Tuesday night, voters nationwide sent a very clear message during the primary elections in Pennsylvania, Arkansas, nd Kentucky. Clearly, the Democrats’ reckless Washington agenda of wasteful spending, bigger budgets, UNsustainable debt, and government takeovers of entire industries hurt their candidates across the country.

Arlen Specter lost his battle for reelection because he valued his own job more than yours. He voted for the failed stimulus package. He voted for the Democrats’ massive health care plan. And he enthusiastically supported the Obama administration’s failed tax-and-spend policies. Not even the full weight of the Democratic establishment could save his bid for reelection.

Blanche Lincoln failed to reach the required 50% of the vote in her brutal primary battle, and now she is in serious danger of losing a runoff next month. Senator Lincoln likes to pretend that she is a moderate, but her liberal record tells a different story. Like Specter, she voted for the failed Obama-Pelosi-Reid stimulus debacle and the costly health spending bill, all while trying to convince her conservative state that she was one of them. They didn’t buy it, and now she’s in big trouble.

Republicans, on the other hand, are offering commonsense candidates who listen to the people and stand opposed to the liberal Washington agenda. Pat Toomey, John Boozman, and Rand Paul each won their respective Republican nominations because they stood up for the issues that are important to voters: lower taxes, less spending, and smaller government in Washington.

But being on the right side of the issues isn’t enough. As we saw in the special House election in Pennsylvania Tuesday, a well-funded Democrat candidate who runs like a conservative can overcome even the most unfavorable environment and win. We need to work very hard in each and every race to make sure that we win every seat possible this November. Our candidates are doing a great job, but they need our help against the Washington Democrat money machine. Please consider contributing $10, $25, $50 or even $100 to help ensure that our candidates have the resources they need to fight the Democrats’ radical spending agenda.

Sincerely,

Randy Bumps NRSC Political Director
