TAKING IT BACK
Barack Obama And His Liberal Allies Tried To Silence
Us. They Failed. What I Have To Share With You Is Urgent. The Stakes For The
Future Of This Country And The Conservative Movement Have Never Been Higher.
Dear fellow patriot,
[3-2014] The
sheer arrogance with which Barack Obama is pushing his radically liberal agenda
is breathtaking. His policies are total failures and despite what the liberal
media would like to believe, Obama and his administration are growing more
unpopular by the day.
But
in Obama's world none of that matters -- because anyone who dares speak out
against him is immediately demonized. As the Chairman of SPECIAL OPERATIONS FOR
AMERICA (SOFA), I should know.
Shortly
before last year's election this organization was placed on Barack Obama's so-called
ENEMIES LIST for evoking our Constitutional
right to speak out against...
...a
corrupt administration that shamelessly used the killing of Bin Laden for
political purposes, willfully deceived America about Benghazi, lied about the scope of domestic spying programs,
and alienated our closest allies in our inept handling of foreign policy in Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Iran.
The
goal was simple -- to silence us. But as you'll soon understand, Special
Operation types don't respond very well to intimidation. Like you, I understand
that it's more imperative than ever that we have proven conservative leaders in
Washington who will never back down from doing what is right, no matter who
tries to bully them!
This is not a game. You and I are
fighting for the very survival of the nation we love.
As a
former Navy SEAL I see the damage these liberal-elites have done to our
national security. And as a fiscal conservative who understands what it takes
to make a business thrive, I know that Obama's economic policies are nothing
more than a wet blanket to our private sector.
In
life, timing is everything. And the hard truth is that our time to take
meaningful action is growing shorter by the day. SOFA's first big engagement will
be the Midterm Elections of 2014. Anything less than significant victories is unacceptable.
We
must not only take back the U.S. Senate from Harry Reid, but also elect even
more take-charge leaders who are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and fight
back against the growing tide of big government.
But this mission cannot be successful
without you!
In
addition to our private-sector economy taking repeated body blows from higher
taxes and greater government regulations, our constitutionally
"guaranteed" privacy rights are being steamrolled by an
ever-expanding government...
...And
when it comes to foreign policy, Obama's actions amount to a very sick joke. He
has pulled off what I once thought impossible -- he's actually made Jimmy
Carter appear more competent, decisive and strong.
Thankfully,
a growing number of our fellow citizens have had enough and are ready to fight
back. Today I'm counting on you to join our cause. Your help will allow us to
strike early and often. The stakes for the future of this country and the
conservative movement as a whole have never been higher.
So
are YOU ready to take a stand? Are YOU ready to put this country back on
the right path?
During
my 20+ year Navy career I served in armed combat in three different theaters.
In addition to many other challenging assignments, I served in SEAL Teams ONE,
TWO, and THREE. During my final three tours of duty prior to retirement I was
the Commanding Officer of SEAL Team THREE, Commander Naval Special Warfare Task
Group Pacific, and Commander Naval Special Boat Squadron ONE.
I
had the honor of serving with real American heroes and got to see what true
sacrifice looks like. Needless-to-say, I saw my fair share of life and death
situations. And it didn't take me long to come to understand that victory isn't
a one-man show. You need support, and lots of it.
Quick
story... As a US Navy SEAL I was taught early on that there was no room for
error. Often times you are dropping into some of the most inhospitable
territory imaginable. Your equipment must be ready to go at a moment's notice.
You must always be thinking two, sometimes three steps ahead.
In
short, there are no "do overs." You must
get it right. Why am I telling you this? Because we conservatives must bring
this same mind-set, this same dedication into our efforts to save America from the liberal onslaught that we are currently
facing.
SOFA's mission is straightforward... help elect a new generation of conservative
leaders like Mike Lee, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz who have the guts to take the
Democrats and their failed ideas head on -- with no apologies!
Unlike
many other political groups, SOFA is a "Super PAC"
meaning we can spend an unlimited amount of money helping elect a new
generation of unapologetic conservative leaders. Our only limitation is the
amount of resources we have. This is why your help is so vital.
The
list is growing, but here are three of the candidates we are helping at this
very moment...
** Commander
Ryan K. Zinke
(Ret.) is one of the most elite warriors our nation has ever produced. He
dedicated 23 years of his life to being a US Nav-y SEAL -- including
leading a SEAL TEAM SIX assault unit.
He
is now running for Montana's at-large Congressional district. Winning this
"open" Congressional seat is an absolute must.
** Republican Congressman Tom Cotton is facing off against a two-term Democrat Senator who
can be defeated as long as conservatives like you and me do our part today.
This
Harvard Law School graduate and former Army Ranger is the exact type of
conservative that President Obama and groups like MoveOn.org fear the most.
** Former
Naval Aviator and Nebraska State Treasurer, Shane Osborn, is running for Senate in Nebraska. Shane has PROVEN to be the exact type of LEADER we
need in Washington. This is another "must win" campaign if we
are going to kick Harry Reid back into the Senate's minority.
SEALs,
Rangers and other Special Operators are proven leaders in solving the most
difficult challenges under the most extreme, life and death situations. It's
long past time we start electing this same caliber of leaders to help solve our
problems in Washington.
As a
former Navy SEAL, I found it very insulting that Barack Obama kept
enthusiastically patting himself on the back in the wake of the Osama bin Laden
killing. This is political opportunism of the worst kind.
He
used our SEALs as nothing more than political ammunition to serve his own
self-serving ambitions and in the process put numerous intelligence assets in
incredible danger.
The
days and weeks ahead are crucial. My friend, if the candidates SOFA must help are going to have the
resources to overcome the blistering attacks of the entire Democrat
Establishment and have enough left over to get their message out to the
voters... Urgent and meaningful action must be taken!
This
is why I am asking you to help the ongoing efforts of Special Operations for America with a special contribution of at
least $35. If you can afford to give as much as $50, $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000
or even more, please strongly consider doing that.
In
short, SOFA is determined to defend
the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. And remember,
we only support candidates who stand firmly for the traditional values that
have made America exceptional: individual freedom, limited government
and free enterprise.
What
you do today matters big time. So please, whether it's $35, $100 or as much as
$5,000, please use the enclosed self-addressed envelope to rush back your
contribution today.
Thank
you so much for taking the time to read my letter. Now I anxiously await your
response.
Sincerely,
Gary Stubblefield
Commander, USN SEAL (Ret)
Chairman, Special Operations for America
P.S. You and
I have a golden opportunity looking us right in the face. The ground is fertile
for us to strike these opportunistic liberals hard and win back the Senate in
addition to electing other take-charge leaders who are eager to fight back
against the growing tide of corrupt, anti-freedom big government.
So
please, help out Special Operations for America with an urgent contribution of anywhere from $35 to
$5,000. This is one investment you cannot afford to let pass. Thank you (SOFA, P.O. Box 17455, Washington D.C. 20041-0455)!
