  <blurb>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A poll conducted in the Ca-48 district showed that I BEAT THE REPUBLICAN BY 6 POINTS if the voters know where we stand.  The Ca-48 landscape is changing.&lt;br /&gt;

The pll sampled 400  demographically balanced voters in the 48th district (including 47% Republicans).  The margin of error is 5%. 
&lt;br /&gt;
The first question asked of each person was, &amp;ldquo;Who would you vote for?&amp;rdquo;  At the end of the poll, the pollster asked, &amp;ldquo;Now that you know more about both candidates, who would you vote for?&amp;rdquo;
&lt;br /&gt;
The results surprised the pollster, and led him to conclude I CAN WIN THIS ELECTION. 
&lt;br /&gt;
On the &amp;ldquo;first ballot&amp;rdquo; the Republican was ahead of me 46% to 32%. 
&lt;br /&gt;
On the &amp;ldquo;Second Ballot&amp;rdquo; after going through the issues, the response was staggering . . . &lt;strong&gt;43% FOR ME AND 37% FOR THE REPUBLICAN&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that my numbers moved so much is remarkable.  The experts best hope for me was that I would be within 5 to 7 points of Campbell . . . no one thought I would overtake the incumbent &amp;ndash; No one expected me to win.
&lt;br /&gt;
Imagine a truly competitive race for congress in South Orange County.  Imagine a Republican on the run in our area.  Imagine a fully funded campaign that meets the Republican blow for blow and wins.
&lt;br /&gt;
This viability poll was the first step.  It identified issues that moved the voters.  Now I need to conduct a messaging poll to craft the strongest on the issue that moved voters to my side.  With that information, I will put a compelling, persuasive message into the right voters&amp;rsquo; hands.
&lt;br /&gt;
The path to my victory is clear &amp;ndash; I need a second poll  that will cost $30,000.00.  I have to raise the money to do that second poll.  I need to raise $30,000.00 in 30 days to conduct the messaging poll.  Can you help me?</blurb>
