First off, I want to thank you for staying involved with the Free and Strong America PAC. Your support has enabled my dad to continue being a strong voice for conservatism -- traveling and speaking out on our shared ideals and supporting Republican candidates throughout the country.

This movement isn't about my dad or any one candidate that we're supporting, however. It's about you. And we want to hear what these ideals mean to you. That’s why today I’m announcing a mini-essay contest.

The best submission will receive an all-expense paid trip for 2 to join me in the Romney family seats at Fenway Park for a Red Sox game. And four runner-ups will receive a baseball personally autographed by my dad.

How do you qualify? Simply (1) visit www.FreeStrongAmerica.com/essay for complete details and to see a special video message from my dad, (2) contribute at least $50 to my dad's PAC, and (3) email your 250-words-or-less answer to the question "What does a free and strong America mean to you?" to Essay@FreeStrongAmerica.com. The five best submissions will be featured on FreeStrongAmerica.com, and the author of the best answer, as decided by us, will win the baseball trip.

The contest ends June 24th, so get writing. It’s only 250 words. That’s fewer words than are contained in this email. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
