Veterans Day (Email to Supporters)
November 12, 2012Dear Supporters,
From the first shots of the Revolutionary War, to the men and women serving our country today, this nation owes an immeasurable debt of gratitude to our veterans. We are the greatest country in the free world and I’m grateful for the freedoms we as a country have fought so hard to protect. On this Veterans Day, please take the time to say thank to our men and women who have served and are serving our country.
There are so many great poems written on behalf of our veterans. I have included one of those poems today.
In Service,
Congressman Randy Hultgren
Veterans Day
By Taylor Weinman
Representing the red white and blue
The colors of our flag stand out proud and true.
The white stars on blue background with red and white stripes
Remind me of these veterans, who all risked their lives.
Just so the people of the U.S. could all live in peace and be free
These are the heroes that represent you and me.
They stood up strongly, untied as one,
And kept up the fighting until they were done.
And although some have fallen, and lost their lives in war,
We pray for each one of them.
And now that their souls live on forever more,
Above in God’s hands.
They watch over our nation,
And give us strength to triumph over others with strong anticipation.
So every year, when this day comes by,
Think of all the veterans that while fighting, had to die.
And remember that they were people
With fire and passion embedded inside.
They die for this country,
So remember and honor them with pride
Moving Forward (Email to Supporters)
November 10, 2012Dear Supporters,
Thank you. I am so proud of all our volunteers and supporters. Whether you were on the front lines making calls, knocking on doors, writing letters, or just talking to friends and neighbors, make no mistake, all of you help to shape the debate about the direction of our country.
Just like you, despite my re-election, I am deeply disappointed in the overall results of this year’s election. Here in Illinois, due to district gerrymandering, we lost a significant number of talented Republican congressmen that were dedicated to the core principles of less government, fewer taxes, and more personal freedoms. Needless to say, losing the Presidency is a blow to our country’s free-market ideology.
As disappointed as I am in the overall results of this election cycle, I refuse to be discouraged. We still live in the greatest country in the free world. The fact that we as a country hold open and free elections is empowering and uplifting. More than 215 years after the Constitutional Convention, most people on the planet still do not have the right to vote.
During the next few weeks, political pundits and our own leadership will be debating the future of the Republican Party…what we lack, what we need to adjust and how we are to move forward in an ever changing world. No doubt, we as a party have to re-evaluate our strategies, our messaging, and we must find ways to increase our voter pool. These are healthy debates and I am looking forward to being part of those debates and helping to rebuild the Republican Party.
Again, I can’t thank you enough for all your sacrifices! We may be down today, but we will move forward and we will continue fighting for responsible leadership and responsible solutions to our country’s problems. We do this because we love our country and because we want future generations to prosper and to achieve the American Dream.
In Service,
Congressman Randy Hultgren
Hultgren Wins Second Term
November 6, 2012ST. CHARLES, IL-Congressman Randy Hultgren was elected to his second term in Congress tonight with a substantial margin over his Democrat opponent Dennis Anderson.
Congressman Hultgren provided the following statement regarding his victory:
“I am humbled and appreciative for the support and faith that the voters in the 14th Congressional district have bestowed upon me.
“It’s no secret that our country and state face great challenges. Out of control government spending, high unemployment, anti-small business policies, home foreclosures and more are all hindering our opportunities at reaching the American Dream.
“I look forward to addressing those challenges and I plan on fighting harder than ever to ensure that we identify responsible solutions to the many difficult issues facing our great country.”

Seven More Days (Email to Supporters)

SEVEN MORE DAYS!!!!
In just seven more days the American voters will determine the direction of our country.
It’s no secret that our country and state face great challenges. Out of control government spending, high unemployment, anti-small business policies, home foreclosures and more are all hindering our opportunity to reach the “American Dream”.
Over the past two decades, I cannot recall a time in our country’s or our state’s history when an election year was so pivotal. Our economic future and that of our children and grandchildren is at stake. Your participation in the electoral process is so important to our future.
In Service,
Randy

October 19, 2012Published Friday, October 19, 2012:
Since last year, Republican Rep. Randy Hultgren has met with more than 100 small-business owners and job creators in the 14th Congressional District, which he represents.
The goal?
Finding out what it would it take for each of those employers to add just one job.
Elected to Congress in 2010, Hultgren, of Winfield, has taken job creation to task, supporting more than 30 jobs bills in the House, including the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2011, which was signed into law by the president.
Hultgren believes the federal health care law should be repealed, and he wants to bring an end to “out-of-control” federal spending through cuts and lower taxes.
He faces Democratic challenger Dennis Anderson of Gurnee, who is retired but most recently worked for the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center at the University of Loyola-Chicago as the assistant director for research support. Anderson supports the federal health care law and believes a combination of cuts and revenue increases can help lower the national deficit.
The 14th Congressional District includes all of McHenry County with the exception of Algonquin Township, and parts of Kane, Lake, Kendall, DuPage, DeKalb and Will counties.
In the general election race for the 14th Congressional District, we recommend Hultgren.
Are you better off than you were four years ago? (Email to supporters)
October 18, 2012Dear Supporters,
“The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much”.

As we go into the final weeks of the 2012 campaign season, I wanted to take this time to thank you for all that you’ve done on behalf of my campaign and the Republican Party. Your efforts inspire me and my colleagues to push forward and continue to fight for the future of our country.
One of the most fundamental questions being asked of voters this election cycle is: “Are you better off than you were four years ago”? I thought that it would be helpful to provide you with some talking points that address that question head on. Click here to read more
