I received an email from Dave Brat's campaign this evening. I won't post the entire email, but here is a portion.
When I read the part I highlighted in red, I thought about Eric Cantor. I don't recall him ever attending 'grassroots' events like this. I'm reasonably positive that he never went to a gun show, and I never heard of him going to open public events like the Stars and Stripes Spectacular. Hell, the entire time he was my Congressman I NEVER ONCE received a reply to my emails to him regarding issues. Honestly, I got more responses from the Democrat legislators then I did from Cantor.
And people outside of VA-7 think Cantor lost solely because of 'immigration.
I'm doing my part, too. I'm out on the campaign trail every day. Just this week, I met with business groups, the Louisa Tea Party, and gun owners at the gun show in Fredericksburg. I shook hundreds of hands at the Stars and Stripes Spectacular in Spotsylvania and had dinner with about 30 grassroots supporters in Louisa. My focus on unifying Republicans and folks of all stripes around bringing fiscal sanity back to Washington has resulted in grassroots and financial support from across the Seventh District and beyond.
Thank you for standing with us through the primary, and I would be honored to have you stand with us in the battle ahead.

Laura and I are so grateful for your support and generosity.
