Save Bob Smith – Regain Senate
John LeBoutillier
Friday, Aug. 23, 2002
Today I am using this column to endorse Sen. Bob Smith in his crucial GOP primary battle up in New Hampshire.
On Sept. 10 – just two and a half weeks from now – Bob faces off with Congressman John Sununu for the right to face Hillary clone, Gov. Jeanne Shaheen.
Keeping this seat is crucial for the GOP to recapture control of the Senate.
Bob Smith is a longtime friend of mine – mainly because we share the same belief that our own government has lied – and is still lying – about American POWs abandoned in Vietnam.
Quite frankly, Bob is the only U.S. senator to have the guts to fight for the POWs – while weasels like that wretched John McCain and that awful John Kerry were using the Senate Select Committee on POWs to cover up the truth about the POWs. What McCain and Kerry did was – and remains – one of the most disgraceful episodes in crooked government cover-ups – ever!
The so-called establishment – even the Republican establishment in D.C. – has had it in for Bob ever since. And now they think they can finish him off in this primary.
But, according to Fox News the other night, polls show Bob Smith "surging" – and the race is now a statistical dead heat.
So, knowing that, we can push Bob over the top – and maybe regain control of the Senate, too.

We can – and must – win this battle!
I have written a letter – available below or on the front page of NewsMax – asking fellow conservative Republicans to support Bob. If you can send a contribution to his campaign it may very well make the difference in which party controls the Senate for the next two years.
You can donate by Clicking Here – and the Smith campaign will have the money right away for use in crucial last-minute TV commercials.
Here is the letter:
The future of our country has often turned on the deeds of one man.
George Washington was one such man. Ronald Reagan was another. Sen. Bob Smith of New Hampshire is also such a man – making it imperative that we make sure he is re-elected.
Why is Bob Smith so important? For the past 18 years, he has carried the torch of Ronald Reagan and been one of the Congress' greatest champions of conservative values and our country's future.
As a result, he has been the target of the unremitting hatred of the liberals. In his last election, the liberal media actually declared his opponent the "winner" before all the votes were even cast!
Now – with conservative control of Congress at risk – the Daschle Democrats have pulled out all stops to get Bob Smith out and make sure Republicans don't take control of the Senate.
We can't let that happen. That's why Bob Smith is one of the few candidates for office editorially and officially endorsed by NewsMax.com. That's why I am urging you to help his campaign by Clicking Here.
We urgently need Smith in the Senate to continue to fight for our conservative values and our future.
Here is just a partial list of his accomplishments. In the Senate Bob Smith has:
- Helped protect your job and business by taking on big labor and forced unionism, championing the Right to Work.
- Fought hard to keep our military strong as a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Bob has also been a leader in the fight to build a national missile defense system.
- Fought tirelessly for your right to keep more of your own paycheck. Last year, Bob Smith was ranked in the top percentile in the entire U.S. Senate by the National Taxpayers Union for protecting taxpayer dollars from government waste.
- Fought for the rights of unborn children. Bob exposed on the Senate floor the horrors of partial-birth abortion, the sale of baby body parts, and he introduced a bill stating that life begins at fertilization and should be constitutionally protected from that moment on.
- Uncovered how your tax dollars are being used to fund pornography in your children's schools. Refuting denial after denial by the Department of Education, Bob Smith brought the teaching materials used in public schools into the Senate chamber and placed them on senators' desks. Ironically, the materials were so vile and graphic that he was prohibited from showing them on camera in the Senate!
- Fought for Elian Gonzalez's freedom. Bob Smith was the lone senator who stood by Elian's side (most of the time alone!) until then-President Bill Clinton violently removed Elian from his home and sent him back to Castro. (It has recently come to light that the INS and Justice Department knew that Elian's father had made a request to come to America to enjoy freedom with his son and the INS ignored his pleas and then covered it up – refuting the liberal media's claim that Elian's father wanted them to live in Cuba.)
- Demanded a full accounting of our POWs. Many members of Congress are afraid to touch this issue, but Bob Smith has kept this issue alive.
Bob Smith has survived the vicious attacks of liberal critics and opponents, in election after election – in 1984, 1986, 1988, 1990 and 1996 – and was re-elected to fight again!
You can help Bob defeat the liberals in 2002 by Clicking Here Now.
Now in 2002 to get this conservative powerhouse out of the Senate and give the Democrats more votes, the liberals have made him their No. 1 target for defeat – and without our help they could well succeed!
Bob Smith is being challenged within the Republican Party by Congressman John E. Sununu, who says if he is elected, "New Hampshire will have a clear and consistent voice in the Senate and a senator that you can be proud of." I guess it is pretty clear how the congressman views Bob Smith's record.
New Hampshire has a late (Sept. 10) primary election, which means there will be less than two months to put together a campaign against three-term Democrat Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, who will be a tough opponent.
Shaheen is a Hillary Clinton ally and "poster girl" for Emily's List and will raise millions of dollars from that source as well as from Clinton-Gore fundraisers.
This is a recipe for disaster unless we do our part.
If we lose Bob Smith in the Senate, a powerful conservative voice will be silenced.
If Bob Smith loses, any chance of the Republicans regaining the Senate will be lost. Tom Daschle will continue to call the shots. Bob Smith urgently needs your help now – for sake of the future of our country.
You can help Bob Smith win re-election by sending $50 or more to the Bob Smith for Senate re-election campaign. Just CLICK HERE.
In closing, let me say I know you get hundreds of requests for money all the time. So do I!
But the stakes are so high. Please send whatever you can. If possible, please send $50 or more – a small price to pay to preserve the precious values in all we all believe in!
Never has there been a clearer choice. In Bob's last race the liberals pulled out all the stops, but Bob still managed to win by 15,000 votes – a significant margin considering Bob Dole lost to Bill Clinton by 40,000 votes in New Hampshire during that same election.
This time every vote will count. Every donation will be critical.
Bob's primary election is just around the corner on Sept. 10, which means he needs your help today!
Please don't delay your support. Bob's primary election is days away and it takes time to buy media and advertising. Your donation today will help Bob air his last round of commercials and make sure that we conservatives again take control of the Senate.
Thank you.
Yours for America,
Hon. John LeBoutillier
