$90,000 Raised to Combat Attacks on Conservatives

Thanks to the generous support of freedom-loving Americans like you, SCF raised $90,000 last week to combat the attacks made by the American Action Network(AAN) on U.S. Representatives Jim Bridenstine (R-OK), Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), and Jim Jordan (R-OH) for fighting to defund the president’s executive amnesty.

The $90,000 raised exceeds the roughly $51,000 AAN spent on TV against them.

This is very important.

The Republican establishment in Washington is used to getting lawmakers to support their liberal deals by offering them earmarks or campaign funds.

But now, thanks to the support of grassroots conservatives like you, earmarks have been essentially eliminated and conservatives have other ways to raise money.

Conservative lawmakers are now better positioned to fight for their principles!

These TV attacks were designed to hurt these three congressmen and intimidate other conservatives, but they backfired.

Voters in these districts were appalled by the misleading ads and now these congressmen have money to get their message out.

Here’s what the congressmen had to say about it:

“A pro-amnesty, establishment-led political machine is trying to silence conservatives, but we will not abandon the Constitution and give up the fight to stop Obama’s unlawful acts,” said Rep. Jim Bridenstine. “I’m grateful to the grassroots members of the Senate Conservatives Fund for standing with me in this fight. A lot of people say they have your back, but SCF means it.”

“If pro-amnesty groups want to come after me for standing up to the President’s unlawful actions, they can certainly do that. But the American people will see through it,” said Rep. Jim Jordan. “I’ve received overwhelming support from people in my district and the Senate Conservatives Fund has helped me raise support from people in Ohio and across the country to counter these attacks.”

“American Action Network is not attacking President Obama or his unlawful actions; they’re attacking those of us that are standing up for the Constitution,” said Rep. Tim Huelskamp. “What they don’t realize is their efforts only strengthen the conservative grassroots. The establishment has attacked me and tried to cut off my fundraising, but it’s backfired. People in my district are even more supportive now of my efforts and groups like SCF have helped me raise money to get my message out.”

Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and his allies may think they can use these attack ads to defeat these congressmen in a future primary, but they’re wrong.

The grassroots in this country are more organized than ever before and are working together through groups like SCF to elect people who will fight for their principles.

Thank you for supporting these three congressmen and for taking a stand against the GOP establishment’s attacks on them. Your efforts made a difference.

Sincerely,

Ken Cuccinelli II
