Sarah Palin Vows to Retire Harry Reid, Repeal Mother of All Mandates

An Urgent Message From Our Sponsor Dear Newsmax Reader: Harry Reid is hanging by a thread! Voting has already started in Nevada and polls show Sharron Angle with a slight lead. This week Sarah Palin spoke in Nevada and urged Tea Party supporters across the country to "retire" Harry Reid from the U.S. Senate. Gov. Palin said that Sharron Angle will repeal “the mother of all unfunded mandates called Obamacare.” She added: “I thank you for being so bold in your support of Sharron too. Bless her heart the stuff they have thrown at her. Yet she’s still standing.” The Democrats and Big Unions are still pouring in millions to help Harry Reid snatch a 9th inning win. But you can stop them! Our sponsor Sharron Angle urgently needs your help for the final big push -- Donate Here Now. Also, read her letter below! Newsmax.com Dear Supporter, What a month we’ve had! Every non-partisan public poll in the month of October has us leading Harry Reid!  Fox, CNN and Rasmussen all have us winning on Election Day. There is no doubt where the momentum is swinging. Now, Nevada's largest newspaper, The Las Vegas Review Journal said, "Angle mops floor with Reid" at tonight's debate. "She hit hard on a variety of topics; showed she had the fire to be a U.S. Senator; demonstrated a command of the issues; and, of course, stayed gaffe free." "Reid meanwhile looked tired. Sounded entitled. He mixed up the Department of Education with the Department of Energy. Couldn't find his notes for the close and generally fell back on talking points on far too many questions." Last night's debate went great. But that means that the Democrats are going to hit us even harder now. They’re desperate. In fact, according to the Washington Post, the “Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee on air in Nevada, cancels final week of Missouri ads.” The media is reporting that they have given Harry Reid as much as $2.5 million dollars. So I need an URGENT contribution to match this new national Democrat money attacking me. Help us raise $200,000 in 1 day by donating $100, $85, $60, $35 or what you can give today! All of this news is a sure sign that the Democrats’ attacks on me are only going to get worse.   We’re prepared to fight this onslaught but I need your help with this one Day $200,000 Moneybomb.  With your donation, we can overthrow Harry Reid and his incredibly liberal schemes for America.  His failed policies have done enough damage already; help stop him today with a contribution of $100, $85, $60 or $35! With our debate victory last night and our lead in the polls, our campaign is peaking at just the right time! If Harry Reid thought our $14 million dollar grassroots effort was impressive, he’ll be shocked our one Day $200,000 Moneybomb!  Join the fight and give your most generous contribution of $100, $85, $60 or even $35 today! Fighting for you, Sharron Angle, Republican Nominee for U.S. Senate, Nevada P.S. It’s urgent that you contribute to the campaign to be a part of this incredible momentum.  Donate $100, $85, $60 or even $35 today!
