We Must Vote The key to a politician’s success is votes. They work very hard learning how to win votes. They
may or may not know how to do anything else but they will do and say whatever it takes to get votes. During
this recent presidential election I watched as Democrats and Republicans pandered to women voters and completely ignored men.
Why did they ignore men? Women have outvoted men for the past twenty-eight years. Obama won the votes of 56 per cent of women, who made up 53 per cent of the electorate. Obama needed 270 electoral
votes to win; women alone gave him 285. Until men start voting in much larger numbers, they will continue to be ignored by
politicians. In the 2004 presidential race nine million more women than men voted and it is expected that even
more women voted in the 2008 presidential election. In addition, a study by the Women's Campaign Forum showed that women
tripled the amount of their donations compared to the 2000 Presidential election. This
is how important votes are to politicians. I received this letter from the head of the GOP. Look at how hard they are fighting
to keep this seat. They can't buy it or trade new cars for it, they need VOTES. For those of you that think your
one vote is not important, look at how important just a few hundred VOTES are. In order for men to understand the power of their votes, they must realize how important it is to a politician. As you know, my mission as the new
Chairman of the Republican National Committee is to rebuild our party from the grassroots up – using new technology
to spread our conservative message and remind voters that our party is the one and only true party of the people. But
before we get too far down that road, we’ve got some unfinished business to attend to. Specifically, we’ve got
to stop liberal Democrat comedian Al Franken from stealing Norm Coleman’s U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota.
As you may know, Norm Coleman won re-election on November 4th by 215 votes. But a subsequent recount --
tainted with inconsistencies and improperly counted ballots -- awarded a temporary 225-vote margin to Franken. As
I write to you, Franken and his allies are working feverishly to persuade a panel of judges in Minnesota that certain un-counted
ballots must remain un-counted… and deny the one-person, one-vote principle which is the very foundation of our democratic
process. Your immediate financial support of the Coleman for Senate Recount Fund will help us stop this
tragic injustice, and I urge you to click here now to help. As the former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland
and candidate for the U.S. Senate, I’m no stranger to the gutter campaign tactics and shady legal maneuverings of the
Left Wing. They don’t fight fair, and they’ll stop at nothing to consolidate the power they crave. This
outrageous power grab by Al Franken and Harry Reid must not stand. With Norm Coleman in the Senate protecting taxpayers,
it would have been much more difficult for Obama and Reid to get the 60 votes they needed to pass their outrageous,
pork-laden stimulus package. And with Norm in the Senate protecting workers, it will be much more difficult for
the Democrats to pass “Card-Check” legislation that will prevent the right of workers to cast
secret ballots in union elections. These are but just a few of the reasons why I’m counting on you to support
Norm Coleman’s recount fund with the most generous contribution you can make. Click here to contribute
$15, $25 or $35. If you can contribute $50, $100, $500 or more – up to the legal maximum of $2,300 per person –
please do so now. Whatever the amount, we need your help to keep a good man doing a fine job for the conservative
principles you and I share. Republicans must once again assert that the opportunities this nation has to offer rests
not in government, but in the hands of individuals. Through both our words and our deeds, our party will do just that in the
elections to come. But first, we’ve got some unfinished business from 2008. The power to return Norm
Coleman to the U.S. Senate rests in your hands right now, through the click of a mouse and your contribution to
the Coleman for Senate Recount Fund. I look forward to your reply. Help me help Norm, and begin the process of
rebuilding our party for 2010 and beyond. Thanks so much, |
