From Bill Foster’s campaign the other day:<\/p>\n
Dear Steve,<\/p>\n
For years, Congresswoman Judy Biggert has been a reliable party line voter for all of the Republican policies that drove us into debt and wrecked our economy \u2013 while benefitting wealthy special interests.<\/p>\n
Later today, Speaker Boehner will be in town to haul in even more corporate lobbyist checks for Congresswoman Biggert\u2019s campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Boehner knows that Judy Biggert cannot run a campaign with donations from ordinary people.<\/p>\n
For five straight quarters, we have out-raised Congresswoman Biggert\u2019s campaign with the help of ordinary individual people like you. Now, we need to raise another $15,000 by the end of this week to show Speaker Boehner he can\u2019t match our incredible grassroots support.<\/p>\n
Can you chip in $35, $50, $150 or whatever you can afford to help us reach our goal?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
For every one of her 13 years in Congress,\u00a0Biggert has been collecting the majority of her campaign money from PACs and Lobbyists<\/em>. And Boehner and Biggert know that this campaign cash will only keep flowing as long as she remains a reliable party-line vote for Washington special interests and against the middle class.<\/p>\n
John Boehner wants to make sure he keeps one of his closest allies and most reliable votes for the Republican agenda in office. But there\u2019s good news, too: the Speaker wouldn\u2019t be here if he didn\u2019t know Congresswoman Biggert is in trouble.<\/p>\n
Our grassroots network has always risen to the challenge before. Please help us out now by sending a message to the Speaker of the House.\u00a0Help us keep up the momentum and show John Boehner we won\u2019t back down.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
Thank you,<\/p>\n
Bill Foster<\/p>\n
