When we launched this campaign, no one believed it would be easy. We knew that, this time, our opponent could not take this race for granted. We knew that he would attempt to distract the voters of this district from his ten-year record of failed leadership.
It's clear now that Lee Terry is frightened, and his campaign will say and do anything in order to win this race. He hired an east-coast political operative who is a master of dirty campaigning. He recruited our former primary opponent to head up a "truth squad" that is hardly interested in the truth. He has been spreading lies and disinformation on websites and blogs, all in an attempt to tear his opponent down so that he won't have to answer for his own record.
From the moment this campaign began, our opponent has been begging for help from the National Republican Party, from the State Republican Party, and from House Republican leaders. In the next few months, we will face dishonest, destructive, and distorted attacks against our campaign. We need your help to fight back. Help us reach our goal of $10,000 by July 31.
With your donation of $10, $25, $50, or $100, we will be able to fight back against these attacks. Join this effort and put an end to the politics of division and destruction. We deserve better for this district.
Thank you for your support. Your continued energy and enthusiasm will ensure victory in November.
