Walt,
Last week, our team told you about
the New York Times attacking me for receiving four traffic tickets over the last 20 years. Now, today, the Times is out with a story
suggesting that I’m not rich enough to be president!
According to the
Times, “Rubio entered
public life in a deep financial hole of his own making.” Sounds pretty
bad, doesn’t it? But what
exactly was this deep financial hole of my own making? My student loans!
I didn’t have the money for college, so I had to take out loans. And
now the Times is attacking me for it.
As I have said many times, I am not
poor, but I’m not rich either. It’s true, I didn’t make over $11 million last year giving speeches to special interests. And we
don’t have a family foundation that has raised $2 billion from Wall Street and foreign interests.
While
we are truly blessed, Jeanette and I have to keep an eye on our family
budget to send our kids to Christian schools
and pay our mortgage. Like millions of Americans, I had to take out
student loans to pay for college and law school, and only paid them off
recently.
But the biggest debt I have is to America. For this is not just the nation I was born in, it's the country that changed the history
of my family.
Look, I know these attacks are part of running for president, but the
fact remains that we can’t rely on the media to tell our campaign’s story. And that’s why I need your help.
Your support ensures that we have the resources to run our positive, serious, ideas-driven campaign without having
to worry about the silly media attacks against me.
I appreciate your
help.
Sincerely,
Marco Rubio
