Dear Conservative,
If you're like me, you were both stunned and
pleased to see Mitt Romney choose a running mate as bold and
conservative as Paul Ryan.
Paul Ryan is one of the leading
lights in the
conservative movement and has done great service for our cause.
Now the real battle begins. We know exactly what the Radical
Left has in store for Paul Ryan--they'll do exactly what they did to
Sarah
Palin.
The Left (aided by the Liberal Media) will throw
everything but the kitchen sink at Paul Ryan
in the most relentless, vicious,
personal way possible. They will try to smear his name, his family, and
his record in order to strangle his candidacy before it gets off the
ground.
We can't let that happen. Not this time.
We need your
help.
You remember what they did to Sarah Palin: trying to
find everything they could on her, attacking her family, calling her
the most vile names imaginable,
even questioning if she was the
mother of her
own child.
If you don't think the same thing is being planned for Paul Ryan even
as we speak, well, you're in for a big surprise on Monday.
.
.
The liberal group
Act Blue has already launched a "Stop Paul
Ryan" fund dedicated to running ads smearing Ryan's record.
And the Obama campaign has been putting out assaults on Ryan all
weekend,
accusing him of not caring about women. And trust me, they've got a lot
more bile where that came from.
Here's the thing--
we shouldn't be surprised by any of this.
Whether
you're talking about Dan Quayle,
Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas, or Sarah Palin, this is what the Left
always does to conservatives when they appear on the scene!
Here at
DefendPaulRyan.com, we are committed to fighting
back. Our plan is
to run TV and online ads in battleground states where funds allow,
introducing Paul Ryan on OUR terms, not on the Democrats' terms
or
those of their buddies in the liberal media.
We will respond to every single charge with
FACTS,
we will disseminate the truth to a growing email list, and we will run
the online and TV ads in battleground states where funds allow.
We are not just going to sit around and watch another
conservative get slimed while we sit idly by, wringing our
hands like there's
nothing we can do.
There is A LOT that we can do to fight back. Donate $35, $50, or even $100 right now to
join
us.
I don’t know about you, but I swelled with pride yesterday
when Paul Ryan walked out on the deck of that aircraft carrier and told
his story.
That’s what a leader looks like, and that’s
what the American people are looking for. Barack Obama and the
Democrats do not have a record that they can run on, and they know it.
The
only way for them to win up to this point has been to smear Romney, and
now Paul Ryan.
That cannot be allowed.
We must defend this good man.
Just
so you know, I've been a mayor, an ambassador, a HUD undersecretary
under Jack Kemp, State Treasurer, Ohio Secretary of State and a
successful businessman, author and educator. I’ve been through a lot of
campaigns.
I know exactly what’s coming for Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney.
We
cannot sit back and wait for the Left to attack.
The time to act is now.
I’m ready to go to battle.
Will you join me?
Sincerely,
Ken Blackwell
Chairman,
