to facilitate the use of mail-in ballots on a massive scale, we need to be very careful in dismissing the possibility of voter fraud.
The fact is, the possibility of wide-spread fraud with mail-in ballots is significant.
But, this is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden! This about whether or not the sanctity of the ballot box has been tampered with!
Please Stand With President Trump as he attempts to defend the integrity of this election, as well as well as the right to vote itself!
Indeed, this is so important, not so much because one election hangs in the balance, but because our democracy, itself, hangs in the balance.
Americans not only have a right to know, but should demand that every legitimate means be used to discover the truth about these elections!
Please SIGN this petition and Stand With President Trump to ensure that these elections were conducted freely and fairly!
While most all Americans believe in playing by the rules, we also know that some very devious, politically-motivated operatives have been trying to harm the Trump administration from before he even took the oath of office.
This fact should lead us to question how some allegations of voter fraud can be so easily dismissed by state election authorities.
We demand to know the truth, and, for the sake of our democracy, we demand that President Trump keep fighting to learn the truth.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition today!

Their testimony and resistance can be very inspiring, for they endured much to be faithful. Mr. Dreher affirms that these same tactics might be applied in our Western society in decay.
The threat of soft totalitarianism
There are unmistakable signs that our postmodern world is heading in the direction of what the author calls “soft” totalitarianism. He notes that, like decadent czarist Russia, our society is marked by loneliness and social atomization, lost faith in hierarchies and institutions and unbridled sexuality. Our world is falling apart, Mr. Dreher claims. “The old world of classical liberalism is dying throughout the Western world, but its successor has not yet been born.”
In its place, soft totalitarianism finds its expression in the social justice warriors who seek change through identity politics. “Woke” capitalist corporations enforce and survey workers to root out thought crimes deemed racist, homophobic, transphobic, and any other kind of phobia in vogue. A union of Big Business and Big Brother will lead to a terrifying futuristic brave new world that leaves little room for Christian dissent.
A disappointing micro-Benedict Option
As might be expected, the author of The Benedict Option proposes a variation of his theme of forming small communities to wait out the terrible gathering storm of a hi-tech neo-barbarian age. He does not use the term Benedict Option to describe these mechanisms of survival. The Eastern European equivalents were less formal and smaller groups that we might call mini-Benedict Options.
Those disappointed by the Benedict Option will also be disappointed by this micro-version.
The author describes well the monolithic unity of a revolution that threatens all those who defend God’s law. However, he can suggest no opposing unity of a counter-revolution to combat this revolution. Just as his Benedict Option tends to isolate and shatter reactions into a thousand options, this micro-version shatters the resistance yet further, into tiny shards of defiance.
Thus, the book’s collection of guidelines might have some helpful counsels for these shattered shards, but it is not a tactical handbook for engaging in the Culture War. There is nothing new about relying upon the family, religion, solidarity and intermediary groups since they are the God-given institutions that are valid for surviving in all situations, not just the catacomb-like world found in communist Eastern Europe.
Perhaps the most perplexing problem with Mr. Dreher’s solution is his desire to embrace all under his solidarity banner. We are asked to “throw off the chains of solitude and find the freedom that awaits us in fellowship. The testimony of communist dissidents is clear: Only in solidarity with others can we find the spiritual and communal strength to resist.”
His small solidarity groups build bonds of brotherhood across denominational lines, including secular and liberal allies, “other religions and no religion at all.” These groups are all at once catechetical, ministerial and organizational, replacing institutional church leaders unable to fulfill their roles.
It appears the unifying factor of these groups is the obvious recognition of the communist lie, which can be defined as the absence of the truth. However, since this absent truth is left undefined, problems set in. Mr. Dreher leaves us with a liberal smorgasbord of beliefs and unbeliefs from which to craft a response to the lie.
Bringing forth a new Christian civilization
However, this response is not enough. Solidarity alone will not suffice. Indeed, the Eastern European models we are offered failed to resist the onslaught of Western postmodern culture that has corrupted their post-communist societies.
In the effort to construct small communities of solidarity, we must never lose sight of the bigger picture. There must be an effort to understand our present crisis and engage in the Culture War that threatens us. We must construct a counter-revolution counting on the grace of God to help us. We must never lose sight of our desire for victory over evil despite the obstacles we face.
— Article continues below Petition — State Governors: Don't cancel Thanksgiving while favoring Black Friday Show Petition Text 13488 have signed the petition. Let's get to 15000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition In spite of COVID and the ongoing election disputes, Americans will gather on Thursday to give thanks for all that they have received, and to show gratitude to God and neighbor. In many places across the nation, however, state governors are "cracking down" on Thanksgiving by implementing additional, seemingly arbitrary limits on citizens' right to free assembly. At the same time, these same governors are allowing Black Friday shopping to go on practically unabated, without additional restrictions than those already in place for their states' COVID response. This kind of discrimination is wrong! Please SIGN this petition, asking state governors not to cancel Thanksgiving while favoring Black Friday. Here are a few examples: In Oregon, Democratic Governor Kate Brown issued an emergency order limiting the number of people who may gather in private homes, to six, on Thanksgiving Day. But, shopping on Black Friday will go on almost unaffected, as retails establishments may remain open at a capacity of 75%.
In New York, Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo has issued a directive limiting the number of people who may gather in a private home to ten, while Black Friday sales continue.
And, in Maryland, Republican Governor Larry Hogan 'High Visibility Compliance Units' will be deployed around the state, including state troopers being sent to all counties to strengthen enforcement of COVID regulations. Meanwhile, retail establishments remain open at a capacity of 50%. While LifeSite believes in taking appropriate precautions for COVID especially for the elderly and those already suffering poor health, we also believe that individuals and families should be allowed to use their good sense and their own discretion rather than being coerced by the state in these matters. Moreover, states should not be in the business of discriminating against family gatherings, like Thanksgiving, in favor of commercial pursuits, like Black Friday. Please SIGN and SHARE this Thanksgiving Day petition, urging governors not to discriminate against family gatherings and impose greater, disproportionate COVID restrictions for Thanksgiving Day than they would for shopping on Black Friday.

November 24 , 2020 ( American Thinker ) — As the fight over electoral votes continues , the stakes are high for conservatives .
Countless writers have done a good job explaining this , from John Zmirak to Stella Morabito .
But the stakes are even higher for Democrats and liberals .
Let 's think about why .
All signs point to an increasing amount and authenticity of evidence for voter fraud .
While I have many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one thing about them that hints of praise .
Discounting corrupt leaders at the top , most liberals treasure their sense of righteousness as the most important motivating factor in what they do .
As horrible as are many things liberals do , one can not deny that liberals rally powerfully around their `` causes , '' their collective convictions that injustices exist and their progressive solutions are the right ones .
Many of us on the right would call the left 's moral certainty `` self-righteousness . ''
But let us proceed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , for argument 's sake , that we can call it simply righteousness , as in the compelling belief in the rightness of one 's beliefs .
So powerful is the left 's righteousness that leftists win many arguments simply by rhetorical force .
They are so unrelenting in their argumentation that conservatives , who are accustomed to having weak-willed and wobbling leaders , concede to them out of sheer awe before the liberals ' perseverance .
Many things have happened that should have exposed the flaws in liberals ' righteous self-perception , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Democratic donors like Harvey Weinstein and Ed Buck to the vast financial corruption behind the left 's fake environmentalism , the Clinton Foundation , and the Bidens ' graft in hotspots like Ukraine and China .
But those things , for various reasons , did n't `` stick . ''
As numerous as these skeletons were , they were n't numerous enough to break open the closet where the left 's alliance of media , academia , and politicians hid them .
Many conservatives , busy with their daily lives , did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never connected their moral implications to the liberals they argued with in their daily lives .
The election of 2020 is different .
Having been through a year of COVID and urban unrest , issues that would normally remain distantly political felt extremely personal to Americans .
Both issues developed a partisan taste , because the left weaponized COVID against the right and the right weaponized urban unrest against the left .
Both issues produced an obvious disconnect between what people experienced in their daily lives and what liberal-dominated commentators were saying in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ urgency with them to the polls , many people went to great lengths to cast their ballots .
Their voting felt intimate and important .
And then the election became a disaster that dragged on for weeks .
Prior to the election , the left told us there would be no problem with mail ballots .
Then when the mail ballots caused nightmares in terms of tabulation , verification , security , and timeliness , the left told us there would be no proof of fraud .
Then , as more testimonials of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our suspicions , the left told us there was fraud but it was not widespread .
This , too , broke down as we saw more solid evidence of voting `` irregularities '' in Wisconsin , Michigan , Pennsylvania , North Carolina , Georgia , Arizona , and Nevada , enough states to make us consider `` widespread '' a perfectly appropriate adjective .
Finally , the left said these widespread frauds would not reach an amount large enough to reverse the election .
And then Sidney Powell released the Kraken , revealing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tabulated by a digital balloting company that nobody sane could trust .
People can disagree about abortion , military policy , homosexuality , education , health care , or any major issue .
But nobody likes liars .
Nobody trusts liars .
The worst thing that can happen to a group of people is to develop a reputation for lying , especially in the realm of democratic politics , where your entire right to hold office depends upon the public 's faith in your word .
Perhaps worse than lying is cheating .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ catch your girlfriend telling you a fib here and there , but when you catch her in bed with your best friend , that 's almost always a deal-breaker .
There 's a special contempt reserved for sports teams that get trophies based on bad calls by referees , especially if you find out the referees were bribed .
People detest boxing matches that turn out to have been fixed .
In twenty years as a professor , I recall vividly how deeply people 's reputations sank if they got caught cheating .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ classmates much more than the professors would care .
Sometimes it seems as though liberals would like racism and sexism to be classified as more severe than lying and cheating .
For whatever reason , they 've never succeeded at changing people 's moral compass in that way .
Even most liberals view dishonesty as a worse character trait than prejudice , which explains partly why so many of their attacks on supposed racists involve accusing them of a hidden prejudice that the accused would deny .
The left lied and cheated — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enough so that Joe Biden , no matter what happens in the future , will be associated permanently in the minds of Trump-supporters with lies and cheating .
Unlike earlier scandals , the dishonesty surrounding Biden 's 2020 election margins has taken hold of an enormous number of Americans .
A recent poll found that 47 % of people responding to pollsters believed it likely that Biden 's victory came from cheating .
That statistic is simply catastrophic .
Even worse is the probability that the `` shy Trump voter '' who skewed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ probably also afraid to tell a pollster what he really thinks about voter fraud .
I do n't believe that the percentage of Americans who think the liberals cheated will go down .
It will only increase .
While only God knows the full truth , all the evidence I 've seen from Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis points to the high chance that more evidence ( and increasingly substantial evidence ) will come out revealing massive , nationwide fraud perpetrated to steal a presidential election .
Let 's go back to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you have a girlfriend who nags and belittles you constantly , telling you every hour that you 're doing something wrong , and then you catch her in bed with your best friend , the damage to your girlfriend 's position will be multiplied because not only will she lose her confidence in dealing with you — also , you will have undergone a mental change and simply wo n't put up with her criticism for a long time .
Think of Trump-supporters and Biden-supporters as a boyfriend and girlfriend in just such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to surprise our girlfriend , and there she is in flagrante delicto , right in the bedroom , curtains blowing in the breeze , with the sleaziest gang of Democratic fraudsters and Republican collaborators .
Over time , liberals will have to concede that they 're caught .
Their loss of righteousness will cost them more dearly than anything that they 've ever lost in the past , because their righteousness was the fuel that animated them for so many decades .
Eventually , it will sink in that they were on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only through silent complicity , but also through their vicious mockery of Trump-supporters during the naïve weeks when they maintained the façade that no fraud took place .
And they will have to deal with us , their boyfriend .
It shocked liberals that after four years of demonizing Trump , they found that he won ten million more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016 .
Liberals must confront the reality that we have n't believed them in a long time and that much of their passionate rhetoric has been falling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But it will get worse .
Millions of Trump-supporters who were content with shyness and silence before will now feel emboldened to stand up to liberals .
They have nothing to lose , since this election fiasco has made it clear that liberals will lie and cheat , so we ca n't trust any of their conciliatory measures or promises of collaboration , healing , or unity .
With the stain of dishonesty , liberals will lose everything .
Stripped of righteousness , none of the data they cite to promote their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or anything else will hold weight .
They have to decide whether it is worth it to continue pretending Biden 's `` win '' came with no reasonable suspicions .
I do n't think it is .
I think if they trudge ahead , sticking to the same story , they face a catastrophe that will be far worse than swallowing their pride , admitting they got the fraud issue wrong , and letting a real investigation play out .

PETITION UPDATE (12/11/2020)
Right before Thanksgiving, YouTube deleted a LifeSite video of a distinguished Canadian physician protesting the "unfounded public hysteria" over COVID-19 and accused us of spreading "medical misinformation."
Our account was suspended, and we were prohibited from posting videos on our YouTube channel for one week. And, while that may not seem like a big deal, it's a huge deal for a news organization like LifeSite.
Then, earlier this week, YouTube again suspended our account – this time for two weeks – over an episode of The Bishop Strickland Show wherein Bishop Strickland said he would not take an unethical COVID-19 vaccine.
We were able to appeal the suspension, and our request was granted.
This means that in YouTube's three-strikes-and-you're-out content-policing, idea-cleansing scheme, we are back down to one strike. But, we still face the threat of losing our account permanently.
And, we're not the only ones.
In a recent turn of events, YouTube just announced that it will remove videos alleging widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
But, what is YouTube afraid of? The truth???
Thankfully, however, there is a one, big bright spot on the horizon: 48 states filed suit against Facebook just this week.
And, although this seems like a step in the right direction, the draconian measures which YouTube just rolled out, which are already wielded by Twitter, are an assault against free speech.
So, the fight for freedom of speech against Big Tech goes on. And, we must do everything we can to protect it!
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition today!

PETITION UPDATE (11/18/2020)
Everyone thought the censorship by Big Tech corporations would decrease after the 2020 election, but the truth is that censorship is being felt just as much as it was before the election.
And, given the election outcome, perhaps Big Tech censorship now is even more consequential than it was before the election!
The two biggest social media platforms, Facebook and Twitter, and other Big Tech companies, are still censoring and suppressing stories and posts favorable to conservatives, and especially anything that has to do with election fraud.
Here are a few recent examples:
Women for America First organized the March for Trump on November 14, which was shut down by Facebook, MailChimp and Eventbrite. Despite Big Tech’s best efforts to cancel the event, the march went on and gathered a huge crowd.
Twitter has been suppressing a large number of President Trump’s Tweets. Most of his Tweets have been flagged arbitrarily with a warning stating: “This claim about election fraud is disputed."
Please READ this recent article about Big Tech's attempt to choke information conerning the recent Million MAGA March in Washington, DC: '5 things mainstream media won’t tell you about massive DC ‘Stop the Steal’ rally'
Then, please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, which calls on the Congress, the president, and governors to defend freedom of speech as Big Tech continues their rampant censorship.
PETITION UPDATE (10/15/2020)
In a remarkable development, Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham have announced that the Senate Judiciary Committee will be issuing subpoenas to Twitter's Jack Dorsey and Facebook's Mark Zuckerburg for their company's suppression of two critical expose news stories about how Hunter Biden and the Biden Family allegedly profited from business deals made because of Joe Biden's position as Vice President.
Please WATCH LifeSite's exclusive video of the announcement by Senator Ted Cruz below.
According to the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Lindsey Graham, the subpoenas will be issued next Tuesday, for hearings to be held on Friday of next week.
This is a MASSIVE development, and should be welcomed by those who champion freedom of speech.
Again, this is all happening because Twitter and Facebook refuse to allow their members to share stories which would be favorable to conservatives.
Here's the timeline:
Yesterday, Twitter and Facebook suppressed a NY Post story about how Hunter Biden allegedly profited from introducing a Ukrainian businessman to his then-Vice President father, Joe Biden. The story also alleges that Vice President Biden then subsequently pressured Ukrainian authorities to fire a prosecutor who was investigating the businessman's company.
And, just this morning, Twitter suppressed another expose by the NY Post alleging that the Biden Family improperly profitted from deals made with one of the largest Chinese energy companies because of Vice President Biden's position in government.
But, right after the story broke, Senator Cruz tried to share the latest story on Twitter and was blocked. Twitter says that they are blocking the stories because they claim that the information was obtained illegally. However, Twitter showed no problem allowing illegally obtained information about President Trump's tax returns to be shared.
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, which calls on the Congress, the president, and governors to defend freedom of speech as Big Tech continues their rampant censorship.

PETITION UPDATE (9/17/2020)
Big Tech is out to kill free speech. LifeSite is out to protect it!
LifeSite has been digging deep into the many claims of liberal bias and selective censorship of pro-life, pro-family, and conservative voices on social media.
And, we are now launching our new series 'Uncensored: Big Tech vs. Free Speech', which will unpack how the actions of Big Tech censors actually affect conservative and Christian organization and individuals.
Please WATCH the first video in our series featuring Brigitte Gabriel, the Founder of ACT For America, one of the nation's premier national security grassroots organizations.
Ms. Gabriel's organization, ACT For America, has been targeted by Big Tech especially in the manipulation of search results.
Big Tech “think[s] they are God and they are exercising their godly power over everybody else,” Gabriel explained. "Because in today's world, anytime you want to find out any information about somebody, what do you do? Google. You go to the internet to find out some information about them. When you research anything about somebody, the first thing that comes up [in the search results] is the Southern Poverty Law Center’s labeling of ‘hate groups.’”
“And who are the ‘hate groups’? Family Research Council is a hate group because they are pro-family. American Family Radio is a hate group…LifeSiteNews is a hate group. My organization is a hate group because we sound the alarm about terrorism and protecting our constitutional freedom. And so they try to character assassinate you. And they control the language.”
LifeSite's research shows that Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitter, and others have become far too dangerous for democracy.
They can and do sway elections and public opinion in whatever direction they want, primarily by manipulating search results, tracking our online behavior, and by blocking truthful content from their platforms.
Today, LifeSite is starting to fight back, with facts and with stories of conservatives and Christians who are being negatively impacted by Big Tech's liberal bias.
Please continue to follow our 'Big Tech vs. Free Speech' series which aims to launch a new video each week for the next eight weeks.
And, please sign our petition demanding that Big Tech monopolies are broken up. Thank you!

ORIGINAL PETITION BACKGROUND TEXT:
The outrageous erasing of the White Coat Summit from the internet is only the latest in a long series of brazen acts of censorship against conservatives and all those who support legitimate free speech.
You may agree or disagree with the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine against the coronavirus, but everyone should agree on this point:
No Big Tech company should have the power to erase from the internet the medical opinions of licensed practicing doctors simply because they do not like what they have to say about the coronavirus or their experience treating it. Americans and other free peoples do not need leftist computer programmers deciding what the best course of medical treatment is for them.
Google/Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Apple and their Big Tech friends want to control what you see, what you read, what you think, and ultimately, how you vote. Not only do they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbying congress and buttering up big Washington DC think tanks, but now they brazenly and directly censor any content they don't want you to see.
Big Tech, like other interest groups, aggressively lobby to help their businesses thrive, but increasingly, Big Tech is using blatant internet censorship to impose its radical world view over those they consider to be "deplorables."
This must stop, but it won't unless we demand it as forcefully as legally possible. We believe that we have reached the point were Big Tech must be broken up if legitimate free speech is going to survive and continue to thrive on the internet.
Please sign our petition to demand real consequences for Big Tech's suppression of legitimate free speech.
In 2016, emails revealed by Fox News' Tucker Carlson proved that Google tried to influence the election by affecting voter turnout. Thankfully they failed. But they didn't give up. Instead, they have been preparing and testing how to manipulate information to continue to abuse their monopolistic power.
In 2018, Google/Youtube et. al. succeeded in manipulating the Irish abortion referendum by blacklisting pro-life videos, manipulating pro-life search terms and results and intentionally withholding pro-life information. Again, this is not an opinion or a conspiracy theory, Project Veritas obtained first hand information proving the intentional censorship by Big Tech.
And the Coronavirus has just made things worse. You see, scared people are more easily manipulated into giving up their freedom of speech. Children are being kept from going to school, tens of millions of Americans are out of work, and rioting has broken out in most major American cities.
Now, more than ever, freedom of speech is necessary to secure all of our freedoms. Freedom of speech is crucial to truly exercise the freedom to vote for the person that best represents one's own views, or the freedom to decide what course of medical treatment to accept - especially the decision to control what vaccines are administered to our children.
Some experts, like Dr. Robert Epstein, a behavioral psychologist who has testified before congress against Big Tech believes that we may already be too late to control Big Tech's tyrannical control over information.
President Trump took a step in the right direction with his Executive Order calling for increased regulation of Big Tech. But much more can be done and needs to be done right now.
In an era where almost everything is polarized, there is an overwhelming support for breaking up the Big Tech monopolies. A recent Pew poll found that 75% of Americans believe that Big Tech companies have too much influence.
It is time to bring serious accountability to Big Tech for their attempts to use their monopolies to kill free speech.
It is time to break up Big Tech.
