Subject: Seven days until idiocy
Dear Rob,
In just seven days, the super committee is required to present a bipartisan agreement to Congress and, in what should be a shocking development, word yesterday is that they were working on a “two-part solution" or, as Rep. Xavier Becera commented, a “multi-part solution.” Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta warned that the trigger to slash defense spending by $600 billion if a deal could not be reached would lead to the smallest ground force since 1940, the smallest number of ships since 1915, and the smallest Air Force in its history! This would cripple our military right in the middle of serious global unrest!
That a “super committee” was formed with triggers that would literally cripple our ability to protect our interests around the world is unforgivable, and the direct result of failed leadership. With a gun pointed toward things as important as Medicare and Defense, this president has the audacity to go to Australia and proclaim that “this region is going to be the engine of economic growth for a long time.” This, following comments by President Obama that Americans are “a little bit lazy.”
This country is suffering from a severe lack of competent leadership, and the only solution is to force President Obama to defend his radical policies. Speaker Gingrich has the knowledge, trust, and experience to handle a foreign policy crisis abroad and a leadership crisis here at home. Speaker Gingrich is the only candidate who can claim that he has successfully dealt with the kind of serious national problems our nation is facing. Looking forward, this nation needs Speaker Gingrich to become President Gingrich.
This campaign, once left for dead, is now the talk of the nation. Clearly the American people are providing us with the momentum and resources we need to win, and we pledge to continue to run a substantive campaign of ideas. Please support Speaker Gingrich’s candidacy by making a generous contribution today. Funds raised will be used to build the political organizations necessary to secure electoral victories.
Time is of the essence with voting starting on January 3rd! It will be here in a blink and this is our chance to seize the moment! Please don’t let this opportunity to elect an experienced leader pass us by; support this campaign today!
Thank You,
Michael Krull
