Dear Amrik,

In just a few weeks, Americans will go to the polls in a critical election. I need your help. The Republican Party needs your help. Our Republican candidates do, too.

I'm asking you to do two things: support the Republican National Committee with your contribution today and make certain you and every family member and friend who supports what I am doing as President get to the polls.

Your donation at www.GOP.com/ElectRepublicans/ to the Republican National Committee and your help in getting out the vote will make a big difference to my agenda to make America safer, stronger, and better.

We have made great progress, starting with the largest tax cut in decades. What Washington spends is not the government's money, it's the people's money. Tax relief was the right policy at just the right time to help our economy. I look forward to working with Congress to make tax relief permanent, starting with killing the death tax once and for all.

We worked with Republicans and Democrats on education reform - to make certain every child learns to read. We're insisting on high standards, local control of schools and strong accountability so every child succeeds and no child is left behind.

Republicans are helping end dependency on government by fighting to extend the reforms that require those on welfare to work for their checks and limit how long the able-bodied can get welfare. And we want to broaden welfare reform by making it easier for faith-based groups to be involved in the tackling of hopelessness and despair.

From important health care reforms that put the patient in charge, to a national energy plan to create jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign oil, to trade policy to create jobs, to common sense measures to make our forests healthier and our environment cleaner, Republicans are showing the American people that our compassionate conservative philosophy improves people's lives.

And while I appreciate the support of many Democrats on the war against terrorism and homeland security, my requests for more defense spending and a stronger homeland defense department with management authority to get the job done would have a better reception in a Congress with a Republican Majority in both the House and Senate.

We've accomplished a lot and it is significant that all of our major legislative accomplishments -- from tax relief, to education reforms, to trade promotion authority, to a crackdown on corporate wrongdoing -- started in the House of Representatives, whose leaders share my philosophy and approach to governing. I believe we can accomplish a great deal for the American people during the next several years if the leaders of the House and Senate are Republicans who are committed to working with me to make America safer, stronger and better.

So please, help me today by sending the Republican National Committee as much as you can afford -- $35, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000 or even more today at www.GOP.com/ElectRepublicans/

All you give will go for the Republican Party's election activities, helping candidates who back me and my agenda. They are counting on your help and so am I.

And, please, also make certain everyone you know who supports my compassionate conservative agenda and approves of my leadership is registered and votes.

The other party -- along with some of their liberal interest group allies -- will do all they can to get out their vote. They know the stakes, and I'm counting on you to outwork them.

Thank you for your support of our candidates, our philosophy and me.

Sincerely,

George W. Bush

P.S. The U.S. House and Senate are both up for grabs. A record number of Governors' races are in play, as well as offices up and down the ballot. This election matters a lot.

The Republican Party needs your help today to win. I'm counting on your support to help bring home victory. Please respond today at www.GOP.com/ElectRepublicans/ and thanks.
