    U.S. REP. TOM COLE

Last week we saw what Democrats are offering America: an inexperienced Presidential nominee in a dangerous era; a Vice-Presidential nominee who's the handmaiden to liberal special interest groups.

A Senate Majority leader who declared a war was lost while our soldiers were winning on the battlefield; and a Speaker who promised in 2006 she'd lower the price of gas at the pump by 2008.

Well, four-dollar a gallon gasoline became the norm in America this summer.

And while working Americans were paying the price, Congressional Democrats voted for a five-week paid vacation in August, rather than vote on energy solutions for Americans.

No wonder Congress's approval rating is at 9 percent.

Our strength in Congressional races this year rests at the top of the ticket.

Americans admire John McCain's courage and support his leadership.

The harder you campaign for John McCain, the better our Congressional candidates will run.

With 64 days to go, we must finish the race strong.

Run hard until we cross the finish line.

The future of our party - and our country - depends on the fight we wage through November.

    God bless you.
    And God bless the good and great people of the United States of America.
