"Senator Gordon Smith"

As Oregonians woke up this morning across our state, they were greeted by an onslaught of false negative attacks against me. Chuck Schumer and liberal Democrat leaders in Washington, D.C have poured more than $300,000 into their misleading television ad, and that is just in the first week.
You may have already seen these ads on TV. They hit the air today - and the National Democrats have now demonstrated that they will sink to any low, all in an effort to defeat me for purely political reasons.
I can't sit idly by and watch these Democrats from Washington, D.C. come into our state and attack my record. The only way we can stop them is to rise above the noise and talk directly to the voters of Oregon.
Today, I'm launching an all out effort to fight back and I need your help.
Please make an emergency contribution right now so we can respond on TV, send letters and emails and rise above these purely partisan attacks launched today by people from outside our state.
The negative attack campaign launched by the national Democrats is nothing more than a desperate attempt to defeat me for their own partisan gain. They want another rubber-stamp Senator supporting their liberal out-of-touch policies and want to deny the voters of Oregon a strong, independent voice.
By helping me today, we can stop these partisan Democrats in their tracks. The nominee of their own party has not even been picked, yet they seem content to get a head start by attacking me and trying to influence Oregon's election.
That's why we're launching an all out effort to fight back and we are starting today. Please make a contribution in the next 48 hours so we can begin to fight back immediately - there's not a moment to lose.
I can't thank you enough for your support - and I need your help now, more than ever. Sincerely,
Senator Gordon Smith
