Patriot,
I decided to run for the U.S. Senate in
2010 because growing entitlements and out-of-control federal spending had exploded our national debt to $14 trillion. We were on an unsustainable path
that was mortgaging our children’s future.
Fortunately, Americans decided that a government controlled by liberal Democrats
wasn’t good for the country, and they elected Republicans to the House to halt President Obama’s extreme policies. A Republican majority
in the Senate followed in 2014.
As I ran for re-election in 2016, we had the prospect of electing a Republican president who could work
with a Republican Congress not only to stop the expansion of liberal policies but, we hoped, to reverse some of the damage done during Mr.
Obama’s administration. I figured we had an opportunity to put America back on the right path, and I was more than willing to dedicate myself to
that worthy effort.
By and large, Republican policies worked. Regulatory relief and a more competitive tax system helped create a healthy
economy with low inflation and record low unemployment. Strengthening the military deterred our enemies, and policies designed to secure the borders
dramatically reduced the flow of illegal immigration.
During the 2016 campaign, I said it would be my last campaign and final term. That
was my strong preference, and my wife’s—we both looked forward to a normal private life. However, neither of us anticipated the
Democrats’ complete takeover of government and the disastrous policies they have already inflicted on America and the world, to say nothing of
those they threaten to enact in the future.
Nor did we anticipate the pandemic, the government’s failed response to it, the loss of
freedom that has resulted, and the tyrannical approach taken by the elites who have created and maintained a state of fear that allows them to
exercise control over Americans’ lives. Instead of everyone working to achieve the goal President Biden stated during his inaugural
address—unifying and healing America—it feels as if our nation is being torn apart.
As I travel around Wisconsin and talk to
citizens who love our country, I know I am not the only one with grave concerns. My message has always been that America is precious, and it is our
solemn duty to make sure it survives and thrives for future generations.
President Reagan warned that freedom is fragile, always one
generation away from extinction. As I have told crowds since my first Tea Party speeches in 2010: This is a fight for freedom. This is not someone
else’s fight, this is our fight, and it’s a fight we absolutely must win.
I believe America is in peril. Much as I’d
like to ease into a quiet retirement, I don’t feel I should. Countless people have encouraged me to run, saying they rely on me to be their
voice, to speak plain and obvious truths other elected leaders shirk from expressing—truths the elite in government, mainstream media, and Big
Tech don’t want you to hear.
In 2010 I promised I would always tell people the truth and that I would never vote with re-election
in mind. When re-election isn’t your primary motivation, those are easy promises to keep. Today, I am announcing I will continue to fight for
freedom in the public realm by running for re-election. It is a decision I haven’t made lightly. Having already experienced a growing level of
vitriol and false attacks, I certainly don’t expect better treatment in the future. For my campaign to succeed, I will need the support of every
American who values the truth and refuses to allow lies and distortions to prevail.
Tens of millions of dollars will be spent trying to
destroy and defeat me. The mainstream media and Big Tech will contribute their powerful and corrupt voices as the unofficial but reliable
communication apparatus of the Democrats. We face powerful forces that desire even more power and control over our lives. Their path, paved with false
hope and greater dependency, always leads to tyranny. We cannot let them win.
So I will humbly ask, Patriot, for your endorsement to help
me SAVE AMERICA. |

| Patriot, It’s Ron Johnson.
I have just announced my campaign for
re-election to the U.S. Senate.
I never could have imagined our country would be where it is today. From out of control spending to
reckless liberal mandates, America is on the precipice of disaster.
This will not be an easy win but I am ready to fight to
SAVE AMERICA from the Democrats.
Can I count on you to join me? |
