The campaign is in high gear. A tough opponent is running against me; we cannot take him lightly. This is going to be a close election.
I appreciate all you have done for my campaign already. I have been able to get my message to the American people because of your generous support.

Everywhere I go, I remind people of our country's ability to transfer challenge into opportunity in the past three and a half years. It is the President's job to confront problems, to speak clearly and lead with strength. And that is how I will continue to lead this country.
We came to office with the stock market in decline and our economy headed toward recession. But we acted. We delivered historic tax relief: Over 1.4 million new jobs have been created since August and our economy is the fastest growing of any industrialized nation.
We saw war and grief arrive on a quiet September morning. While we comforted those who had lost family or friends, we pursued the terrorist enemy across the world. We've captured or killed many key leaders of al Qaeda and the rest know there is no cave or hole deep enough for terrorists to hide from American justice.
In Iraq, we acted to remove the threat of Saddam Hussein and freed 25 million Iraqis from the tyranny of a madman. Now illegal militias, foreign fighters and terrorists are trying to take control by force what they could never gain by the ballot. They know a free Iraq will be a major advance in our War on Terror. But we will defend Iraq and defeat these enemies.
Because we acted, nations like Libya got the message and voluntarily disarmed. Because we acted, an example of democracy is rising at the very heart of the Middle East. Because we acted, the world is freer, and America is more secure.
In the fight against terror we worked with Congress to pass the Patriot Act and brought down the artificial wall so law enforcement and intelligence officers could talk with each other to help prevent future attacks. We are working hard to keep terrorist attacks limited and outside of America's homeland.
At home, we have left more money in the hands that earned it by passing the largest tax relief in a generation. By spending and investing and helping create new jobs, the American people used their money far better than the government would have.
We passed the No Child Left Behind Act to reform an education system that has failed the neediest students in our nation's classrooms. Every child must learn to read and no child will be left behind.
But there is more work to do and as the campaign enters the summer, I need your help again. Your continued support today will mean the difference in a close election. I hope you will make a donation of $2,000, $1,000, $500, $250 or even $100 or $50 today.

The man who sits in the Oval Office will set the course of the War on Terror and the direction of our economy. So there is a lot at stake in this coming November election.
My opponent has built up quite a record in nearly 20 years in Washington, D.C. In fact, he's been in Washington long enough to take both sides on nearly every issue. He reminds me of a saying we have about the weather in Texas -- If you don't like it at the moment, just wait a few minutes...it'll change.
That is no way to lead a nation, particularly when so much is on the line. My opponent hasn't offered much in the way of strategies to win the War on Terror or to expand prosperity. But he has certainly got his liberal allies all stirred up to attack me.
These groups, funded by large "soft money" donations from wealthy left-wing liberals have been running television commercials against me for months now.
That's why I need your help. Federal law allows gifts up to $2,000 per person or $4,000 per couple: I would greatly appreciate it if you'd send $2,000, $1,000, $500, $250 or even $100 or $50 today.

Dwight, we still have work to do. We must win the War on Terror; the world is counting on America. We must spread prosperity to every part of our nation. We must work together over the next four years to make America a safer, more prosperous and better place -- and encourage the spirit of service and compassion that makes America the finest country on the face of the Earth.
History has given us great challenges. Let us welcome these challenges and let our actions testify to the greatness of America. Thank you for your friendship and your prayers. May God continue to bless our nation.

Friends, he needs our help. Another piece of snail mail I received (from Bill Frist, I believe) estimated that the 527 organizations like George Soros' "Moveon.org" are outspending the conservatives by a ratio of 110 to 1.
The President is being outpaced in monies lately by the liberals. We should do what we can...a donation as small as $10 helps...so far, we've given about $400 this election cycle, not as much as others, but a sacrifice nonetheless.
Our household will try to do more...but I want to appeal to FREEPers who haven't given anything, to do so. If you have given already, please consider doing so again...even if the amount is small, it can help even the playing field.
And don't forget to pray for our President. He is facing terrorists (abroad and at home), a hostile press (abroad and at home) and political enemies (abroad and at home).
Thanks for doing what you can.

when politicians BAN the illegal gift $$$ donations from lobbyists, I may consider donating my money that I have left after the politicians have stolen it!
Maybe if the RNC began to clean up their party in earnest, loudly, and publicly ... there would not be as much need to defeat obvious communist organizations such as:
moveon.org
answer
dnc
progressive dimocrats
ACP - communist
ASP - socialist
queernation
etc etc etc
but NO! the RNC is replete with cowards who are too damned afraid of losing their LOBBYIST $$$$ PAYOLA!
Why won't the RNC 'leaders' tell the truth for once???
The LAST American Leader:
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
-- Ronald Reagan
There is no other viable choice for President.
I did not deserve that rant.
bump
What 527s who support our side could we be giving to?
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Club For Growth...but if you haven't hit the $2000 mark yet, maybe you could just give straight to the President. :)

Your diatribe was ill-placed on this thread...
It's Bush or Kerry and if you don't want to help the effort to keep Bush then get the hell out of the way.
There actually is new organization that looks very promising, too. It's run by Howard Kaloogian, the gent who started the California Recall. I've got my fingers crossed that this group could become our side's MoveOn-type organization.
It's called Move America Forward and Michael Moore was taped on Canadian TV complaining about the group the other day :-)

You mean if I had $5,000 I wanted to give to GW I couldn't do it ???? ;-)
"But at least we live in a FREE country" repeat 100 times. Maybe someday it'll be true again......
not you - but I also did not hear you demand the truth!
I am talking about speaking the truth about our enemies - the truth about the dnc - the truth about soros and moveon.org - trh truth about answer - the truth about dean, kuchinic (he at least told the truth!), sharpton, gephardt,.....
COMMUNISTS ALL! they have one goal in mind and that is to DESTROY our country as it barely stands.
Why won't the rnc tell the truth?
and yes, I am going to vote for Bush - what choice is there? America or communism?
Choose your fights. This certainly should not be one of them. Send a check to the President.
I have been saying to anyone who will listen to me (with the local GOP) that the DEM's (DNC) would out-spend us BIG Time this year - (which is coming true and they definitely will)
527's (DEM 527's) are killing us - Make that they killed us for months and months with NO response from the GOP - who had no ground game up and running on GOP 527's - HUGE MISTAKE -
Nontheless, I just got a flyer Friday from the 'Bush/Cheney Relection Campaign' and $100 will be sent in tomorrow.
$100.00 done right now! Almost fifty million Americans voted for GW Bush in 2000! Imagine if just one million of those voters contributed $10.00. That's ten million bucks! You got to put your money where your mouth is. This is not an ordinary election. You are voting for your continued freedom, security and survival this time. Wake up and ante up your ten bucks, or more, if possible! This current Democrat Party needs to be destroyed this November at the ballot box!
Already have. But polluting FR for the best cause in the world is still pollution.
I've given money, and I'll give more.
But just as important IMHO, we also need to sign up to work for the campaing. Phone banks. Door to door, delivering campaign literature. Getting one vote at a time. Foot soldiers - boots on the ground right here in the USA. We need to tell our neighbors the truth about GWB, and make sure they get out to vote for him.
Don't sit back and expect the other guy to do your share. Let's get up off our butts and fight to make sure Bush wins in November.
