[DarienComp]

3. "Are you paying too much for your car insurance?"

5. This is the suicide intervention line isn't it??? I'm just so depressed....

..I need someone to reassure me. Everything I try to do lately is for naught..

[DJ13]

6. "Oh dear God, were begging you.........!"

[polichick]

7. "We need your help - it would take a taser and a straitjacket to get her out of this race!"

[habitual]

8. hello ______.

listen all we're asking is for you to continue to hold off on making any public decision until we have more time to see if any disaster will fall upon the other side. It could happen and that is what we are shooting for. We have 100 people doing everything they can to come up with SOMETHING that will bring this man down and when we do, you don't want to find yourself already having tossed your hat in for the disaster that is about to happen. This way, you can come out in the end with a clean endorsement for Clinton and we have the time to make this happen. You owe us!

(threw in the 'you owe us' as a personal feeling that i have that they are holding a lot over a lot of peoples heads right now!!)

Mr Ickes? I am just calling to let you know I am resigning effective immediately. It has been good working with you, and I hope things go well for you, but I need more in the way of job stability and future potential. Thanks again, and have a great weekend.
