Dear Fellow Republican,
My name is Bob Sauerwein and I am your candidate for
US Congress in the Washington State’s sixth congressional
district. I am running for congress because we need candidates
with real life experience to get the job done. What job you
ask? I am investing in an effort to hinder Congress from spending
our country into further debt.
When I sit down at the dinner table to pay the bills
with my wife, Shelley, she and I go over our bills. We see how
much money we have and what needs to be paid. We live paycheck to
paycheck like most Americans and we can only spend what we have
earned.
Bear with me for a minute here...
What if one day we decided to spend all our money
irresponsibly, maybe I went out and bought a 100-inch plasma screen TV.
And since we were broke imagine if I just went to the bank to borrow
money to buy a car and maybe another house!
Now imagine after a few large purchases that the
banks won’t loan me anymore money, as they shouldn’t since
I am obviously irresponsible! So as a last resort, Shelley and I, fire
up the printer and just print more money. Not backed by gold, not
backed by assets, just printed more so that we could keep on buying
cars, houses, boats etc.
How long do you think before we got ourselves into a
lot of trouble? I’d say we would be in handcuffs within a few
months... But congress does the same thing every day and they walk
free!
Does that sound fair to you?
My opponent, Norm Dicks, has been in office for over 34
years. He’s worked to max out America’s debt and when that
was too much, well, he just voted to increase the debt. Then, when the
debt was piled on too high he just went down to the Federal Reserve and
had the Fed print more money. So much more that he has increased what
we, and through to our Grandchildren, owe; from $25,000 per person when
he took office to $115,000 today.
We blame presidents for spending us into oblivion but is it really
their fault? Not entirely. No more is it all President Obama’s
fault then it would be my fault if Shelley and I printed money in the
kitchen. The difference here is that it’s a Presidential election
year and everyone wants to blame Obama while forgetting that Norm and
his cronies in congress actually sign the checks!
In the past you have donated to a republican
candidate; I am asking for you to commit once more to the only lifelong
conservative in this race. Will you contribute $2500, $1000, $500, $250
or whatever you can afford to support our campaign? Go to

or you can mail a check to: Sauerwein for Congress P.O. Box 39319,
Lakewood, WA 98496-0090.
Not only do I ask for your help, I am also asking you to help with your
time by telling your neighbor and friends that you have a good
candidate running in the 6th this year. We have seen what happens when
we elect someone, like Norm Dick’s, who has no experience.
He didn’t change Washington, DC, it changed him.
Let’s fix that mistake in 2012!
As the only veteran and only experienced candidate
in this race I have a proven record of conservatism and a strong
commitment to fight for freedom. I need your help. It is only
with the help of citizens like yourself that we can and we will win
this fight.
When asked what party I am with I always answer, "I am first and
foremost a constitutional conservative.” I believe that the
Republican Party is closest to my principles and that the constitution
is what guides and defines us.
Don’t you agree that it’s the
Constitution that gives us hope and ensures freedom? If we lose
that then all hope for a free world is lost. This is by far and away
the single most important document to American life. It gives us the
guide lines and principles by which a nation should govern and conduct
itself.
We need to return the constitution as it is written not as
a “living breathing document”. That statement means nothing
more than we can change or ignore it as we please. I just don’t
agree with picking and choosing what parts of the constitution we are
going to use today. The constitution was written in specific language,
giving guidelines for all generations, and yes that does mean today.
Today, the fundamental freedoms instilled into the constitution still
apply. Our Founding Fathers believed as I do in small, limited
government, personal freedom and government accountability for its
citizens.
I firmly believe in the Constitution and the bill of
rights. As a pro-constitutional conservative, I am a firm
believer in gun rights for all Americans. But my personal belief
doesn’t really matter here does it? The fact is, the Second
Amendment protects our God-Given rights to bear arms. The
Amendment only recognizes that right. But there are some who disagree.
As we speak, the left wing agenda has rolled up its sleeves and
is at hard at work trying to take away these freedoms. As I write
this letter, the gun haters at the Brady Campaign are setting up
candlelight vigils across America to exploit their position that all
guns should be banned.
There’s someone in particular they
conveniently forget to mention though in their gun hating spew...
Sarah McKinley, a young widow of only 18 years of
age was home alone on New Year’s Eve with her eight month old
baby. Around midnight, two men broke into her home with knives
likely assuming she was an easy victim for a robbery and rape. What
they didn’t expect was that Mrs. McKinley was armed. After the
large men had first tried to coerce their way in, McKinley got her
rifle. Dialing 911, she was told by the dispatcher that it would
be 20 minutes before the police would arrive.
By then she’d be dead!
McKinley hid in the bedroom with her infant and her
rifle and waited for the police. But they didn’t arrive on
time. When one of the large men came at her with a knife,
McKinley had to make her stand. I don’t know how many shots
Mrs. McKinley fired, what I do know is that she’s still alive
thanks to her gun rights. The next day, headlines read “Teen Mom
Shoot, Kills Intruder”.
But this isn’t the version of the story they
want you to hear, is it? Truth be told, the liberally gun hating
lobby would have rather you read “Teen mom raped and
murdered… baby missing”
Let’s be honest about the kind of people supporting
Norm Dicks. What if Sarah McKinley was your daughter?
I need your help to protect our sisters, our
daughters, our mothers from being defenseless in the face of
crime. You can’t count on Norm Dicks, but you can count on
me and that’s why I need your help.
Will you contribute $2500, $1000, $500, $250 or
whatever you can afford to support my campaign? Let’s make
sure all the Sarah McKinley’s out there have the means to defend
themselves from vile criminals and violent scum. Go to

Norm Dicks has come out stated this election is all about JOBS, JOBS,
and JOBS. He is right! It is about Jobs. However, he didn't finish the
sentence. Government cannot create jobs; it can only remove barriers to
job creation. This allows entrepreneurs to create businesses and jobs.
This is a simple fix, believe it or not it really is. The answer was
given over 200 years ago by our own founding fathers. Get government
out of the way. If we follow free market principles the economy always
fixes itself. During the last 4 to 5 years this is exactly what the
market has been trying to do, but big government’s interference
by way of the bloated stimulus packages have put off the inevitable. We
continue to see high unemployment, business and homes failing.
America is the shining light on the hill, but if the
current government doesn't take drastic measures we will not shine
brightly for long. We are the hope of all mankind and we have our best
days in front of us, we just need to ensure the opportunity is there
for every American, a chance to fulfill their American dream. Invest
with me today. A contribution of $2500, $1000, $500, $250 or whatever
you can afford will ensure a chance for all our children to live the
life we have dreamed for them and for our nation. Go to

Thanks so much for your time and effort to help us
save America,
“America: The shining light on the hill called
Freedom”.
Pres.Ronald Reagan

Bob Sauerwein
