Alexandria, VA — Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), chairman of the Senate Conservatives Fund, announced the endorsement of businessman and former state senator Dino Rossi for U.S. Senate in Washington.

"Dino Rossi is a principled conservative who will help us take our country back. He will fight to stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are bankrupting our country," said Senator DeMint. "Dino understands the stimulus bill was a failure, he will fight to repeal the health care takeover, and he will help us pass a constitutional amendment to balance the budget.

"When I met with Dino a couple months ago, he made it clear he was only interested in running if Republicans were serious about saving our country from fiscal collapse. I've studied his record and his positions on the key issues, and it's clear that he will stand up to the establishment in both parties. Dino is exactly the kind of leader people in Washington and all across America want in the Senate. Dino is in an uphill fight against an entrenched incumbent but I am confident he can win this race.

"The Senate Conservatives Fund will do everything it can to help Dino Rossi. We're going to make sure voters in Washington hear his message and that freedom-loving Americans across the country support his campaign."

A July 16th Rasmussen Reports survey showed Dino Rossi leading his Democratic opponent, Senator Patty Murray. Rossi has attracted substantial support from grass roots conservatives throughout Washington. A King5 News survey released on June 30 showed Rossi leading his closest Republican primary opponent by 28 points. Democrats are so worried about Dino Rossi that President Obama recently announced plans to attend a fundraiser for Murry on August 17.

The Senate Conservatives Fund is a political action committee dedicated to helping elected principled leaders to the United States Senate. SCF supports underdog candidates who are often overlooked or even opposed by the Washington establishment. In addition to Dino Rossi, SCF has endorsed Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, Marco Rubio in Florida, Rand Paul in Kentucky, Ken Buck in Colorado, Mike Lee in Utah, Sharron Angle in Nevada, and Ron Johnson in Wisconsin.

SCF Launches Radio Ad in Colorado

SCF has a new radio ad that will begin airing on stations across Colorado today. We've purchased time to run this ad statewide at full capacity for the next 8 days. It tells Colorado Republicans what you already know — that Ken Buck is the kind of principled leader conservatives can be proud of.

We're starting this radio spot today because voting begins next week by mail-in ballot and we need to do everything we can right now to turn out the vote for Ken Buck.

We want to keep this ad running for the last two weeks of the campaign leading up to Election Day on August 10, but we need your help. To do it, we need to raise $60,000. If you can help us, please consider making a contribution today.

SCF Endorses Ron Johnson in Wisconsin

scf — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 17:46:27 -0700

Alexandria, VA — Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), chairman of the Senate Conservatives Fund, announced the endorsement of businessman Ron Johnson for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin.

"Ron Johnson is a principled conservative who will fight to stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are bankrupting our country," said Senator DeMint. "He understands the stimulus bill was a failure, he will fight to repeal the health care takeover, he opposes amnesty, and he will help us pass a constitutional amendment to balance the budget.

"Like Sen. DeMint, I will go to Washington to join the fight, not the club," Johnson said. "I admire Sen. DeMint's conservative leadership and look forward to joining the effort to get our nation's unsustainable spending and debt under control in order to grow our economy and create jobs."

"Ron came to meet with me a few weeks ago on his first-ever trip to Washington," said DeMint. "He told me he decided to run for the Senate after the President signed health care takeover. It was just too much for him to stay on the sidelines. Ron explained that he is running to join the fight for our nation's freedoms, not to join the Senate club. That's exactly the kind of leader people in Wisconsin and all across America want in Washington. Ron is a common sense conservative who can win. He's in an uphill fight against an entrenched incumbent but I believe he's the right man with the right ideas at the right time.

"The Senate Conservatives Fund will do everything it can to help Ron Johnson win this race. We're going to work hard to make sure voters in Wisconsin hear his message and that freedom-loving Americans across the country support his campaign. If he's elected, he will help us take our country back."

A June 22nd Rasmussen Reports survey showed Ron Johnson in a statistical dead heat with his Democratic opponent, Senator Russ Feingold. With very limited name awareness, Johnson is already within 1 point of Feingold. Johnson has attracted substantial support from grass roots conservatives throughout Wisconsin. In May, he won the endorsement of the Republican Party of Wisconsin at their state convention with 63% of the vote.

Ron Johnson is a 55-year-old manufacturer of plastic products from Oshkosh, Wisconsin. He's a businessman running for office because he loves his country and wants to do his part to save it. In a recent column in the Washington Post, George Will said Ron Johnson "is what the Tea Party looks like."

The Senate Conservatives Fund is a political action committee dedicated to helping elected principled leaders to the United States Senate. SCF supports underdog candidates who are often overlooked or even opposed by the Washington establishment. In addition to Ron Johnson, SCF has endorsed Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, Marco Rubio in Florida, Rand Paul in Kentucky, Ken Buck in Colorado, Mike Lee in Utah, and Sharron Angle in Nevada.
