Fellow American,

This is the first and last email I'll ever send you.

You see, I'm a little unsure about opening up to you this way.

But the deck is stacked against us, my back is against the wall, and your response to this message will decide everything.

My name is Pat Harrigan. You don't know me, but I'm a Green Beret veteran from North Carolina. I graduated from West Point, and I served 18 months in combat.

After that, my wife and I started a firearm parts company from our double-wide trailer – and grew it to become a successful, job-creating business. And most important of all, I'm the dad of two beautiful girls.

I'm also a GOP candidate in the MUST WIN race in NC-10, a district that Congressman McHenry is retiring from and one that WILL decide who controls Washington.

Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton already have $100 million bucks ready to trash our GOP candidates in every swing district on the map.

That's why I'm humbly asking if you'll chip in just a few bucks today.

The talking heads and political know-it-alls say I can't win this race. But I bet you've heard that one before...

I'm not the kind of guy who asks for help, but starting a grassroots campaign is tough – really, really tough.

The Democrats won't stop attacking us and cutting off every path to victory we have. Folks like you & me – they hate our guts.

Please have my back on this one:
