To My Dear Friends and Supporters,
I am writing you today regarding two very serious items:
1. To announce that I am running for the California State Assembly, District 56;
2. To let you know that I urgently need your help in this endeavor today.
Please read on . . .
Due to the combination of redistricting and term limits, there is no incumbent running for reelection in the 56th Assembly District. This resulting open seat is a wonderful opportunity for us to really make a difference in our State Government. As of this writing, there are only 2 major party candidates running for this seat; a Liberal Democrat, and me, a dedicated Conservative Constitutional Republican.
There is one pressing problem, however. We must raise the funds to pay the exorbitant filing fees (approximately $1000) required by the State of California in order to qualify for the ballot by the beginning of the coming week, as well as many other miscellaneous expenses. As I write this, we are far short of the goal.
Please note that no other Conservative Republican has stepped up to run for this open seat, and if we do not raise the funds necessary to secure my place on the ballot, we may well find ourselves in the untenable position of having a liberal Democrat running virtually unopposed for this seat. We must not allow that to happen!
Many of you have encouraged me to run for this office; I ask you now to please help make that possible by sending the largest contribution you possibly can today.
Please make your checks out to:
"Brantuk for Assembly" or "John W. Brantuk" (whichever is easier)
and mail them today, or as soon as possible to:
Brantuk for Assembly
P.O. Box 171
Whittier, CA 90608

One last note: Please be aware that once elected it is likely that I will serve only one term in the Assembly. My actions in office will not be colored by thoughts of reelection, but only by doing what is right and what truly upholds the Constitution.
My purpose in office will not be to make friends; my purpose will be to make a positive difference, no matter who's feathers I ruffle.
Thank you for your support. I value it more that I can express.
Best regards,
John W. Brantuk, Sr.
Candidate for Assembly, 56th District
Current Chairman, 58th Assembly District Republican Central Committee
Member, California Republican Party
Phone: (562) 698-2870
Fax: (562) 698-2810
P.S. Whether or not you are in a position to make a donation today, please forward this request on to others who may be able to help. We must raise the necessary funds quickly.
Time is of the essence.
Again, I sincerely thank you.
Since there is no other Republican running against me for the Republican nomination, my "winning" the nomination in the March Primary is already a done deal.
I certainly am interested, however, in getting in touch with ALL Conservative organizations - we can use all the help we can get!
Please let me know who to contact.
We will use it wisely.

I spit on democrats, phtoooooey!!!!!
3 to 1 odds sounds pretty good to me!!
Good luck!!
I sent mine too and made a few calls to people I had worked with on other campaigns down there.
With all the Freepers support, I don't see how we can do anything but WIN!!!
Just think of what we could accomplish if we can get the word out to 100,000 patriots, and they all just made a small contribution each!
We'd have a "war chest" that would obliterate the liberals!
