Dear Friend,

America is a country that runs on ideas and action. And we need both when it comes to meeting the big issues of our time, whether it's winning the Global War on Terror, securing our borders, or working to keep America prosperous and lower our cost of living. This is why I want to thank you for your interest in this reelection campaign. Coming from a family of fourteen, my dreams never took me to Congress -- but together, we can achieve victory against terrorism, enact meaningful border security reform, keep taxes low, and make a real difference in shrinking the influence of a federal government that is too big and too loose with taxpayer dollars.

I believe America's strength is not found in Washington, D.C. It is in everyday Americans, families, small businesses and entrepreneurs. It is in America's farmers, teachers, and everyone who yearns to build a better life. What makes America strong is you. I welcome your support with open arms, and I firmly believe that together we are a powerful force that can change America for the better.
