Dear Friend,

So heres the deal

Ive been in politics a long time and have seen almost everything.
But after all of those years, I can say without a doubt, I have never seen
a person more qualified to be President of the United States than Hillary
Clinton.
Ive known Hillary Clinton for 25 years. This was way before I was
the first staffer on her husbands 92 presidential campaign. I worked
with her in Arkansas, on over a half dozen campaigns and in the White
House. I dont need any convincing and based on public polls, a majority
of Americans dont either.
I have never seen our party (and a whole lot of independents) more
unified behind a potential candidate than we see right now with Hillary.
But we have been down this road before and learned the hard way that
nobody gets nothin for free.
And thats why Im writing to you-all today. I want to tell you about
one amazing group that is doing critical work to get ready for the next
presidential campaign. Its called Ready for Hillary.
When Hillary became Secretary of State, she had to walk away from
political activities of any kind. While she was working for our country,
politics had to be put aside. And that meant no organizing activists, no
meetings with supporters, no investments in technology or campaign
infrastructure.
Thats why Ready for Hillary was created last January to create a
nationwide grassroots movement working not only to encourage Hillary

to run for president in 2016 but also to let her know that if SHE gets
ready, WE will be ready.
When Ready for Hillary got started, nobody knew if a group like this
would work. No one had ever done anything like it before. The political
press and DC insiders snickered that nobody could build a national
grassroots organization for someone who hadnt even announced they
were running.
But Ready for Hillary wasnt about the DC insiders. It wasnt about
doing the same old thing that didnt work last time. They were ready to
try something different and to everyones amazement its working!
More supporters are stepping up every day. They are organizing, calling
their friends and neighbors and telling them it is time to get ready.
Now Ready for Hillary needs your support to keep going strong.
Thats why Im writing all of you-all today and asking you to get on
board! You can be one of the early supporters of Ready for Hillary by
doing two very important things right now:
First, please sign the enclosed Im Ready for Hillary pledge that
urges Hillary to run for president in 2016.

And second, please give and give generously!

Ready for Hillary needs to build a grassroots infrastructure that can be

activated the moment Hillary decides if she will run for president (and Im
thinking she might).
Its not an easy task, and trust me, it aint cheap. Thats why a gift of
$25, $35, $50 or even $100 can and will make a real difference!
If weve learned anything from recent campaigns, its that we have to
be ready and organized to go on day one.
Thats why Ready for Hillary is organizing grassroots events all across
the country. They are also investing in technology, infrastructure, and
data now key to modern campaigns to make sure the campaign will
have the resources to be effective right from the start!
Remember this: whomever the Republicans nominate will have
immediate access to hundreds of millions of dollars from billionaires with
personal agendas and special interest groups. In fact, a super PAC Stop
Hillary has been formed! And the Republican attack machine is already

digging through the garbage can of history trying to pump some life into
their failed attacks of the past.
In 2012, Republicans saw that an early, strong organization helped
re-elect President Obama. They ignored it then, but Im sure they wont
make that foolish mistake again.

I believe we owe it to Hillary to show her weve got her back.

So I want you to commit to helping build the infrastructure that will

enable her to start strong on day one and, more importantly, win on
Election Day.
Please take the Im Ready for Hillary pledge and send the most
generous gift that you can possibly afford to Ready for Hillary.

With your help, well be readywhen she gets ready.

Sincerely,

Craig T. Smith
Senior Adviser
P.S. Remember, at the end of the day, this isnt just about Hillary its
about all of us the people she has spent her whole life fighting for,
the people who dream that the America of tomorrow can be better
than the America of today.
