Hillary Writes Again

It's been known for weeks that she is financially desperate, bolstered by her letter to me for I have not given her money, however, I do fall into "that" category: White, female, over age 2.

Written after Pennsylvania and before North Carolina, Hillary says: "We are in a neck-and-neck race with Senator Obama...this race is so close that the decision you make could be the difference between winning and losing"! Me, myself and I can choose the next president!

Her letter asks for $100, $50, $35 "or whatever you can afford." When I used to fundraise we were trained to start at the top, for a lower "ask" usually produced just that (if anything).

"With your support today, we can show them once again that we're in this to win." Who is "them"? Now I find myself feeling sorry for her but still, hanging on to my wallet.

Hillary Writes Again

Twice in a week!

The label on the envelope of the second letter says: The Time is Now! (The label on the first envelope from Hillary said: We're going all the way.)

Both, essentially the same letter: Please, please, please send money! "Because of your invaluable support" (I've never sent her a dime) "we embarked on an historic journey to renew America's promise and we are determined to win...Patricia, with so much on the line, will you commit...with a gift of $50? (The first letter asked for $100 or $50. In fundraising school, they teach you to solicit the most on the first ask, and then lower the amounts. Hillary's solicitors follow the norm.)

"...With so much at stake, I know that I can count on you." Then, like the first letter, it asks for bloggers, house party hosts, telephone canvassers, letter writers, voter registrars, or "anything" you can do.

The first letter ended: "When I'm in the White House, I promise to be there for you every day." Please. The lack of sincerity is revolting and continually damages Hillary's image which this finish reinforces.
