I went to HillaryClinton.com
I went there like I was invited to by Hillary in her speech to give feedback as she invited me to. I’ve been on her mailing list for months. I’ve gotten every fundraising email she’s sent.
I went there to offer a contribution to help retire her campaign debt if she would show some class and grant Obama one moment in the spotlight.
But the only option I had was to send a message telling her I stood with her.
So I left.
Here it is, Senator Clinton. I will donate to your campaign the day you acknowledge that Barack Obama is the presumptive nominee of the Democratic party to help you retire your campaign debt.
The VP slot? That got thrown away when you said these things:
And I am just enormously grateful, because, in the millions of question: Who will be the strongest candidate and the strongest…
Who will be ready to take back the White House and take charge as commander-in-chief and lead our country to better tomorrows?
and this:
People in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the territories, all had a chance to make your voices heard. And on election day after election day, you came out in record numbers to cast your ballots. Nearly 18 million of you cast your votes…
… for our campaign, carrying the popular vote with more votes than any primary candidate in history.
But this has always been your campaign. So, to the 18 million people who voted for me, and to our many other supporters out there of all ages, I want to hear from you. I hope you’ll go to my Web site at HillaryClinton.com and share your thoughts with me and help in any way that you can.
So hey, here’s my offer. I’ll donate to any fundraiser that helps retire your debt. But you have to step down.
