Christmas present to the nation and a petition
Christmas is considered a time of giving. After all the giving to family, friends, and self, we the people have an opportunity to give one more gift to the nation before the end of the year. If you haven’t given the limit to each of the following conservative PACS (Political Action Committee) consider doing so before the end of the year. To continue our efforts to Take Back the Nation, these PACS need money as the fuel to spread our message and getting conservative candidates elected. We did well in 2010. We can and MUST do better in 2012. Now is not the time to relax. We are involved in a marathon battle to Take Back the Nation! Keep INVOLVED!

SCF is a political action committee dedicated to electing strong conservatives to the United States Senate. We do not support liberal Republicans and we are not affiliated with the Republican Party or any of its campaign committees.
SCF seeks to bring bold conservative leadership to Washington by supporting only the most principled candidates nationwide—candidates who believe in the timeless conservative principles of limited government, strong national defense, and traditional family values.
We helped elect five conservative standouts in the 2010 election cycle—Pat Toomey (PA), Marco Rubio (FL), Rand Paul (KY), Mike Lee (UT), and Ron Johnson (WI). We did it by making direct contributions to these candidates, bundling contributions from donors across the country, and educating voters on key issues.
Stop Spending
Congress must be forced to cut spending. SCF candidates will support a constitutional amendment to balance the federal budget without raising taxes.
Repeal ObamaCare
President Obama’s health care takeover is set to destroy American medicine and bankrupt our country. SCF candidates will repeal it.
Enforce Immigration
The federal government has failed to enforce our nation’s immigration laws. SCF candidates will seal the borders and oppose all forms of amnesty.
Defend 2nd Amendment
The 2nd Amendment protects our ability to keep and bear arms. SCF candidates will oppose all efforts to eliminate or restrict this right.
Ban Bailouts
Bailouts force taxpayers to reward failure and punish success. SCF candidates will stop bailouts altogether and force corporations to compete.
End Earmarks
Congressional earmarks are a gateway drug to higher spending. SCF candidates will ban earmarks and break Washington’s addiction to pork.
Protect Life
Human life is precious and it must be protected. SCF candidates will stop all taxpayer funding for abortion.
Adopt Term Limits
Our country is being destroyed by career politicians. SCF candidates will support a constitutional amendment establishing congressional term limits.
(This is the major issue of those listed with which I don’t agree. I plan to post on term limits at a later date—my addition)
SCF has over 250,000 members nationwide and is in a strong position to support conservative candidates in 2012. SCF members come from every state and from all walks of life. They love America and have decided to take positive action to take back their country.
SCF is chaired by U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina).

As a leader on key issues, Michele is frequently asked to travel around the country to speak, endorse and raise funds for conservative Republican campaigns. As a member of the team focused on ending the reign of Nancy Pelosi and the liberal majority, she is doing her part. So, in August 2010, she founded MichelePAC to provide direct and indirect support to conservative candidates nationwide. Because it is not connected in any way to Bachmann for Congress, MichelePAC can provide this crucial financial support without draining her own campaign resources. And we’ve set some ambitious goals: with your help, MichelePAC will ultimately help retire Nancy Pelosi as Speaker.

“Dear Friend,
In just weeks, Congress will be forced to make a no-win decision.
Thanks to the $858 billion tax cut package President Obama signed into law last week, America moved one large step closer to reaching the $14.3 trillion federal debt ceiling (raised from $12.4 trillion last February) which forces the new Congress to increase the amount of money the government can borrow or default on our loans.
Unfortunately, Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle are afraid to stand up and call for the one solution to our nation’s debt crisis: freeze all spending and cut the fat out of the budget.
With national debt $13.8 trillion and counting, Congress’ spending frenzy cannot continue. It’s time to force our elected officials to stop spending cold turkey, and we can start by making sure they do not raise the debt ceiling.
That’s why I'm asking you to personally tell Congress not to increase the amount of money the government can borrow by signing your name to the "Don't Raise the Debt Ceiling" petition.
http://michelepac.com/debtceiling/?initiativekey=IKAJSK47YKI6&tag=DebtCeilingsaber
I’m challenging conservative activists to collect at least 25,000 in the next week to give Members of Congress something to think about over Christmas recess. Please follow this link to sign the petition today.
http://michelepac.com/debtceiling/?initiativekey=IKAJSK47YKI6&tag=DebtCeilingsaber
After signing the petition I hope you will consider making a contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250 or whatever you can afford to enable MICHELE-PAC to continue working to elect a true constitutional conservative majority.
Speaker-elect Boehner has already vowed to begin cutting $100 billion out of the budgets of federal agencies as soon as the new Congress is seated, but it’s not enough! We must stay true to our constitutional conservative values and take away the tool Congress uses to spend more—the ability to raise the debt ceiling.
Think about the consequences of even higher national debt: higher taxes, less jobs, more free handouts. Make sure Congress knows where you stand on the issue by following this link
http://michelepac.com/debtceiling/?initiativekey=IKAJSK47YKI6&tag=DebtCeilingsaber
to add your name to the ‘Don’t Raise the Debt Ceiling’ petition.
We cannot begin to repair the damage Congress’ spending spree has inflicted on our nation by ending it once and for all. That’s why I’m reaching out to you today. I can’t do this alone—I need to you know that you stand with me. So I hope I can count on you to stay true to our conservative values by adding your name to the ‘Don’t Raise the Debt Ceiling’ petition.
If we are able to prevent Congress from raising the debt ceiling—and begin cutting down the budget—we will be able to get our economy back on track. So please sign the petition today!
Sincerely,
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann
P.S. In just a few weeks Congress will be faced with a difficult decision: increase the federal debt ceiling, default on our loans, or cut spending. Make sure Congress knows where you stand on this issue by adding your name to the "Don’t Raise the Debt Ceiling" petition today. After, I hope you will make a generous contribution to help MICHELE-PAC keep fighting for a true constitutional conservative majority.

“Dear Patriot,
We here at the Western Representation PAC hope that all of you have a merry Christmas and a happy and successful new year! Just one week after the election the WRPAC family grew as we welcomed Abigail Stockton into the world. There is no truth to the rumor that she organized her first Tea Party in the nursery just after birth.
What a year 2010 has been! Thanks to your support, WRPAC has become one of the largest and fastest growing conservative action groups in the nation. We fought establishment politicians from both parties and helped secure victories in key races across the country.
These victories are key in implementing the first step in our plan to lead America back to the ideals of liberty! Our goal of removing every politician who neglects the fact that they were elected to work for ‘We the People’ is stronger than ever. We want to share with you some of our action items when the new Congress takes over in January.
Step #1: Stop Barack Obama and the Progressive Democrats from advancing their liberal agenda.
Step #2: Start turning back the big government policies implemented by Democrats and Republicans over the last decade. We must demand that the new House of Representatives defund Obamacare. We will also assist the courageous state Attorney Generals legally challenging the unconstitutional law.
Step #3: Defeat Barack Obama and give conservatives control of the Senate.
Step #4: Demand the systematic dismantling of the federal bureaucracy, empowering state and local governments to take control of their communities.
(I hope to provide my own specific list in a future post—my addition.)
To advance our agenda we must continue to rapidly grow. We are fighting against liberal organizations and big labor unions with millions of members and giant war chests.
Thousands of you made contributions, tens of thousands more volunteered their time and energy to help us reach this point. We need to find more patriots like you so that we can advance our shared conservative agenda! Help us reach more like minded patriots by forwarding this email to everyone you know.
We are putting together the infrastructure to reach more patriots through both traditional and new mediums. We are restructuring our organization, our websites, our presence on social media and negotiating deals to create a much larger presence on traditional media.
We still need your help. To fully fund our transition we need to raise $25,000 by January 15th. You can help us grow by making a contribution of $10, $25, $50, or more by clicking ---HERE---

4) Our Country Deserves Better PAC
When Barack Obama won the presidential campaign of 2008 along with sizable Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, we knew things were going to get worse for America. We just didn’t know how bad it would be—but it’s becoming clearer and clearer with each day.
We’re under assault from liberals in Congress who have gone on a spending spree to the tune of over $10 trillion. Taxpayer-funded bailouts have been passed against our consent. Taxes are being raised. Our government is trying to run the affairs of private businesses.
And now Obama-Pelosi-Reid want to have the government take over our health care choices.
Our Country Deserves Better and we ask you to join our fight for conservative beliefs as we strive to make this a better and brighter America.
Conservatively yours,
Hon. Howard Kaloogian, Chairman
Our Country Deserves Better PAC is leading the fight to champion the Reaganesque conservatism of lower taxes, smaller government, strong national defense, and respect for the strength of the family as the core of a strong America.
Our nation’s future is at stake, and we must stand up to Barack Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress.
To Contribute:
The Our Country Deserves Better PAC is committed to defeating the candidates backed by Democrat Senate and House leaders, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, in the 2010 congressional elections. We will support conservative challengers in these election campaigns. We will then turn our focus to ensuring that Barack Obama is defeated should he chose to run for re-election in 2012.
What We Stand For:
LOWER TAXES
Our government leaders have forgotten that when they push through giant spending plans that they are spending money that does not belong to them, but the taxpayers. Rampant government spending and attempts at social engineering in the housing market caused the current economic crisis. These were problems created by the politicians in Washington who did not respect the taxpayers best interests. The solution is not to take more of the American people’s money—it is rather for government to take less, and allow the American consumer to make his or her own decisions about how to spend THEIR money.
OPPOSITION TO BAILOUTS
We oppose government bailouts of private corporations. Taxpayers should not be expect to foot the bill for something that they are not responsible for. Similarly, a dangerous precedent and trend is being established where the politicians in Washington are advocating more government control of sectors of the American economy. This is quasi-socialism, and it has been proven to be ineffective in places it has been tried (such as Argentina and Japan). The expansion of government into the private sector is not only ineffective, it is immoral. Individual freedom and liberty is sacrificed more and more when the government tries to tell individuals how to conduct their daily lives and imposes more regulations and restrictions upon them. We support capitalism and the power of individual liberty and we oppose government attempts to squelch either.
STRONG NATIONAL DEFENSE
We believe America’s leaders must understand that peace comes from strength—and that evil (whether it be Islamic jihadism or Russian aggression) must be confronted with toughness and resolve. We support our military men and women and their missions in the War on Terror. We are opposed to the tentative plans currently being discussed that would cut funding of our military. Providing a safe and secure America is one of the few activities that our federal government should be involved in. Instead, some liberals in our government are pushing to take money away from our national defense and use it instead to support more government-run social programs that have proven to be failures in the past. We say, give our troops the funding and equipment they need to do their jobs, and then support them when they are sent off on their missions. We similarly support taking care of our veterans once they have served this nation, providing them with the services, benefits and assistance they need and that they more than deserve.
SECURE BORDERS
We believe America must have secure borders and that those who come to this country must have respect for the rule of law. At a time when many national security experts fear the ability of terrorists to sneak weapons and personnel through our porous southern border it is inexcusable that we would not once and for all ensure that we know who is coming into this country and ensure that they have proper permission to.
SOUND ENERGY POLICY
We believe that this nation must achieve as much energy independence as possible, and expand our options to include domestic energy exploration (including offshore oil drilling), a greater embrace of nuclear power, as well as increased usage of alternative energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable energy sources. Until we do, we will not only be beholden to foreign energy suppliers in the Middle East, but we will also be transferring untold billions of dollars from the United States to regimes hostile to our nation, some of whom are state sponsors of terrorism.
JUDGES WHO RESPECT THE CONSTITUTION
We believe our nation is best served by judges who are guided by adherence to the constitutional principles that have made this nation great. We are tired of seeing judges show reckless disregard for our constitution, which is the bedrock of American liberty and protection of the rights of the individual, and instead try to impose their own political agenda.
