Bill Clinton sent me an email

[durrrty libby]

and he wants to raise One Million in One Week. Can he do it? I think so



"Am I enthusiastic about my wife's campaign for president? You bet I am. I know her better than anybody on earth, and she's got the best combination of mind and heart of everybody I've ever known.

All across the country, Hillary is campaigning with the signature wisdom, grace, and humor that make her a great candidate. I know that if we all work hard enough, those same traits will make her an even better president.

You and I know something about waging and winning presidential campaigns.

Winning the White House takes persistence, energy and effort -- not just from the candidate, but from a massive network of grassroots supporters.

Hillary's campaign is off to a great start. And this week, we're going to help take it to another level. Our goal: to demonstrate the range and breadth of Hillary's support by raising one million dollars in grassroots donations in a week's time.

Will you help me get our "One Week, One Million" campaign off to a powerful start?

Look, with Republicans using everything in their arsenal to stop her campaign, Hillary is going to need every one of us to do everything that we can for her.

During eight years in the White House, Hillary and I faced a constant barrage of attacks from Washington Republicans. No insult was off-limits. No tactic was too low. They threw everything they could at us -- but we beat them time and time again.

The attacks on Hillary haven't stopped, and she hasn't stopped winning. You know how they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger? Well, Hillary is as strong as they come.

Let's make this a week when we demonstrate that her campaign is strong, too. Strong enough to sustain Hillary's run for the presidency through thick and thin. Strong enough to win.

I can't wait to join Hillary on the campaign trail and talk to people about what a great president she's going to be. She is a tireless fighter and a brilliant born leader, and I have no doubt the American people will make her our first woman president.

Over the next week, you'll hear from some other friends and admirers of Hillary. I hope you'll join them in making our One Week, One Million campaign a success. But, most importantly, I hope you'll act right now to get this dramatic display of grassroots support off the ground with a big outpouring for Hillary on the first day."

Thank you so much for your support. Hillary and I couldn't do it without you.

Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

1. He send it to me, and to a bunch of other people

who signed up for Hillary's newsletter as well.

2. Maybe they can do it -- but it will be without my help.

The more I see of Hillary's campaign, the less enthusiastic I become.

5. Lest we forget that most of the "free trade" agreements fucking us over now...

were signed by President Clinton during his Presidency.

9. Fuckin' A.

3. Hotline posted about this:

17. Interesting photo choice for Bill's email. Wonder why Hil's DU supporters have not posted it.

[Tellurian]

4. Yes, I got mine this am..

at first glance, I thought the pm was from a poster at DU pulling my leg! :hi:

[Tellurian]

14. Done and done..

Go Hillary!

6. I will listen to Bill

and donate... but to Obama's campaign. :)

[SharonRB]

10. LOL

I'm working in the Draft Gore movement and he's the only one I'll donate to at this point. If he doesn't run, we'll see later.

[Mojorabbit]

7. He did not send me one but

Obama did...:)

[SharonRB]

8. I got it, too

I love Bill, but I won't be sending Hillary any money.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

11. So far HRC has raised 214k

This is just in one day. Reminds of Howard Dean and his bat :). http://www.hillaryclinton.com/

12. Al Gore could raise a million on a saturday!

Just say YES AL :hi:

Hillary's already in bed with her DLC - corporate donors. I'd give money to every other DEM candidate before I'd give a dime to Hillary.

Though I'd gladly vote for Bill again if I could :)

13. Bill has lived a sheltered life...

"I know her better than anybody on earth, and she's got the best combination of mind and heart of everybody I've ever known."

:rofl:

15. Seems neither Hillary nor Obama need our money except for postage.

They are successfully raising it from the Highrollers and will ignore the Public Financing. They don't need my few coins. And, I already gave so much for the Mid-Terms, I'm tapped out right now. I don't think I will be giving until close to 2008 and who will care at that point what I give or who I am.

:shrug:

16. Bill owes me at least a million ...

..in lost wages and opportunity.
Perot had him pegged. Chickens! qwaaakkkk

[blm]

18. Repubs using "everything in their arsenal to stop her" ??? They're her top promoters.

Even Scaife is saying another Cklinton in office will be OK with him.

Why is Bill PRETENDING otherwise? There are barely a handfull of GOP players targeting Hillary. The biggest ones are giving her a pass.

[flpoljunkie]

19. Yes. We need to ask ourselves now why Scaife and other big GOP players are giving Hillary a pass.

[MrMickeysMom]

20. Could it possible be because there will be less of a fight?

This would because of the shared values of a moderate Republican, and Democrat, should the race come down to that.

On the other hand, could it be due to having so many awful things to sling toward the end. Gee Whiz. Maybe that's why they have to start NOW, given the inflation dollars that it will cost to out-shit sling each other and ending up looking like another close race.

Which may be stolen.

21. Congrats on your 100th post! What's needed is for Congress to require networks to provide free or

reduced rates for the inevitable ads that will be run. We own the air waves, and we ought to demand they perform this public service for our elections.

This provision was a part of Senator John Kerry's 1997 CLEAN MONEY, CLEAN ELECTIONS ACT. I wish he would reintroduce it after the current recess. Senator Kerry may well be criticized, but who best to know how awful our election process--the dialing for dollars to run television campaign ads--has become.

Congress could do this, but they do not want to level the playing field for any competitors. It is for them, not for our democracy, that they cling to our thoroughly corrupted election process.
