(Washington DC) - This week, every likely Republican voter in
Michigan's Seventh Congressional District will receive a letter
from Gold Star Father, and Michigan native, John Ellsworth.
The letter, which went to over 40,000 households, urges voters to
support Captain Brian Rooney in the upcoming Republican Primary on
Tuesday, August 3rd. A copy of the letter can found here: http://politi.co/cgzRqa
The letter was preceded by an automated phone call last Friday to
all 40,000 households, alerting them to the forthcoming
letter. In addition, the phone call and letter will be
followed by radio ads from Vets for Freedom through the weekend and
into election day. The audio of John's automated phone call
can be found here: http://politi.co/cD6MYn
"This is an effort to bring honor, integrity, and courage back
to Congress--and Captain Brian Rooney is just the man to do it,"
says John Ellsworth. "We believe this message will resonate
with Michigan voters who are looking for something other than
'politics as usual'".
Pete Hegseth, Vets for Freedom Executive Director and Iraq War
veteran added, "Brian is an outstanding representative of our
warrior generation, and is exactly the type of Congressman we need
in Washington."
Vets for Freedom (www.vetsforfreedom.org) is a non-profit,
