Dear Friend,
I believe more strongly than ever that Americans intend to go to the polls this year and vote for candidates who are determined to bring real change to America.
Working families are looking for leaders who will fight for their hopes and dreams.
Those families have had the rug pulled out from under them. Tax cuts for the wealthy have weakened our social safety nets, leaving children
and senior citizens to twist in the wind.
That is why I am writing to
you today and asking you to make a contribution to the Anne Barth for
Congress campaign.
You may not know Anne Barth personally yet, but she represents the best of West Virginia's time-honored values. She is a United Methodist
minister's daughter, a working mother with two children in college, and she has lived and worked in West Virginia's 2nd Congressional District nearly all her life. She and her husband Nick are both dear friends of
mine. Until recently Anne was my West Virginia State Director. Now Anne is running for Congress.
Anne Barth is an extraordinary public servant. She has worked with me for 21 years to help build roads and bridges in the 2nd District,
improve veterans care and benefits, shore up Medicare and Medicaid, protect Social Security from privatization and bring economic
opportunity to the region. She knows first-hand how to get results for the people of West Virginia.
That is why I am writing to you today and asking you to make a contribution to the Anne Barth for Congress campaign.
This is a pivotal moment in our history together. We have an opportunity to end a decade of policies that have stroked the wealthy and strapped the worker. Working Americans need Anne Barth in Congress, and I need her in Washington to help me continue to fight to protect our Constitution, and to expand economic opportunity for all West Virginians.
Anne Barth has new ideas to bring hope and opportunity to the 2nd District. She believes that more can be done to bring prosperity to the
region. Anne understands the need for change, but she also understands West Virginia's traditional values and virtues. I am proud of her. Won't you help me help Anne by making a contribution today to Anne Barth for
Congress.
That is why I am writing to you today and asking you to make a contribution to the Anne Barth for Congress campaign.
Your friend,
U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd
