Friend,
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 childrenâs future.
Fortunately, Americans
decided that a government controlled by liberal Democrats wasnât good for the
country, and they elected Republicans to the House to halt President Obamaâs
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. Obamaâs
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 wifeâs—we both looked forward to a normal private life.
However, neither of us anticipated the Democratsâ 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 governmentâs 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 Americansâ
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 elseâs fight, this is our fight, and itâs a fight we
absolutely must win.
I believe America is
in peril. Much as Iâd like to ease into a quiet retirement, I donât 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
donât 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 isnât 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 havenât made lightly. Having
already experienced a growing level of vitriol and false attacks, I certainly
donât 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,
Friend, for your endorsement to help me SAVE AMERICA. |

Friend, Itâs 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?
