from Bill Clinton

I'm going to make a prediction.


Hours — maybe minutes if they're quick on their feet — but probably hours after I send this email, Terry's opponent's campaign is going to try and raise some money off of it.

"Bill Clinton's just stepping in," they'll write to their supporters, "because Terry's one of his best friends."

That's absolutely true. Terry is my friend, but my reasons for writing you today go way beyond that.

I'm writing because it makes a difference who the next Governor of Virginia is, and it makes a difference what policies he'll fight for. And I know Terry will fight for the right things as Governor.

He's up against a critical end of quarter deadline at midnight tonight — please give $5 or whatever you can afford to support his campaign.

Terry's got a lot of fight in him, and he'll use it to move this great Commonwealth forward — not back.

He knows that the engine of economic growth is education — so he'll improve and support our public schools and community colleges.

He believes that growing our economy means giving everyone a stake in it — so he'll build a Virginia where everyone has a chance to succeed.

He'll focus on what brings Virginians together, not what divides them. And above all, he'll put job creation first.

If that's a vision you support please do everything you can to elect Terry.

Donate $5 right now to make sure he hits his fundraising goal before midnight.

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton
