John Ensign, Chairman

Dear Friend,
Our nation cannot afford to let control of the economic agenda fall into the hands of the liberal majority.

Chuck Schumer, the Democrat's election committee chairman, has declared "the Reagan philosophy is dead."

With that philosophy as a guiding principle, the Democrats tax and spend policies will grow our debt, balloon the size of the government, and paralyze small businesses that drive our economy.

Just this week Senate Democrats have proposed a budget that includes a $900 billion tax increase. We simply can't afford to allow Democrats to continue to control the United States Congress. $900 billion in new taxes will destroy our economy and impact every taxpaying American.

In fact, just weeks into the liberal majority's reign, their leadership has eliminated secret ballots for employees and passed a bill that would usher in a new era of union intimidation in the workplace. Individual workers' and employers' rights have been cast aside to award big labor their number one legislative priority just two months into the Congressional session.

Even worse ... Democrats have begun to play dangerous politics with our nation's homeland security. They recently passed legislation to unionize the Transportation Security Agency adding unnecessary bureaucratic red tape to our nation's airport safety. Their actions could cripple law enforcement's ability to react quickly in the case of an emergency all for an Election Day payback to big labor.

It makes you wonder what's coming next.

Over the next two years, my colleagues and I will work hard to slow the efforts of the liberal Democrats but, in 2008, it is critical that we regain our majority.

Our success will depend upon our building a strong grassroots network behind our candidates. In the coming weeks and months the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) will assist campaigns in identifying volunteers, polling voters, identifying supportive local leaders, beginning opposition research, etc. Necessary components for a winning campaign and a strong grassroots effort.

That is why I hope you will renew your financial support to the NRSC today. We have set a goal to raise $40,000 online by the end of March. Your participation is critical.

You can be certain my team and I will aggressively fight to put the Democrats on the defensive and keep pounding them until we expose their liberal agenda and drive them from power. To make a contribution of $25, $50, $75, $100 or even $250 today please click here: www.gopsenators.com/Contribute.

Remember we need to capture just two Democrat-held Senate seats to regain Majority control.

My team and I have refocused the NRSC's operations to be more efficient, effective and successful. We are excited about our chances and firmly believe that by rallying Republicans to support our efforts now, we can lay the foundation necessary to win on Election Day.

Again, to make a contribution of $25, $50, $75, $100 or even $250 in support of our efforts, please click here: www.gopsenators.com/Contribute. To reach our goal of raising $40,000 online by the end of March it will take the support of thousands of individuals. I hope you will be a part of our campaign team.

I look forward to working closely with you in the weeks ahead. Thank you in advance for making a firm commitment to help me in this crucial campaign.

Yours Respectfully,

Senator John Ensign
Chairman
