Donate to Mourdock now please..he's earned it...and WE NEED HIM !!

Please read this special message from our sponsor, Richard Mourdock for U.S. Senate.

Patriot,

The good news. Thanks to folks like you, Conservatives united and we just pulled off a historic upset of Senator Dick Lugar in the Indiana GOP primary!

The bad news. We’re now facing a tough General Election campaign, and our bank accounts are depleted. We left everything on the table to win the primary. And our opponent, Joe Donnelly, has over $800,000 to spend immediately in an attempt to smear us to start the General.

That's why I talked to my staff, and we just launched our Match Donnelly Money Bomb. I absolutely need you to join in.



Joe Donnelly has been a loyal soldier for Barack Obama. He was a deciding vote on ObamaCare. He voted for Obama's Stimulus program and his bailouts. Donnelly voted for Obama’s policies so often that the President calls him his "Partner.”

It’s no surprise that Obama’s SuperPACs are gearing up to spend millions for Donnelly.

You can understand why we must Match Donnelly’s $800,000 immediately. It’s incredibly important that we are able to respond to the Obama/Donnelly attack machine.

Will you pitch in $35, $50, or even $100 to send Donnelly a strong message that our campaign is ready to run hard in the General Election?

We know conservatives will rally behind us. The NRA, Tea Party Express, Club for Growth, National Review and others have already endorsed us. But we need your support now if we expect to win, and help conservatives take over the U.S. Senate in 2012.

You can follow the progress of our Match Donnelly Money Bomb by visiting www.richardmourdock.com/matchdonnelly.

Sincerely,

Richard Mourdock

Republican Nominee
U.S. Senate, Indiana

P.S. We just won a tough fight for conservatives all across the nation. Every voter and donor played a vital role. To win, we left everything on the table and it took every dollar we had. Help us get ready to face the Obama/Donnelly attack machine by making a contribution today.

Tea Party Poised for Gains In the Senate
Tuesday, 08 May 2012 01:20 PM
By Newsmax Wires

As tea partyer Richard Mourdock appears set to win Indiana’s Republican Senate primary Tuesday over incumbent Richard Lugar, things are looking up for the tea party movement in the Senate.

Mourdock, currently state Treasurer, represents one of six tea party-backed candidates in Republican Senate primaries. And if several of them are able to score victories, the movement could gain great power in the Senate, The Hill reports.

Other strong tea party candidates include Rep. Jeff Flake, who is favored to win the Arizona Senate Republican primary; Josh Mandel, the GOP nominee in Ohio; and Ted Cruz, who may be part of a runoff election in Texas.

The leading tea partyers currently in the Senate are the chamber’s Tea Party Caucus founders Jim DeMint of South Carolina, Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Mike Lee of Utah. DeMint’s Senate Conservatives Fund has endorsed Flake, Mandel, and Cruz.

“In the middle of a campaign season that’s been dominated by talk of [the] presidential race, there has been a group of independent conservative candidates that is gradually building momentum and gaining support,” Matt Hoskins, a spokesman for the Fund, told The Hill. “We could have another election with an injection of the new blood of tea party conservatives in the Senate.”

Erick Erickson, editor-in-chief of RedState.com, believes that the tea party will have serious influence in the next Senate. “I don’t think they’ll have a majority of the conference, but they will have enough representation to give [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell and the Democrats a serious headache,” he told The Hill.
