Time To Shake Up The Senate

I'm proud to report that we are making remarkable progress in our campaign to shake up the United States Senate.

Several months ago, the Washington establishment and the elites in the mainstream media scoffed at our endorsements of conservative candidates. They said these outsiders had no chance of defeating their better-known and better-funded Republican opponents.

They were wrong. Our candidates stood on principle, gave voters a true choice, and surged to victory.

Then, the establishment said our principled candidates were "extreme" and would certainly lose the general election to more "mainstream" Democrats. You see, these insiders are convinced that Americans are liberal at heart and would never vote for someone who believes in limited government.

They were wrong, again. In fact, in poll after poll, conservatives are surging.

The Senate Conservatives Fund is now supporting nine rock-solid conservative Senate candidates, and I'm proud to report that according to the most recent Rasmussen Reports surveys, EVERY ONE is now LEADING IN THE POLLS.

In Pennsylvania, Pat Toomey leads Joe Sestak by 6 points;

In Florida, Marco Rubio leads Charlie Crist and Kendrick Meek by 10 points.

In Colorado, Ken Buck leads Michael Bennet by 4 points.

In Kentucky, Rand Paul leads Jack Conway by 10 points.

In Utah, Mike Lee leads Sam Granato by 25 points.

In Nevada, Sharron Angle leads Harry Reid by 2 points.

In Wisconsin, Ron Johnson leads Russ Feingold by 1 point.

In Washington, Dino Rossi leads Patty Murray by 3 points; and

In Alaska, Joe Miller leads Scott McAdams by 6 points.

It doesn't matter what part of the country they are in, conservatives candidates are surging. America is waking up to the threat posed by a federal government that taxes too much, spends too much, and borrows too much.

Americans are coming to recognize that this election is the most important of our lifetime. If we don't turn things around soon, it may be too late. That is why I am so grateful to each of you who have sacrificed your time and money to promote these outstanding leaders.

First, the critics said our candidates couldn't win their primaries, and then they said they were too "extreme" to win the general election. Now, they're beginning to talk about what will happen WHEN -- not IF -- they are elected.

In fact, the Wall Street Journal published a story this week that says our candidates will destroy the comity of the Senate.

My response to this is: too bad!!

It's time that the world's most deliberative body have people serving in it who actually read the bills and who have the courage to say "No!" It's time to elect leaders who will take their oath of office to "support and defend" the Constitution, and mean it.

A lot of people are now discussing the possibility of Republicans taking back the majority in the Senate this year. That may be possible and it may not. What's important is that we elect as many principled conservatives as possible.

The last thing the Republican Party needs in 2010 is a repeat of 1994 where it elects leaders who fail to live up to their promises. That is why the Senate Conservatives Fund puts principle ahead of party and works to elect only those candidates who will fight for balanced budgets, constitutional limits, and individual liberty.

I cannot describe the magnitude of the impact we will have in the fight to save freedom if these nine leaders are elected in November. Each of them has demonstrated a deep commitment to the principles of freedom that have made America great and each of them has demonstrated a willingness to stand up to their own party when it's necessary.

But these victories could slip away so we MUST fight until the very end.

Many of you have contributed generously to our candidates, and it has made all the difference. Today, I'm writing to ask you to support the Senate Conservatives Fund so our PAC has the resources to reach millions of other patriots across the country. If we're going to overcome the special interests and the liberal media, we need to grow our team and put real muscle behind our candidates.

The Washington establishment wants them to fail and to be honest, it wants me to fail. I have upset a lot of people by supporting underdog, anti-establishment candidates. The Beltway insiders would like nothing more than to see our candidates lose so they can blame me for Republican electoral losses. They want to continue to promote the lie that conservatives can only win in certain states.

Please support the Senate Conservatives Fund today so that doesn't happen. Please make a contribution so we can run the ads necessary to keep the liberals from defeating our candidates.

Let's create an earthquake election that renews constitutional principles and restores America's greatness.

Thank you for your support. We'll keep fighting.

Respectfully,
Jim DeMint Signature
