11. I'll post a link to it later ocr is not an exact science unfortunately.
Republican NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Ken Mehlman Senator Bill Frist Congressman Dennis Hastert Congressman Tom DeLay RNC Chairman Majority Leader . Speaker Majority Leader
Dear Fellow Republican,
You are among a select group of Republicans who have been chosen to take part in the official CENSUS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Enclosed is your new GOP CENSUS DOCUMENT which was assigned and
prepared especially for you as a representative of all Republicans living in your voting district.
Registration #: XXXX-XXXX
voting-district Code: - XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Your answers will be used to develop a BLUEPRINT for the Republican Party for the next 10 years.
The 2000, 2002 and 2004 elections have all shown how critical it is that we identify and contact EVERY SINGLE POTENTIAL Republican voter in America to get them involved.
Because it is cost prohibitive for the Republican Party to print and
mail an official REPUBLICAN PARTY CENSUS to each and every one of the
55,000,000 Republicans nationwide.
. . . your answers will represent the views and opinions of all Republican voters living in your voting district.
So even if you are undecided about some questions; please complete your new GOP CENSUS DOCUMENT and return it to me in the next 7 days to ensure we get ample and accurate results.
protect our nation against nuclear missiles?
Should the inheritance or "death" tax be permanently repealed? And do you support President Bush's pro-growth policies to create more jobs and improve the economy?
Should we allow religious and charitable groups to do more to reduce poverty so those in need get the direct help necessary to get back on track? Or should the government be able to continue discriminating against faith-based organizations?
Do you favor balancing the federal budget by cutting wasteful
Over, please. . .

government spending?
Do you support the law, passed by the Republican Congress and signed
by President Bush, that bans partial-birth abortion?
Make no mistake -- without your answers to the REPUBLICAN PARTY
CENSUS DOCUMENT questions. . .
. . . our leadership will not know how you and other Republicans at the grassroots level of our Party feel about the critical issues facing our nation.
The Republican National Committee will be unable to develop a BLUEPRINT that will truly energize and unify our Party.
- ,-~
Without your answers, the RNC cannot fully create a campaign plan to organize and mobilize Republicans at the grassroots level of our Party. Most importantly, without your answers we will be unable to help President Bush win passage of his reform agenda in Congress.
Remember. the RNC is the only Republican Committee responsible for both the campaign strategy to maintain and expand our majorities in the
House and Senate during the 2006 mid-term elections and for helping enact the President's agenda.
Our margins are razor-thin. Liberal Democrats in the U.S. Senate can still kill almost any legislation that President Bush proposes and they can stop his appointment of judicial nominees. So real reform
depends on maintaining and expanding our Republican majorities in the House and the Senate. not just now. but over the next 10 Years.
And that starts with including Republicans like you in formulating our BLUEPRINT, then identifying, educating and turning-out Republicans on Election Day.
The last three national elections have been extremely close. In
2002, we came within a few thousand votes of losing the House and Senate to the Democrats and liberal special interests.
And I don't need to tell you how critical the get-out-the-vote
effort was to our Party in 2004, when President George W. Bush won re-
election by just 3%. ?
New Hampshire was decided by just 9,171 votes; Wisconsin by 11,813
votes and Pennsylvania by 128,869 votes out of 5,676,212 votes cast in the keystone state. In fact, if 60,000 votes had gone the other way in Ohio
in 2004 . . . John Kerry would be President today.
That's why your REPUBLICAN PARTY CENSUS DOCUMENT is so important. Next page, please. . .

It all comes down to old-fashioned methods of grassroots contact - phone calls, door-to-door canvassing, postcards and letters to likely Republicans.
Believe me, the Democrat Party is angry. The radical liberals are once again screaming that Republicans stole the election. And if you look at the facts, the Democrats set voter turnout records and fundraising records in 2004 as well.
There is no question, the Democrats will be back with a vengeance.
And historically the party in the White House loses seats in Congress in the off year. So you can bet the Democrats will be rejuvenating their deflated base for 2006 and for the 2008 presidential campaign.

People for the American Way, the Trial Lawyers and MoveOn.org, emboldened by their influence in 2004, are already filling their campaign coffers for 2006. Republican candidates at all levels will need the RNC's help.
So please don't delay in completing your official REPUBLICAN PARTY
CENSUS.
Based on your response, the RNC plans to print and mail a
REPUBLICAN PARTY CENSUS to 5.5 million Republicans so that we can get a statistically reliable sampling of our Party.
But at a cost of $.40 each, our CENSUS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY will cost the RNC over $2.2 million.
So along with your completed GOP CENSUS DOCUMENT, won't you also enclose a contribution of $500, $250, $100, $50 or even $25 to the Republican National Committee?
Your gift of $500 will allow another 1,250 Republicans to take part
our follow -
party activists.
But more important, your contribution of any size will help the RNC unify~ our Party in advance of the 2006 and 2008 elections!
2004 was a watershed year. But it was only one year.
Republicans will lead the nation based on an agenda that represents your views. But we can only accomplish this goal if we maintain our
Republican majorities in the U.S. House and Senate and provide strong support for President Bush's agenda.
And with majorities in both the House and Senate and President Bush
Over, please. . .

in the White House. we've got more at stake- than ever.
Liberal special interests and some unions will continue to hire
hundreds of "professional activists" and put them in place in targeted congressional districts around the country. Working together with the radical environmentalists and ultra liberal groups, these organizers will set their sights on taking back Congress next year.
To counter these efforts. the Republican National Committee has already started working on our campaign Plans to protect our majorities in both the U.S. House and Senate.
We're targeting key precincts where we must rebuild our party and get each and every Republican to the polls.
This is why your GOP CENSUS is so important. We know the best way to energize Republicans is to have a strong agenda that reflects their concerns. And to do that, we need your help.
Won't you please:
1. Complete your specially registered REPUBLICAN PARTY CENSUS and return it to me today?
2. Enclose your most generous gift of $500, $250, $100, $50 or even $25 to help the RNC mail an official REPUBLICAN PARTY CENSUS to 5.5 million Republicans throughout the country?
Remember, your new GOP CENSUS is among the very first to be mailed. President Bush is counting on all of us.

Sincerely,
Ken Mehlman~
Chairman

P.S. It is important that I receive your completed REPUBLICAN PARTY CENSUS back in the next 7 days. Based on your answers, the
RNC will mail an additional 5.5 million GOP CENSUS DOCUMENTS
to your fellow Republicans in the next 4-6 weeks to unify and build our Party for the 2006 mid-term elections and beyond. Please do not delay in completing your new GOP CENSUS, and please make your most generous contribution of $500, $250,
$100, $50 or even $25 to help with our GOP CENSUS project. Thank you.
