----- Original Email from Hillary Clinton -----
From: Hillary Clinton
Date: Saturday, December 19, 2015
Subject: I need your help.

Friend --

I don't know how else to say it except by saying it: We could lose the nomination.

The other candidates on that stage tonight would like nothing more than for our team to sit back and relax right now, but I am not taking anything for granted.

You can't either, I need your help.

Let's show the world that we're going to fight hard, secure the Democratic nomination, and go on to the White House. I know you'll step up when I need you. Chip in $1 today:
DONATE $1

Thanks,

Hillary

Smaller average donations would help her claim to be supported by "regular people".

and ... I could go on but, you get the picture.

I put my donation to Bernie on my cc but, in my heart of hearts enough is enough is enough.

So, I put my money where my heart is.

Hillary face it, you and Martin are now running to be Bernie's veep.

Hillary needs to go spend time with the grand kids and her foundation. I would like to see and end to her direct involvement in politics.

It's time for change and not only will she not deliver, she will continue to fight against it.

Hilllary in the veep position will get us more cross over votes. Not sure, need to talk to my R friends about all this.

Also, we will need to see who ends up being on the R ticket.

There is a widespread rabid hate of HRC across all party lines.

It is not worth the risk of putting her on the ticket in any position, especially when we have so many solid progressives to choose from.

In any event, I think the question is moot. I don't see Bernie selling us out and putting HRC in as VP. Additionally I don't see HRC taking it if offered.

I assume it must have if it's intended to reach her supporters since we all know they don't have computers or internet access.

I send checks to Bernie and I don't write checks for piddling amounts. The intent certainly is obvious.

Another stupid mistake. Should have been at least $5. Or, maybe they could have made it a sale...99 cents...that would really pull in the bargain hunters.
