Dear Patriots,
You may have already seen my opponent's attack ads, which his campaign appears to be spending its every last dollar putting on network television. Something like $150,000.
The Michigan Democratic Party is airing ads, too.
That is not even the bad news.
We have just found out that the American Medical Association's PAC just spent $250,000 to vilify me and our campaign. $20,000 in polling and $230,000 in television ads.
Voters are going to be inundated with attack ads, doubtless repeating every falsehood and every exaggeration about me the opposition has ever invented.
If we cannot fight back with advertisements and mail of our own, their lies will become truth in the eyes of the voters.
Our lead in the polls may not survive these relentless ad attacks if we do not fight back with ads and mail of our own.
And we only have days left before we run out of time to put ads on TV. Your contribution has never been more urgently needed.
A TV ad spot on a cable station like CNN, Fox News, or ESPN costs about $75 per spot. On network television like NBC or CBS, one spot runs about $250.
Please consider making a generous contribution to this fight, today, by clicking here Can you sponsor one ad spot for the voters to hear our message?

We don't know what the AMA intends to say with their advertisements.
But we do know that, by spending serious money endorsing Taj, the AMA is endorsing his medical plan, which is nothing short of socialized medicine.
You see, a "single-payer" scheme means the government pays for everything. (That is, the taxpayers pay for everything--with no say in how the money is spent.)
Taj supports socialized medicine, and as we exposed weeks ago, Taj has been working with socialists, taking money from socialists. http://clicks.electionemail.com/trk...bc670c&p=81b1a84c092c754cf2fc3e14192c9a19&t=1
Apparently, the AMA has their candidate.
The AMA? Really?
I contacted some doctors from my Doctors for Kerry Bentivolio coalition for their input. One referred me to this Wahington Times article by Dr. Richard Stalling, which explained:
This long-lived and generally respected organization, one that represented more than 70 percent of American doctors in the 1960s, has become a shell of its former respectable self, now representing less that 15 percent of America’s practicing physicians. But, you say, wait - how can that be? Didn’t the AMA support President Obama’s Affordable Care Act?
Yes, it did, and as a result of that very public support and the incorrect notion that the organization still had the support of most American doctors, the act passed. The majority of American doctors were not pleased. That is an understatement...
It is estimated that the AMA takes in between $50 million and $80 million per year from licensing fees and the sale of coding books, materials and other related products. This income dwarfs the amount generated from dues-paying physician members. See the problem? The AMA is a corporation in the business of selling and protecting its Current Procedural Terminology income stream, not its doctor members. The emperor truly has no clothes, and America’s working physicians have no effective representation to counter the massive power of the federal government and the new Affordable Care Law, which will control the entire health care economy by 2014.

In other words, the AMA is fighting to defeat me, and elect Dr. Taj, because it stands to rake in millions of dollars from the government take-over of medicine that Dr. Taj is advocating.
And they don't care if they elect a hard-core socialist radical to do it.
We need your immediate support to help stop this.

Your $250 contribution can put an advertisement on major network television.
And a $75 contribution can put an advertisement on cable TV--all by itself.
Can you sponsor a television ad for Kerry? Your support will go directly to reaching the voters. http://clicks.electionemail.com/trk...69a76e&p=81b1a84c092c754cf2fc3e14192c9a19&t=1
A doctor from our coalition told me: "Many doctors have wondered if they can work within the AMA to turn it around. This is a case that shows the AMA is truly terminal and cannot be saved."
When our campaign formed the Doctors for Kerry Bentivolio coalition, we never expected the AMA to send in the "big guns" to back a socialist.
But here they come. And we must, must be ready.
Please take a moment, right now, to make a generous contribution to our campaign to bring our message of freedom and jobs to the voters in the district. http://clicks.electionemail.com/trk...9302dc&p=81b1a84c092c754cf2fc3e14192c9a19&t=1
Consider a $250 network TV ad sponsorship, or a $75 cable ad sponsorship.
Your support has never been more urgently needed.
Thanks for all that you do for Liberty,
Kerry Bentivolio
P.S. We only have a few days left to purchase TV ads before the window before Election Day closes. Please sponsor our ad campaign with a generous contribution to our campaign to bring our message of freedom and jobs to the voters in the district. http://clicks.electionemail.com/trk...7f41c2&p=81b1a84c092c754cf2fc3e14192c9a19&t=1
