Check this out. Here's yet another letter that was sent to somebody that I know (to put it kindly) does not like Bill or Hillary :

Dear Friend,

They can launch anti-Hillary websites. They can use their limitless war chest to run negative television ads. They can publish mean-spirited books and press releases.

But they can never stop me from standing up for what I believe in.

They can never stop me from working to advance the values that we share. That's why I have announced that I intend to run for the United States Senate from New York. And I want you to be the first to know that I will be making my formal announcement in a couple of weeks.

When I travel around New York, listening to people talk of their hopes and concerns, people tell me what they want this election to be about. It's not about me, or my opponent. It's about the hopes and lives of working families, about health care and education and making sure that economic prosperity reaches every community.

Those are the issues I'm going to fight for in the U.S. Senate. But to get there, I need your help. I'm writing to ask you for your active, personal involvement in a campaign that will be one of the most hard fought in the nation in the year 2000.

I need your help to protect Social Security, America's solemn commitment to our parents and grandparents - because, without it, half of all American women over 65 would be living in poverty.

I need your help to fight for health care protection for the 43 million Americans - over 3 million in New York alone - who have no health insurance. And I need your help to make sure that, whether people choose managed care or traditional pay-for-service care, they receive quality care.

Perhaps the most important reason I am asking for your help is the role I want to play in the Senate as an advocate for children. As you know, working on issues affecting children has been a long-standing commitment of mine.

In the 2000 elections, we have to build public support for tough measures to protect our children from guns - because it is totally unacceptable that every day in America we lose 13 precious children to gun-related violence.

We have to give public schools and their teachers the support, the dignity, and the respect they deserve - because they hold our children's futures in their hands. And we have to put music and the arts back in our schools.

We have to make sure that parents, the central figures in children's lives, have the help they need from the larger community. That means fighting to dramatically increase after-school programs. And it means doing more to make sure that every working parent has access to good, quality, affordable childcare.

In my travels across New York, I met too many people who told me that the economic good news does not seem real in their communities. They don't want to go back to the old days of irresponsible economic policies that created record deficits and uncertain futures. They want to expand the prosperity that has been created in the last seven years, and make sure that a better financial future is open to anyone willing to work for it.

I am genuinely excited about the progress you and I can make by working together - progress for children, for families, for New York, for America.

You and I have been through alot together. We have pulled together many times, often in the face of strong opposition, on campaigns for shared ideas and ideals. We have come together to make our voices heard on issues of vital importance to our families and communities. I hope that you'll agree that because of this, our country is a better place than it was in 1992.

Today, our country faces new challenges and I face a new challenge. I hope you'll face it with me. We know that for all the twists and turns, the disappointing moments and the exhilarating ones, campaigns can be wonderful shared experiences. It is my hope that, working together, we can build that kind of campaign, and by our example, teach young people about the importance of standing up for what you believe in.

We can defeat the forces of attack politics and personally negative campaigns by talking to people about the issues that matter to their lives, building a grasroots network of committed volunteers who will join in helping to get our positive message out.

You may not be able to travel across New York with me, but in a very real sense, I am counting on you to be by my side. Please stay in touch with me if you can through my web site : http://www.hillary2000.org - or by writing to me.

I hope you will help me carry forward this effort by immediately sending as generous a financial donation as you can afford.

You can count on me to stand up for the values and principles you and I believe in. I, in turn, am counting on you.

I appreciate your friendship, I look forward to hearing your ideas, and I thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton

P.S. If our opponents think their scare tactics are going to drive me away, they are going to find out how wrong they are! I hope you will join me in this effort. Please respond as quickly as you can.

Website : Hillary 2000. Like they say ... keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

If this web page saves just one child, the effort will have been worth it ...
