MASSACHUSETTS - SEAN BIELAT FOR U.S. SENATE - CONSERVATIVE THROUGH AND THROUGH

Dear Fellow American, 

Thank God it's not Barney Frank! 

We dodged a bullet recently when Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick ignored Barney Frank's pleas to be named interim U.S. Senator after John Kerry was sworn in as Secretary of State. But we're not out of the woods yet. 

Believe it or not, Rep. Ed Markey, the Democrats' likely nominee in the special election, is even more radical than Barney Frank! And I don't have to tell you the last thing we need is another radical liberal ideologue in the U.S. Senate. 

The good news is that we can prevent Ed Markey from getting to the U.S. Senate, but I need your help. You see, to get on the special election ballot, candidates need to submit 10,000 valid signatures from registered voters by 5:00 PM on February 27. The Democrats are hoping in vain that it can't be done and that we won't have enough time. Collecting signatures sounds simple, but Massachusetts law makes it nearly impossible to succeed without hiring a professional signature collecting firm. That takes a lot of resources. 

Our goal is to raise $150,000 by midnight tonight to secure the resources we need to make sure we elect the right person to the Senate. And I'm counting on you.
