Congressional Seat up for grabs
and the CONs want it. I just received this CONservative Action Alert about the 10th Congressional District in California. Any DUers from this district? What can we do to help?

In ONE WEEK We Can Turn A Liberal Seat in Congress CONSERVATIVE -- Click Below to Help Make Phone Calls For A SPECIAL ELECTION:

ALERT: In exactly ONE WEEK, we conservatives have a chance to replace a long-time liberal seat in Congress with one of our own!

And all it will take is for YOU to make just a few phone calls to voters in a Special Election campaign... and because of expected low voter turnout, those few phone calls can WIN this election for the most conservative candidate in the race!

Next week -- September 1st, 2009 -- California's 10th Congressional District will be holding a Special Election. A liberal Democrat, Ellen Tauscher, who resigned on June 26 to become the U.S. Undersecretary of State, held this seat before. But now, we have the chance to take this seat back for conservatives!

Why do we think we can win a seat that has recently trended Democrat?

SIMPLE: This is a special election. It is being held one week from today, as voters are thinking about the end of summer, and there are few major differences between the establishment candidates running. Local newspapers are reporting that turnout is expected to be low, and they are specifically saying that the winner is likely to be the one with the strongest get-out-the-vote drive.

In fact, based on the turnout for the May 2009 California Congressional Special election, the number of votes needed to win may be as low as 6,000 votes! Gary Clift has the chance to WIN because of that -- phone calls are his biggest advantage as his main opponent, the more "moderate" David Harmer, has raised more campaign funds... but has a very understaffed phonebank and volunteer base.

YOU can help the Clift campaign take advantage of that -- by volunteering to make phone calls TODAY!

TAKE ACTION: The RightMarch.com PAC is already hard at work recruiting true conservatives to run against the Top Ten Most Vulnerable Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives next year. But we can get a "head start" on taking back the House right NOW -- if YOU are willing to make just a few phone calls!

In this fast-approaching Special Election, Gary Clift understands that the financial future of our country is at risk if the Federal Government follows California's lead. Federal government has grown too big and expenditures greatly exceed tax revenues. This cannot continue -- and Gary knows that we need to reduce federal government by cutting the waste and mismanagement. One of Gary's first actions in Congress will be to cosponsor HR 1207, which aims to audit the Federal Reserve and make government transparent with our tax dollars. This is a priority among his many issues, which include ensuring a strong national defense, supporting energy independence without the liberal "cap and trade/cap and tax" bill, voting to stop penalizing individuals and businesses for succeeding, and fighting against government-run healthcare.

YOU can make a REAL difference – THIS WEEK! Thanks to the willingness of the Democrats to vote for so many aspects of the Obama/Pelosi/Reid socialist agenda, Americans are fed up with them, and are ready to kick them out NOW -- IF there is a real choice for them to vote for!

WE need to tell them that they DO have a choice in the Special Election next week! Will you take just a little of your time this week, to make a few phone calls for the Gary Clift for Congress campaign?

The campaign will set you up with a personalized web page that will give you each name, phone number, and even a script to say when you call! IT'S THAT EASY! This is our opportunity to start taking back Congress, but this time, to fill it full of real conservatives! Please help us do that, starting with Gary Clift. Thank you!

Sincerely,

William Greene, President

All he needs is YOUR HELP in making a few phone calls -- and he can WIN this seat for conservatives! Sign up today!

You and I know why the Democrats were able to win control of Congress last year: because the Republicans lost their way and voted for more and more big government. We must not let that happen next year -- so remember, the RightMarch PAC is starting NOW to recruit and support real conservatives to kick out these liberals, starting with our RightMarch.com PAC "Top Ten" List. We've already contributed to Gary Clift's campaign for Congress -- can you help us recruit and support more strong conservatives for next year?
