Thank you for supporting Fight For Tomorrow's effort to elect conservatives across the country, starting with Ken Cuccinelli in the Virginia Governor's race. Can't see this email?

WASHINGTON'S TOP CONSERVATIVE COLUMNIST SAYS OUR GROUP KNOWS HOW TO USE TV TO TAKE THE FIGHT TO LIBERALS Read Kim Strassel's full WSJ column from over the weekend here. Here’s an excerpt: --- Enter a new conservative Super PAC, Fight For Tomorrow, which last week began running a creative TV ad against Mr. McAuliffe in the Washington and Richmond areas. Little is known about FFT (as a national Super PAC, it will be required to disclose its backers in January), but one thing is clear from conversations with those involved: The organization's primary focus is to directly take on the Democratic bare-knuckle strategy—and not just neutralize it, but throw it back at the attackers. The concept behind FFT's ad is to give Virginia voters a context in which to view the McAuliffe attacks. The group's TV spot notes that there is a "gang" supporting Mr. McAuliffe: the leaders of the Democratic Party; an elitist media; Wall Street liberals; outside partisan groups; Hollywood. Having specified who is doing the smearing on Mr. McAuliffe's behalf, the spot goes on to explain why the groups want Mr. McAuliffe to win: To impose an agenda that Virginians truly would view as nuts. Employing a potent list of "geography verbs," the ad finishes: "Tell these McAuliffe puppeteers, this is Virginia. We won't let you Detroit us with taxes and debt. You will not California Virginia with regulations that kill jobs, or Hollywood our families and schools. You will not bring District of Columbia tax and spend to our state. Tell them: You can't have Virginia." One merit of the ad is that, while it directly addresses the left's scorched-earth campaign, it doesn't stoop to responding to the accusations against Mr. Cuccinelli. (The ad doesn't even mention the candidate.) Another attribute is that it switches voter attention away from the wild Cuccinelli caricature and onto all the failed Democratic policies—like the ones that produced soaring energy prices, health-care rationing and huge deficits—that Mr. McAuliffe seems desperate to avoid discussing. Indeed, the whole idea here is to turn the tables, to get the GOP back on offense, rather than offering cringing defenses of positions that are in fact widely shared by a center-right country. "The honest views of Terry McAuliffe and his liberal supporters are what are extreme, but they are hiding them, and doing so by running a smear campaign against Ken Cuccinelli," says Matt Mackowiak, the executive director of FFT. While the FFT ad buy has been modest, Mr. Mackowiak says that a focus group testing the ad among Virginians showed that 27 of 28 people who watched the spot moved away from supporting Mr. McAuliffe. The ad had been slated to run only two days, but the response was so positive, he says, that the group extended the campaign to a full week. This comes even as a recent poll showed the race close within the margin of error, blowing up the media's early burial of Mr. Cuccinelli and giving his supporters new drive to take on the McAuliffe machine. Whether or not the FFT campaign ultimately moves the dial, no one can fault that group's desire to confront what is now the standard Democratic playbook. If the GOP wants to start winning states it should be winning, that playbook is the nut it has to crack. In the ad, our national Super PAC, Fight For Tomorrow, unmasks the forces behind the massive financial effort to elect left wing embed Terry McAuliffe as the next Governor of Virginia and their hidden agenda of higher taxes, bigger government, labor union handouts and job-killing regulation. --- FINALLY, A GROUP SMART ENOUGH AND TOUGH ENOUGH TO DEFEAT THE OBAMA-CLINTON SMEAR MACHINE Aren’t you tired of conservatives not fighting back?   So are we.  And we are doing something about it.   THE CAVALRY HAS ARRIVED   You may have seen our recent coverage on Breitbart.com, RedState.com, Newsmax or Real Clear Politics.   Our ad first aired Thursday, Sept. 12 in northern Virginia (Washington, DC) and Richmond, and until then liberal Terry McAuliffe led by an average of seven points, according to the Real Clear Politics average of polls. NEW ADS ATTACK EXTREMIST LIBERAL 'GANG OF FIVE' THAT USES SMEARS BECAUSE IT WANTS TO 'DETROIT' VIRGINIA Six days later, after our ad started airing in northern Virginia, Richmond (and was expanded into Hampton Roads, VA) and following an endorsement for Ken Cuccinelli by the influential Northern Virginia Technology Council, Quinnipiac University released its respected independent poll which showed the race in a “virtual tie,” according to The Washington Post. Our organization called out the media for disgracefully failing to hold McAuliffe accountable for his record of false statements, failed endeavors, empty rhetoric and hyper-liberal agenda.  We believe our ads have made them take notice.   Over the weekend, The Washington Post revealed a series of embarrassing details in McAuliffe’s professional career where he made millions while the organizations and investments he was involved in cratered or failed.  Also, The Richmond Times-Dispatch ran a Sunday editorial criticizing McAuliffe for being a “deeply unserious” candidate for Governor. Just yesterday morning, a Bearing Drift / Conquest Communications poll confirmed McAuliffe’s cratered poll numbers.  McAuliffe now by the narrowest of margins: 36-35, with 11 percent to a third candidate, 19 percent undecided and a margin of error of five percent. Have you read my Daily Caller op ed this morning, "Terry Takes a Tumble?"  You can read it here.  I hope you'll share it on social media. Fight For Tomorrow will continue to hold unqualified huckster Terry McAuliffe accountable for his atrocious record.  Virginians who want to find a good job, raise their family or start a business are directly threatened by McAuliffe’s support for Cap and Trade, Obamacare, and massive new proposed spending – all part of his liberal agenda. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Will you contribute now to run this powerful ad? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you seen the ad?  You can watch it right now here -- http://www.FightForTomorrow.com. So far, we’ve had a great response.  As of this moment, the ad has been viewed well over 10,000 times on YouTube.   ACTION ALERT The 'Gang of Five' extremist liberals are buying up time for the end of the campaign but if we get this ad out now it will collapse McAuliffe numbers and not only inoculate the public but make their smear ads boomerang back at them. Our ad previously ran for seven days northern Virginia, Richmond and Hampton Roads.  We would like to increase our ability to run this ad immediately and future ads in a wider range of Virginia media markets and utilize effective digital advertising to micro-target to specific Virginia voter subgroups.   Your immediate financial contribution will go to directly running more ads in Virginia to the voters that will decide this election in five short weeks. We are trying to raise $400,000-$600,000 to saturate the Virginia statewide audience.  We are making good progress, but we need your help. Virginia can be a Gettysburg for the whole Obama-Clinton nightmare, but we need that extra push now.  Plus, our efforts will show Republicans how to fight in next year's U.S. Senate races. DEBATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT   Cuccinelli and McAuliffe will appear in a pivotal, statewide televised debate in prime time tomorrow night at 7pm ET, airing on nearly all of the state's NBC affiliates and live-streaming on NBCWashington.com.  We will be blanketing the debate – with your help.   NATION TURNS TO VIRGINIA   Soon the whole nation will be looking at the Virginia election, as it is the only competitive race of any major significance in 2013. Please, please, won’t you help achieve a huge win that shows conservatives in every state how to fight back?   This is a winnable election.   We must stand up for strong conservative candidates and Ken Cuccinelli is one of us.   If Ken Cuccinelli wins the Governor’s race, it will deny the Clinton’s a political prize in their quest to return to the White House and deny the Obama White House a new state under Democratic control.   Despite left wing smear groups massively outspending Cuccinelli, he is now within the margin of error.   Will you help us run this ad this week? Money spent now is so much more important than in three weeks. Please chip in $25, $100 or $250 and we will put those resources directly to running this powerful ad to reach Virginia voters immediately.   Don’t let them Detroit Virginia.  Let’s fight…for tomorrow.   Sincerely,   MLM   Matt Mackowiak @Matt Mackowiak   Executive Director Fight For Tomorrow @F4Tomorrow   P.S.
