Anyone hear the rumor Ted Danson may run for Renzi's seat?

March 30, 2006

Dear Friend and Supporter:

At midnight tomorrow the deadline for this year's first quarter reporting period comes to a close.  I am asking you to make a secure online contribution to my campaign before that deadline becomes a reality.

As I write this, I have three different Democrat opponents running against me.  On top of that, Flagstaff's NBC affiliate reported last week that the Democratic National Committee is actively recruiting Ted Danson to run against me.  Does that name sound familiar?  It should.  It's the same Ted Danson from the television show, "Cheers."

The liberals in Washington have simply become desperate.

It seems that the Democrat Party has found their new candidate, but they had to go all the way to Hollywood to find him.

Ted Danson is one of only a handful of people who is to the political left of Ted Kennedy and Howard Dean. That's no easy accomplishment!  Ted does have a lot of "experience" in Washington.  After all, he was one of Bill and Hillary Clinton's guests in the Lincoln Bedroom, and with an agenda to the left of theirs it's no wonder the Democrat elite are begging him to run against me.

Danson's political experience is also well-documented by the amount of money he has given to the most liberal of politicians.  Since 2002, he has made contributions to Barbara Boxer ($4,000); Howard Dean ($2,000); John Edwards ($2,000); John Kerry ($1,000); and my personal favorite Paul Babbitt ($2,000) - just to name a few.  These figures do not include the tens of thousands of dollars he has given to the Democrat party, nor does it include the tens of thousands of dollars his wife, actress Mary Steenburgen, has given to liberal candidates and causes.

This recruitment should be taken very seriously.

Danson will easily be able to fund his own campaign with millions of his own dollars - not to mention the gazillions he will raise out of "Hollyweird."

That's why I need your support today more than ever.

I must send a strong message to the liberal Washington establishment that my campaign is strong and ready for anything - or anyone - they throw at me.  There is no better way to send this message than by having a huge cash-on-hand figure on my next financial report.

You have been so generous in the past.  I am counting on you to send in your most generous contribution that you can afford TODAY by going here.  We must have a strong showing on our March report if we are to make the DNC and the Hollywood left think twice about putting this congressional seat into the hands of the liberals.

Please do not delete this email.  Your contribution today of $2,000, $1,000, $500, $250, $100 or whatever you can afford could literally mean the difference in this campaign.  So, please log on to www.rickrenzi.com and make a secure online contribution today.

I cannot thank you enough for being on my team and hope you will continue your support.

Sincerely,

Rick Renzi
