Dear
Friend:
I'm
writing to call your attention to a very important race
for the U.S. Senate and to ask for your help.
As you
know, Marco Rubio, the former state Speaker of the
House, is running against Governor Charlie Crist for the
open U.S. Senate seat in Florida. Marco Rubio is a
principled conservative but his opponent is an Arlen
Specter Republican.
As
chairman of the Senate Conservatives Fund, I'm
organizing a "money bomb" to raise support for Marco
Rubio's campaign. This fundraising sprint will conclude
this Wednesday, February 10 so please join me by making
a contribution today at RubioMoneyBomb.com.
The
outcome of this race in Florida is critical. It's a
choice between a candidate who will consistently stand
up and fight for limited government and more freedom,
and one who has been too quick to compromise for
political gain.
On
February 10, 2009, Governor Crist cleared his schedule
to stand on a stage with President Obama in Ft. Meyers,
Florida. Governor Crist used the opportunity to embrace
the President and campaign for the $787 billion stimulus
bill.
One year
later, we have a mountain of new debt and millions of
lost jobs. This is not the kind of record voters should
reward with a seat in the United States Senate.
This is
why we have chosen February 10 as the date for the money bomb for Marco Rubio. We have
set a goal of raising $100,000, which will begin to
provide him with the resources he needs to fight the
false and misleading attacks Governor Crist is making
against him.
Thousands
of Americans recently supported a money bomb for Senator
Scott Brown in Massachusetts, which raised $1.3 million
for his campaign in just 24 hours. If we can raise just
a fraction of that amount for Marco Rubio's campaign, it
will give him the funds he needs to win.
If the
Massachusetts Senate race taught us anything, it's that
voters want leaders who will stand up for common-sense,
conservative principles. Marco Rubio is that kind of
leader. He will fight to stop the massive spending,
bailouts, and takeovers that are being forced on us by
politicians in Washington.
Marco
Rubio believes in constitutional limits, a balanced
budget, and individual liberty. These are not radical
ideas. They are the principles of freedom that have made
America great, and we desperately need new leaders in
the Senate like Marco Rubio who will fight to defend
them.
Please
join me and the thousands of freedom-loving Americans
across the country who are supporting Marco Rubio.
Make a
secure, online contribution at RubioMoneyBomb.com to support Marco
Rubio's Senate campaign right now. You can contribute
any amount you like -- $25, $100, $500, or even $4,800.
Then forward this email to your
friends so they can add their contributions to the
effort.
A number
of Republican leaders in Washington endorsed Governor
Crist last year and justified it by saying he was the
most electable candidate. They were wrong. Polls now
show that voters in Florida prefer Marco Rubio because
of his principled leadership.
But
Governor Crist has a sizable campaign war chest and he
is using it against Rubio. We must fight back and this
money bomb is a perfect way to do
it.
Marco
Rubio is fighting liberals, progressives, and
establishment Republicans because he is a genuine
conservative who wants to save freedom and restore the
trust of the American people.
Marco
Rubio has embraced the ideas and energy of the tea
parties, town halls, and grassroots rallies, and that's
why he is now leading in the polls. We need to push him
over the top and send the Republican establishment a
message.
Please make a contribution today to
Marco Rubio's Senate campaign. Your support will help
put a rock-solid conservative in the Senate so there are
no more stimulus hugs.
Thank
you for your consideration. With your help, I'm
confident we will strengthen the Senate and take back
our country.
Sincerely,
Jim DeMint
United States Senator
