Dueling Email Fund Raising Pitches in 14th District

Tuesday night, right before the Huntley Area Tea Party forum on gun control and Concealed Carry was about to start, Congressman Joe Walsh sent out the following pitch for campaign contributions:

WE ARE ALMOST THERE!
PLEASE DONATE NOW
AND HELP JOE RAISE $10,000 IN 10 DAYS!

We are almost there!

Joe Walsh was given the privilege of addressing the Huntley Area Tea Party crowd first.

There are only 4 days left until the end of our third finance quarter.

It is critical you show your support right now. In the last 9 months we have shaken Washington to its core and proven that the American people will not sit down and be quiet. The American people want term limits, smaller government and the ability to let the private sector to flourish.

I recently announced that I would be running for re-election where I live and most of my current constituents are, the 14th congressional district. But I need your support. This primary battle is a fight for the soul of the Republican party.

Help me keep my voice strong and show that we are serious. If you can help me raise $10,000 in 10 days, we will send a powerful message to Washington that the American people will NOT back down. We are almost there!

4 days.

Then, this morning opponent Randy Hultgren seemed to one-up Walsh by bragging that he had already raised $10,000 in one day.

Here is his email:

Arriving after Joe Walsh spoke, Randy Hultgren listened intently to the presentation of Bill Jenkins in Huntley.

Thank you! We’ve had a great push this week, raising more than $10k in just one day. But there’s still time left to support Randy before the quarterly fundraising reporting deadline! Every dollar helps so if you haven’t already, please consider donating $25, $50, $100 or more to Randy’s campaign by THIS Friday, September 30th at midnight.Let’s send a message to Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the Springfield Democrats that we won’t give up and that we will fight to send responsible, conservative leaders to Washington who will create an environment for small businesses to thrive and hire. Randy is proud to serve as your representative, but he needs your support to keep fighting for our country and the hard-working people of the 14th District.

  1. “we won’t give up and that we will fight to send responsible, conservative leaders to Washington who will create an environment for small businesses to thrive and hire”….Congressman, please name ONE thing you have done to create ONE job???

    …..keep saying that, PLEASE!

  2. go to the link you posted. click on “contact us.” you get a large FU. from my experience that means ‘fuck you.’ sounds like Joe has been hacked or perhaps that is his sentiment to those trying to add to his $700,000 fund that reimburses him for ‘loans’ when he can’t seem to pay his obligations to his children.
