Sean Bielat asks for $150,000 to put him on Ballot

Dear Fellow American, Sometimes late at night, after my kids are tucked into bed and my wife has fallen asleep, I lie awake worrying about the future. How will I provide for my family if the economy collapses? How do I save for my kids' college education and retirement with health care costs skyrocketing and taxes increasing each year? Are my kids going to have the same opportunities this country gave me? It's a scary time to be an American. As a husband, father, U.S. Marine, and small businessman I recognize what I can do to help shape our future and ensure we remain the strong and prosperous country we always have been. Nothing will change in Washington if we elect the same circle of people—the Barney Franks, Joe Kennedys, and Ed Markeys of the world—over and over again. We need a new way of thinking in Washington to succeed and preserve the American way. So I'm launching a campaign for the open U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts to replace John Kerry. I don't want to wake up one day to find we're fighting the war on terror on American soil or to learn that the Chinese have called in our debt and that we're beholden to them. And I never want to experience an America where our most basic liberties—freedom of speech and religion, freedom to bear arms, and freedom to succeed through our own merit—no longer exist. I know you don't either, and that's why I'm reaching out to you today. You see, to get on the special election ballot, I need to submit 10,000 valid signatures from registered voters by 5:00 PM on February 27. It sounds simple, but Massachusetts law makes it nearly impossible to succeed without hiring a professional signature collecting firm. Unlike most of the candidates in this race, I don't have the personal assets or wealthy backers to write a check and be done with it; I'm relying completely on the support of national conservatives, like you, to afford signature collectors. My campaign must raise $150,000 by midnight on Tuesday and I'm counting on your immediate help. Will you make an emergency contribution of $10, $25, $50, $100 or more to my campaign right away? There is so much at stake—and while I hope to live my golden years in relative prosperity and security—I'm really doing this for my kids and the grandchildren I hope to one day have. I know you share these concerns and that's why I can't emphasize to you enough how critical your support is today. So please—stand with me today and help put my name on the ballot in the Massachusetts special election by contributing $10, $25, $50, $100 or whatever you can afford to my campaign today. No gift is too small, no gift is too large, but some gifts may be too late, and your support is critical to raising $150,000 by midnight on Tuesday. Thank you in advance for your support and God bless America. Sincerely, Sean Bielat Conservative Candidate for U.S. Senate Major, Marine Corp Reserve P.S. It's a scary time to be and American, and as a father, husband, U.S. Marine, and small businessman I feel it's my duty to take action. That's why I'm running in the U.S. Senate special election to replace Secretary of State John Kerry. But I urgently need your help to secure 10,000 valid signatures to get on the ballot. My campaign must raise $100,000 by midnight on Tuesday and I'm counting on your emergency contribution of $10, $25, $50, $100 or more to ensure success. Thanks—Sean
