Dear Fellow Conservatives:
The new year has begun and the Senate Conservatives Fund is ready to do everything it takes to elect more principled leaders to the United States Senate.
Thanks to your support over the past two years, five of the candidates we endorsed in 2010 will be sworn into office tomorrow. Unlike many politicians in Washington, these leaders won't just take an oath to support and defend the Constitution, they will mean it.
Senators-elect Pat Toomey (PA), Marco Rubio (FL), Rand Paul (KY), Mike Lee (UT), and Ron Johnson (WI) are genuine leaders who will stand up to the big spenders in both political parties. No politician is perfect, but these men are deeply committed to our founding principles and they will fight to put the brakes on President Obama's radical agenda.
Over the next few months, I will keep you updated on the major legislative battles taking place in the Senate so you can take action to encourage your senators to fight for less government and more freedom.
I will also share information with you about the key 2012 Senate races taking place across the country so you can support the best candidates in the nation.
Change in Washington means changing the people we send there. That's why I started the Senate Conservatives Fund. We don't endorse incumbents and we don't support wishy-washy politicians who are Republicans in name only (RINOs). We work to elect new leaders who are committed to join the fight, not the Senate club.
Support the Senate Conservatives Fund
As you know, the Senate Conservatives Fund is powered by thousands of freedom-loving Americans from every corner of the country. Our grassroots members are teachers, truck drivers, military personnel, stay-at-home moms, and retirees who want to save their country.
Together, SCF supporters contributed over $9 million in the past two years to help principled candidates. It's a remarkable achievement that speaks to the dedication and patriotism of our members.
I believe we can build on these victories over the next two years and elect several more conservative standouts to the Senate in 2012. But we need your help.
I'm writing to ask you to support the Senate Conservatives Fund in 2011.
First, we need your financial support so we can build up a war chest that can be used to inform voters and win races. We are launching a new feature on our website today that allows you sign up to make automatic monthly donations to the Senate Conservatives Fund.
I hope you will take advantage of this important tool. Anyone who signs up to make automatic monthly donations in January will be invited to join our first conference call in early February to discuss strategy for the 2012 Senate races.

Second, we need your help recruiting new members. We currently have over 230,000 members but we need to grow this number substantially over the next few months in order to have the manpower to win these critical races. Folks can join our team at http://senateconservatives.com.
Third, we need your prayers. Some of the candidates who will run this election cycle have already announced their candidacy. Others are considering whether they should put their families through the gridiron of national politics. These folks are real people who need clarity of purpose and wisdom as they make these life-changing decisions. I would also appreciate your prayers as I interview and help select candidates for our endorsement.
After watching what happened over the past two years, I am confident we can take our country back. Americans don't like the policies being forced on them by President Obama and they are determined to do something about it.
We've seen an American awakening as freedom-loving people rise up to fight for those things that make our country exceptional -- limited government, a strong national defense, and traditional family values.
I know there are many causes competing for your time and resources, but I hope you understand the unique importance of the United States Senate. The Founders designed the Senate to slow and modify legislation. Unfortunately, almost every bill passed by Congress grows our government and erodes our freedoms. This is why we need a strong group of conservatives in the Senate who will say "no" to those things that go beyond the congressional powers enumerated in our Constitution.
Please join me in the fight for our future. Please support the Senate Conservatives Fund today. Together, we can build on our gains in 2010 and secure America's future.
Respectfully,
Jim DeMint United States Senator Chairman, Senate Conservatives Fund
Certainly this must be an ongoing exercise, to add conservatives to the House and Senate with each election cycle.
But turning our nation toward the living God is better.
I agree!
He is the perfect alternative to that squishy a$$ed RINO, John Cornyn and the NRSC.
I fully support Jim DeMint.
I gave $$$ only to his candidates this cycle, and very glad that I did so.
None for me, thanks.
I’ve donated to conservative candidates in the past; only to see them “grow” after a few years in office.
Same here. I do all I can to bring people to conservative thinking, but I draw the line at spreading moolah on politicians. I don’t even buy their books. No matter who they are, they don’t make a decent return on money.
There were six Democratic incumbents in North Carolina in 2010. The NRCC supported five and told Renee Ellmers they weren't supporting her because she and her team “weren't ready for prime time.” All Renee had was an underfunded campaign, Tea Party support and an endorsement from Sarah Palin.
Renee “fought like a girl” and won while the five party-backed candidates went down in flames.
lol. I love this. John Cornyn is going to hate this, lol!!!!
I missed that story. That is pretty cool.
Jim DeMint is the best. He understands that we are in a war for the survival of our way of life.
I would love it if the Fund was used to oust Cornyn when he runs again in 2014. We Texans deserve two Senators like DeMint. Instead, we have Lindsey Grahamnesty types.

This is one worth supporting.
It is my mission to see Cornyn primaried in time for the 2014 election.
Let’s make it happen, since you are right. We Texans do deserve better the Cornyn or KBH.
I’m joining and contributing. Thanks for posting it.

All BS. The only way to keep the Republican party successful is as a viable whipping post for the media and the Dems. Please!!! our only hope of getting Matt Liar to listen is to keep supporting our detestable Rinos. I’ve been involved in politics now for 30 years and I guarantee, you will be ignorned in the MSM unless you are a knee bound boot licker of the demonsh!t party and the LSM. The LSM/MSM that has propped it up.
So! Please take my advise and let us all continue to support that which betrays and coddles us in the name of “bipartisanship”, however one sided.
Warning: this post may be sarcastic due to the late hour, and abundance of Dewars.
I gave money to these candidates through this fund before the election. I think I’ll drop a few dollars into the fund from time to time.
Thanks listenhillary.
