In his letter, Gingrich states:
"There is no doubt our nation faces significant challenges in the future. Everyday new realities confront us and challenge every area of our lives. Nowhere is this more evident than in California. Those challenges can become opportunities if we have tough, principled, and committed leaders to tackle them head on.

"With one of the most diverse and dynamic economies in the world, California has tremendous promise but needs a new generation of leaders. These leaders must have a vision of the future that offers big solutions to the challenges we face. We need leaders that will be a strong voice for reform by utilizing technology, innovation and free-market competition to inspire transformation. That is why I am asking you to support my friend, Nathan Fletcher, for the California State Assembly.

"Nathan is just the type of leader who understands the challenges facing the people of California. Nathan is the kind of true patriot we need fighting for us in the legislature. He is a decorated Marine combat veteran, dedicated community activist and business owner who exemplifies the principles we need in public office right now. He has spent countless hours working with candidates, parties, and causes not only in California and across the nation, but around the world.

"Now we need to put him to work fighting to transform government in California. Whether the issue is controlling spending, reforming healthcare, building infrastructure, strengthening education or improving the business climate, we need a fighting reformer like Nathan Fletcher in Sacramento.

"Nathan Fletcher has the experience, dedication and determination we need in the state legislature. Having fought on the front lines of the War on Terror, Nathan understands the tremendous importance of securing our nation's borders. As a State Assemblyman, Nathan will renew efforts to make our streets safer and protect our quality of life.

"As the founder of a small business, Nathan understands the need to revive California's economy and he will oppose tax increases and fight unnecessary regulation. He will also restore patriotism in the classroom so that future generations will always appreciate the greatness of America and the value of freedom.

"The people of California need a leader like Nathan Fletcher in Sacramento fighting to protect taxpayers and working to make America stronger."
