NEW YORK - PETE HOEKSTRA OF U.S. SENATE SUBJECTED TO 'RACE CARD' BY DEMOCRATS

Fellow Conservative,

Here we go again. We dared to take on Debbie Stabenow and China, and the liberals are doing what they always do—crying racism.

Yesterday we launched our new ad, "Debbie Spenditnow." The ad is only insensitive to Debbie Stabenow and her spending.

The Left and the media think you're not supposed to say that Debbie Stabenow's reckless spending has strengthened China and weakened America. You're not supposed to say that Debbie is spending our children into long-term poverty. You're not supposed to say that Debbie Stabenow's spending is a national security risk for our country. You're not supposed to say that Debbie Stabenow's spending has cost us jobs overseas.

Well I'm determined to speak the truth. We need a course correction and we need it now. If you feel the same way, please make an urgent donation today.

For nearly three years, Debbie Stabenow and President Obama have bankrupted our nation, saddling Americans with unprecedented debt and flat out refusing to do what it takes to fix our economy. It’s not just that they’ve refused to cut spending; they have actively strangled economic growth every chance they've gotten. Every single day, they weaken America with their Big Government programs, and they borrow the money from China in order to pay for it.

The Democrats will stop at nothing to change the subject from Debbie’s big spending, job killing record. That’s why she’s got her people doing what liberals always do when things get tough—calling me a racist.

As much as Debbie Stabenow tries to change the subject from her tax-raising job-killing record by attacking me, she can’t hide from what she’s done.

I intend to hold her accountable every single day until we replace her in Washington, and start replacing those jobs that Obama and Stabenow have cost us. But I need your help to do it. Will you join me?

I don't care what the establishment or the Left or the media elites think. I care about the people of Michigan getting their jobs back. People are sick of and tired of seeing their politicians weaken them here at home while sending our tax dollars abroad and benefiting China.

This is madness. And it’s over when I get to the Senate.

That's why the Democrats are so desperate to stop me. The fact is that control of the United States Senate (and possibly the White House) probably runs right through Michigan.

Harry Reid and Barack Obama know that if I win, they are not going to be running the Senate anymore. The last thing they want to see in the U.S. Senate is another conservative standing with true patriots like Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Jim DeMint.

I’m up against tens of millions of dollars in negative, dishonest attack ads attempting to destroy me. Debbie Stabenow spent $12,426,541 to win reelection six years ago. And this time around she’s already got 4 million dollars in the bank.

And don’t even get me started on the dump truck full of cash that radical left-wing groups like MoveOn, Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America and corrupt Union Bosses plan to drop on my head.

I’m going to win this Senate race, but I need your help to do it. Yesterday we took a huge first step toward doing that by holding Debbie Stabenow and Barack Obama accountable for their record.

We’re just getting started. Hope you’ll join us.

Fighting for Michigan,

Pete HoekstraConservative Republican candidate for Senate
