Clintons E-Mail for Kerry Cash By GLEN JUSTICE - NYT WASHINGTON, March 16 — Former President Bill Clinton and a cast of other Democratic heavyweights began an Internet-based drive on Tuesday to raise $10 million for Senator John Kerry in the next 10 days. Using top-name Democrats to solicit contributions using e-mail, the drive comes as Mr. Kerry is ramping up his efforts to collect $80 million by the Democratic National Convention in July. He will start a 20-city tour this month, which could take in up to $20 million; the campaign has already raised $11.5 million over the Internet since March 3. President Bush, by contrast, has raised at least $159 million. "We're not going to yield an inch to the Republican attack machine when it comes to defining what this campaign is all about," Mr. Clinton wrote on Tuesday in his e-mail message to supporters. "It's our chance to give John Kerry the kind of immediate, dramatic support he needs to stand toe to toe with the president." The drive leads up to a Democratic National Committee fund-raiser on March 25 in Washington. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota and the strategist James Carville are joining Mr. Clinton in the drive. In the six hours after Mr. Clinton sent his message, the campaign took in roughly $600,000. Copyright 2004 The New York Times Company
