A Letter to Tea Party Members

E-mail Print
Dear Tea Party Member,

Thank you for your support during my campaign for congress. As we enter the final sixty days of the campaign, I need to know if you are as committed as I am to removing thirty-year incumbent Chris Smith from office?

I am relying on individuals like you to help get the word out about my conservative platform of returning to our Constitutional principles and thus standing up to an out of control Congress.

Our liberty and freedom are under attack like never before in our history. Washington politicians have overstepped their boundaries by ignoring the Constitution. They have taken over the health care industry, banking industry and the automotive industry. These moves have given Washington more and more control over our lives. The more control the government is given, the less liberty and freedom you will have as an individual.

Remember the words of Thomas Jefferson, “When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.” We are currently experiencing a soft tyranny that will grow stronger as the government takes more and more control over you.

It will get worse. Just wait until the Senate passes Cap and Trade. This bill has already passed in the House of Representatives by eight votes. Those eight votes, lead by Chris Smith, were cast by Republicans and are directly responsible for the passing of this bill.

It’s time that we get serious about the economic challenges facing our country. Cap and Trade promises to bring massive job loss, aggressively increase our utility bills and result in skyrocketing prices on everything we consume – food, toiletries, paper goods, gasoline and so on. Under this bill, homeowners could be forced to retrofit their homes with “energy efficient” furnaces, windows and appliances to meet federal “green” guidelines in order to sell their homes. It is estimated that home owners may have to spend up to $30,000 to meet these standards. This will make it nearly impossible to take care of and financially support our families. Our basic needs are now under attack – that’s inhumane – and we have Chris Smith to Blame.

The Tea Party’s Challenge

The massive expansion of government has given rise to the Tea Parties. People who have never been involved in the political process are now taking action to stop Washington from destroying America.

You will be the authors of this chapter in our history. Will you be able to say that you fought to defend freedom and protect the Constitution? Will it be said that you secured a legacy of liberty for generations to come? Or, sadly, will it read that you hesitated on “freedom’s watch,” sending back to Congress a man, who is willfully participating with Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi in fundamentally transforming our county, which will result in destroying the America we know and love?

We do not send our elected officials down to Washington to do “good deeds.” We send them to serve us by upholding the Constitution and to use good judgment when making decisions that affect our lives. For many years, Chris Smith has not used good judgment as evidenced by his voting record.

This election is an epic battle for our freedom. Will you commit to being benefactors of this battle? Will you send me to the front lines with the arsenal needed to defeat this enemy of freedom?

Your financial support of my campaign is imperative to winning. I cannot win this battle without your contributions. I need you to click on the "Donate" button above and make an immediate donation. At this point in the campaign, I need contributions of at least $100 or more.

The reality of successful Congressional campaigns is that it takes money to buy the materials necessary to reach every voter and inform them of Smith’s left wing voting record. The campaign needs to buy signs, print & mail letters, buy radio & TV advertising and more. Campaigns, like any business, have to purchase these services. They cost tens of thousands of dollars.

If I can’t buy these items, it would be the equivalent of sending soldiers into a battle without ammunition. I cannot send the Tea Party volunteers into the district without handouts or the air support provided by radio and TV.

You may be surprised to learn that the Republican National Committee (RNC) does not help congressional candidates. They spend their money on presidential and other high profile races. And, as we have seen recently, they waste their money on lavish parties and trips.

If everyone in the Tea Party movement gave $100, I would have enough money to win. Unfortunately, only a handful of members have stepped up and donated. I need everyone to click on the "Donate" button above and donate at least $100. If you expect everyone else to step up and donate, then the race will not be adequately funded and will end right here.

The Tea Party is Being Tested

Many of the Tea Party Supported Candidates have either dropped out or not received the party’s endorsement because they have been under-funded.

The Tea Party’s viability as an organization is being tested with this election. Will the Tea Party be able to bring a candidate to victory and therefore, be a “force to be reckoned with”?

It is not enough to rely on “word of mouth” or solely on the efforts of volunteers. In an election, you need to be able to reach those people who aren’t as well informed about the issues as you are. You cannot physically reach all of these people to educate them on the issues, the candidates and their platforms. The Congressional districts are too large - the fourth district stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Delaware River. That’s why TV, radio and direct mail are imperative to a successful campaign.

The reason the Republican Party has not embraced – in fact they are distancing themselves from - the Tea Party movement is that they understand the importance of well funded campaigns. They know that Tea Party supported candidates are under funded.

Chris Smith and SEIU

Most people do not know the real Chris Smith. The people need to be informed about Chris Smith’s thirty-year record of left-wing votes that rank him as the most liberal Republican in the House. The people also need to know about his ties to special interests.

Chris Smith is Big Labor’s #1 “Republican” ally. They fully fund his campaigns year after year. The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) alone has given Smith $32,500 since 2000.

SEIU are the union thugs in Purple Shirts who’ve been trying to disrupt “Tea Party” meetings. They’re the left-wing zealots leading the fight for President Obama and Nancy Pelosi’s socialist agenda which has lead to a government takeover of health care, banking and the auto industries.

In exchange for SEIU’s money and tens of thousands of dollars from other big unions, Smith gladly voted for Cap and Trade, co-sponsored Card Check, voted twice against extending the 2001/2003 tax cuts and on, and on, and on.

You see, once the race starts heating up, Smith is going to call his friends at SEIU like Andy Stern, Andy Stern has had direct access to Barack Obama and has been very influential in the government take over of the health care industry

Smith will also call on the AFL-CIO and other big labor unions to fill his campaign coffers with hundreds of thousands of dollars. They have been fully funding his campaigns for years.

Remember this, if a politician does not need you (the people) to get elected, he will not serve you once he gets to Washington.

This is why I am raising my campaign funds from individuals like you. I will to Washington to serve you, the people.

It is said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. You know what you will get with Smith. It makes no sense to send him back.

If you send Smith back to Washington, he will feel even more empowered to continue supporting Barack Obama’s big government agenda that is fundamentally changing our country, which will result in destroying the America we know and love. He’s been voting this way for thirty years. He is not going to change.

Why do you think Barack Obama appointed him to the United Nations delegation? It’s because he can count on Smith to support the United Nation’s agenda to redistribute American wealth to foreign countries through international Cap & Trade agreements and other programs that threaten our sovereignty.

Smith doesn’t need you to get elected. He has big labor unions and SEIU funding his campaigns. Smith counts on voters who are busy supporting their families not to research his record. He works hard to distract you with his reelection theatrics.

We do not send our elected officials down to Washington to do “good deeds.” We send them to serve us by upholding the Constitution and to use good judgment when making decisions that affect our lives. For many years, Chris Smith has not used good judgment as evidenced by his voting record.

Smith has been in Washington since Jimmy Carter was President. It’s time for him to go. Congress is not an entitlement. It was never intended to be a career.

There are only sixty (60) days left to cancel Smith’s Cap & Trade vote. If he goes back, Cap & Trade will be set in stone, a done deal. If I win, I will fight like hell to stop Cap & Trade by blocking funding and fighting to repeal it. I will do the same for health care and continue the fight for Tax Cuts and Jobs.

What will you do -- settle for a congressman who has sold us out to special interests and the Obama-Pelosi agenda?

My campaign is simple – present the voter with Smith’s left-wing voting record – and voters overwhelmingly choose me. This is what we see every day in our campaign. But, to reach all the voters, I need you to contribute.

If you do, I will win and return this safe Republican seat to a true conservative. Otherwise, the campaign ends here and no one else will step up to run.

On to Victory!

Alan
