re: Oh, I really like the guy! But, he's raised 500k, vs. 50 million between Hillary and Obama. The money will talk this cycle, and he doesn't have any. I'm just being realistic. I'm not sold yet... but would like to see him in the mix. I think he raised about 4 million... ---------------------------- Dear John, Last week, you really came through for us. When we called on you to help our end-of-quarter fundraising push, the online response was tremendous. You helped us meet and exceed our goals for the week. I want to let you know how pleased we are with our results. While other candidates have been campaigning, Governor Richardson has been busy leading one of the most productive legislative sessions in New Mexico's history. While other campaigns have been having lavish fundraisers, the Governor has been signing bills to raise the minimum wage, enacting environmental reforms that will help us exceed the Kyoto protocols, and passing tax cuts designed to help working families. Yet, because of your support, we've raised more than enough to build the grassroots campaign we need to win. I'm especially proud that we have almost 80% of what we've raised on hand and ready to use -- not many campaigns can say that. That retention rate is earning us national press. We've seen stories in The Washington Post, NPR, and the National Journal's Hotline in which commentators have been impressed with the Governor's ability to not only raise money, but to keep it on hand. You're going to see a great deal of Bill Richardson in the next few months. We are going to out-work and out-campaign every other candidate. At heart, Bill is a grassroots guy -- he even holds the world-record for most handshakes in an 8-hour period. As a people-powered campaign, we are in our element -- building momentum one house party, one blog post, and one handshake at a time. Thank you again for your support -- you are a vital part of this campaign. See you on the campaign trail. Sincerely, Amanda Cooper Deputy Campaign Manager Richardson for President
