9 Million Dollars In Attack Ads

Dear Friend and Supporter,

In the Fox News debate, Speaker Gingrich received huge applause for his big ideas about exactly how he would reform the judiciary, President Obama’s abysmal failure on the Keystone pipeline, and his relentless positive attitude towards his fellow candidates. His clear, conservative vision to rebuild the America we love was apparent for all to see and Newt was able to rebut the dishonest attacks from some of his rivals about his unparalleled record of conservative accomplishment.

However, since this was the last debate before the Iowa caucus on January 3rd, we are no longer going to be able to rely on Newt’s extraordinary debate performances to drive his positive message.  The $9 million in negative advertising launched by Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and their supporters against Speaker Gingrich is starting to have an impact and we need the resources necessary to respond on the air in Iowa.

The good news is we do not need to counter these attack ads by attacking other good Republicans because when people are reminded of Newt’s record of conservative accomplishment and his bold ideas to rebuild the America we love, they support his nomination for President of the United States. It is critical that we respond by reminding people of those conservative qualities by increasing the number of positive ads airing in Iowa. We cannot let the establishment and other campaigns tear down an accomplished conservative leader so that they can once again choose our nominee.

You are the engine that drives this campaign. We rely on your energy and creativity to help us communicate our message, and we rely on your generous financial support to fund our advertisements and organization. Campaigns are about momentum, and we need to keep the momentum behind the accomplished conservative in this race by increasing our ad buy this week. Our goal is to raise $500,000 by the end of the weekend, before we suspend regular fundraising efforts to allow everyone to enjoy the week leading up to Christmas!

This is an ambitious fundraising goal, and we will only be successful if you make the decision to offer your generous support to our campaign today. Will you support the accomplished conservative and a positive campaign by making a contribution of $25, $50, $100, up to the maximum of $2500?

To reach our goal, we need 1,000 Newt supporters to make a contribution of at least $100, and 100 Newt supporters tomake a contribution of at least $500. When combined with thousands of smaller contributions, this will push us over our fundraising goal.

Thank You,

Michael Krull
