From the National Democratic Senatorial Committee -- 48 hours after Election Day, 2004:
"If all the Senate Republicans were up in 2006 and comprised a dartboard, Rick Santorum
will be the bulls eye for us."
Dear ...,
There you have it in black and white. The Democratic Party has made me its No. 1 target for
defeat in 2006.
That is why I am writing you today to ask you to join SANTORUM 2006...
That's right. I'm sending out this special e-mail to a select group of Pennsylvanians
who have supported my efforts in the past. I need your immediate help today because the radical left has vowed to do all it
can and spend as much as it needs to get me out of office.
And since there will be no Presidential election it means, as the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
reported, the ultra-liberal Democrats and ultra-rich radical groups headed by George Soros and others can "focus resources
on races such as Santorum's to an unprecedented degree."
When the media talks about "resources" they mean money and volunteers. They're going
to come into Pennsylvania and try to defeat me using every trick in the book.
So I must have you working with me to stand against the Big Money leftists...
With a contribution of $50 or more today I will send you:
* An exclusive SANTORUM 2006 lapel pin ...
* A SANTORUM 2006 decal ...
* Special invitations to campaign events across the state...
I hope you will accept this invitation. Because I need your help if I'm going to win
re-election in 2006. We know we must raise nearly $20 million before Election Day, 2006. We're launching this special E-Campaign
with a goal of raising $155,750 over the next 72 hours!
You and I both learned during the course of the last election that when the radical leftists
who've hijacked the Democratic Party start making threats they quickly turn those words into deeds.
Billionaire Soros, for example, spent nearly $25 million trying to defeat not only George
W. Bush but also a host of Republicans in Senate races around the nation.
Now that the Democratic National Committee has declared me its No. 1 target for the next
election I expect Soros and others on the left, like insurance billionaire Peter Lewis, to pump millions and millions of dollars
into Pennsylvania to support whoever runs against me.
Sincerely,
Rick Santorum
United States Senator
P.S. Simply go to the SANTORUM 2006 link here and follow the directions. I spent the
past two years raising money for Republican candidates from coast to coast. Now, though, it's time for me to act and raise
funds for my race! And being the liberals No. 1 Target means I'm already way behind! ...
