The advice I give Hillary
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008email from Bill Clinton to me
Dear Shaun,
Give Hillary the resources to win
I’m going to give you the same advice I give to Hillary: block out the distractions — the skeptics, the media coverage, the beltway chatter — and keep your eyes on the prize.
With the news media constantly poring over the minutiae of the campaign, I make sure Hillary never forgets to stay focused on what matters: telling every last American about her vision, her experience, and her commitment to bringing real change to people’s lives.
Let the press worry about the shifting polls and the daily back-and-forth. As long as Hillary stands up for the values we share — and as long as you stand up for her — she’s going to win this race.
It’s a tight race, whether you’re counting delegates or total votes, the kind where one big victory can shift the momentum. We’ve got a race like that coming up in Pennsylvania in just six days, and your immediate action will make a difference. I know that this might be the first donation for a lot of you, but even $5 can help Hillary win.
Contribute $5 now to help Hillary win big in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
We know Senator Obama’s strategy: spend, spend, and spend some more.
His campaign is hoping their spending is enough to win the primary and bring this race to a close. But they weren’t counting on the incredible connection Hillary has made with Pennsylvanians or the remarkable support you have shown her.
Tonight, Hillary will share the stage with Senator Obama in a debate, and Pennsylvania voters will consider their final decisions over the next six critical days.
If you contribute to Hillary’s campaign today, you can be assured of two things: it will go right back out the door to help her win, and it will make a difference in this close race.
Contribute $5 today for our Pennsylvania victory.
Don’t forget: stay focused on what’s important, and we’ll celebrate victory together.
Thank you,
Bill Clinton
