My Friend,
In the time since the 2008 presidential campaign ended I have had a chance to reflect on many things. And as I said on election night, I truly cannot adequately express how indebted I am to you, my entire campaign team and my running mate, Governor Sarah Palin.
The road was a difficult one from the outset. Yet, your faith, your support and friendship never wavered. Just as I have proudly served my country for more than half a century I am as committed as ever to helping see our mission through.
So to continue the movement, I have decided to launch a new grassroots organization called Country First.
Today, I'm asking you as a friend and supporter to renew your commitment to our common goals by becoming a Charter Member of Country First with an online contribution.
Country First will allow us to strengthen our Party, better define our Republican ideals and message, recruit and back strong, dedicated candidates and continue our efforts to bring real reform to government by always putting our country and the noble ideals she stands for first.
Together, we can make government more responsive to today's problems and more answerable to the people. That's why I hope you will become a Charter Member of Country First and support our cause by following this link to make a generous contribution of any amount today.
With your help we can work to elect these new leaders to Governorships, Statehouses, the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives in 2010 and beyond. Once in office they will become fierce advocates for limited government, economic opportunity, personal responsibility and strong national security.
On Election Night last year, I called on all Americans not to despair of our present difficulties but to believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here.
Today, I am asking you to join Country First to continue fighting for the worthy cause of revitalizing both our democracy and our Party.
Our goals will never be realized if your voice falls silent. You are the best hope for our country's success. Please stay in this fight with me; our country needs your service now as much as ever.
I know that together we can make a difference - we already have. Again, I thank you for your unwavering friendship and support.
Sincerely,
John McCain
P.S. Country First will serve as a powerful voice for the American people. It will allow us to get our Republican message out to the voters and elect a new generation of Republican leaders who can go to Statehouses and Congress to fight for all we believe in. Please join as a Charter Member of Country First by following this link to make a contribution today. Thank you.

Your Former Friend
I just unsubscribed from the email list. I suggest you all do the same.
John, please go away!
Look John... thank you for your sacrifice in the POW camp, no one can ever say that you weren't brave. But PLEASE!!!! Leave politics alone.
Do NOT do this. Malicious misuse of prepaid postage will be prosecuted. I've worked in direct marketing for twenty plus years, and do know what I'm talking about.
This takes the cake!
Fixed.
Right back at you—did the same thing! I would love to know the number of recipients of that email who have unsubscribed!
A pathetic attempt to regain the slightest glint of credibility. I’m afraid his “grassroots” have been irretrievably plowed under by his pandering to the opposition. From now on “maverick” for me will always be synonimous with “useful idiot”.
There are no words...
“If you get any mail from him with the postage prepaid, fill it up with other junk mail and send it back. McLame will have to pay for the insult.”
Wrap it around a brick.
My friend,
Money won’t solve anything. The tools are already in place.
Tools are more useful than money. Because money can disappear almost overnight, as witnessed by the recent economic downturn.
So I send no money, my old friend. I send a voucher for ammo.
Epic fail.
old and crusty has never won in the US. the dems knew this when they jumped party lines to get mccain nominated... clearing the way for hillary (0bama started to grab the reins in dec 2007/jan 2008 when he pushed for protection... long before anyone else in history)
he didn’t fight the dems tooth and nail this fall, so please.... sit down and let others pick up the fight.

I stopped at “My Friend”...did he happen to use the word “marverick”? (snicker)
John Who?
I notice he is using Sarah as cover for this, by mentioning her in the first paragraph.
I heard recently form a good insider source of impeccable reputation...for naming horserace winners...the film The Caine Mutiny was going to be renamed The McCain Mutiny.
