July 8, 2013 Hon. Doug Ose 4013 Park Rd.

Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Congressman Ose: It has come to our attention that you are considering running for Congress in Californias 7th Congressional District. We have also heard that you do not want to see a bloody primary for the Republican nomination. We agree. Thats why we are writing today to encourage you not to run in CA-07. While we respect your commitment to public service, your record in Congress would leave us no choice but to actively oppose your candidacy should you decide to run. As you know, your record in Congress was not conservative. Below are just a few examples of your Leftist stand on issues that conservatives find unbelievable from a professing Republican. x You were a strong supporter of earmark spending and voted for billions in earmarks during your tenure in Congress. (Vote #360, 2000; Vote #631, 2004). x You also showed hostility to reducing the tax burden on American taxpayers by joining with Democrats to try and reduce tax relief. (Vote #75, 1999). x You even voted to give Social Security benefits to illegal aliens. (Vote #439, 2004). These are just a few of the votes that give us concern about your record and more importantly, how you would vote should you somehow get elected to Congress.

Thats why, should you decide to run, we intend to unite to oppose your candidacy and ensure that the Republican nominee is someone who is committed to fighting for these values.
