FORAMERICA ENLISTMENT FORM
Dear Fellow American,
[12-2013
letter] Please check "YES" on the [requested] enclosed 2014 FORAMERICA ENLISTMENT FORM and
mail it back today in the enclosed preaddressed return envelope.
By
doing so, you will be helping make a real difference in this most crucial of Congressional
election years... and here's how and why. As you may know, I helped
lead the battle to defund ObamaCare.
As
you also know, those of us who waged this principled battle were vilified and
smeared by the Washington establishment that now hopes we have given up the
fight.
Well,
my message to the liberal Obama elitists in Congress and in the liberal media -- is this:
. . . from defunding
ObamaCare, to holding the line on amnesty, to upholding the true intent of the
Constitution, to holding the line on new spending and taxes,
. . . WE CONSTITUTIONALIST CONSERVATIVES IN
CONGRESS HAVE ONLY JUST BEGUN TO FIGHT!
In
short, we will NEVER abandon our
commitment to restoring Constitutional fidelity and fiscal order to the federal
government!
I
for one have made this pledge to my constituents in Utah and will repeat this pledge to you today:
"I came to Washington to fight for
the Constitutional principles America was founded
on and to defend our liberty and prosperity at all costs.
This means that no smear, no attack on my character
and no amount of intimidation will weaken my resolve or slow my efforts!"
Instead,
I intend to accelerate my efforts to serve my country and my home state of Utah AND continue to stay true to my conservative,
pro-liberty, pro-individual liberty convictions and principles.
I
also intend to support in any way I can others out there who are also working
hard to defend our most cherished convictions and institutions . . . and
NO group does that better than ForAmerica.
I'll
tell you more about this top-rated grassroots conservative organization in a
moment.
But
first, I hope you will join me as a
booster and supporter of ForAmerica by checking "YES" on your
[requested] 2014 FORAMERICA ENLISTMENT
FORM and speeding it back to them without delay.
Led by
my good friend, long-time conservative leader L. Brent Bozell, For
America's mission is to:
1) Educate
and reinvigorate the American people with the primary principles of American exceptionalism.
2) Reaffirm the three basic principles of
conservatism which are:
CONSERVATIVES BELIEVE IN FREEDOM.
America has been, and will continue to be, threatened by her
foreign enemies. But, for the first time since the Civil War, our freedom is
now threatened from within.
Ever since the days of FDR, the federal government has
been dangerously increasing its power at our expense. This assault on our liberty was slowed by the Reagan
Revolution, and later by the Contract with America. But since then, this march on our liberty has become
a full-fledged gallop with the wealthy and well-connected politically elite
establishment progressives controlling the federal government. In a most recent
Heritage Foundation report on worldwide freedom, America, once the undisputed leader, now ranks tenth -- and is falling!
CONSERVATIVES BELIEVE IN PROSPERITY.
America was built on the idea that if
individual citizens were allowed to keep the fruits of their labor, others
would prosper from the economy these individuals create.
But
now, the federal government is increasingly handcuffing this individual liberty
and taking control of everything from the money we make, to how we make it and
even to how we spend it. Indeed, the very idea of individual success is now presented
as negative.
CONSERVATIVES BELIEVE IN VIRTUE.
This
nation was launched with a commitment to the Judeo-Christian tradition and,
based on that premise, America became the bastion of freedom throughout the world.
In two devastating world wars, evil was defeated by good -- the United States. In the Cold War, evil again lost to the United States. Our nation has always subscribed to virtue.
Meanwhile, America fulfilled her social obligations, not by looking at
government, but by looking within. This is what a virtuous nation does. America is great not because of who we are, but because of
what we do.
Today,
in so many ways, America has become a decadent, violent, dumb-downed and often
irresponsible society -- blaming everyone for our failures. Conservatives
must now return to the ideal of a virtuous nation, addressing all those ills
that are corrupting society and causing the moral fabric of our culture to
disintegrate.
For freedom. For prosperity. For virtue.
These three basic core principles define
both conservatism and the educational mission of ForAmerica. They also
determine what policies ForAmerica
will and can support.
If a
policy or idea advances freedom, prosperity and virtue, ForAmerica will be
supportive. If it doesn't, ForAmerica
will be formally, publicly opposed.
Sounds simple, yes. But this dedication to principle is rare in Washington today. More importantly, with the very survival of
our republic in clear and present danger . . .
. . . it is the key to
pulling America back from
the progressive socialist abyss we now teeter on.
You
see, like me, ForAmerica believes
there is no more time for half-measures, retreats and phony one-sided "compromises" where the liberals win
and we lose.
Instead,
ForAmerica believes the time has come to
take a stand!
I
could not agree more because there is simply too much at stake for our country
to continue to be content with a "business as usual" mindset in Washington. For example:
** If not defunded
and repealed, ObamaCare will continue to cause health care premiums and
co-pays to skyrocket, limit health care options, lower the quality of health
care, slash Medicare to the bone and wipe out millions of jobs.
** If not halted and rolled back,
out-of-control federal spending will bankrupt the government, cripple the
economy and devalue the dollar.
** If not shrunk and limited, the
unfettered power of the federal government will continue to grow at the expense
of our individual liberty.
** If not secured and controlled, our borders
will soon be all but erased and washed away and our broken immigration system
will further break our country.
** If not reaffirmed and defended, our
traditional Judeo-Christian values will be lost at the expense of our young
people who will drown in a sea of pornography, vulgarity, gratuitous violence,
self-indulgence, entitlement and dependency.
** If not rearmed and rejuvenated, our
Armed Forces will shrink in power, capability, morale and enthusiasm.
None
of these critical issues will actually be tackled by the liberal,
pro-big-government, inside-the-beltway crowd in Washington unless they feel the heat of "We the People"
Which is why ForAmerica
is making it clear they will expose the truth about any politician who betrays
our liberty and prosperity!
Specifically, ForAmerica, through TV and
radio ads, the Internet and social media, phone calls and old-fashioned letters
and mail . . .
. . . is going to ensure that
voters in key Congressional Districts and states in 2014 know exactly where their
candidates for House and Senate office REALLY stand on the issues.
If a
politician in 2014 claims he or she respects our Constitutional liberties, but
had voted to take away our right to keep and bear arms, pray in the public
square or petition our government . . .
. . . ForAmerica
will make sure the voters know that politician can't be trusted to protect our
liberty.
And,
if a politician declares he or she is a "small
government fiscal conservative," but voted to increase federal taxes,
spending and power . . .
. . . ForAmerica
will make sure the voters know that politician is nothing but a big-government liberal in sheep's clothing.
It
is for these reasons and more that I did not hesitate for a moment when my
friend Brent Bozell asked me to write you on their behalf.
ForAmerica
is rapidly becoming THE new champion
of conservatism in the legislative and public policy arenas. It is being led,
guided and staffed by men and women with impeccable philosophical and political
credentials.
ForAmerica
is also skilled in social media and all of the new methods of reaching millions
of Americans with their conservative message.
But
most important of all, ForAmerica is determined to win.
With
this in mind, they are planning a massive national effort to reach out all
across America with their conservative message in the pivotal
election year ahead.
Specifically,
on issue after issue -- from national defense, to immigration
reform, to a commonsense "all of the
above" energy policy, to defending our traditional values . . .
. . . ForAmerica
is committed to ensuring that voters across the country know exactly where
their candidates stand.
But,
none of this will come easy or cheap.
The
pro-big-government money special interests always put their power and wants
ahead of the American people and the LAST
group these wealthy donors will be donating to is ForAmerica!
It
also means the only way we can
conduct our issue advocacy program and make an impact in the critical days and
weeks ahead is with the help of loyal,
patriotic and committed Americans like you.
I
hope you understand and that, in addition to checking "YES" on the [requested]
enclosed 2014 FORAMERICA ENLISTMENT FORM . . .
. . . I ask that you
also send ForAmerica a much-needed and most generous donation of $25, $35, $50,
$75 or $100.
If
you can afford to send as much as $250, $500, $1,000 or more, that would
greatly expand the reach and influence of For
America on the election debate trail throughout 2014. But please, at least
send a gift of $25.
Your special gift to ForAmerica today will ensure that they have the funds they need to
make certain that the American people go to the polls in 2014 armed with the
facts about those who want to represent them.
What's
more, your gift of $25 or more will help put the big-government liberal
politicians in Washington on notice that what they do NOW and in the weeks
ahead will have consequences for them in November
of 2014.
So
again, please, check "YES" on
your [requested] 2014 FORAMERICA ENLISTMENT
FORM . . . then rush it back to them today along with a most generous
and much-needed donation of $25, $35, $50, $75, $100 or more.
Thank
you. And God bless.
Sincerely,
Mike
Lee
United
States Senator
P.S. If the
Obama liberals believe they have won and that Tea Party conservatives will
simply give up or cower in the corner, they
are sadly mistaken! To the contrary, we intend to fight harder than ever
before to defund ObamaCare, roll back federal spending and power and defend our
Constitutional liberties as we go forward in the critical elections in 2014.
But to succeed, we must arm the American public with the information they need
in 2014 so that they know where
their candidates for federal office REALLY stand on the issues.
I
hope you agree -- and that you will help
ForAmerica accomplish this goal by checking "YES" on your [requested]
2014 FORAMERICA ENLISTMENT FORM
and speeding it back to them with a
special and most generous donation of $25, $35, $50, $75, $100 or more
today (FA, P.O. Box 96972, Washington,
D.C. 20090-6972).

FROM:
Dear Senator Lee,
□ YES!
Please
tell L. Brent Bozell and ForAmerica
that they can count on me and my full support between now and November of 2014.
With
our liberty, our prosperity and our very survival as a democratic republic in
doubt, there is no longer time for slave loyalty to a party label or
partisanship. From now on, conservatives MUST support only those candidates
with the courage and integrity to go to Washington and stand firm for our liberty at all costs.
I am
pleased that ForAmerica has vowed to
take on the mission of educating the public on who these current and future
conservative leaders are in 2014, and I want to help.
Therefore,
I am speeding back this ENLISTMENT FORM
to ForAmerica today along with my
much-needed and most generous, special donation of:
