John,

In 2017, a little movie called Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri captured the nation’s attention with its lacerating, humorous and sometimes even melancholic plot line. I was one of those folks who was taken with the premise that putting up a billboard with a punch could affect change and at the very least, draw attention to a terrible situation.

A year later, I tried out my own version when Ted Nugent, that vile, sorry, gun-worshiping excuse for a human being, was booked at Roanoke’s Berglund Civic Center for what could generously be called a “performance.” I felt it was an affront to my daughter’s memory for him to be invited to a place she called home.

I tried getting the area static billboard companies to run my ads. When they refused, I hired a rolling billboard company that had no qualms about the message I was sending, and it made national news. Even Ted was moved, hackjob that he is, because he dedicated a “tune” in my honor, calling me a "dumb f***." 

It’s time to revisit the billboard tactic. In my last email, I pledged that the gloves are off and I’m not going to play nice. As with the one for old Ted, I’ve got some creative billboards in the works that will be showing up in key Congressional races. We have a real chance to gain ground in the U.S. Senate and hold onto the House. If you like the Nugent billboard, you’ll love what’s coming from Andy’s Fight. And if you haven’t already, join the fight on ActBlue so you can help me stir up more havoc!

Your favorite "dumb f***," 

Andy
