Giving Dirty Harry The Vapors

When I became the Republican nominee against Harry Reid I told you that Harry Reid planned to try and "vaporize" me. That was his term, not mine. We were right. To date, Harry Reid and his allies have dumped millions into this race and most of it's gone towards attacking me on TV.

But I’m a fighter and now we’re neck and neck with Harry Reid in the polls.  With just 76 days left in the campaign and Reid spending even more money, I need your help to continue.

Reid and his buddies on the Radical Left are running the same playbook against me that they ran against Sarah Palin. The Democrats attacked her viciously, and in the same way they are ruthlessly attacking me.  Harry Reid and the Democrats are terrified by the thought of a strong Conservative woman going to Washington, and standing up to their Leftist agenda. 

That’s why they have secretly taping our meetings and events, run nasty television advertisements, and staged fake rallies against me.  Online, the liberal left has even suggested I want women raped, that I am planning to assassinate Harry Reid, and that I would like to starve our Seniors to death.

There is literally nothing they will not say to win this election.

I want you to know that this assault from Harry Reid gave our campaign a decision to make. Should we sit on our money until the end and hope for the best, or start fighting back against Harry Reid's negative attacks? I'm not one to sit around. I chose to fight back against Harry Reid’s lies.

I am happy to say that we are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars every week fighting the Harry Reid Attack Machine. That’s the good news. The bad news is that he is still outspending me by millions of dollars.

That’s why I am writing you today. I need you to help me keep fighting the radical left and their leader- Harry Reid.

I’m spending my money much earlier than expected- but it’s working. We went on TV and jumped in the polls while Reid dropped. Three straight polls have shown that we are now running neck and neck in the polls with the most powerful Senator in America.

The press has covered what we’re doing positively. National Review Online covered our new strategy extensively:

"...if you've been keeping an eye on the high-stakes Nevada Senate race, you know that Sharron Angle's campaign has been making a lot of television and web ads...

And these are not small buys for these ads; I'm told the point totals are comparable to autumn-level in most places... Angle's counter-move is gutsy: With money coming in fast, her campaign figures waiting until the fall will be too late. Team Angle is using the funds coming in now to ensure competitiveness. Judging by her jump in the Mason-Dixon poll, it's working."

Reid isn’t taking this lying down either. Since these new polls came out, Reid has stepped up the onslaught.  Just this week one of my friends told me that he saw FOUR Harry Reid commercials attacking me during an hour long TV show he was watching.

See what I mean? We are going to win, but we can't let up. I need an urgent contribution right now so I can stay on TV and keep fighting Harry Reid.

You know, it’s hard to be in a spending war with the Majority Leader.  When Harry Reid needs money, he can count on his DC lobbyist buddies unloading a dump truck full of cash on his campaign.

I can’t count on the DC special interest crowd. That’s why I'm counting on great Americans like you for a contribution of $35, $50, $100 or $250 to keep our campaign on the air.

Like I said, three straight polls have shown that what we are doing is working, but we can’t stop. I need your support. Will you help me today?

Friends, this race is important not only to Nevada, but to all Americans.  Taking down Harry Reid will be a crippling blow to the Obama Agenda. You have my word that I will go to Washington and stand firm.

Thank you in advance for helping me fight back against Harry Reid’s vicious attacks.

Sincerely,



Sharron Angle, next United States Senator from Nevada
