[Peace-discuss] and now a word from John McCain.

My Friend,

Last week the Obama Administration announced the cancellation of plans 
to build a missile-defense system in Eastern Europe. I strongly disagree 
with the President on this matter of national security. I'm writing to 
you because I sincerely believe this decision will damage the strong and 
enduring relationships we've forged with the region's nations since the 
end of the Cold War at an unfortunate time of renewed Russian 
adventurism. And that's why I hope you will take a stand with me today.

Country First is dedicated to helping elect leaders to federal and 
statewide offices who will focus on keeping our homeland safe and 
secure. I have had the great fortune to serve my country for many years 
and I am committed to doing everything in my power to elect leaders who 
share our concerns and values for our nation.

But I can't do this alone. I need your support today to elect leaders 
who believe national security and defense are priority issues and will 
stand up to the Obama Administration when they make decisions that 
undermine America's leadership around the world.

Will you follow this link right away to make a generous contribution to 
help Country First PAC support these candidates?

We have an important fundraising goal to meet by the end of the month. 
I'm counting on you to help us reach this goal and that's why I'm asking 
you to make a donation of $25, $50, $100, $250 or more before September 
30th to elect strong leaders to office across our country.

We must work together to keep America strong and safe. I hope you share 
this sentiment and will show your support for those of us who stand up 
to ensure our country's safety and security.

Thank you in advance for your support. </mccain>
