John, I just announced that I’m running for President of the United States and I want to tell you a quick story...
I was just going through some old photos last weekend before this massive announcement, and it made me realize how fortunate I am to be where I am today.
|
That photo was taken when I was a young boy. Back then, I had no idea I would one day be running for President of the United States.
When I was young, my grandparents took my mother, brother, and me into their home shortly after my parents split. After that, my mother had to work long and hard hours just to put food on the table and a roof over our heads.
With the guidance that came from my mother and both of my grandparents, I was taught the importance of a good education - despite the fact that my grandfather never even knew how to read. Yet, they knew that education was the closest thing to magic in America and the ticket to fulfilling the American Dream.

Here’s a photo of me in high school when I was on the football team. Back then, it was my dream to play for the Dallas Cowboys when I was old enough. With a job like that, I would be able to repay my mom for all of the sacrifices she made for my brother and me - and not have to worry about keeping a roof over her head.
Simply put: football was an escape. It was my ticket out of poverty, and my way to give back.
But as life often does, it took an unexpected turn - one day I fell asleep behind the wheel of my mom’s car, flipping it and almost dying in the process. I thank my lucky stars that God had more of a plan in store for me, because the story didn’t end there.
During college, I dedicated my life to Christ and meaningful service, and long story short, I was able to live out my mother’s American Dream!
With the help of some key mentors along the way, I was able to find success in business - and used it to improve the lives of others.
After my time in business, I decided that I wanted to run for public office and work to better the lives of people in my community. So, I chose to run in the Charleston area – as a Republican.
Since then, I have become the first black man elected to the U.S. Senate from a Southern State since Reconstruction. And now, I’m running for President of the United States. You really could only do this in America.
|
What I have learned along the way is this: Every American is capable of achieving their own American Dream when given an equal playing field, especially if the government gets out of their way when doing it.
That’s why I’m running for President. We need to restore faith in America and protect the American Dream for all. It’s a lot of hard work, but I have only been able to make it this far with the help of my supporters.
Just like others on my team, I know you’re reading this email to do the same thing - to join me in standing up for all Americans. So now, I have a short and humble request for you: will you chip in $20, $35 or even more now to support my campaign to help me save the American Dream?
|
Thank you, and God Bless you,
Tim Scott

The Democrats have chosen a culture of grievance over greatness. Here’s the thing though – I know the power of the American Dream because I have lived it. My family went from cotton to congress in a single lifetime.
This isn’t going to be easy. I’ll need your help to win.
|
Can you chip in $5, $10 or even $15 to help me win?
This campaign relies on very generous gifts from people just like you. Trust me, I know that times are tough in Joe Biden’s America, so even if it’s just $5 I would be so grateful.
Thank you for your support!
-Tim |
