Hillary Clinton has raised more than $8 million for Obama's campaign - USA Today
Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton has raised more than $8 million for former rival Barack Obama's presidential campaign since July and plans to barnstorm the country for even more cash, as the New York senator works to show she is aggressively helping the candidate who cut short her White House bid.

"I am using every tool that I have to help Democrats win," Clinton told USA TODAY. She was between fundraising events in Texas and California that brought in another $1.5 million for Obama and congressional candidates on Friday and Saturday.

Later this month, Clinton will headline Obama fundraisers in Chicago, Philadelphia and Little Rock along with 11 events to raise money for Democratic congressional candidates and state parties.

She is stepping up efforts to get more Democratic women elected to the Senate. On Friday, she issued an e-mail fundraising appeal for Louisiana incumbent Mary Landrieu and challengers Kay Hagan, who is locked in a tight battle against Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole in North Carolina, and former New Hampshire governor Jeanne Shaheen, who is engaged in a repeat of her close 2002 race with GOP Sen. John Sununu.

The former first lady said in the interview late Friday that her goal is straightforward: "We have a lot to repair in America, and I believe that Democratic leadership is essential to fixing the damage that we are going to inherit."

4. I think that's very noble of her
and given that I'm not exactly one of her greatest fans I'm not being sarcastic.

15. I think it will be so
I know I gave a hundred bucks to Hillary when Barack asked for help. I know there are a lot of hard feelings amongst both camps, but, personally, I'm grateful that Hillary toughened up Barack for this slugfest. She'll always have my respect.

16. Thank you for your donation.
Though, her job was not to toughen up Obama for anything. She fought for her own candidacy and almost made it. I hope that she runs again in the future.

19. I just got an email, she is also raising for.....




This is the fight for our future -- and we only have 29 days to work together and take back the country we love.

After eight years of failed leadership, we must set a new course for our country.

And as important as this election is, we shouldn't expect it to be easy. Making real progress never is. But if we use our passion and our energy, I know that we can elect Barack Obama and our 36 EMILY's List candidates -- leaders ready to take on the challenges we face.

https://emilyslist.org/support/contribute_20081006_ng


This year, more than ever, our country is depending on women voters to elect Democrats up and down the ticket. I have seen firsthand the power of women -- and I know what a crucial ally we have in EMILY's List. EMILY's List is working to mobilize nearly 6.5 million women to elect Democrats, but they are going to need our help.

Make sure EMILY's List has what it needs to turn out these voters in November. Time is running out.

Click here to help me make sure EMILY's List has enough resources to turn out the women voters who will elect Barack Obama and progressive Democrats in November.

Those of us who have run with EMILY's List at our backs understand what a dramatic difference it makes. Because for EMILY's List, it's not just about politics. Theirs is a very personal endorsement that represents the confidence and support of literally tens of thousands of women and men who believe in the power of women to make change. And this year, their support couldn't be more important.

Our candidates are battling against fierce, determined opposition. Republicans, led by the McCain-Palin ticket, are spending millions, fighting hard to stay in power. They don't believe women should earn equal pay for equal work. They don't believe women should control their own reproductive decisions. They want to turn back the clock, when we need leaders who will move us forward.

We must win this election. We must elect Barack Obama and EMILY's List's 36 candidates.

Support EMILY's List's campaign to elect new progressive leaders in November.

With your help, we can elect a filibuster-proof Democratic Senate, a stronger Democratic House majority, Democratic governors and state legislators -- the progressive leaders we need to turn our nation around, undo the damage of the last eight years, and make the changes that will put us back on the path of prosperity and progress.

Thank you for your belief in the power of women and for your support for EMILY's List.

Warmly,
Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton

P.S. The choice facing women in this election could not be clearer -- and the stakes have never been higher. We don't have a moment to lose or a vote to spare. Please do everything you can to help EMILY's List today.


Support EMILY's List Today
