Dear Orly,

I am writing to say THANK YOU. Your hard work, determination, and unwavering dedication have already made a tremendous difference in this very important election year.  Personally, I am very grateful for your continued trust and confidence in me.  Your support continues to make the difference in my campaign and I consider it an honor to carry your message to Washington.

I am also writing with some very exciting news. You may not know it yet, but the passion you have for the future of this country and the restoration of fiscal responsibility and conservative values has ignited hundreds of thousands of others just like you. For the first time in quite awhile, California is beginning to change! Just like in Washington, Democrats in California have bankrupted the state, destroyed millions of jobs, allowed public unions to run Sacramento, increased our taxes, and sent new business opportunities packing. However, thanks to you and all that you do to spread our message, Californians are waking up to the fact that we have a responsibility to take Sacramento and Washington back! It’s time for California to start sending more conservative leaders to Washington. Leaders that will join my effort to balance the budget, reform the tax code and keep taxes low, create jobs, tear down harmful red tape, and start reducing our debt immediately. And, we have the chance to do just that this year.

I am proud to introduce to you eight Californian Republicans running for seats in the House of Representatives against incumbent Democrats or against Democratic challengers. These are extremely competitive seats and we have the opportunity to take them all. However, the Democratic National Committee also knows this is true. Understanding that they are set to lose very important California seats, the DNC has already started to pour large amounts of money into these races. But, if they think that union money can hold these seats, they have another thing coming. Together, you and I can surpass their effort and show the nation that California has had enough and is prepared to start leading again. Over the next several weeks, we have the opportunity to solidify the momentum these Republican leaders have already built and push them far ahead and into victory in November!

The eight candidates that I have put my full support behind are:

Kim Dolbow Vann – CA 03
Congressman Dan Lungren – CA 07
Assemblyman David Valadao – CA 21
Abel Maldonado – CA 24
State Senator Tony Strickland – CA 26
Supervisor John Tavaglione – CA 41
Councilman Gary DeLong – CA 47
Congressman Brian Bilbray – CA 52

The California congressional delegation and I are supporting these races with our resources, time, and energy. We humbly ask that you do the same. This is an incredibly important year for this country and these are very important races. Please join in our efforts to send these candidates to Washington so we can get to work rebuilding this country.
