Hello,
My name is Steve Bierfeldt. I am currently the Vice President of Development for the Campaign for Liberty.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut in 2006. I served as Field Program Director in a non-profit in Arlington, Virginia until 2008 and in the spring of that year managed the Congressional campaign of Amit Singh, a Republican candidate in Virginia’s 8th District.
I served as Sponsorship Director for the Campaign for Liberty's "Rally for the Republic" in Minneapolis in September, 2008. Recently, I co-authored the book Who is the Real Barack Obama? I am currently blessed to act as the Director of Development for the Campaign for Liberty.
I was raised catholic my entire life, but never found a relationship with God. I did not enjoy going to church, and felt like I was simply going through the motions. When the priest sex abuse scandals came out, I saw that there were bishops and cardinals who covered up what happened, and I began to "boycott" the church.
Mr freshman year of college, I began to wonder about a number of things. I avoided many of the vices that a lot of college kids fall into, but I still did not feel like my life was fulfilling.
I began dating a girl who was an absolute sweetheart. Unfortunately my mind was really elsewhere because I wasn't set in order. I was not able to treat her as well as she deserved. I transferred schools because I thought perhaps that's what was bothering me, and we faded apart. I've thought of her and that situation nearly every day since then.
In May of 2003, the end of my freshman year of college, a friend of mine showed me a video outlining the debate between creation and evolution. Having never believed in evolution, I was very interested by it. At the end of the tape, the man teaching the seminar leads the audience in something called "The Sinner's Prayer."
The basis is "Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I know I have broken your laws. I ask you to forgive me and please save me right now. I realize that I need you in my life."
I kind of said that in my head while watching the tape, and later on before I went to bed, I said it privately. I was not completely sure what would happen, whether or not I was once again "going through the motions," but I know now that if you are sincerely looking for God in your life, then the exact words you use are irrelevant."
From then on I was a different person. I desired to read the Bible and learn about God. I wanted to do good things not because someone told me, but because I knew Jesus had died due to my failures.
So many people hear that "Jesus died for your sins," but never know what that means. I know I didn't. It means that your sin caused Christ to be killed, so that he could pay the price for your sin. If you have even one sin on your soul when you die, you are not permitted into Heaven.
If God let everyone with sin in, Heaven would soon turn into earth. As you have sinned, you are guilty of breaking God's laws and will be judged by Him. Therefore you need to find a substitute to take the penalty. If you get a speeding ticket and the law says you must pay 100 dollars, it does not matter if you pay it, or your parents or your friend pays it for you. As long as someone pays it, then the law is satisfied.
The same thing exists for God's laws. Since you have sinned, the price of sin is death. You are not permitted into Heaven. Jesus Christ lived a perfect life however, and is willing to take your place. That is what it means when you hear someone say, "Jesus died for you."
The best way to contact me is through email or mobile phone. Contact me when needed, do not worry about the time or time difference. You can also contact me via facebook as well.
"To whom much is given, of him much shall be required." - Luke 12:48

Campaign for Liberty knows how important it is to listen to and respond to the ideas of our grassroots activists throughout the country. As Campaign for Liberty has grown, we have received a number of inquiries and suggestions about new projects and programs that you, our dedicated supporters would like to see.
Within the next few months, Campaign for Liberty would like to launch a number of new programs, the first being a brand new quarterly print newsletter. This newsletter will be filled with updated information, helpful activism tips, in depth interviews, profiles in courage, and much more. A private message from Campaign for Liberty Chairman Ron Paul is featured in each issue. Our newsletter is printed in full color and is delivered right to your home. Impress your liberty loving friends by knowing the, "Who, what and where," before anyone else.
Today we are proud to announce the start of Campaign for Liberty's "Patriot Club," a monthly giving program of $10 or more that will allow us to fund our projects and provide greater access to our grassroots activists. Individuals who sign up to contribute at least $10 or more per month are enrolled in our Patriot Club, and will receive.
• In Liberty our official, full color, quarterly newsletter
• Supporter recognition gifts, sent to you throughout the year
• Exclusive access to "The Movement," our Grassroots Conference calls featuring special project briefings, updates from coordinators and stories from the field from grassroots activists throughout the country
• Exclusive acess to "Leaders in Liberty," our interactive tele-town Halls featuring guest speakers, authors, tv/radio hosts and other leaders in the liberty movement.
The plan to fund these projects is ambitious. Initially it requires 500 supporters to join the Patriot Club by October 1st. If we can reach this mark, we will be able to start implementing all of the above. It will then require an additional 500 supporters, or 1,000 total, to join the Patriot Club by November 1st in order to have all of the projects fully functioning, and provide some additional exciting benefits to our members.
As true believers in fiscal responsibility, Campaign for Liberty will not spend money it does not have. Just as we refuse to believe the United States government can continue to tax and spend without consequence, we also refuse to carry debt, no matter how tempting the project may be. That is why these projects, including the first printing of our official newsletter, will only take place when we reach 1,000 members in our Patriot Club.
I hope you are excited about these new projects and the additional grassroots activism they will be able to create. Our race to 1,000 supporters in our Patriot Club begins right now!
In an effort to keep cost under control, I would rather you have the newsletter on line only. Patriot Members can always print it out.
While we are on funding, (i.e. $10 monthly feed), I would like to suggest that you do NOT the mass mail outs, "if" you have our email addresses. Seems I get one of these every few weeks. They have to be a huge expense.
When I receive these they are almost always a duplicate of an email that was already sent to me. So, let's be more cost effective and use snail mail only on when truly necessary. It is a waste of paper, ink, postage, time etc.

Hello Everyone. Here are some avatars I've collected. Just click and save one of the files. Then you'll be able to use them as your Campaign for Liberty avatar. Go to the "My Dashboard" tab, and then "settings. Just upload the file as your avatar and you're set.
For those of you who want a change from the generic crowd graphic on your Campaign for Liberty account.
Great idea. Thank you. For now, I am sticking with my South Park avatar, even though it's almost impossible to read what it says (Why are we always getting screwed?), but I've saved two of yours (the gold coins and the Declaration), and might well switch to one of them at some point.
Hey Steve, it's Igor Prohorov, I've met you at the Centreville, VA meeting a couple of days ago. Please check out my youtube site at youtube.com/dollarisdead09. God Bless
