To: longnshort who wrote (663848 ) 7/25/2012 12:44:44 PM From: THE WATSONYOUTH Respond to of 1577946 Fellow Conservatives: Here's a brief update on the five candidates endorsed by the Senate Conservatives Fund. Please stay informed and do what you can to support these outstanding conservative leaders. TEXAS | Ted Cruz | Primary: July 31 Early voting has now begun in Texas. Thanks to your generous support, we launched a new television ad this week supporting Ted Cruz. The commercial will run on network TV in the four largest media markets until Election Day. Watch Save America . We're making a large investment in this race because Ted Cruz's opponent, David Dewhurst, is spending millions on false attack ads. The latest smear goes so far as to blame Cruz for the death of a teenager. It's gutter politics at its worst. But thanks to your contributions, Ted Cruz is fighting back with a TV ad of his own. Watch At It Again . WISCONSIN | Mark Neumann | Primary: August 14 Campaign commercials are back in Wisconsin. This time, they're for the open U.S. Senate seat. Of course all of the candidates claim to be conservative, but only one -- Mark Neumann -- has a record to back it up. Neumann has launched his first two TV ads, which demonstrate his determination to stand up to President Obama's liberal agenda and the wasteful Washington spending that's bankrupting our country. Watch Obamacare and Cocaine and Quail Don't Mix . ARIZONA | Jeff Flake | Primary: August 28 Jeff Flake has released his first TV ad, which highlights his conservative accomplishments. Flake has been endorsed by all leading conservative organizations, he led the fight to get rid of earmarks, and has been named a "taxpayer superhero." Watch Battle-Tested . Also, former Governor Sarah Palin endorsed Jeff Flake earlier this week. Here's what she had to say about him: “Credited by many as the leading anti-earmark crusader in the House, Jeff has fought hard against pork barrel spending -- often times casting one of the few GOP ‘no’ votes on bloated spending measures. He’s not afraid to ‘go rogue’ against his own party and its leadership; and even though he has sometimes suffered the consequences from GOP leaders for failing to toe the party line, yet he continues to fight for what is right." OHIO | Josh Mandel | General: November 6 According to a new Rasmussen poll released last week, the race in Ohio has tightened within the margin of error, with Sherrod Brown at 46% and Josh Mandel at 42%. This poll of likely voters comes in the wake of another poll that showed Sherrod Brown's approval rating down to 38% overall and at a dismal 33% among Independent voters. The more people in Ohio learn about Sherrod Brown's record of voting party-line 95% of the time, being named the "Most Liberal Senator in America", and casting the deciding vote on the government takeover of healthcare, the more they want to boot him out of office. Liberals are terrified of Josh Mandel. They know that if he wins, he won't just defeat a liberal politician who has been in office for 38 years. He will also likely take control of the U.S. Senate away from Harry Reid. That is why liberal interest groups are flooding Ohio with attack ads against Mandel and it's why the liberal media is so critical of him. But Josh Mandel is former U.S. Marine and he's not going to back down. INDIANA | Richard Mourdock | General: November 6 Despite the Washington establishment's claims that Tea Party conservative Richard Mourdock would be a weak candidate in the general election, Mourdock continues to lead his Democratic opponent, Joe Donnelly in the polls. And thanks to your support, Mourdock raised $1.6 million in the second quarter, which is $700,000 more than Donnelly. Mourdock has also released his first TV ad highlighting his opposition to Obamacare. This is a critical issue in this race because Joe Donnelly voted for Obamacare and continues to dodge questions about it since the Supreme Court upheld the law as a tax. Watch Obamacare . Thank you for your continued support as we head into the home stretch of this critical election. We will keep fighting. Best regards, Matt Hoskins Executive Director Senate Conservatives Fund
