Dear Friend,

Welcome to Team Emken!

We're only two weeks into 2010 and things are ramping up. On Monday, the Manteca Bulletin profiled the campaign and my inspiration to run for Congress. If you haven't seen it yet, take a minute to read the piece here.

I decided to run for the House when I learned that our representative - Jerry McNerney - wasn't actually representing us, and was, instead, simply voting with Nancy Pelosi - 95% of the time! California deserves better than that; I couldn't stand idly by knowing that somebody is making decisions that affect all our lives without knowing all of the facts first.

Right now, I'm asking you to forward this email to five friends who will be interested in learning about the campaign. Ask them to sign up at Emken2010.com to become a part of our team.

Together, we will restore true, principled leadership in Washington.

Sincerely



Elizabeth
