View this email in your browser Dear Patriots: The choice for US Senate in November can not be more clear. We have a contest between do nothing Senator Mark Warner, and a true American patriot in Daniel Gade. Here is a transcript from Gade's 1st ad, and you can see that this man loves America, Subscribe Past Issues Translate RSS loves Virginia, loves the Constitution, and wants to do the right thing: My entire life, I’ve faced forks in the road. From West Point to leading men into combat to not letting my injuries define me. And the right choice has never been the easy one. Right now, we are at a fork in the road as a country. Do we choose divisiveness and a status quo that isn’t working for us? Or do we elect leaders, who will make the right choice, even when it’s the harder one. That’s been the story of my life. And now I am running for United States Senate because I’m not done serving. I am Daniel Gade and I approve this message. Gade is right on all the issues - from being an advocate for life, to having attended many 2A rallies and understanding that an armed society is a safe society. Mark Warner on the other hand, has never met a tax increase he didn't like, still supports a failed Obama Care, has done nothing to help his people during the COVID-19 crisis, and votes nearly 100% of the time with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.

  • “If I Am Elected to the United States Senate, I Will Serve No More Than Two Terms
    “If I am elected to the United States Senate, I will serve no more than two terms. I don’t want to be a lifelong politician,” Mark Warner. Fellow Virginians, veterans, and friends, Mark Warner has misused his office, abandoned any pretense of leadership, and betrayed the people of Virginia. As President Dwight D. Eisenhower would say, leadership is not only accepting responsibility to carry out a mission, but also accepting responsibility for how that mission is carried out. Mark Warner’s failure in both areas reflects his malfeasance as a Senator and his violation of the trust of the people of Virginia. Mark Warner abused his position as the ranking member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) to promote an illegal partisan political attempt by disgraced senior career officials such as former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of Central Intelligence John Brennan, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to undermine and topple the Trump Administration using false information and abusing our intelligence assets against opponents. Worse, he also actively participated in that effort. Mark Warner knew from the outset that the hyped “Russia collusion” allegation was not credible and was based on Russian disinformation materials bought and pushed by the Clinton campaign as a smear -- a fact known both to Russian and American intelligence at the highest ranks at the time. Mark Warner also knew that this attack was a politically-motivated operation within the higher ranks of career officials aimed at undermining and hobbling the incoming administration. Yet where was Mark Warner as these acts were committed? We know that all along as vice chair of SSCI, he saw the discredited documents and heard the background briefings and knew they had been discredited – yet he promoted the falsehood and damaged American security.
