Clinton Fundraising E-mail


From Clinton staff:

Dear xxx,

I made a promise to you, and I intend to keep it.

I told you that if you stood up for me, I would always stand up for you. You did more for me than I could have ever imagined, and I’m going to keep my end of the bargain and keep fighting for what we believe in — in the Senate and on the campaign trail, helping to elect a new Democratic president and a bigger Democratic majority in Congress.

That relationship will endure thanks to the remarkable journey you and I have shared. But there’s something else — less endearing and I hope less enduring — that our campaign has left behind: our substantial campaign debt.

I’m so grateful for all you’ve done for me — all the ways you have given your time, energy, and financial resources. But today I am asking once again for your help ridding our campaign of debt so we can keep fighting together.

Contribute today to help us reduce our campaign debt.

As you know, I had to loan money to my campaign at critical moments. I’m not asking for anyone’s help to pay that back. That was my investment and my commitment because I believe so deeply in our cause.

But I do need your help paying the debts we accrued to others over the course of this campaign. We put everything we had into winning this race, and we came just about as close as you can.

I will never regret the energy, effort, and passion we put into one of the closest and most expensive primary contests in history. But I need your help to move on to the next phase of our journey together.

Your contribution today will help us pay down our campaign debt.

You’ve done so much for me over the past 17 months, and I can never thank you enough. But I hope you know how much I appreciate everything you put into our campaign.

Sincerely,
Hillary
Hillary Rodham Clinton

P.S. Everywhere I go, people tell me what a big difference our campaign has made in their lives. Let’s keep working together throughout 2008 and beyond to advance the causes we believe in and to advocate alongside people whose voices need to be heard.

1. sounds good

I hope she's willing to work to put the GOPeople out on their backsides.

I have some problem with helping to pay her back for a loan she made to herself after Obama was on target to win...but each will have to make their own call.

[mod mom]

2. not to mention forcing Obama to spend millions against her personal attacks when he

was obviously the winner.

If some folks want to contribute to her that's their option. I'm sure it's not going to come from the grassroot Obama volunteers.I recently worked a 3 day Juneteenth festival and can honestly say there is a lot of overt anger toward both Clintons from festival goers.

3. Its called the primaries. Get over the hate

6. "Get over the hate"?

Check your sig.

[mod mom]

7. lol.

:rofl:

BTW It's not the person but the corporate policies of the clintons that I hate.

4. She Is Doing The Right Thing, Sir, In Writing Off Her Own Money, And Deserves Some Credit For It

[1Hippiechick]

5. Simple math: 18 million supporters x $2/each = $36M

Question: Why didn't her supporters contribute while she was running?

8. Just happy we are all working as one, we win this as a unit. Let's march on.

[cbayer]

9. Gracious and moving forward.

Those that keep finding fault in every step she makes and continuing to bring up old primary battles are just a drag on our march to victory.
