Memo for Friends and Supporters of the Beatty for U.S. Congress Campaign
The following is a press release from Jeff Beatty’s Campaign Office for U.S. Senator for Massachusetts.
~~John Cronin~~
The past two weeks have been a positive affirmation of why I am in this race; I am overwhelmed by the support of our volunteers and the citizens of the Commonwealth. Team Beatty has been busy and my apologies for the newsletter delay.
Campaign Review
As I write this note, I am the sole nominee for the Republican Party to run against John Kerry.
We are now focused on the 4 M’s - Message, Media, Manpower and Money! I need your help in all four areas. Look for places to help me get the message out! Let’s arrange to sit down with your local Media (papers, radio and TV). We need you to help us build our base of volunteers, find lawn sign locations and fill the road with bumper stickers. And, of course, we need you to ask your like-minded friends to help us by donating!
Please log on to www.jeffbeatty.com and update your volunteer status. If you’ve donated before, please consider making it a recurring monthly donation. If you haven’t, now’s the time! We are hoping to get our first TV ads on the air in July, but we need your help.
I owe this good fortune to all the supporters, friends, and benefactors of the campaign. When all was said and done, we submitted over 16,500 certified signatures to the Secretary of the State. Again, while it’s my name on the ticket, this is our campaign, and it’s time to move on to the next stage.
While I am heartened by the zeal shown by my supporters, there are a great number of citizens in the Commonwealth who do not know who I am, what I have done or where I stand on the issues. Over the next couple of months, the campaign’s main focus will be getting our positive message out through a host of state-wide events. I invite you to check the website frequently as we add events to the calendar.
While getting on the ballot kept me busy (and my team even more so), I managed to squeeze in multiple radio interviews and even a few TV appearances. I had an enjoyable time talking with the Republican Town Committees in Saugus and Sudbury and met with a number of contributors in Swampscott in late May. Lastly, it was great to see so many supporters the Association of Republican Town Committees last week.
Upcoming Events
Over the course of the next two weeks, I’ll be on the road getting the word out on my candidacy and where I stand on the issues. Our Democratic opponent has deep pockets but we have the message! Check the events page on my website for more details.
• 9 June (TONIGHT) – I am the featured speaker at the Attleboro Republican Committee meeting tonight.
• 11 June – I will be speaking at the Quincy Republican Town Committee meeting on Wednesday.As always, your support will be critical. We have met one of our goals by winning the party’s nomination. Now, we will have the tough fight—going against an entrenched Senator looking for his fifth term. It’s a tough fight, but with your support, we will succeed!
Thank you for your continued support, and feel free to contact james@jeffbeatty.com with any questions about the campaign or volunteer opportunities. I welcome opportunities to fundraise, receive endorsements and employ volunteers, so please contact my campaign staff through www.jeffbeatty.com.
Keep an eye out for the next newsletter on May 20th, and make sure to friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter! Again, thanks for your help!
