  • Hillary Rodham Clinton
    Hillary Rodham Clinton: A History of Scandal, Corruption and Cronyism Dear Concerned American, Liberty Guard is publishing this booklet on Hillary Rodham Clinton’s history of scandal, corruption and cronyism because you won’t hear much about it from the mainstream news media. This booklet provides a summary of Hillary Clinton’s most serious scandals (that we know about so far), including many probable crimes. Our goal is to have tens of millions of Americans reading this little book before the 2016 Election so that Americans can make an informed decision with their vote. But we need your immediate help to do this. It costs us about $1 to send a copy of this little book through the mail to one American citizen. So if you are able to send LIBERTY GUARD a donation of $25, for example, this will allow us to distribute a copy of this little book via postal mail to 25 citizens. If you are able to send a $15 donation, we can put this booklet in the mailboxes of 15 Americans. Will you help make this HILLARY CLINTON BOOK DISTRIBUTION CAMPAIGN the success I know it will be if every patriot who reads this letter contributes what they can? Most members and supporters of LIBERTY GUARD are sending donations in the $15 to $25 range — though some of our friends are blessed to be able to send larger donations of $50, $100, $500, $1,000 or even more, while our other friends are making an equal sacrifice by sending donations of $12, $10 or even $8.
