Dear XXXX XXXXXXX,
Finally, the moment we've waited for has arrived.
The 2004 election year has officially begun and, with it, comes our opportunity to assert Democratic ideals in a national campaign. This is our chance to boldly and decisively move America in a new direction.
Let's make the most of it. Let's use every day we have -- and every ounce of energy we can muster -- to win a decisive victory for the Democratic Party -- and America -- this November.
As I write, the contest for the Democratic presidential nomination is entering its most intensive stage. Some of us have chosen to focus all of our attention on preparing the Party for November, on setting the stage for our eventual nominee's success. Others are enthusiastically backing one of the many excellent candidates who have stepped forward.
Whichever path you personally have taken, it is vitally important that you immediately lend your financial support to the critical next phase of the Democratic National Committee's 2004 Victory Action Plan.
Every Democrat from every corner of our Party has to step forward right now and help. There can be no waiting, no hesitation, no thinking that preparing for the general election is something we can get around to once we know who will be our nominee.
I'll tell you this: The Republican National Committee isn't waiting. They're stockpiling tens of millions of dollars with only one purpose in mind: to deliver a devastating political blow to our nominee as soon as one is chosen.
It's the only way they can win -- and we cannot let them get away with it. Our Republican opponents know that they can't possibly succeed if they run on their record. They'd be trying to defend the indefensible.
They can't defend a relentless obsession with tax cuts for the wealthy during an administration with the worst economic record since Herbert Hoover. They can't explain environmental policies that would give polluters more freedom to dirty our air and timber companies more opportunity to ravage the last roadless areas in our national forests.
They can't defend their senseless attacks on civil liberties, needless provocations on civil rights, and dangerous tactics in foreign policy.
They can't defend the many ways they have moved America in the wrong direction and, chances are, they won't try to. Instead they'll go on the attack, tearing down our candidate from day one.
It's our job to help our presidential candidate and other Democrats caught up in tight races fight their way through to victory. We've got to be with them every step of the way, unfailing in our loyalty, unyielding in our determination.
Believe me, we have a powerful story to tell in this election -- and, if you and other key Democratic Party supporters stand by our candidates, we'll get that story out to voters all across America -- and we'll win.
But it won't be easy. The Republicans will have over a half a billion dollars at their disposal -- more money than any presidential campaign in history -- and a willingness to do whatever it takes to prevail.
Let's show them what we're made of -- demonstrate how a Party acts when it has the strength of its convictions.
They'll try to win by disguising their ideology and intentions. But we'll carry the day by proclaiming our principles and making it crystal clear where we intend to lead America.
They'll try to win by avoiding the truth. But we'll shout it from the rooftops.
I know you have done a great deal already to support our Party as we prepare for one of the most critical elections in history. But, I urge you to get our 2004 efforts off to a strong start by sending an immediate donation in as generous an amount as you can possibly afford.
We need your energy, your spirit, your determination -- and your financial support. Please respond as quickly and as generously as you can.
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton
P.S. I can tell you from personal experience that there is nothing more heartening to a presidential nominee than to know that committed Democrats have devoted the time, energy and financial resources to prepare for the general election. Your decision to lend critical support in early 2004 is absolutely essential to our success in November.
