I received the following important letter today from Gov. Kaine. Please do what you can to help Jim Webb compete with George "97% Bush Clone" Allen. Thanks!
I am writing to you about an urgent matter to ensure we keep Virginia moving forward. Last Tuesday, Virginians nominated Jim Webb as the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate. The Virginia Senate seat may very well hold the key to Democrats re-capturing the U.S. Senate in November.I need you to help Jim get there.
Jim's committed to fighting for the little guy. He does not have access to the millions of special interest dollars his opponent will have this November.
Because of this, George Allen has already raised $11 million. We must help Jim close the gap as much as possible before the Federal Elections Committee fundraising deadline. I need you to support Jim, as you supported me last year. Contribute to his General Election Campaign Fund before the June 30th fundraising deadline!
I can't tell you how important it is to have Jim in the U.S. Senate.Jim's leadership credentials are impeccable. Jim is a decorated Marine, a former Assistant Secretary of Defense and Secretary of the Navy.
Jim's campaign is focused on three themes: 1) Focus our defense efforts on the best strategy to fight terrorism and defend our nation, 2) Fight for economic opportunity for all Americans, not just the wealthy and well-connected, and 3) Real leadership in Congress, leadership that puts Virginians ahead of partisanship.
Jim's experience, agenda, and vision are what we need to help protect the American people at home and our vital interests abroad. Jim is the kind of partner I need to represent the interests of Virginians in Washington, D.C.
The June 30th deadline is a critical fundraising benchmark for Jim Webb's campaign. The media and pundits will be looking to see if Jim has the resources to fight back against George Allen's war chest of special interest dollars. Today, I am committing myself to doing everything I can to help ensure Jim has the resources he needs to win this November. With a strong fundraising quarter, you will help Jim make a statement that his campaign to Take Back Virginia is strong and ready to win in November.
Will you commit to moving Virginia forward with Jim Webb?
Sincerely,
Tim Kaine
