Dear Friends and Neighbors:

It’s time for a new kind of politics, where common sense and pragmatism take the place of corruption and partisanship; where fiscal responsibility and selfless service take the place of financial gain and selfish ambition. It's time we put people before politics.

I am committed to serving the public, and the general welfare of the people will guide my service, not the wants of special interests, or partisanship.

Read my list of 10 campaign promises.

In supporting my campaign you are helping to turn the political tide, by proving that candidates with character, vision, and leadership are not doomed to the past, and that the politics of greed and power have no place in the future of our great state.

Join me today in my effort to reform politics by making a generous contribution, and by volunteering. It is a fact of politics that it takes money to build a winning campaign, and that's why it's so important for you to show your support by making a contribution right now. Your support will give us the win in 2010.

I welcome any comments or suggestions that you might have, as I am eager to listen to your hopes and dreams for Missouri's future. I look forward to seeing you on the campaign trail in the months ahead.

Your friend,

P.S. Your gift of $25 right now would really give us a strong head start in our goal of returning honesty and bipartisanship to politics. as a thank you gift.
