Note from Hillary - Last Night

I thought everyone might like to see a note I got from Hillary this afternoon. Some of us (MassLib, Ed & New Hampster) will be planting signs, knocking on doors and getting out the vote in New Hampshire. Others (like me) can't get away from our commitments here at home (kids to care for, jobs that won't allow us to take time off). If you can't drop everything to head up to New Hampshire, you can still lend a hand. She needs our help folks - if you're serious about helping her make it to the convention, please consider donating what you can now going in to the next battle in New Hampshire!

"We've got more work to do." That was my first reaction as I saw last night's election results come in. And today in New Hampshire, I'm pounding the pavement, looking for every last vote in next Tuesday's primary.

With your help, we can make it clear that the Democratic Party needs a nominee who can go the distance in a long, challenging campaign to win the White House, and that the American people need a president who can be an effective champion for them on day one.

Iowa sounded the opening bell of this campaign. New Hampshire is only four days away -- and the pace only quickens from there.

The stakes couldn't be any higher. Events couldn't be moving any faster. With everything on the line, let's show them what we're made of.

Please contribute now.

You and I know just what to do at times like this. Work harder than everyone else and rely on each other every step of the way. If we do that, I know we'll win.

You've already done so much. But today, I'm turning to you to help fund crucial activities in New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina and beyond.

Make a contribution today to help me win.

We're not just working to prevail over other candidates in a hard-fought contest for the Democratic nomination. This is about more than that. It's about our unyielding determination to reclaim our country from an administration that has failed us, betrayed our trust, and undermined our values.

That's why these next few days matter so much. I'm doing everything I can to drive our campaign to victory and I know you will do the same.

With your help, we can win. Make a contribution now.

Let's keep working to change America.

All the best,
Hillary

One more way to help... If you're in the Virginia, DC or Maryland area please consider taking the day off on Tuesday to lend a hand at the campaign's Headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. The office is just two blocks from the Ballston Metro Stop (Orange Line). To get plugged in to all the action...

4420 North Fairfax Drive
Arlington, VA 22203
Phone: 703-469-2008

Thanks for all you're doing guys. Together, we can each make this happen in our own way, and in our own neck of the woods. If we all do our part - we'll be looking forward to Hillary's inauguration this time next year!

I *will* be donating this weekend and I've been having some ideas for the campaign for example:

I think now is the time to do a big media campaign a/k/a commercials (not on any interview shows they're dreary and they s*ck). Have a commercial that show Hillary first with Elvis Costello and then with Wesley Clark. Make it funny and sincere. Show it everywhere. I think you have to work nationally, not state by state.

I agree with my comment of above :-) and think another commercial should show HRC on some of her international travels, participating committee meetings and also her talking about SCHIP. Also, Hillary talking directly to the audience about things.

A *big* advantage for Hillary is her knowledge, wisdom, and experience.

People are concerned about getting another Dubya and are not sure about an unknown quantity such as Mr. Obama. I believe a lot of people would find it relieving to see evidence of HRC's available competence and compassion.
