Over 155,000 Households Have Received Books
Dear Friends,
Thank you very much!
Because of your generous contributions, our campaign was able to mail more copies of Art Robinson’s book – Common Sense in 2012 – to voters than we initially thought possible. Over 155,000 households have received books – representing most of the households where they will be of greatest interest and have the largest possible influence. Thousands more copies are being distributed by volunteers directly to voters.
The effect of the book has been astounding. It has generated tremendous enthusiasm among those who were already supporting us and attracted many more supporters who have read the book and told us over and over again "everything he says makes sense".
As he travelled through the annual Cottage Grove parade (which drew 4,000 attendees and about 50 parade entries), Art Robinson was continuously greeted by supporters cheering for him and excitedly shouting they were reading his book!
Now, more than ever, we need your continued support. With less than 100 days until the election is decided, it is critical that we raise the funds necessary for a well run campaign and to pay for Television and Radio in the final weeks
.

The media campaign must be paid for by contributions we receive over the coming weeks. Although most of our campaign is run by volunteers, we still need money for these critical ads and other important expenses.
Unlike our opponent, our campaign is entirely supported by individuals – mostly in small amounts.Our 25 year career politician opponent must be replaced. His actions are damaging our country and he has virtually no integrity.
DeFazio’s falsehoods about us have gotten so wild that in a recent fund raising e-mail he claimed that a large specific group of our donors (in this case 1,562 individuals who had contributed an average of just over $100 each to our book distribution campaign) - were a “handful” of “millionaires and billionaires”.
We publicly objected to this lie and DeFazio’s response was to repeat it in his next e-mail.
Our opponent’s plans are simple. Based on 2010 and his campaign so far, it is clear he intends to lie, smear, and misrepresent not only my Dad’s views but also our family and supporters as well - which include you!
DeFazio is also refusing any type of debate that might force him to answer questions from my Dad. This sort of unethical, negative campaigning might work if unopposed, but it will fail if we have the resources we need to answer him and show his lies for what they are.
Meanwhile, we are also having fun! I wish ALL of you could participate in the meetings, parades, and other events with thousands of excited voters anxious to get our country back on track.P.S. While I was writing this letter to you I received a pre-recorded telephone call from our opponent, Peter DeFazio, advertising a telephone town hall event for tomorrow. This automated call was almost certainly made to most of the voters in our district. This is costing many thousands of dollars and will be entirely paid for by tax-payers. He holds these frequently. We are counting on voluntary contributions from supporters like you to fight back!

Dear Friends,
Already, with only 60,000 copies of my Dad’s book mailed to the voters in Oregon, the effects are astonishing. Far more voters than we expected are reading the whole book and many more are reading the parts of the book of greatest interest to them.
More than 60,000 copies of Common Sense in 2012 have already been mailed to voters. Another 70,000 are printed and waiting to be shipped. The Art Robinson campaign needs your help with additional contributions to pay the 63 cents each required to mail them.
Our liberal socialist opponents don’t know what to do. They depend upon a campaign of smears and lies about Art Robinson’s accomplishments and goals. How do you lie effectively about your opponent when voters have whole books in their home that tell the truth? We are receiving many delightful reports of even Democrats reading the book, discovering they have been lied to, and switching sides.
While thousands of books are now also being distributed in person by volunteers (when my dad gives a public speech now, the audience takes, on average, about five books each for distribution to their friends and neighbors), we must mail the books to reach the broad expanse of voters and especially the swing voters who will decide the election.
At present, 70,000 more books are printed and awaiting mailing. All we need is money for the postage. At 63 cents each, $25 pays postage for 39 books... $100 pays postage for 158 books. A maximum contribution of $2,500 (this limit is separate from any contributions made before the May 15th primary) mails books to 3,968 voters – 20% of the number of additional votes we need to win the election (based on the 2010 results).
Will you help my father and I with this important book distrubtion project? Please click here to donate $25, $100, or the maximum of $2,500 to help us distribute books?
Common Sense in 2012 is now also available in free electronic book and computer readable versions on our campaign web site. You can download a copy by visiting: www.ArtForCongress.com.
Career politicians have a very low opinion of the voters. They have manipulated voters for so long with 30-second sound bites and bullet-point fliers that they think voters are unwilling to read past slick brochures to learn the truth.
We know that most Americans, especially in view of the national and personal challenges they face today, are far more interested than politicians realize. The remarkable reception being accorded to Common Sense in 2012 in Oregon is a clear demonstration of this.
With the help of volunteers, we are able to print and mail a book to a household for $2.09. Most households have more than one voter, making this about an eighth of that spent per vote received by both sides in the 2010 election, so it is very economical.
Your contribution of $100 will allow us to distribute this important book to 47 voters!
We need new ideas in Washington – “new” ideas that are actually old ideas such as following the Constitution, balancing the budget, fulfilling obligations, and avoiding debt. Books to voters is a also new idea. Voters need more information about the candidates, so that they will send better members to Congress.
If we are able to deliver my dad’s message to voters, he will win the election. Then he can carry his message of “common sense” to Washington.
Please help if you can! We need contributions NOW, so that we can get these books into the hands of voters as soon as possible.
Thank you very much for your consideration and support!

P.S. Support for our campaign in District 4 is very, very strong. On June 23, my dad gave a short speech to the Oregon District 4 Republican nominating convention in our district, where supporters for the various presidential candidates were competing for delegates to the Republican national convention.
Even though he only spoke for a few minutes, he had to pause repeatedly as the cheers and applause drowned out his words. The audience was on its feet before he reached the podium. From staunch old-guard Republicans to Ron Paul libertarians, all were cheering for my dad – who has become a unity candidate throughout the district.
