Fellow Conservatives:
We have very exciting news to share with you.
Not only did the grassroots in Virginia score a major victory for freedom last night by defeating House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the Republican primary, but one of Virginia's strongest grassroots conservatives is joining our team.
Starting today, Ken Cuccinelli, the former Attorney General of Virginia, will serve as the president of the Senate Conservatives Fund!
If you don’t know Ken, he’s a principled fighter who is respected by the grassroots and is passionate about electing the next generation of conservative leaders. Throughout his time in public service, whether in Virginia’s State Senate or as Attorney General, Ken led the fight to defend constitutional rights, protect life, stop tax increases, and keep Virginia a low-regulation state.
As Attorney General, Ken fought the federal government to reduce burdensome regulations from the EPA, FCC, National Labor Relations Board, and -- most famously -- was the first to sue to stop Obamacare.
Ken Cuccinelli is the perfect person to continue and expand on what former Senator Jim DeMint started with SCF.
We’re confident that Ken will help the grassroots do even more to help elect principled conservatives to the U.S. Senate.
And Ken could not be joining our team at a better time. Not only did Dave Brat win in Virginia last night, but thanks to your support, Ben Sasse won in Nebraska and Joni Ernst won in Iowa.
And now we're on the verge of nominating Chris McDaniel in Mississippi and T.W. Shannon in Oklahoma on June 24th.
Conservatives are on the move and it's more important than ever for the grassroots to work together to support principled candidates.
Please watch Ken Cuccinelli's video message to all SCF members and then send him a quick note welcoming him to the team.
Ken explains why he's excited to join SCF and why it's important for Americans to stand up to the Washington establishment.
Thank you for your dedication to our nation's founding principles and thank you for supporting SCF. You're changing Washington one election at a time.
Best regards,
Matt Hoskins
Executive Director
Senate Conservatives Fund
Movements must have a beginning. Every election the excuse is ‘next time’.
Win or lose, TODAY is the day to stand behind a conservative. The primary is over. Stand behind the conservative, whoever it may be. Do not help the GOP screw us. If we lose this time, the conservative we back will be better prepared next time. And people will already be in the mindset to back that person.
We WILL lose some. Accept that we cannot, like Democrats, have all things given to mus. Good things take work. You will lose. I will lose. Then we win.
The mindset of ‘win support the Rino’ had doomed us for decades. Break that destructive pattern.
Tell me with a straight face the founders would have accepted brit loyalists in their govt. There is your guide.
Believe me, I very much understand where you’re coming from, Norm. In fact, if you’ve had a chance to take a cursory glance at my posting history on FR, you’ll see I’ve routinely been scathing critical of RINOs/GOP establishment candidates and those on our side who succumb to the false pretense that such candidates are the “most electable”. However, I believe primary races are the time and place to deal with this, not during the general election when we’re facing radical left-wing Democrat opponents.
Like I said, I’m most concerned right now with winning back the Senate. And if McConnell happens to win and return as the Senate Majority Leader, the Senate will be decidedly more conservative in 2015 and I believe we can push Squishy Mitch kicking and screaming into taking up and passing conservative legislation.
Having said that, I won’t be shedding any tears if the GOP manages to win back the Senate and Mitch loses his re-election bid (which I think is certainly a feasible scenario). I will say though that I hate the thought of Grimes and her deep pockets potentially making her a permanent Kentucky senate fixture as a result.
Its only one seat. Its not like the GOP does anything positive when they have control. And it is worth losing it to ditch Mitch. We can make it up elsewhere if we try.
Very well said, I concur FWIW.
Reinforcements are on the way, THAT is the beginning we sought.
You are text book.
Accuse others of what you do.
You are the one who favors dems.
You try to make people cynical and nihilistic so that they will not participate so that dems have the upper hand.
Never should any dem in any state get a foot hold.
Thanks for your straight forward answer.
