Happy Birthday Joe

Dear Friends,
Today is my husband Joe’s 53rd birthday. It will be spent like most days, splitting time between his #1 priority, his family, and what he views as his duty to the people of this district - his campaign to become your next Congressman.
Through 25 years of marriage, I’ve watched Joe serve our country as a soldier and a statesman, but I’ve never seen him more committed. He knows the challenges of this campaign and he’s attacked them in the same manner he does every challenge. He analyzes the task, formulates a plan and then gives it 100%.
I’m not as politically savvy as Joe, but I know what I see across the district, and I know what I see in our home - and it is very encouraging. Night after night, Joe comes home with stories from the campaign trail. Our phone rings off the hook with well-wishers. It’s hard to go shopping with him because he barely takes a step without someone stopping him to talk about the campaign. I’ve learned a lot about politics in the past few months and one of the most important things I’ve learned is that good people are willing to step forward for a good man.
I have been so moved by the stories of military men and women and their families who have stepped forward to thank Joe for standing up for them. At a time when so many of our troops are putting their lives on the line for this nation and our way of live, it is an honor to have their support and Joe will never forget them.
I ask you now if you would join me in helping Joe stand up for our brave men and women in uniform. I can think of know more special or important gift that you can deliver to Joe on his birthday, then your commitment to help him fight for our troops and for our conservative values. He tells me his campaign needs money now, as another reporting period ends this month. As he explained to me, these early reports are an important show of strength for a campaign and there may be no more important report than this one. Please consider making a donation to the campaign and help Joe in his efforts to bring true conservative leadership back to Congress.
You can contribute right now with your credit card at Joe’s website, www.joeforcongress.com/donate or if you prefer, send a check to his campaign treasurer. (His address is listed at the bottom of this email)
Please do this today. By giving today, you would help give Joe a great birthday present and would give his campaign time to process the donations so they meet this most important campaign deadline at the end of the month.
Thanks again for all your support. It is people like you who inspire Joe to spend the long hours involved in this campaign. He tells me often that he will do all he can but he can’t do it alone. Please contribute today and send Joe a birthday present that will help in his goal of serving you as your United States Congressman. www.joeforcongress.com/donate
Thanks again for helping my husband.
