Can you fucking believe this. The establishment Republicans are now so desperate they are trying to encourage Democrats to vote in the Republican Primary for Lugar. Mourdock needs your help. PLEASE contribute. NOW. Fellow Conservatives, I don't know if you saw this email from Richard last Thursday. Perhaps you even donated to the campaign already – thanks! Because of your generosity we have been able to exceed our $100k goal! This only adds to our chorus of good news. On Friday, Sarah Palin endorsed Richard. Also, one of Lugar's out of state special interest PACs announced they were no longer supporting him financially. We also received the endorsement of the Evansville Courier and Press. But those things aren't stopping Lugar's desperate attack machine. In fact, over the weekend we learned that another D.C. establishment group is joining with Dick Lugar to try to encourage Democrats to vote in the Republican Primary. Conservative commentator Michelle Malkin now says its "Mourdock vs the Beltway GOP Establishment." Erick Erickson, of RedState.com says this tactic is "offensive." That's why I'm emailing you again. I've talked with Richard, and it's now clear that we need to raise another $25k immediately to help run some additional ads in the Indianapolis TV market where Dick Lugar is working overtime to smear Richard's reputation. Will you make an immediate contribution of whatever you can afford? Our polls, and the polls of other 3rd party organizations, show that we are running ahead of Dick Lugar now, and we can win this thing. But we can't keep getting outspent by hundreds of thousands of dollars. A contribution of $35, $50 or even $100 would make a great big difference. Ashlee Walls Finance Director, Mourdock for Senate From: Richard Mourdock [mailto:contact@richardmourdock.com] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 12:50 PM To: Ashlee Walls Subject: Dick Lugar Trails by 5 Thursday morning Fellow Conservatives Three weeks ago, I sent an email saying we were down 6 points. Now, two polls show us LEADING Senator Lugar by as many as 5 points! (Politico, 4/26/12). It boils down to this. As we enter the final week of the campaign, Lugar is currently outspending us 4 to 1. If we want to defeat "Obama's favorite Republican," I need $100,000 to counter his desperate attack ads. Donate.RichardMourdock.com It's crunch time. The Republican Senate primary is on May 8th. I need your help today. This is going to happen! Sincerely, Richard Mourdock Indiana State Treasurer and Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate
