Attn: Julianne Ortman

My Conservative Friend,
The
first thing you should know is that I'm
running against Al Franken in the Minnesota race for U.S. Senate. And the second thing is that I need your help. Will
you help me beat Al Franken?
If
you'll give me just 2 minutes of your time I'll explain:
1. Why I'm
running against Al Franken,
2. Why he's
so vulnerable for defeat, and
3. What you
can do to help me beat him.
I
know you're busy, so let me get straight to the point: Why I'm running against
Al Franken:
It's
not because Franken was the 60th and
deciding vote for Obamacare. Which
he was.
It's
not because Franken is ranked as the 3rd
most liberal Senator by National Journal, and darling of the liberal establishment
in Hollywood, New
York, and Washington, DC. Which he so clearly is.
And
it's not because Franken "won"
the 2008 election when claims are that 1,099 illegal felons voted in a contest decided
by 312 votes. Which he did.
No,
at the heart of it, I'm running because Al
Franken took an oath --- an oath to defend the U. S.
Constitution --- and he has failed to keep that oath time and time and time again.
And
--- as a result of his failure --- I fear that America is heading down the road to a Constitutional crisis. We've
got an Executive Branch run wild and a Legislative Branch too weak or too
scared to exercise "checks and balances."
It's
no coincidence Al Franken entered the
Senate the same year President Obama entered the White House. And they've
been as "thick as thieves" ever since. Here's what I mean:
*** President Obama callously ignores the law, rules by
executive order, and hands out exemptions to his cronies...
And what does Al Franken do?
*** President
Obama uses the IRS to target his political enemies, his National Park
Service to disrespect wheelchair-bound veterans visiting their WWII memorial, and
his NSA to conduct blanket surveillance of our phones and emails...
And what does Al Franken do?
*** And President
Obama heaps $7 trillion onto the national debt --- borrowing $0.46 of every
$1.00 the government spends --- while federal healthcare mandates are turning America into a "part-time" economy.
And what does Al Franken do?
Not
a single thing. He's a rubberstamp and an accomplice to the
destruction of our America.
The truth is Al Franken cannot be
bothered to uphold his oath to defend the Constitution if it clashes in any way with the Obama agenda.
That's why I'm running against him.
And
that brings me to my second point:
Why
Al Franken is so vulnerable for defeat:
As I
mentioned, Al Franken "won" by only 312 votes in 2008, and it's
believed 1,099 illegal felons voted in that election. All told, Al Franken received
only 42% of the vote. That means 58% of Minnesotans never voted for Franken.
And
that's why Franken has tried so hard to lay low and avoid the media spotlight
in Washington --- a vast departure from his brand as a shock comedian, liberal
radio host, and author of in-your-face books like "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big
Fat Idiot."
He's
desperate to hide his real views from voters here. But what he can't hide is
his extreme voting record in the Senate --- ranked #3 most liberal by National
Journal.
I'm
exposing that record. I'm exposing Franken's record and I'm offering voters a
real alternative --- a conservative who stands for the Constitution. And that
makes me Al Franken's biggest threat.
My name is Julianne Ortman.
I'm a State Senator from Chanhassen, Minnesota. During my 12 years of service, I was the Deputy
Majority Leader in the first Republican Minnesota Senate in 38 years, and I
became the first woman to chair the Senate Tax Committee. I successfully led
the effort to balance Minnesota's $5 billion budget deficit, without raising even $1
in new taxes.
I'm also a wife of 24 years and proud
mom (with a brave son in the U.S.
Army, and two more sons and a daughter). And I can tell you, the more folks
here learn about what Al Franken has been up to in Washington for the last 5 years, the more they want him gone. Make
no mistake, Al Franken is vulnerable for defeat.
And
that brings me to... What you can do to help me defeat Al Franken:
It's
simple. I need you to join my campaign team today. All I ask is that you rush
me your signed "DEFEAT AL FRANKEN" reply and a one-time gift of $35 in the next 72
hours.
Al
Franken is raising millions of dollars from his pals in Hollywood and New York.
To
counter Franken's fundraising machine, I'm assembling a team of grassroots
conservatives in Minnesota and across America. And I'm relying on hundreds-of-thousands of
conservatives to pitch in what they can --- whether it's $35, $50, $75, $125,
or even $500 --- to defeat Al Franken.
Will
you stand with me?
Minnesotans
are fed up. And so are folks across America. They want a senator who will stand up against the abuses
of power we've seen over the last five years. They want a senator who will
fight for the Constitution. That's exactly what I intend to do. And that's why
I need you on my Ortman for Senate campaign team.
So
whether you can send $35 or $500 or more, please respond right away. The 2014
midterms, and our shot to defeat Franken, will be here in a snap. Please don't
delay --- thank you!
Sincerely,
Julianne Ortman
P.S. Can I count on you to
help me defeat Al Franken? I need your help to stop Al Franken and Barack Obama
from pushing America further down the path to a constitutional crisis.
It's time to stand up for liberty and for the Constitution. Will you stand with
me by rushing me your "DEFEAT AL FRANKEN" reply and your urgent gift
of $35 or more in the next 72 hours (Julianne Ortman, P.O. Box 218, Chaska, MN 55318-0218)?
Thank you for joining me in this vital
campaign to defeat Al Franklin!
