Here's a message Congressmember Chris Murphy of Pennsylvania sent me last week. They're at it again. And I need your help to fight back.
Here in the 5th district, we've seen this type of fear mongering before. The ad running against me now is eerily reminiscent of an ad that Nancy Johnson ran in 2006, infamously suggesting that I would not allow the U.S. government to intercept "a terrorist communication" from Pakistan to the United States.
With your help, we were able to muster the resources to beat back Johnson's misleading attacks. Now, I need your help again. Can you immediately go to our website here and make a contribution to help us fight back against these right wing attacks on our Constitution?
I believe that we won in 2006 because in the face of these ads, we refused to bend in our support for basic civil liberties and privacy rights. I support a strong terrorist surveillance law, but I refuse to sacrifice our nation's hard fought civil liberties in the name of George Bush's illegal wiretapping scheme.
But I can't fight this battle alone. These new ads show that Bush's supporters will go to any lengths to remove from office those of us who dare to oppose his growing imperial Presidency.
Right now, I need your help to grow our ability to fight back. Can you click here to make a contribution to our campaign?
Forward this email to your friends. We need everyone’s support in responding to this attack ad TODAY.
These ads don't scare me. If you give me the necessary financial resources, we can once again prove that campaigns based on fear and deceit have no place in Connecticut.
Every best wish,
Chris Murphy
