Hi Everybody,
In August when the campaign ended, I promised that you would hear from me again. So as we kick off the New Year I want to recap 2010, ask for your help to put it to rest once and for all and rally your support for our shared values in the year ahead.
During the Senate campaign, we increased my name recognition in Connecticut from virtually nothing to nearly half of registered Republican voters! We also raised $2.7 million dollars in individual donations and exceeded all expectations by taking a quarter of the vote in a three-way Republican primary.
Though we did not win this time, we've ultimately paved the way for future grassroots campaigns to promote our message of liberty -- and maybe even another campaign of my own. However, any future political endeavors I might undertake will be significantly easier if I'm not almost $1 million in the hole to start, so I'm asking for your help paying back the $800,000 I loaned my campaign to compete with Linda McMahon's millions.
Please follow this link right away to make a contribution of $50, $100, $250 or even $1,000. When donating you will be able to watch a special video message I recorded for my strongest supporters. So please make your contribution right away!
Whether you can give $50 or $500, your donation -- should I consider running again -- will make me more likely to do so and more likely to win. But in the meantime, I'm focusing my attention on warning Americans about the critical economic issues that threaten our economy in 2011 and beyond. Because trust me: electing a fiscally conservative majority in one house of Congress does not mean a return to economic sanity in Washington.
There are a lot of problems that we've yet to confront in the American economy. The real U.S. economic collapse did not happen in 2008 -- it's yet to come, and 2011 could well be the year it arrives. The Federal Reserve is out of ammunition to artificially bolster the economy, though they insist the stimulus is working. But consumer and government spending do not equal economic growth -- because we're merely spending borrowed money to consume what the rest of the world produces!
The U.S. has more debt than any other country, and it's going to come back to haunt us sooner rather than later. That's why I'm focusing my energies on warning our elected officials, Wall Street CEOs, and every day Americans about the true state of the American economy, and government's role in creating and exacerbating the problem.
At some point in time, I may consider running for office again. The more money I recover of the $800,000 I loaned to finance my 2010 campaign, the more inclined I will be to give it another try, and the more likely I will have the resources to win. That's why I'm asking you to follow this link right away to make a contribution of $50, $100, $250 or even $1,000. Don't forget that when you donate any amount you will be able to watch a special video message from me.
America is counting on you and so am I.
Sincerely,
Peter Schiff
Republican U.S. Senate Candidate
P.S. The real U.S. economic collapse did not happen in 2008 -- it's yet to, and 2011 could be the year. For the time being, I am focusing my attention on warning America about the economic dangers we face. But if I ever consider running for office again in the future, I will be more likely to do so -- and win -- if I do not start out $800,000 in the hole. So please follow this link right away to make a contribution of $50, $100, $250 or even $1,000 right away to help retire the campaign debt. Don't forget that I've recorded a special video message for my strongest supporters that you will be able to view when you donate.
