An internal poll obtained by lanewslink.com shows Republican Woody Jenkins with a 45-40 lead over Democrat Don Cazayoux. The Jenkins campaign internal tracking poll conducted by the Washington Political Group also shows a rapid increase in Don Cazayoux's negatives since the NRCC and other conservative groups began exposing Cazayoux's record on taxes.

• As a former state Representative, Woody authored over $3 billion in tax cuts.
• Woody also established a right to property in Louisiana for the first time by amending the Constitution. The amendment limits the power of the state government to take property and requires fully compensating owners for their full loss.
• As evidence of his success in the legislature, Woody Jenkins was named "Legislator of the Year" by the National Taxpayers Union in 1977.
• He was also named “Outstanding State Legislator in America” by the Eagle Forum.
• Woody has been endorsed by the Club for Growth, House Conservatives Fund, National Rifle Association, and the Family Research Council among others.

On Friday, I sent out an email to Slatecarders asking them to join me in supporting John McCain.

I noted that I was going to give $25 to John McCain for the next nine months through Slatecard (and hopefully more). What that means is that I'm going to be putting in at least $225 to help ensure that a liberal Democrat doesn't take the White House.

A few people have already joined me in the effort and I'm proud to report that John McCain will be receiving over a $1,000 over the next nine months from me and the few that have already stepped up to the plate.

I'm pleased with the early response I've received through this effort and I plan on sending more emails to help garner support for McCain.

If you haven't already, I'd ask you to join us by making a $25 donation to John McCain today and make it a recurring monthly donation for the next nine months.

Remember, every effort, no matter the size, starts small. Together, we will continue to make a difference. 

In just a few days, Indiana voters will head to the polls for its Special Election to help elect a Congressman to fill the seat held by the late Julia Carson.

Slatecard has firmly stood behind Republican candidate Jon Elrod. We've backed Elrod when no others would because we believe in his proven track-record of winning races against all odds in heavily Democratic districts. And in a true about face which could prove the tipping point in this race, the Indianapolis Star has endorsed Elrod noting his commitment to fiscal responsibility and his strong work ethic.

At Slatecard, we believe that donations from people throughout the nation, $25 at a time, can help defeat the special interest money that Elrod's opponent has taken. And we've been successful.

Over the past two weeks, 37 Slatecarders have stepped up to send $1,730.00 to help Jon Elrod get his message out to Indiana voters. Thanks to our help, Jon is airing the following commercial to help promote his brand of independent leadership:

 

If you haven't yet made a contribution to Jon Elrod's campaign, I'd ask you to join our movement by donating $25 to help keep Elrod's message on the air.

Elrod has been outgunned and outmanned from day one in this election. He's fought hard to pull the race to within single digits. I believe. 

While the Slatecard community's $1,730 contributions may quickly get glanced over by Washington insiders, I'd note that we're just getting started, and that we were willing to take a chance on an individual simply because he's a Republican who needed help with a good shot at winning. Elrod doesn't owe the Slatecard community a "yes" or "no" vote on legislation if he's elected.

This is the beginning of how average citizens can help change the way Washington works and operates, and I'm proud to be a part of it.

Revolution. 

ACTION ALERT: Special Election in 16 Days

Carson: Carson has yet to face voters in a contested race. When City-County Councilman Patrice Abduallah resigned last year, Carson emerged from a caucus of precinct captains as the choice to fill the seat on an interim basis. He ran unopposed in November. After his grandmother's death, he was the first-ballot choice of county precinct committee chairs.

 

Elrod: Elrod won his first two elected offices in upsets in districts heavily favoring Democrats. In 2004, he won a seat on the Center Township Advisory Board by 35 votes. Then in 2006 he defeated Democratic incumbent Ed Mahern by eight votes to win a seat in the Indiana House. His secret, particularly in the House race, seems to be hard work. In that campaign he knocked on 6,000 doors.

We need your help to spread the word about Slatecard to thousands of conservatives.
 
Read on...
 
As you may know, February 7-9 is the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, DC.
 
CPAC is one of the largest gatherings of conservatives in the nation. In fact, here's what some have said about it:
 

“… A showcase of the heart and soul of American conservatism”
– Los Angeles Times

“… Unmatched in both the numbers it draws and the quality of speakers who appear”
– The Politico

“ The nation’s premier gathering of conservatives… a key event for conservative candidates ever since the first gathering was held in 1974.”
– NewsMax

 
Slatecard has a unique opportunity to attend CPAC and host a booth in Exhibition Hall where thousands of conservatives will be finding out about all the latest new tools that are helping push-and-pull the movement forward. If you plan on attending CPAC, please stop by our booth!

To attend CPAC, we need to raise at least $2,500 to pay for our booth, produce handouts, and set-up laptops so that conservatives can register their Slatecard on-the-spot!
 
We have even made a special button for this fundraiser that will show up in our Ticker if you choose to assign it after your contribution which will help us earmark your contribution:

 
It gets better...
 
The best news is that CPAC wants to help Slatecard spread its message to the movement. They have told us that if we can get our registration fees in by Friday, December 21, they will run a 30-second commercial (that we produce) between speakers throughout the entire event! (I promise you will be the first to see the video.)

Staying true to our mission, this is a team effort. If you are willing to contribute to this cause, we will list your name as a Slatecard Booster on the literature that we distribute to every conservative activist that we see!
 
And if you are willing to contribute $500 or more (your previous contributions to our PAC will count toward this objective), we will list you as a Pillar of the Slatecard Community. Remember, the maximum contribution is $5,000.00 and is not tax-deductible.

Having raised $85,962.51 for Republican candidates and committees from 700 contributors, we know that we're heading in the Right direction.
 
It's time to spread the word.
 
Please make a generous contribution today to help send Slatecard to CPAC and keep this operation moving forward. We will make you proud. Promise.
 
We can do it, folks. We can give the Democrats a serious run for their money. But we can't do it alone.
 
I'm asking for your help because we need it.
