HRC sent me a request for Money today
Included in her pitch was this statement:
"I face a worthy opponent for the Democratic nomination. And right now, he is outraising us and outspending us."
Really?
Open Secrets.org, a site of the Center for Responsive Politics, tracks financial contributions and reports that HRC's campaign has raised about $34 million more than BS's campaign (lots of maxed out donors) and she has raised another $54mil through her SuperPacs.
HRC's request for money came with a response card with a big "YES" to check off before telling her how much I would send. I wrote in a similarly sized "NO." Then I said suggested she ask George Soros, Citibank and Chase. And I asked her not to bother me again.
