Slick Willy Strikes Again...

Former President Clinton recently sent out a mass e-mail to jump start the "One Week, One Million" fundraising campaign for Hillary's scratch at the presidency. In this e-mail Bill tries to get people excited by describing her strengths and how anxious he is to get out on the campaign trail with her; and of course, claiming she will need the money to fend off vicious and unfounded attacks from Republicans, just like during his presidency. He tries to connect with the recipients saying, "You and I know something about waging and winning presidential campaigns."

Of course this whole message sounds like a crock to me. Bill ends his little letter by saying, "Hillary and I couldn't do it without you." It is obvious that Hillary knows she is not well liked, mostly due to her cold, coarse demeanor (not to mention her often contradictory, socialist views) so she tries to use her "old buddy" Bill to try and connect with their base by making them think he will be sharing the future presidency with her. We all know he would love nothing more than to steal the show, which she may let him do from time to time in hopes of pulling in more voters. But in the end, if she wins, she will thank him for his services in the style of a praying-mantis.

Anyone who can believe Slick Willy's message, especially about Washington Republicans' baseless, insulting attacks while he was president, clearly do not remember his insulting actions in the oval office. Keep on campaigning Bill, those of us smart enough know you and your spouse for what you are--deceitful, opportunistic and unpatriotic--and we will remember that on election day.

Dear _______,

Am I enthusiastic about my wife's campaign for president? You bet I am. I know her better than anybody on earth, and she's got the best combination of mind and heart of everybody I've ever known.

All across the country, Hillary is campaigning with the signature wisdom, grace, and humor that make her a great candidate. I know that if we all work hard enough, those same traits will make her an even better president.

You and I know something about waging and winning presidential campaigns.

Winning the White House takes persistence, energy and effort -- not just from the candidate, but from a massive network of grassroots supporters.

Hillary's campaign is off to a great start. And this week, we're going to help take it to another level. Our goal: to demonstrate the range and breadth of Hillary's support by raising one million dollars in grassroots donations in a week's time.

Will you help me get our "One Week, One Million" campaign off to a powerful start?

Look, with Republicans using everything in their arsenal to stop her campaign, Hillary is going to need every one of us to do everything that we can for her.

During eight years in the White House, Hillary and I faced a constant barrage of attacks from Washington Republicans. No insult was off-limits. No tactic was too low. They threw everything they could at us -- but we beat them time and time again.

The attacks on Hillary haven't stopped, and she hasn't stopped winning. You know how they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger? Well, Hillary is as strong as they come.

Let's make this a week when we demonstrate that her campaign is strong, too. Strong enough to sustain Hillary's run for the presidency through thick and thin. Strong enough to win.

I can't wait to join Hillary on the campaign trail and talk to people about what a great president she's going to be. She is a tireless fighter and a brilliant born leader, and I have no doubt the American people will make her our first woman president.

Over the next week, you'll hear from some other friends and admirers of Hillary. I hope you'll join them in making our One Week, One Million campaign a success. But, most importantly, I hope you'll act right now to get this dramatic display of grassroots support off the ground with a big outpouring for Hillary on the first day.

Thank you so much for your support. Hillary and I couldn't do it without you.

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton
