Dear Friend,

Last week, I announced the start of a groundbreaking campaign to raise $10,000 online in just one week's time. It's an ambitious goal, but I'm confident that with your help, we'll be able to reach it.

Please make a contribution of $250, $100, $50, or even $25 today. The second major financial deadline of the year is just three days away, and the $10,000 I raise online will be an important part of our success. Every contribution makes a difference.

Our economy is in dire straits and our spending is out of control. Just last week, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office released a report projecting our debt will be larger than the entire American economy in just ten years. With each subsequent unemployment report, it's becoming more and more clear that trillions of dollars of deficit spending and burdensome government regulations have left our economy on the verge of another recession.

The Republican-led House of Representatives is doing much to tackle these problems, but if the Democrats take back the House in 2012, all of our work is sure to be undone. I want to stay in Washington to continue fighting on behalf of families and small business owners, and by making a donation to my campaign today, you can help me do it.

Sincerely,

Congressman Pat Meehan
