Memorandum

From: Buck Greene, W.A.S.T.E. President

Re: Why We Need to Worry About Eric

Things in Washington are great – wasteful spending is out of control, taxes are through the roof, and our national debt is at an all time high. Thankfully, career politicians are willing to kick the financial can down the road so that we can continue to spend endless amounts of money.

Unfortunately, W.A.S.T.E. faces a serious threat. There is a US Senate candidate in Wisconsin who is speaking out against everything we support. His name is Eric Hovde and he wants to cut spending, balance the budget and eliminate corporate welfare and handouts to special interests! Can you imagine that?

Hovde isn’t joking around either. He is a political outsider who is ready to shake things up in Washington. This is why he must be stopped. We support anybody but Eric Hovde.

Fellow W.A.S.T.E.’rs, sign up today and help us preserve the status quo!

Green Alert! We MUST Stop Hovde! We like the government just the way it is:

  • $16 Trillion in Debt — Hovde wants to cut spending!
  • $1.5 Trillion Deficit — Hovde wants to balance the budget!
  • $160 to $300 Billion in Tax Preparation — Hovde wants to simplify the tax code!
  • Billions in Tax Breaks — Hovde wants to eliminate corporate welfare!
  • Enough Pork to Feed Paul Bunyon — Hovde wants to ban earmarks!
  • Sweetheart Deals — Hovde wants to reform government contracts and end crony capitalism!
