Yesterday, the Washington, D.C.-based Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and two labor unions launched radio and TV ads attacking me for supporting Paul Ryan’s Path to Prosperity budget last week.

As you know, the budget, which passed the House last Friday, is a critical step forward in getting our nation’s debt under control and shows a clear contrast in the two parties visions for our country’s future.

Fact: The House-passed budget ends the Alternative Minimum Tax, which affects roughly 30 million Americans.

That’s what I told Congress when they tried to pass a half-hearted bill full of loopholes after CBS’s 60 Minutes called Congress out on insider trading. I didn’t accept the business-as-usual Washington response. I stepped up to the plate with the RESTRICT Act, a bill that’s gaining major traction, national media attention and significant endorsements from the likes of whistle blower Peter Schweizer (“Throw them all out”) and former Governor Sarah Palin. The RESTRICT Act is being praised for its “straightforward simplicity” – a novel concept in a town accustomed to thousand page bills full of carve-outs for special interests.

But that’s not all. My first action as your Congressman was to introduce a resolution to effectively end earmarks in Congress. I’m proud of my role in ending the bribing of elected officials with wasteful pork projects for their districts. And for all the dysfunction in Washington these days, at least bills are finally being debated on their merits and not the attached “goodies”.

I also authored legislation to put an end to the $800 billion stimulus bill and return unspent funds to the Treasury to pay down our national debt.

In just one year, I’ve proven myself to be a principled leader in a movement for a more accountable government that spends your tax dollars more efficiently and effectively. But it hasn’t won me many friends in the beltway.

No wonder I am the Democrats’ top target in 2012. They openly talk about taking me down now, before I can become an even bigger force for reform and limited government.

Now, I need your support before midnight on New Year’s Eve.

Your contribution, which can be made online, right now, by clicking here, will ensure I have the resources to fight back against their attacks. I need your help to continue making good on my promise to GO ALL THE WAY in cleaning up and shrinking government.

There are other reasons why Democrats have put a big fat target on my back. They’re mad that I led the fight to rein in President Obama’s new regulatory agency, which would have unprecedented powers to over-regulate small community banks and credit unions – the lifeblood of economic growth and jobs in Wisconsin.

I’m also the only congressman who has put forward a comprehensive alternative to Obamacare. One that is patient centered, not run by bureaucrats and Washington know-it-alls.

For these reasons — and many more to come — liberals and special interest lobbyists want me gone and replaced with one of their tax and spend cronies.

It’s true that a powerful, liberal Democrat held this seat for more than 40 years. But no political party or machine owns Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District. It’s the people’s seat. I’m asking you to help me continue to be your voice of reform and thrift in government. If you click here and donate online right now, we can count your support towards our 2011 goal.

Thank you for all your support and prayers. May you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Gratefully yours,

Sean Duffy

Often times, fact is stranger than fiction. But sometimes, especially for the liberals who think they own this congressional seat, fiction is certainly a lot more convenient.

This week, a national labor union poured $50,000 into TV time for attack ads against me urging support of Obama’s Stimulus 2.0. They claim Government spending and higher taxes will create more jobs. They obviously didn’t pay much attention to what happened after the first Obama / Pelosi Stimulus.

Then a second group – Nancy Pelosi’s Super PAC – decided to double down and spend another $50,000 of their own this week in TV ads misleading Wisconsin voters about my record. Add them together and you’ve got $100,000 of attacks, distortions and lies – and we’re still a year away from the election!

Sadly, this first foray shows that the Liberals in Washington aren’t bound by the truth. They don’t much care about the fact that I opposed a taxpayer bail-out of big banks and failing companies from the start, or that I voted for corporate tax reform that closes loopholes and encourages companies to stop shipping jobs overseas. Or that I’ve voted for dozens of job-creating measures already in Congress.

Because if you’re a Washington Liberal and you’re trying to buy back a congressional seat, why worry about the truth? Just run whatever lie is most convenient.

I need your financial support now to fight back. Consider taking a moment to give — whether it’s $20 or $100. Voters deserve to get the full story.

What these attacks against me reveal is that Democrats aren’t interested in creating more jobs or getting our economy back on track. They’re only interested in scoring political points.

With your help, we’ll make sure that tactic doesn’t work. We can’t afford to let $100,000 in attacks go unanswered.

Sincerely,

Sean Duffy
