Dear Supporter,

Because of your efforts thus far our team has raised more money than both Chris Dodd and the Republican front runner for the US Senate Race in CT.

But now is not the time to be complacent. There is irreversible momentum building behind our effort to reawaken the spirit of America.

I urge you to please donate today as part of our effort to break fundraising records and to help us show the country how committed WE are to real reform against the big government incumbents.

Our friends at Schiffsuperbomb.com have helped to organize what will certainly be a record breaking day. To further enhance their tremendous work, I ask that you please donate as much as you can before midnight tonight.

I assure you that every dollar you donate will be wisely spent. Many of my friends and colleagues have questioned the quietness of my campaign over the past month; but please note that was by design. I apply the same principles of fiscal conservativeness, accountability, and responsibility to my campaign as I do to my business and as I will to our federal budget.

I made a decision to hold off on major spending prior to the 2009 local elections on Tuesday November 3rd in CT and to shy away from highly visible campaigning as I built my campaign team and transitioned away from my business.

With your financial support today, you and I can stand up together against Chris Dodd and the other proponents of overreaching government in Washington

Dear Friend,

Well, it looks like you have made a difference.

Based upon the unbelievable support that I have receieved from 10,000 supporters like you, I have decided to throw my hat into the ring to challenge Chris Dodd for the honor of representing the state of Connecticut in the United States Senate. I will announce my candidacy on MSNBC’s Morning Joe show on Thursday, September 17 at 8:15am eastern time. Sorry for the short notice, but its important to honor commitments and keep these things under raps until the day the news breaks.

At this time last year I could not have imagined that that I would be making such an announcement today. I had never intended to become a candidate for public office. But these are extraordinary times. Our economy is falling apart in front of our eyes and Washington seems intent on making the wheels come off even faster. At a time when we desperately need adult supervison, the economically illiterate are running the show. As I love my country, it now seems clear that I must try to do something to help. The emotional and material support I have received from across the country has made the decision much easier.

So today it begins. As I’m sure you are aware, the rules in politics bear only scant resemblance to those which govern polite society. As a result, I am wading into strange waters, and I’m sure strange things will happen. But I promise to maintain my composure and give it my best shot. Based on the support that I have received thus far, I fully expect to be facing down Chris Dodd in the general election just 14 months from now.

As my campaign takes flight, I appreciate the patience and trust that you have shown. To commit time and money to a long shot candidate for high office is a hard choice. I hope to repay that trust with a first class campaign.

I look forward to your feedback and your continued support.

Thanks again,
Peter Schiff
