four steps

Dear john,

You and I both want Hillary to win. So let me be frank about the challenge our campaign faces right now.

It couldn't be any simpler than this: we cannot be competitive politically unless we are competitive financially -- and right now we are at a financial disadvantage. The Obama campaign is already spending more than $1 million on an aggressive ad buy in Pennsylvania. For us to win, we have to:

• Fund critical voter contact efforts in Pennsylvania.
• Get our ads on the air in Pennsylvania's six separate media markets to avoid being overwhelmed by a $1 million, four-day Obama campaign TV ad blitz.
• Produce a massive get-out-the-vote effort as April 22 approaches.
• Put more resources into our campaign in Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oregon, Puerto Rico, and West Virginia so that we can capitalize on our momentum coming out of Pennsylvania.

Despite the spirited support from Hillary's best supporters, including you, we are still being outraised and outspent by the Obama campaign. He outspent us by more than $10 million in February alone. Let's close the gap so Hillary can win in Pennsylvania, keep on winning, and be our next president.

Contribute today to help Hillary win.

Just like Hillary, you've worked hard to get us this far. We cannot let up our efforts now and let this race be decided by a shortfall of funds.

One thing I know for sure about Hillary -- if we give her the support she needs, she will never let us down, not as a candidate and not as president. She'll work just as hard for you in the White House as she is on the campaign trail.

Let's match Hillary's efforts with our own. Contribute to help us raise as much as we can by midnight tonight.

I appreciate everything you are doing for Hillary so much. Let's keep working and winning.

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton
