Here is a letter that I sent today to friends and family in support of our candidate Barack Obama.  Feel free to modify it and use the text yourself, or write your own and post it here for others to read.  But please give, and then encourage others to give.  

Apparently the GOP doesn't know what organizing is.

Let's show them.

My letter is after the fold...

Politico is reporting that Barack Obama raised $25 million on the last day of the month.  

His one-day haul represents nearly half of his monthly total and more than Republican rival John McCain generated for the entire month. During the month, McCain did not have a single day in which he raised a million dollars.

Overall, Obama raised $54 million for his campaign in June, compared to $22 million for McCain.

In addition to fundraising, the June expenditures offered insight into the different tacks the candidates are taking toward winning the presidency in November

This is great news, Obama has used his vast pool of donors to achieve this great feat and I give kudos to the man.  It is great to be a Democrat!

This is just a small diary with a few words to help push some good candidates and some good ActBlue pages.

I have not been able to give anything for quite a while. I gave a small amount to two worthy ActBlue pages today.

First off, I gave to MyDD's Road to 60 ActBlue page.

They have a great list of candidates that are worthy to support.

Between now and the election, we'll be profiling and targeting several Senate races that themselves serve as the NRSC's firewall against our getting to 60 seats. They will include seats that the GOP simply should not lose and if they do, then you know 60 is within reach.

Our hope is, with your help, to turn longshots into competitive races and competitive races into top tier ones - and above all to make the Republicans spend money to defend and retain seats where they've never had to before. We are going to douse that firewall.

Second, I gave to Washington Woman's We The People ActBlue page.

Today Hillary Clinton sent out an email and video message to her online supporters. Hill fans, Hillary still needs our support to retire campaign debt.

You have been such an inspiration to me during this campaign -- your commitment and your boundless enthusiasm made everything we accomplished in the last 17 months possible. So as I continue to make sure your voices are heard, I wanted to say a special thank you for all the hard work you did on my behalf.

Click here to watch my video message to you.

Thank you for everything,
Hillary

Hillary stayed in the race because of us and for the people. We gave her the financial support she needed to keep going and to finish the journey we all started together. So, her debt is our debt and we need to take care of it. I contacted her campaign finance office last week to verify how/where we can send contributions to help retire the campaign debt. I wrote a diary last week with details on how you can help Hillary retire campaign debt, but here are the details again:

1. Donate to Hillary online at the Hillary Clinton For President campaign website. There are also other bloggers fund raising to retire campaign debt. Alegre's Corner is raising funds to retire campaign debt. Also, check out the Forum, Heidi Li's Potpourri, or Lady Boomer NYC.

2. Mail checks to HRC's presidential campaign finance office in New York:

Hillary Clinton For President
420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 3030
New York, New York 10170

3. Purchase merchandise from the Hillary Store. There are still some selections of shirts, stickers, hats, signs, buttons, lapel pins, and accessories.

We've done it before, let's do it again. Cough up what you can and show Hillary some love. Skip another latte, brow wax, or manicure, skip a few beers or martinis, just walk by that pair of shoes. Stay in for date night, rent a movie, or hold your honey under the stars. Give it up for Hillary just one more time.

Help spread the word far and wide!

Update [2008-6-23 14:21:1 by grlpatriot]: FULL DISCLOSURE: Since the Gestapo has come out in force once again, please let me make this clear, as if it already was not. This diary is for Hillary's supporters to help retire campaign debt. Please also let it be known that I am blogging on other sites now because MyDD doesn't not represent all Democrats any longer and has become hostile to any dissent outside of the Obamedia and message. I have posted two diaries in the last week on MyDD, specifically related to retiring HRC's campaign debts. I also have made my intentions public at MyDD and on other blogs within the blogosphere that I am not supporting Obama's selection as the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party, I am part of the PUMA movement to take back the Democratic party, and I will be voting against Obama by casting a McCain vote. Now, with that clarified AGAIN, what in the hell does this have to do with a diary about retiring Hillary's campaign debts. If I would have stated all this in the diary (AGAIN) you would attack that I was advertising it. So, I didn't and you basically attack and accuse me of being subversive. Should I stick a triangular badge on my profile, so that you can quickly identify me? Stop being creeps. I'm not hear to fight with you.

Update [2008-6-23 15:1:22 by grlpatriot]: Regarding my Gestapo and triangle comment, I'm not suggesting that people are being killed. I'm saying that I have experienced and witnessed extreme behavior to silence and label dissenters. It is anti-Democratic and creepy. I am certainly not the first person to call this extreme behavior out here on MyDD.

Wow, what a ride! We took our girl all the way to the finish line and crossed it with all the grit, guts, and glory of champions. I'm sure we are all still decompressing and determining our next steps. Whether you are fading into the Obama-nation or moving forward with Just Say No Deal, PUMA, Write Hillary In, Democrats for McCain, or joining one of the various NObama groups, we still have one piece of unfinished business to attend to - retiring Hillary's campaign debt.

I bought a few more shirts and bumper stickers and contributed online.
