Dear Politickr,

We are at a crucial moment in the campaign. The South Carolina primary is on January 19th, only 3 days away.

Fred has been taking his "Clear Conservative Choice: Hands Down!" bus tour all over South Carolina talking directly to the people. The response has been amazing. Crowds are packing events with so many showing up the fire marshals have been forced to close them to entry. The excitement is electric. South Carolina knows the clear conservative choice has arrived.

Friend --

I'm writing to you this morning from Las Vegas.

After the New Hampshire primary last week, we set a goal of 100,000 online donors in 2008 -- a goal we hoped to reach before the Nevada caucuses on Saturday.

Last night we got there five days early.

Think about that: 100,000 donors in 15 days.

That response has boosted our entire organization and proven that this movement for change is just getting started.

In town halls and rallies across Nevada, I can feel that momentum. And it's clear that more than 100,000 people are feeling it all across the country.

Dear Friend -

No, I'm not retiring from the Senate - I'm working hard as ever, to restore the Constitution, stop that terrible FISA bill and put a Democrat in the White House.

But after our incredible journey campaigning for the Presidency, there is something that does need retiring: our debt.

My internet team tells me the campaign inbox was flooded with messages of thanks and inquiries about how you can continue to help now that the presidential campaign is over.

Today, you can help by contributing financially to our effort to retire the campaign debt.
