Kerrys Finanser

Mary Beth Cahill, John Kerrys kampanjchef har inte ett lätt jobb. Men hon har gjort en enastående insats och som följande epost visar så har hon och hennes team lyckats samla in en mycket stor summa pengar för Kerrys presidentkampanj. Om man till det lägger de miljoner som andra demokratiska organisationer samlat in så förstår man att detta är ett mycket dyrt val.

Kerry får nu problem genom att Bill Clinton har kommit tillbaks från det döda. Hans bokturne kommer att visa hela USA hur slätstruken och rent urtråkig Kerry är. Samtidigt kan han också hjälpa Kerry, men ingen vet ännu om skadan överväger den positiba för Kerry.

Dear Lennart,

I want you to know about an exciting announcement our campaign will make today. In just over three months, we surpassed our fundraising goal of $100 million, two months ahead of schedule. Even more impressive, $75 million of this money came from grassroots fundraising efforts.

We're witnessing nothing less than an historic change in American politics. Small donors -- regular Americans -- are within arm's length of turning the tables on big money special interests.

On March 2nd, we only had $2 million, while George Bush and Karl Rove had $110 million in the bank and a plan, as we told you Monday, to bombard our cash-strapped campaign with attack ads while we were unable to respond.

But we had our own bold plan, and set a goal to raise $100 million before the Democratic Convention on July 26th. The experts all cried, "It can't happen." No candidate, not even George Bush, had ever raised so much in so short a time.

We knew we could do it -- we knew you could do it -- because we had seen the drive and determination among our supporters and among all Americans who believe it's time for a change.

You've provided us the funds and energy to make this election a fair fight. We always appreciate when you make a contribution, but today we're asking you to get your friends, neighbors, and family members involved in our campaign by hosting a house party.

Our Internet team has just launched an online Volunteer Center to make hosting a house party easy. Just follow the instructions in the box below to get started.

Together, we'll put George Bush on notice that in the 138 days between now and Election Day, we intend to fight for every vote.

Thank you,

Mary Beth Cahill
Campaign Manager, Kerry for President
