Gov. Pawlenty is headed to Washington D.C. will appear at the National Republican Senatorial Committee meetings Fall meetings on November 16th and 17th. In an e-mail to supporters, Pawlenty urged donations to the political arm of Senate Republicans:
A few weeks ago, I launched Freedom First PAC, an organization dedicated to turning back the growth of the federal government and renewing the promise of freedom. America is successful in large part because we are the freest people the world has ever known. These freedoms are now being threatened by the rapid expansion of our government led by liberal Democrats in Washington.
The NRSC is committed to electing more Republicans to the Senate to stem this encroachment on our liberties, and that's why I'm pleased to be speaking at their Fall Meeting held in Washington, D.C. November 16th and 17th. I look forward to sharing the message of Freedom First with supporters from across America who are helping us rebuild our conservative ranks in 2010.
This is Pawlenty's latest out of state trip on the schedule. Here's a map of where he's been since he announced he wasn't running for third term on June first.
