When the clock is running down and the game is on the line, the team huddle is one of the most important parts of the game for a quarterback. It's the last chance he has to pull his team together and inspire them to victory.
As the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys and U.S. Naval Academy Midshipmen, I learned early on that everyone in the huddle was looking to me to display confidence that we would win. They can see it in your eyes - and it's often the difference between victory and defeat.
If you look in John McCain's eyes, you see a man ready to win and confident in victory. He is a leader-- focused on getting his message out and energized for this important stretch in the campaign.
The fourth quarter of this year is going to be the most important in this campaign. That's why it's important for us not to stand on the sidelines and watch - it's time to get in the game right now. We can't do our job in the fourth quarter unless we play hard in the third.
The end of the third quarter of this year on September 30th marks another important fundraising deadline, and it's crucial that John McCain has the
resources necessary to win heading into the final stretch of the campaign.
Whether we like it or not the national press uses these fundraising numbers as a benchmark on how well the campaign is doing.
These next seven days are the last chance we have as a team of McCain supporters to huddle up and get ready for this fundraising deadline. And
the most important way we can show our support for John McCain is by making an immediate online donation. I hope you'll join me in making the most generous contribution you can to John McCain.
America is at a crossroads of an important moment in our
history, and I know John McCain has the experience and vision necessary to lead our country.
I'm counting on you to respond to this email before this crucial deadline on September 30th. Please don't delay in making your generous contribution using this secure online form.
The clock is ticking and we're getting ready to make a final
push to victory - will you join us?
Sincerely,
Roger Staubach
P.S. Football requires a team effort. So does a campaign. The
best quarterback in the world can't do it alone. In John McCain our team has a leader we can be proud of and have confidence in - but he can't do it alone.
It's our turn to step up right now and show him that we're doing our part to make him the next President of the United States. Many thanks.
