Feingold's back

Friend –
Democrat Russ Feingold was in the United States Senate for eighteen years before I defeated him in 2010.
A “creature of Washington,” he compiled a voting record that had him joining the ranks of Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, and Hillary Clinton as the #1 liberal in the nation.
Feingold has now quit his job in the Obama State Department, which is widely viewed as the first step toward an all but certain campaign against me.
With majority control of the United States Senate at stake, and with every ultra-liberal Super PAC placing a target on my back, I need to build an army of conservative champions across the country … especially you, Friend. Your financial leadership of $10, $35, $50, $100, $250, or another amount is of the utmost importance!
With majority control of the entire United States Senate at stake, I’m the Democrats’ #1 target.
What difference does your early support make? Having defeated Feingold by less than 5 points in 2010, and all eyes on this race, your support will make all the difference in the world.
And speaking about all the difference in the world, our backgrounds couldn’t be more different:

  • Russ Feingold is an attorney and a career politician in a Senate that’s full of both. I spent 3 decades helping build a successful manufacturing business and creating good jobs for Wisconsinites.
  • He has done nothing but run for office. I ran for the first time in 2010.
  • He is an advocate for ObamaCare. I want to repeal it.
  • He wants to grow government. I want to shrink it.
  • I’m for a Balanced Budget Amendment. He says it’s a terrible idea.

Voters have a sharp clear choice, and our campaign’s job is to give voters the truth … the facts … a side-by-side comparison of our background and views. And I need your help to get that message out.
But it won’t be easy. The Democrat Machine is ginned up and eager to give Feingold all their help in our rematch. He will have the Obamas, Clintons, Big Labor, Hollywood, and Liberal Super PACs bankrolling his attack ads with millions of special interest dollars. I need you to win and I need you now, Friend.
Raising “early money” is the key to our victory, and that is why we have set a goal of raising $30,000 in the next 7 days. Please make your online contribution of $10 or $100 or even $1,000 today. With your good help, I will have the resources to fight back against whatever the Democrats throw our way, win, and ensure that Republicans keep our Senate majority.
And I make you this promise: Not only will I keep voting with our conservative principles in mind, I will continue to lead the charge for sweeping conservative change. We’ve got a country to save. Are you with me?

U.S. Senator, Wisconsin
