JOHN,

The political class in Boise wants you to think Jim Risch’s re-election is inevitable. They want you to believe that an Independent can't win in Idaho.

They are wrong. And we have the polling that proves just how vulnerable Risch really is.

When voters are asked about a generic race, Risch leans on his party label. But when voters hear the actual choice—an Independent Army Tank Commander and Tech Executive versus a Career Politician—the race flips upside down.

When voters know the truth, we are LEADING Jim Risch 40% to 35%.

This is the momentum we’ve been looking for at a critical moment in this race. Can we count on you to chip in a few bucks to help Todd Achilles replace Jim Risch as one of Idaho’s Senators?

Idahoans are clearly tired of the folks like Risch at the top, with his $55 million net worth, the arrogance of calling this "my seat," and the refusal to hold town halls. They are hungry for someone with grit, someone who has served in a tank, and someone who knows that public service means putting the troops first.

Here's the catch: Risch knows these numbers, too. He knows he is vulnerable, so he will use his $55 million fortune to drown out our story before we can tell it.

We have the winning message. The only variable left is: Can we afford to get that message in front of enough voters?

We need to make sure every voter in Idaho knows who I am and who Risch really is.

Idaho isn’t a terribly expensive state to advertise in, so that means each donation goes much further than in a state like California or Texas. Will you help us take advantage of this momentum by chipping in to Todd’s campaign?

Thank you,Todd Achilles
Independent Candidate for U.S. Senate (Idaho)

This campaign is not about political party allegiance. It is about recommitting ourselves to the Constitution and to our fellow Idahoans. The challenges ahead of us are not right versus left, but top versus bottom. There is more that unites Idahoans than divides us.
