Do you like the new "Quick Kurt" Bills Youtube ad? If you do, join the grassroots mini-moneybomb this weekend, Fri Aug 3- Sun Aug 5, to raise money to air this ad on local TV.




Donate here.


The following message is from the Kurt Bills campaign:

Have you seen the news? Our new campaign ad "Quick Kurt" is online, and generating substantial media buzz. And those on the left are going crazy.

Why?

Because it is effective.

Won’t you help us get this ad on TV? Your contribution of $20, 50, or even $100 will help us air in local markets.

Amy Klobuchar is one of the most liberal senators in MN history, voting with Obama 95% of the time. Yet the mainstream media have portrayed her as bi-partisan. In comparing our campaign to democratic icon Paul Wellstone’s campaign – liberals are coming out to defend Klobuchar. David Wellstone defends Klobuchar saying his father’s ideals and political views are shared by Klobuchar…

…Big government political views. The left will do our work for us – reminding Minnesotans just how extreme Klobuchar’s positions are.

Your contribution of $20, 50, or $100 will help take a stand against Klobuchar’s positions. Positions of bailing out Wall Street, destroying job growth through Obamacare, and spending millions in stimulus money that simply went to big executive bonuses, and rewarded Obama’s campaign donors.

It is true Kurt and Wellstone do not align in political ideals.

But there is one thing Kurt and every Minnesotan share in common with the late Sen. Wellstone: we need leadership in Washington D.C. who will always stay true to their principles.

Sen. Wellstone did. And so will Kurt Bills.

It’s time we remind Minnesotans why they dislike career politicians. It’s time to remind Minnesotans why an economics teacher will better represent the people because he is one of them.

It’s time for Kurt Bills.

Thanks,

Jeff Lorsung
Campaign Finance Director

Here is one of Bills' primary challengers for the Republican spot on the ballot in November:



We need to get Bills some money so he can get his name out there within the next 11 days. I would hate to see him lose the primary to this yahoo...

hxxps://www.facebook.com/#!/davidcarlsonUSA

On his Facebook page he stated:


David Carlson said:
David Carlson, 30, a Marine veteran of three combat tours in Iraq, has just decided to seek the GOP nomination to oppose liberal Sen. Amy Klobucher (D-MN). State Rep. Kurt Bills won the party endorsement at the GOP convention. Bills is a prominent leader of the Ron Paul Revolution and is often described as a radical libertarian. 26 candidates for the state legislature are also Paul supporters. Carlson decided to enter the race because he did not want the GOP to nominate candidates who are to the left of Barack Obama on defense, foreign policy and trade issues. Excepts of Carlson's remarks appear below:



Over the past four years I witnessed firsthand the extremely calculated, effective and efficient takeover of the Minnesota Republican Party by diehard supporters of Congressman Ron Paul. Many of these activists are patriotic and love our country, just as do I.



However, many are also blatantly anti-military, loathing the very idea of military service, and have been openly vocal in this opposition. Seeking the GOP Senate nomination this year were two well qualified veterans, both whom would have been excellent candidates. If either of them had won the GOP endorsement, I wouldn’t be speaking to you now.



They didn’t win though. In fact, many delegates felt these veterans were greatly disrespected by the disciples of Ron Paul, Minnesota’s new kingmaker, by way of Texas. Not only were the veterans tossed to the side, but the behavior of the Paul backers was disturbing. A conservative delegate used his one minute speech to advocate support for Israel. He was appallingly booed off the stage in a shocking display of disdain and anti-Semitism. I have never seen Minnesota Republicans act this way in the past.



Ron Paul values are not Minnesota values. My opponent always describes himself as a “Kurt Bills Republican.” To know what a Kurt Bills Republican is, one must only understand the Ron Paul Republicans. It’s more than just fiscal responsibility and money bombs. Ron Paul is the only Republican in the House and Senate who opposes the 1964 Civil Rights Act. He would have done nothing about slavery, segregation or the holocaust.



President Ron Paul would look a lot like British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Under President Paul, a black veteran wanting to eat in a restaurant could be forced to leave. A restaurant owner would have the right to blatantly discriminate in Ron Paul’s America. Paul supporters believe state and individual rights trump everything. In World War II, Ron Paul says “Saving the Jews was none of our business.” The world could have been divided between Nazis, and anyone else—if we even survived, under a President Ron Paul.



Representative Kurt Bills has obtained the Republican Party endorsement because of his devotion to Ron Paul. Kurt Bills is not a veteran. He has no military experience or foreign policy experience. He advocates a budget plan that unfairly targets our military, veterans and their families. Bills advocates closing one-third of our strategic military bases around the globe. Essentially, under Kurt Bills and Ron Paul, America would be in retreat. We would create a dangerous power vacuum America’s enemies will only be too happy to fill.



Along with many other Minnesota Republicans, I feel the serious issues facing us are being minimized and dumbed down. We are told by the Paul supporters that the answer to our problems involves nothing more than high school economics.



They claim many conservatives do not understand basic economics. We are told they are going to fix all our economic woes. What we lack is leadership, and Kurt Bills is not what we need in Minnesota or the United States Senate.



I never supported the GOP endorsement process. There should be great debate and competition among our elected officials, ensuring we have the best choices for victory in November. A few thousand fringe Libertarian activists wanted to decide amongst themselves who the more than five million Minnesotans will nominate and elect. It doesn’t sound very American to me. I am not a party person. I don’t owe anyone in the Minnesota House or Senate, nor Washington D.C. I’m not owned by any Wall Street Conglomerate, union, or kingmaker.



Minnesotans want an independent senator that will keep the best interests of Minnesota families close to them when they make the critical decisions that will come to change the course of our nation for better, or for worse. I want to ensure the “shining city on the hill” my little girls receive is better than what my generation and I are receiving.



Just as we don’t need a Senator that votes with her party on 91% of everything the President says or does, we also don’t need a Republican Senator having to text Ron Paul from the Senate floor when he needs guidance. We deserve leaders who actually stand for something, and I hope to earn the people of Minnesota’s trust and confidence, that if sent to Washington, I promise to do all I can to accomplish the policies that will lead our state and country forward.

It looks like Kurt's Primary opponent has no shame and will stoop down to any level. Hopefully we can counter this slime-ball.
 
I think you guys are a little behind regarding the primary. As far as I know, Kurt already won the primary or is running uncontested because all his opponents dropped out after he won the state party's official endorsement.

He won the primary. The moneybomb is for the general election.

OK, I thought this other guy was running a write-in campaign or something. So there is no Primary on Aug 14?

Edit: All of the links I have found indicate there is a Primary.

Of course any money donated right now will still go to running Kurt's ad and his current campaign. Defeating Amy Klobuchar is the grand prize here anyway. It can happen in this race, it's by no means a done deal.

This page says that there is a Primary on Aug 14th, and there are multiple candidates:

Kurt won the endorsement of the Republican Party, but two jack-asses decided to file and run for the Republican Party slot on the General Election ballot, which forced Bills into a primary. He should win, but it's not a given.

We are putting a lot of worry into Kerry Bentivolio having a write-in Primary opponent, and here the neo-conservatives have sneaked a candidate onto the actual ballot against Bills!

Hopefully he has enough money to air his ad. Can't believe his war-mongering Primary opponent has been airing that anti-Ron Paul ad on Fox.
