My fellow Americans – this is Mike Johnson.



This is a longer email but I’m humbly asking you to read it start to finish. <[link removed]>



Why? Because the moment I was elected Speaker by my Republican colleagues, the Radical Left IMMEDIATELY unleashed a coordinated, preplanned political hit job against me. - The Liberal Media spun up hit piece after hit piece to smear me in the press – Biden’s former Press Secretary even attacked me for being a Christian on MSNBC.

- Politico fired off this headline: “Democrats rev up the opposition machine against Mike Johnson.”

- And I can’t even begin to tell you how many Democrat fundraising emails and texts I saw in the minutes following the final vote – I’m bracing myself for the next FEC reports.



Look: 



These vicious attacks are a dime a dozen in Washington. They don’t intimidate me. But I’ll let you in on a little secret: that’s not really the goal…



The real goal of this political ambush is two-fold: 1) smear the good names of every House Republican to hurt them electorally, and 2) scare Liberals enough to whip out their credit cards, fill in their info, and donate to Democrats.



It’s about power and money. Nothing else.



That’s why it’s mission-critical that we stand up for ourselves in critical moments like this. So as one of my first moves as Speaker, I’m teaming up with my fellow Louisianian – Majority Leader Steve Scalise – to set a goal of raising one million dollars between now and the end of the month. <[link removed]>



It’s ambitious. I get it. But that’s the bare minimum we need to fully fund our campaign operations in battleground races across the country.



If we fall short of that, we’ll be forced to SLASH our voter contact budgets, GUT our digital outreach efforts, and pull our ads OFF THE AIRWAVES. Nothing could be worse for our plans to defend and expand our slim House Majority.



So here’s my final pitch to you:



We urgently need your help. Not next week, not in the new year – right here and right now. 



The difference between a strong Conservative Majority and one controlled by the Liberal Machine will come down to can’t-miss fundraising goals just like this. 



Let me make myself perfectly clear: 



I’m not asking you to pitch in more than you can afford. If you can spare $50 or $100, I would be tremendously grateful. But if you can only spare $5 or $10, I would be equally appreciative.



The ONLY thing I ask is for every Conservative in the country to chip in SOMETHING. <[link removed]>



That will be the difference between victory and defeat. So what do you say? Can I count you in? <[link removed]>YES >> <[link removed]>_NO >> <[link removed]>



Thanks for all you do. 



In liberty,

Speaker Mike Johnson
