I just got this in my e-mail blah, I have never subscribe to them either.

Dear Fellow American:


I am really angry.

Congress is on the verge of voting to enact President Barack Obama's nearly $1 trillion spending bill, a so-called "stimulus" plan.

We were close to defeating this outrageous plan.

But then three traitorous Republican senators broke ranks to back Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Harry Reid, and the Democrats.

Who are they? Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine.

These three senators have betrayed not only their colleagues but also the basic principles of the Republican Party, including a fiscally sound government.

Collins claimed she voted for the bill after cutting out "fat" — a ridiculous statement, because the Senate proposal she backed will cost at least $8 billion more than the House's pork-laden $819 billion plan.

And Specter said the country needs a stimulus, so he is throwing out all good sense to vote for Obama's plan.

We agree that the economy needs stimulus — real stimulus such as tax cuts — not hundreds of billions in political payoffs to Democratic constituencies.

Consider that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has stated the Obama plan will actually hurt the economy — and that less than 20 percent of the "stimulus" will even spent in the next year.

How is this an immediate stimulus, Sen. Specter?

Help us expose Sen. Specter — Go Here Now.

Defeat RINOs Like Specter

The truth is that these three liberal Republicans are RINOS — Republicans in Name Only who — are notorious for siding with the Democrats when important legislation comes up for a vote.

They rely on their belief that many constituents have short memories when it comes time to vote.

But we don't have a short memory.

We at The National Republican Trust PAC will pledge maximum financial support to any Republican who challenges these three senators in a Republican primary.

Arlen Specter is particularly vulnerable.

He is up for election in 2010. He almost lost a close Republican primary in 2004.

He will go down to defeat in 2010 — if we have any say in the matter.

You can help us expose RINOs like Specter — Go Here Now.

Ad Campaign Will Shock Senators

We at The National Republican Trust believe it is time to hold Republicans accountable when they support Democratic policies that are bad for America.

For far too long we have allowed GOP politicians to run as Republicans and vote like Democrats.

We at The National Republican Trust say "no more." No more to betrayal. No more to fifth columnists in the party.

We need to expose liberal Republicans like Specter, Snowe, and Collins.

In the coming days, The National Republican Trust PAC will roll out radio ads exposing Specter, Collins, and Snowe in their home states.

We will also be targeting conservative Democrats who voted for the Obama pork plan.

It is critically important that we do this, because Obama is planning to push through in the coming weeks for programs like socialized healthcare, reducing our military strength — even legalizing millions of illegal aliens.

You can help us today — Go Here Now.

Obama promised the most liberal administration in history. It is clear he wants to fulfill this promise.

We can stop him. But it will take real effort and hard work.

We at The National Republican Trust are willing to put in the sweat and tears.

We need your financial support to continue this effort.

Help us today — Go Here Now.

If you want to send a message to GOP traitors like Arlen Specter — donate to us today.

Believe me, he and other liberals will get the message as we blanket their states with hard-hitting ads exposing their support for Obama's radical agenda.

It is time to elect conservatives who will represent the interests of Americans.

Those of us who were forced to watch in pain as liberal Republicans defected to support Democrats now have an outlet for our frustrations.

By supporting The National Republican Trust, you know your donation will be used to punish those RINOs who have sold us out time and time again.

Show your support for us — Go Here Now.

Thank you.

Yours for America,

Scott Wheeler
Executive Director

P.S. Please remember the stimulus bill is just the first skirmish in a long battle with the liberals in Congress and the Obama White House. They have already admitted planning the most liberal legislative agenda in history. We must stop them. We need to rebuild the GOP to do it. Help us today. Time is of the essence. Go Here Now
