Making Progress for Oregon

Friends,

Thank you for all your support over the past year during my race for Congress. We’ve been working hard in Washington to keep the promises we made during the campaign, and to get our country moving again. In fact, the recently passed recovery package contained many of the elements we campaigned on last year.

We’ve already passed legislation to extend healthcare coverage to 40,000 additional children in Oregon and the recovery package put together by President Obama and the Congress that will get our country back to work, provide urgently needed money to our state, and began an overhaul of our infrastructure.

Unfortunately, the campaign never seems to end. National Republicans and other outside interest groups have already started attacking me in the press. One of the first press releases attacking me from the NRCC was a complete fabrication! They outright lied about my voting record. Now they’ve pledged to attack me with radio ads across the district.

Our opponents continue to engage in the same tired political attacks that Americans rejected in November. But I need your help to make sure we’re able to respond to their attacks while we get this country back on track. I need your help to get my message out to the voters.

I know times are tough in our economy right now, but I hope you’ll help my campaign by making a contribution today. Every dollar will help our effort to be ready to respond when outside groups attack, and a healthy campaign account can discourage potential opponents from jumping in the race early.

Your support has meant a great deal to me. It’s allowed me to get a running start here in Washington and achieve the goals we share for Oregon and our country. I hope you’ll be able to help out again.

Sincerely,

Kurt Schrader
