Thank you

This is a quick note to thank you for your support for the Free and Strong America PAC – it made a real difference in the elections. First, it enabled me to travel across the country to campaign, build media and raise funds for Republicans in battleground contests. All totaled, I did events for 33 Republican candidates running for federal office. Your support also helped me in my effort for Senator McCain and Governor Palin – I participated in 37 surrogate events around the country for their election.

In addition, your support permitted the PAC to make financial contributions to over 150 contests at the federal and state level, again on behalf of people and groups who we believe will help keep our country strong and free. We were highly gratified that in these races where we provided financial support we were largely victorious, with a 60 percent win rate.

There is still unfinished business from the 2008 election. We are currently working to help Senator Norm Coleman in the Minnesota recount and Senator Saxby Chambliss in his runoff election in Georgia – it is critical that we retain the ability to filibuster in order to prevent a liberal reconstruction of our nation.

I want you to know how much I appreciate all you have done to help. It means a great deal to Ann and me, and we believe that it means a great deal to the country as well. Like you, we are very concerned about the direction the nation may take under an Obama administration and a liberal Congress. The work we have done, thanks to you, has kept the conservative flame burning.

The PAC will continue to work for a free and strong nation. During the coming year, I will travel, campaign, appear in media interviews, raise funds, write, blog and do everything I can imagine to stand up for what we believe. I consider it a privilege to have you on our team.

Statement on the Presidential Election

I want to congratulate Senator Barack Obama on his remarkable achievement. It may have been late in coming, but the election of the first African-American president will stand as a testament to our nation’s founding principle that ‘all men are created equal.’ I also want to extend my best wishes to his wife, Michelle, and two young daughters, as they embark on a new and exciting chapter for their family and our nation. We are all Americans first, standing above party and politics. It’s time to call on the good will of people everywhere to help our president-elect address the pressing needs of the nation.

John McCain is a decent and honorable man. He, too, will go down in history as a statesman and a patriot. I am proud to call him my friend. He carried the banner of the Republican Party in a politically challenging year. I look forward to working with Senator McCain, Governor Palin and many other Republican leaders in rebuilding the party nationally so that it can once again contribute to the great strength of our country. Together we can meet the challenges of a new century and leave our children and grandchildren with an America that is as strong and free as the one we know.
