Dear Fellow Conservative:
This could be the most important message I send you this entire election cycle so I implore you to take a few minutes to read it.
The battle lines have now been drawn in the most important U.S. Senate race in the nation. This November, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — the most powerful liberal in Congress — will face Nevada Assemblywoman Sharron Angle — one of the strongest conservative voices in the country.
According to a recent Rasmussen Reports poll, Sharron Angle leads Harry Reid by 11 points. This is an amazing achievement but we cannot let her lead slip away.
Harry Reid is a liberal Democrat who has lead the effort to pass President Obama's radical agenda and used backroom deals like the Cornhusker Kickback to buy votes for government takeovers and runaway spending.
Sharron Angle is a conservative warrior who has fought endless battles against taxes, spending, and liberals in both parties in the Nevada Assembly.
Sharron Angle is a former teacher, not a career politician. She first made a name for herself by fighting her own party on an attempted $800 million tax hike — a battle that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
As the proud grandmother of ten, Sharron Angle wants to do everything in her power to ensure America's next generation is not forced to pay the bill for the gross misconduct of today's elected leaders.
Nobody thought she could defeat her Washington-backed opponent in the Republican primary but she did because of her uncompromising support for conservative principles.
If Sharron Angle defeats Harry Reid in November, it will trigger a political earthquake that will shake Washington to its core. Nothing would do more to stop President Obama and his radical agenda than defeating Harry Reid.
But winning this conservative victory will be the most difficult of them all. Harry Reid has a $9 million war chest and will use very penny of it — along with millions from liberal interest groups — to smear Sharron Angle. Make no mistake: Harry Reid will do whatever it takes to hold on to power.
Sharron Angle is ready to fight and win.
This is a contest between two very different candidates.
* Harry Reid voted for the Wall Street bailout. Sharron Angle opposed it.
* Harry Reid voted for government-run health care. Sharron Angle says no.
* Harry Reid voted for trillions in deficit spending and supported pork barrel projects like the Bridge to Nowhere.
Sharron Angle supports a balanced budget amendment and will fight to end the earmark favor factory.
The choice is clear, but only if we make it clear for every voter in Nevada. And we don't have much time.
Harry Reid and his allies will begin attacking Sharron Angle immediately and we must respond or our chance at conservative victory could be lost.
I have put together a plan to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into the Nevada Senate race — along with several others like it — to achieve conservative victory. This plan includes running statewide television and radio ads, sending direct mail to targeted voters, and operating phone banks — all geared toward defeating Harry Reid in November.
As you probably know, I'm one of the few unapologetic conservatives serving in the U.S. Senate today. I have a 100% score from the American Conservative Union and I'm in the trenches fighting President Obama's liberal agenda every day. [AMEN!]
I am also the chairman of the Senate Conservatives Fund, a cutting-edge political action committee that is dedicated to electing rock-solid conservative leaders to the U.S. Senate.
The Senate Conservatives Fund has endorsed Sharron Angle in Nevada because she's a true conservative, not a rubber-stamp Republican. Being a Republican is not enough these days. In order to receive the support of the Senate Conservatives Fund, candidates must demonstrate a core commitment to our nation's founding principles and a willingness to stand up to their own party when it's wrong.
So far this year, the Senate Conservatives Fund has been on front lines in Pennsylvania, Florida, and Kentucky — successfully helping Pat Toomey, Marco Rubio, and Rand Paul win their primary elections.
We've been successful in these races and now we're turning our sights to Nevada. This is the race we've all be waiting for — a chance to send a message loud and clear that Americans have had enough. This race, more than any other, will determine the future of our country.
Sharron Angle's victory in the Republican primary in Nevada has not only given us a chance to send a true warrior for freedom to the Senate, it has given us the opportunity to defeat the most powerful liberal in Congress.
Imagine replacing Harry Reid with a no-nonsense, outspoken conservative who will not rest until government is cut back to size and our economy is once again free to grow and prosper.
It can be done if we act now.
Thank you for supporting the principles of freedom that are the backbone of America. Together, we can and we will take back our country.
Respectfully,
Jim DeMint
United States Senator
Chairman, Senate Conservatives Fund
P.S. The Nevada Senate race is the most important election in the country this year. It's a contest between Harry Reid — the most powerful liberal in Congress — and Sharron Angle — one of the strongest conservative voices in America.

The fight is on!! Thank you Jim!!!
Who is managing the Angle ping list? I want on. Thanks.
heck, anybody running against Harry Reid is okay by me. ;)
Moderator, please fix the spelling of Sharron’s name in the headline...thnx.
BUMP
SHE’S A PLANT!!!!!
Oh wait
Nevermind.
Sharron Angle is a great candidate. If you don’t want to just defeat Harry Reid but also dismantle what he stands for. Putting Republicans back in power shouldn’t be the only goal. It is putting people in power like Rand Paul, like Sharron Angle, like Pat Toomy, like Marco Rubio who will act as the leaders of the second revolution not won with blood but with the vote. If we don’t turn things around within this generation I fear we can kiss turning this thing around before the cliff will be impossible. There are those among us who just want to return to George W Bush when what we need is a return to George Washington. Haven’t we had enough of being ruled by self important fools who because they do not respect their own limits of reason do not accept any limit to their power? We need to elect people who will break the chains that are strangling this nation.
Sharron’s name is misspelled in the headline. I’ve tried notifying the Moderator.
Is she a scientologist? Did she propose that the government provide massages to prisoners? She better get rid of these very serious Reid charges against her or she is going to fail. It is not good enough to just poo poo the smears - she better address them head on and honestly.
sounds good
Bump for Angle!
“s she a scientologist?”
No, she is a baptist. You are right, Sharron must fight back immediately to all Dirty Harry attacks. Can’t let any of them stick.
JIM DEMINT FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
As long as he doesn’t endorse Romney again, I’m cool.
Sharron is going to come by your house and personally answer all of your questions to your satisfaction. Please pick a time that will be good for you.
That's gonna leave a mark.
A Scientologist / Mormon senatorial contest would be awesome to watch on FR. It's quite likely every single person on the religious forums would get banned or suspended.
I have learned that she is a Baptist and Ried is lying about her. I don’t know where you are coming from...it sounded kinda creepy, actually.
