Dear Friend of the Badger Institute,

I hope you'll take some time to watch the attached video, see the kind words of people like Karl Rove and Rebecca Kleefisch and Ron Johnson, and hear the promise I make here in writing.

We will never take government money because we believe that the expansion of government is undermining America.

So we need to rely on our friends. We need to rely on people who believe in the fundamental vision we have at the Badger Institute, which is really the fundamental vision of America.

We would appreciate it if you would consider joining us by making a donation as we come together to make Wisconsin a better state, a better place. 

Please watch. You'll see Wisconsinites and national leaders from all walks of life explain why our work at the Badger Institute is more important than ever. We ensure opportunity. We provide the policy work that allows real prosperity through free enterprise and individual aspiration, through capitalism and the promise of civil society.

We work hard every day to promote conservative values in Madison and throughout the Badger State. If you'd like to refresh your recollection of what we do, please visit our website, www.badgerinstitute.org. If you share our vision, please consider donating. If you are a brand-new donor or increase a prior gift by November 14- the end of next week- the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation will match your contribution.

Thanks for watching.
