My name is Dr. Larry Arnn and I am the President of Hillsdale College. Throughout history, there is no document more important as a guarantee of our liberty than the U.S. Constitution. Yet, like many patriotic Americans, you might not own a personal copy of this timeless treasure. I would like to send you a pocket copy of the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence, along with a no-cost subscription to Imprimis, Hillsdale's flagship publication on liberty. All I ask of you to receive your own copy of the Constitution is that you complete our Referendum of 1,000,000 American Citizens. This is part of a major national educational campaign Hillsdale College has launched to make rescuing liberty in America the main theme of 2012. This pocket-sized copy allows you to carry it wherever you go... so you can pull it out and talk about our magnificent Constitution and Declaration of Independence with your friends and relatives. We are calling this educational campaign "The 2012 Restore Liberty Project." Imagine if, through this campaign, we could distribute this booklet to:
...because we want restoring the Constitution as the supreme law of the land to be what 2012 is all about. [Go Here to Receive a Constitution Booklet] But, before I explain further, I need you to please do three things for me right away. ACTION STEP #1: Please go here to tell me where to mail you your copy of the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence, at no cost to you. We think it is important that every member of Congress carry this booklet with them at all times, and especially when they vote on legislation. They should take time to read these documents carefully before they vote to make sure what they are voting on is constitutional. If you would like additional copies of this booklet to give to your friends and relatives, just let me know. We'll be glad to send you as many copies as you want...because our goal is to distribute millions of copies of this booklet to make restoring constitutional government the main theme of 2012. ACTION STEP #2: Please complete the survey -- Referendum of 1,000,000 American Citizens on whether our federal government should strictly follow the Constitution as the supreme law of the land...or whether the President and Congress can feel free to ignore the Constitution. ACTION STEP #3: Please include the best year-end tax-deductible donation you can to help Hillsdale College fund this "2012 Restore Liberty Project" that I will describe to you here. Hillsdale College's primary mission is to educate a new generation of leaders who understand the blessings of liberty made possible by upholding our founding principles. Hillsdale is different from most other top colleges in America in that we are an unapologetically conservative college. We teach that the United States of America is unique in world history because it built upon the principles of civil and religious liberty. We want every Hillsdale student to understand that the Constitution, inspired by the principles of the Declaration of Independence, formed the foundation upon which the United States emerged quickly to become a beacon of liberty and prosperity for the world -- what President Reagan liked to call "a shining city on a hill." Hillsdale is expanding its educational outreach across America...because we want every citizen to understand the principles of limited, constitutional government and liberty that made America great. We believe that America's success is tied to individual liberty and limited government, made possible by the principles articulated at its founding -- in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. And we believe it is essential to restore the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. [Go Here to Subscribe to Imprimis] That's why Hillsdale is offering educational programs and seminars on the Constitution and America's heritage to anyone and everyone who wishes to learn.This is part of Hillsdale's "2012 Restore Liberty Project," a Four-Part Plan for restoring constitutional government in America. PART ONE: Hillsdale College's 16,000-square-foot Kirby Center for Constitutional Studies is located in Washington, D.C., -- just a few blocks from Congress. Since its official opening in Fall of 2010, the Kirby Center for Constitutional Studies has been a beehive of activity where Hillsdale hosts seminars and conferences for members of Congress and their staffs on how and why the Constitution allowed America to quickly become the most prosperous nation in history...and the critical importance of restoring constitutional government in America. The Kirby Center's lecture hall and conference rooms have been packed with members of Congress, their staff, journalists, Hillsdale students -- all learning about our founding principles such as limited government and free-markets, that made America so successful and prosperous in world history. PART TWO: Hillsdale's seminars and conferences have been broadcast nationwide by C-SPAN, reaching hundreds of thousands of citizens across America. But more importantly, the Kirby Center's educational programs on the Constitution are now available to millions of Americans via the Internet. Anyone can attend a Hillsdale seminar or conference on the Constitution and America's founding principles simply by logging in. We want every American to be learning about the Constitution from Hillsdale College...because the only way we will have leaders in government who believe in liberty and in restoring the Constitution as the supreme law of the land is if we have educated citizens who insist on it. PART THREE: Hillsdale College also publishes Imprimis -- one of the nation's most widely circulated digests of liberty. Imprimis is dedicated to educating citizens and promoting civil and religious liberty by covering cultural, economic, political and educational issues of enduring significance. Lectures and speeches printed in Imprimis, are ones that have been delivered at Hillsdale College events by the best and smartest conservative and thinkers, including:
We publish ten issues a year. We send it to anyone who asks for it -- at no charge. You can order your no-cost subscription here. Hillsdale now sends Imprimis to 2,100,000 citizens. This makes Imprimis America's most widely read digest of liberty. You have probably heard Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, and other conservative radio hosts talk about Imprimis and Hillsdale on their shows. Imprimis has become a must-read for every conservative thinker, writer and commentator. Our goal is to increase our subscribers to Imprimis to 3,000,000 in 2012. PART FOUR: Distribute copies of this Constitution and Declaration of Independence booklet to millions of Americans Imagine if every member of Congress, every elected official, every candidate for President, Congress, and public office promises to carry this booklet with them wherever they go. Every member of Congress should pledge to read the Constitution and Declaration of Independence every time they vote on legislation. They should take time to ask this question before they vote on a bill: "Is this legislation constitutional?" If our federal government actually followed the Constitution, it would be a fraction of the size it is now. America's founding document, the Declaration of Independence, set forth this proposition: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Do you think our government upholds these principles today? My Request to You Which path will America choose in 2012? Will America choose to restore limited Constitutional government and the principles of liberty that made America great? Or will America continue down the road toward bureaucratic despotism that we're on now? 2012 will likely decide the answer to this question. Unless more Americans champion the cause of liberty and arm themselves with the kind of knowledge found in the pages of Imprimis, we will not be able to regain control of our government from the bureaucrats and return it to the people, to whom it rightfully belongs. Please arm yourself today with a no-charge subscription to Imprimis. Hillsdale College will do everything in its power to make sure the American people clearly understand this choice in 2012. But we need your help. Unlike almost all other colleges, Hillsdale refuses all taxpayer subsidies because we don't want government bureaucrats telling Hillsdale who we must hire, who we must admit for enrollment (even if they don't meet Hillsdale's tough academic standards), or what we can teach. The only way Hillsdale can fund this enormous "2012 Restore Liberty Project" that I've described to you here is with donations from American patriots like you who believe in liberty. Some of Hillsdale's benefactors send gifts of $1,000 or even more, while other friends of Hillsdale are making an equal sacrifice by sending gifts of $25 or $50. And if your gift is $500 or more, you qualify to have your name (or the name of a loved one you would like to recognize) engraved in a brick on Hillsdale's Liberty Walkway. Hillsdale is committed to the proposition that America's heritage of liberty is worth preserving. With your help, Hillsdale aims to enlist every American citizen to this cause in 2012. Along with your no-cost subscription to Imprimis, I would also like to send you a U. S. Constitution booklet. It will be a lasting reminder that you took a stand for freedom and helped extend the gift of freedom to future generations. So please give the best year-end tax-deductible donation you can to support this worthy cause, to help educate all Americans about the urgent need to restore limited constitutional government. I will wait to hear back from you in the next few minutes. Sincerely,  Dr. Larry Arnn P.S. Don't forget to go here to fill out the survey. Along with your no-cost subscription to Imprimis, we will mail you your pocket Constitution and Declaration of Independence, at no cost to you. Hillsdale needs donations to fund the enormous "2012 Restore Liberty Project" I've described to you here. Your donation will be put to immediate use to...
Thank you so much for standing with Hillsdale and the Constitution... and for doing everything in your power to restore liberty in America.  |

Hello fellow Conservatives:
In review of the Republican primary race for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by James Webb so far, it has been observed by more than a few political analysts and operatives that many conservatives, both inside and out of the Republican Party, are not 100% satisfied with the choices being offered so far in the Republican field. Of course, there are those likely primary voters who have firmly committed themselves to a particular candidate. The recent exit of Tim Donner, however, only further fuels much of the uncertainty.
The following questions may be relevant to you at this time. Is the candidate you support a strong, proven conservative? Has your (or any) candidate consistently stood firm on his/her conservative principles under heavy fire? Does he/she really have a verifiable track record of conservative activism to sufficiently substantiate him/herself and win your unwavering trust? Do the candidates truly have sufficiently proven legislative experience to know how to get things done in a testy place like the United States Senate? Does your candidate give a great conservative speech, but still seem to lack the history of “on-the-ground” issue activism and battle experience before they were running for office to back it up? That is, when there was nothing in it to gain for themselves personally?
Does your candidate (or any) provide for you the real prospect of change you are looking for in Washington, or does he/she have a record which had contributed to the problems leading to the disastrous elections of 2006 and 2008, along with the other challenges we face today? Or do they have any real record at all?
As late in the game as it may appear, I have decided at this time to begin “testing the waters” for a possible entry into the primary race by Delegate Bob Marshall. I have some simple questions below I would very much appreciate you taking just a few moments to answer as honestly as you can. No other candidate’s names are mentioned, nor is anyone demeaned in any way.
1) 1) Do you consider yourself a staunch conservative, Libertarian, Tea Party/Patriot, a moderate, or simply a “Republican?”
2)
2) 2) Are you satisfied with the choices available in this field of candidates? (yes or no)
3) 3) Have you settled on a particular candidate and committed firmly to that person? (yes or no)
4) 4) Have you donated money to that candidate? (yes or no)
5) 5) Would you … or could you … leave that candidate should you deem that a “better choice” were to become available? (yes or no)
6) 6) Would you be more likely to vote for a Republican Senate candidate in the June, 2012 primary if he had already beaten former Democrat Governor Tim Kaine on public policy issues? (yes or no)
7) 7) If Delegate Bob Marshall were to enter the race very soon, would you either support him, or consider leaving the candidate you currently support to supporting Delegate Bob Marshall? (yes or no)
8) 8)Would you be inclined to volunteer to support Delegate Bob Marshall with some form of activity, such as helping to gather names on petitions to get him on the ballot, among other possible campaign activities? (yes or no)
9) 9) Would you be undecided about Delegate Bob Marshall at this point, but open to considering him over the coming months?
To respond, simply email back to me your answers to questions (1-9) in numerical order. Your responses will have a very major impact in this critical election in Virginia. Please consider them carefully.
Thank you so much in advance for your time and help with this important decision.
Sincerely,
Mike Prunty
