Read the following email:
To: Rob Wallace
From: Jon Cook For Congress
Hi Rob,
You know I’m not the type to whine about the lame political attacks but there was a line in my opponent’s latest ad that I can’t let go – when he attacked the people who contribute to my campaign. Good people. People like you.
I’m proud to say that the majority of my support comes from small-dollar donations. Not from special interests like Big Pharma, the oil industries, or Wall Street fat cats. I believe government should serve the needs of citizens, not corporations.
My opponent is running scared and it shows, but I still need your help to get our message out. Please, join the 847 supporters who have already chipped in this week to FLIP DISTRICT 4!
Thanks Rob. Together, we win!
Jon
