214 Massachusetts Avenue

Dear Michael, This is a challenging time to be a conservative.  Fresh off an electoral defeat, some of our allies on Capitol Hill seem to be compromising on their core convictions. Meanwhile, our views are demonized and mischaracterized in the popular culture. We can see the results of liberals' big-government policies in the "fiscal cliff." Like many Americans, you're probably wondering if your taxes will go up in 2013. It's not just the income tax, but the payroll tax, investment taxes, the death tax, and even new Obamacare taxes. And the future of deductions for charitable giving and mortgage interest may be at stake too. As you consider your year-end giving, I encourage you to consider making a tax-deductible contribution to The Heritage Foundation. Your gift will help advance the principles that made America great and give us the resources to lead our movement in 2013. And in these uncertain times, taking advantage of a tax deduction today could help your bottom line. While our political leaders dither and bicker, The Heritage Foundation provides solid, conservative leadership. In January, we will release "America's Opportunity," a point-by-point plan for lawmakers to get America back on course. And in April, we will welcome Senator Jim DeMint as our new president--an exciting development for our movement. Please make your year-end gift online by December 31 using your credit card. If you prefer, you can send a check to: The Heritage Foundation 214 Massachusetts Avenue, NE Washington, DC 20002 You might also consider making a gift of stocks or other securities. If you have any questions at all about your year-end giving options, please do not hesitate to call us at (800) 546-2843. Thank you for all your support. Sincerely, Edwin J. Feulner, Ph.D. President
