Thanks to your efforts, a number of Tea Party Express candidates have won races this year, and a number of our "worst offender" targets have been defeated. Now we need to turn your attention to a very important race coming up: the Alaska U.S. Senate race. I've spent the better part of my life living in Alaska, being raised there and graduating from college in the state. Senator Lisa Murkowski is the RINO Republican incumbent who must be defeated. She's in tight with the Republican leadership in Congress. And sadly she is one of the worst offenders in the Republican Party in going along with the tax-spend-bailout agenda of the Democrats. In recent years she has voted more with the Democrats than any other Republican in the U.S. Senate - and we know there are some notable RINO Republicans in the Senate. Here's a clue as to how bad Murkowski is - just witness the recent push for ObamaCare. When Gov. Sarah Palin put out the warning alarm about the "death panel" provisions in the legislation working its way through Congress, Senator Murkowski stepped forward and defended the bill. Consider the headline of the August 11, 2009 story in the Anchorage Daily News: Murkowski: Don't tell lies about the health-care reform bill." Once ObamaCare was passed by Congress, there were immediate efforts by Conservatives to organize a push to defund or repeal ObamaCare. What did Senator Murkowski do? She went on TV and said we shouldn't try to repeal ObamaCare. Watch her yourself:
Lisa Murkowski needs to be defeated. And fortunately there is a fantastic tea party conservative running against her: Conservative Republican, Joe Miller. Miller was recently endorsed by Gov. Sarah Palin, and we at the Tea Party Express endorsed Joe Miller shortly thereafter. We are excited about the opportunity to replace a big government failed politician - in this case Lisa Murkowski - with a constitutional conservative, Joe Miller! We have a lot of momentum with the recent victory of tea party conservatives, but this race is going to be tough - Lisa Murkowski is a very entrenched incumbent, and she has $2 million sitting in her campaign bank account. So we need your help to fight back and help elect the constitutional conservative in this race, Joe Miller, to the U.S. Senate. We need our first advertising effort in this campaign to be BIG. If we're going to take out an entrenched incumbent, we're going to have to make a big splash and grab people's attention and get them to focus on her failed record. |
