RNC Money Machine

Dear Matt,

The Republican National Committee is the ONLY GOP organization allowed by federal
law to directly support our presidential nominee after the primaries are over.

With a little less than nine months remaining until Election Day, one thing is absolutely certain: Our 2008 nominee will be up against the largest, most relentless Democrat money machine in history.

Analysts expect the Democrat nominee to raise $500 million for the election -- Senator Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama each raised more than $100 million just last year.

It is critical the RNC be able to give our nominee -- whomever he might be -- the resources to compete against the Democrat money machine from Day One.

Senator Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are turning to their usual special interest allies -- Hollywood elites, Big Labor and MoveOn.org -- to fill their war chests $4,600 at a time.

Please help ensure that the RNC has the funds available to support our next Republican presidential nominee by making a secure online contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50 or $25 today.

The RNC relies on grassroots leaders like you to compete, Matt. Contrary to what the national media would have you believe, the average contribution to the RNC is $54. I am quite proud that our base of support comes from smaller donors, but I also know that means we must lay the foundation for Republican victory NOW.

With the future of our country at stake this November, time is of the essence in our drive to elect a Republican successor to President Bush. The generous support of RNC Sustaining Members like you is vital to making sure we succeed.

We need your help to stop the Democrats' plan to push America to the Left. We need your support to block their designs to take complete control of the federal government.

Your secure online contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50 or $25 today is a crucial first step in keeping the White House in Republican hands.

Please help the RNC prepare today. Thank you in advance for your continuing commitment to our Party and our cause

Best Wishes,

Robert M. "Mike" Duncan
Chairman, Republican National Committee
