Dear Hunter,

One-hundred fifty years ago this month, the Confederate Army was closing in on Washington, D.C.  The Capitol's dome remained half finished.  Many doubted whether the country would even survive.

But in July of 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Pacific Railroad Act and the Morrill Land Grant College Act into law.  Just weeks earlier he had signed the Homestead Act.

In our country's darkest hours, President Lincoln understood the importance of making investments in people and our future; we were building the ladder of opportunity.  America is not doing that today, but we could be.

Will you join me and invest in America again?

Will you make a contribution of $100, $50 or $5 to elect new leadership that will help make sure we do so again?

We don't need a transcontinental railroad today, but we do need to build a smart grid to make Arizona the "Solar State" and to make America a leader, not a laggard, when it comes to broadband.

We need to make higher education as universal as high school.  We need to invest in entrepreneurs.  And though the Capitol Dome is completed, we do need to restore its luster with real ethics reform, like the plan I put forward last week.

We can do all these things, but it will take leaders willing to think big and think new.  We can do that in Washington today, but we need your help.

Thank you,

Andrei

P.S. – Make a contribution today to bring new leadership and ideas to Washington.
