too easy with our money.

My Dear Fellow Conservative:

Stace  

NelsonU S SEN TE

I recently announced my candidacy for the U.S. Senate. It is critical that we elect "real"

conservatives who have the courage of their convictions

In just a moment I ll tell you why I m running and why I believe I will win the Republican

nomination and win in November 2014.

But first, I need you to do three things right away

1 Sign and return the enclosed pledge to become part of my Stand With Stace network andsupport real conservative representation for South Dakota.

2) Use the enclosed Support Stace Nelson for Senate address labels on your mail right away. Let

everyone know you believe I am the right solution for South Dakota.

3) Senft back a financial gift to help raise the funds I need to secure our victory.

Now, let me tell you a little bit about who I am and why I am the right choice to serve you as the

next Senator from South Dakota.

I am a proud 4th generation South Dakotan. On my father 's side, my ancestors came to Americafrom Denmark in the late 1800's in hopes of a better life and the prospects of private property

ownership. They soon settled north of Lake Andes, worked the land, raised a family, and became good,

patriotic citizens who loved this country.

Workingtlie arn.t and farmmg 1 a arge pa of my heritage. It also plays a oig role in my des ire

to be a true public servant for the hard working people of South Dakota. I know firsthand how hard

South Dakota's ranchers, cattlemen, and farmers work on behalf of their families. I know how important

their work is - not just for South Dakotans, but for our entire country.

I credit my parents for instilling in me strong morals, work ethic, respect for private property,

and a sense of civic duty. My mother raised us and worked on our small family farm. My father was

both a farmer and public servant. I am proud of the hard work we accomplished on our small farm and

for my grandfather on his. It taught me the South Dakota farmer work ethic and ingenuity can overcome

anything

Before becoming a renowned South Dakota State Trooper, my father volunteered and served in

the Army during the Cold War years. Before him, my five uncles served in the Army, two of my great

uncles made the ultimate sacrifice for our country; one as an MIA at the battle of Okinawa, and the other

from injuries in Germany during WWII. My great grandfather served in the Union Army during the

Civil War and was a POW at the infamous Andersonville Confederate prison. Now my children carry on

that tradition with my daughter serving in the Navy, and my son in the Coast Guard.

My family was proud that after graduating from Mitchell High School in 1985 I followed the

family tradition ofmilitary service, and joined the U.S. Marines .

The Benefit of 3 i years of service as a Marine taught me to be a leader and a dedicated law

enforcement officer. t set the foundation for me to become a successful aval Criminal Investigative

Service (NCIS) Special Agent and Investigator.

In addition to cases I worked as an NCIS Special Agent and Investigator, I also taught numerous

classes to tens of thousands ofmilitary members, dependents, DOD civilians, and allied personnel. I

was featured in several videos, including the NCIS video "NarcoTerrorism - The Threat to National

Security," and the Oscar-nominated documentary "The Invisible War."

My conservative voting record is unmatched. As a South Dakota State Representative, I held true

to the principles of limited government and family values by voting to:

Fight abortions of unborn children.

Increase protection ofproperty rights from state government.

Prohibit employment of illegal aliens, and enforce penalties for those who hire them.

Support school choice of parents who want to educate their children at home or private schools.

Protect your 2nd Amendment rights.Oppose increases in taxes, fees, spending, and expansion of state government.

That's who I am and why I am running

Like you, I m tired o career politicians who have lost touch with the people who elected

them to serve

. . . I m tired o these career politicians who only serve themselves

  I 'm tired of professional career politicians who tirelessly work to get re-elected.

Send me to the U.S. Senate, and I will:

• Serve you honestly and as your public servant.

• Work to reduce a government that is too big, too intrusive and too easy with our money.

• Demand that Congress respect and protect our Constitution, our values, our rights, and the

American family.

We need common sense dedicated leadership in Washington.

we're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan Americans are forced to purchase, and fined if we

don't. This plan is meant to cover at least ten million more people, but fails to add a single new doctor.

Instead, it provides for 16,000 new IRS agents who have recently demonstrated their objective

and professional integrity.

t was written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, and passed by a

Congress that didn't read it - and who exempted themselves from it

We'll be taxed for four years before any of Obamacare's benefits take effect. The politicians

overseeing its implementation are the same politicians who bankrupted Social Security and Medicare,

Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, and the Post Office. To top it off, our country is too broke to finance it

It's time to take America back; to the future where our nation once again is vibrant,

robust and alive.

But I need your help

Together we can turn things around.

Please Stand With Stace" by making an immediate contribution of $35 , $50, $100, $1,000 or

$2,014 (symbolic of the year I am elected to serve you in the U.S. Senate).

Every dollar received early in a campaign isworth $3 to $5 as we close in on Election Day. As you

may know, the Federal Election Commission requires

regular campaign finance reporting. These reports arc

made public and often scoured by groups and individuals,

eager to size up the strengths and weaknesses of various

candidates' campaigns.

Financial support plays a huge role in national

groups ' decisions regarding whether a candidate is

worthy of support.

They want to put their money behind a serious candidate who has a real organization and base

of support. The true yardstick will be how many supporters we ve secured and the total number of

dollars raised.

That's why I must ask you to send your support today.

We must make sure that the Republican establishment doesn't give us another losing ticket

for South Dakota and a "do-nothing" Senator in Washington.

f you can send the maximum allowed by law - $2,600- it would be a true blessing. Or perhaps

you d like to send $2,014 - symbolic of the year I will be elected to serve. But if that's just too much

for you, I understand. Gifts of $35, $50, $100, or whatever you can afford to send, all make a big

difference. Please send your gift today along with your signed pledge.

I implore you. Don't sit this race out on the sidelines. That's what the Left and Republican

establishment want.

Please sign and return the enclosed pledge to become part of my "Stand \Vi th Stace" network in

support of real conservative representation for South Dakota and America.

Use the enclosed Support Stace Nelson for Senate address labels on your mail right away.

Help me increase my name recognition and tell everyone you know that you believe I am the right

solution for South Dakota and America.

And send back a financial gift to help me win this crucial contest.

Whether you can send a contribution of ust $35, or perhaps $100, $1,000, $2,014 or the

maximum of $2,600, your support would be greatly appreciated.

With your help today, I ll fight on for the principles we both believe in.

J i i J A l ~tace Nelson

State Representative (Dist. 19)

P S Don t sit back and let the Republican Establishment pick another "donothing" GOP Senate

candidate You can help change the future and make sure both South Dakota and America has

solid conservative representation in our nation's capital.

least $35.

IT'S TIME TO TAKE AMERICA BACK We need common sense leadership in Washington.

Please read my enclosed pledge to you. f elected, I promise to fight on your behalf in the
