You Need Ben Sasse in the Senate
redstate.com ^ | 1/15/14 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 01/16/2014 9:54:59 AM PST by cotton1706

Right now you need to go to Ben Sasse’s website and give him every penny you can muster.

National Review has declared him the next big thing. He’s considered an intellectual heavyweight on healthcare. He is opposed to Obamacare and pledges to fight for its full repeal. He is a committed, pro-life conservative.

But because he is being supported by conservatives, including the Jim DeMint created Senate Conservatives Fund, the Republican Leaders in Washington, and their affiliated lobbyists, have begun helping his opponent.

Ben Sasse needs to get to Washington. He has the intellectual chops to publicly prosecute the case against Obamacare. He has the ability to publicly make the case for free market alternatives.

Folks, we need Ben Sasse in the Senate. We need to send reinforcements to the conservatives. Sasse has all the right people scared. But the Washington GOP leaders and lobbyists are lining up against him to show you that you can’t match them. They want to deprive you of this guy in Washington.

If we can’t get people like Ben Sasse elected, we will lose more than just elections. We will lose the public policy fights we should be winning.

Give every penny you can muster TODAY to Ben Sasse.

As much as I like Sasse, what he’s doing is not rocket science. It is simple, unrelenting, unqualified opposition to Obamacare.

Why is it so hard for others to do the same?

Time to contact the NRSC & tell them to butt out of primaries. Let the people pick their candidate, then do everything possible to get them elected. That’s what I just told them...

Contrary to popular opinion, the NRSC does not exist to create or maintain a republican majority, they exist to get their guys into the senate and then to keep them there. They’d prefer a democrat win over a republican if it keeps a conservative out of the senate.

See Richard Lugar’s endorsement and funding of the DEMOCRAT candidate in Georgia. They don’t want a republican majority if it means more conservatives in the senate. They want go-along types.

The reason it is so hard for others to do fight Obamacare because that would take backbone and commitment to conservative values that Mr. Sasse has.

I can attest to Ben's commentment to conservative causes. He is a principled young man and has a solid background in the HHS. He was an undersecretary in HHS under Bush.

Full Disclosure: I am a blood relative to Ben Sasse (2nd Cousin) but I urge you to review Ben's statements and positons and donate to him as you feel is appropriate.

Well then you “come from good stock”. I’ve donated to the Sasse campaign earlier and I will donate more as that become possible. I urge other conservatives to do what they can to support the candidate.

Well, three out of four isn't bad. National Review ain't what it used to be.
