Interesting email I got from the Hillary campaign just now.

[DebJ]

Friend --

Let's be honest: being outraised by huge margins is changing this race.

In Nevada, where voters are heading to the caucus today (!), the polls have tightened in part because Sanders has been able to raise more money than us, and has been able to get his word out. But the fundraising numbers the Sanders campaign boasts about aren't just impacting the polls in key states. Those numbers tell a story of a campaign made up of people who are all in for their candidate and are stepping up in a big way.

I know that this team is bigger and stronger than Bernie's -- you're the greatest. But I also know that more of his team has stepped up to own a piece of their success -- and I need everyone here to do the same. Even if you can only give $1, that dollar says that you are in this with Hillary. You’re ready to fight by her side to secure the nomination and protect the White House from the GOP.

Please step up today -- it would mean so much:
Donate $1


PS- I didn't sign up for Hillary's emails, just like I didn't sign up for about 35 other political emails I get every day. But I find her daily begging for a $1 amusing and pathetic and irritating. Takes an awful lot of $1 donations to bring down those PAC totals to get to a lower average, clearly. Bernie got his low totals the honest way, not number manipulating.

Never again settle

3. now now

as long as 27M people all give her $1 she'll be fine..

Or she could spend some of her 100M plus on her own campaign... you know, because she's believes she's worth investing in...

4. It'll cost them a dollar to log in and process all those $1 donations

Their net gain will be zero so the only advantage to them will be to enable them to claim that they too have gazillions of donations from real people and that they haven't only sucked all their campaign money out of Wall Street.

I doubt that they will fool many people with this little trick.

[truebluegreen]

13. Yep. The whole point is to lower the average donation. nt

5. I get those also. We attempted to go to a Hillary event

but when we realized there would be a lot of walking and standing we backed out. But despite hitting that unsubscribe feature they just keep on coming.

Like the way the email suggests Bernie has some kind of a money raising machine. Anyone who hasn't been under a rock for a year knows that is the furthest thing from the truth. We give just like we did with Obama, because this guy offers us hope.

Since I live in Iowa we get lots of glimpses behind the scenes that others would cherish. At a very early Sanders event in a town near me, the two guys traveling with him were at that time his campaign team. Couple of very honest down to earth guys.

Not a machine Hillary, just what the founders envisioned - citizens backing a candidate because of his stances.

6. wealthy individuals tend to be stingy

[safeinOhio]

17. The big bucks crowd

maxed out.

[tk2kewl]

18. there's also not nearly as many of them

and that is why we can win

[Paulie]

7. Thanks Hillary. Yes we are stepping up for Bernie

Absolutely correct.

[jillan]

8. I got it too. Maddie must've run out of dollars.

[notadmblnd]

9. She's just asking for money from Joe Public so she can say- 'lookie, I got grass roots support too'

nt

[Faux pas]

10. Head shaking here

how much money does she really need to lose?

[Jarqui]

11. Poor Hillary

Her corporate supporters are the ones who are going to benefit most from her candidacy. If you think she's really going to deliver $12/hr minimum wage, I've got some swamp land to sell.

Here's Hillary trying to help Walmart in 2007 get foreign workers for well below minimum wage:

Her Super PAC has lots of money and you can be sure big corporate will not let it run dry. Earlier this week, they just bought $5 mil in ads in both Nevada and South Carolina.

Sit back, enjoy the corporate show and save yourself some money. When those corporate guys get done with you, like much of the past middle class, you just might really need it.

12. "more of his team has stepped up to own a piece of their success"

... or maybe he just has a hellavalot more people on his team.

This email REEKS of desperation.

[DebJ]

15. 'this' ^^^^^

And I'm wondering...certainly that will backfire with some of her supporters who might be on the line as to who to support.

[Divernan]

14. Next up: "Send me a goddamned penny! You can afford a goddamned penny!"

And send it by return mail! If you don't send me your goddamned penny by return mail (and put your own damned stamp on it so I can save on the postage!), I'll make Bill stand at the corner of K Street and New York Avenue, shaking a goddamned can at passersby. Is that what you want to make me do?"

When I count up all the snail mail begging letters from her campaign, along with the postage paid return envelopes, which I return sans any contribution, she's spent well over a dollar contacting me. And I'm another person who has never contributed to the DNC, the DSCC, or other national or state wide Democratic oranizations - I always send my contributions directly to the candidates I back.

I do contribute to Bernie Sanders' campaign on an automatic monthly schedule, with occasional extra donations, so his people have my address on file.

I didn't start getting all these mail solicitations from Hillary until after the firewall breach.

16. This is a tactic

To lower their average donation. I don't buy the sincerity at all

[frylock]

19. I'm not kidding!

[DebJ]

20. OMG she sent ANOTHER one at 3pm. ugh. n/t

[LiberalElite]

21. "bigger and stronger than Bernie's"...
