I'm so proud that you -- along with more than 300,000 other people -- are standing with me to ensure that the 2.3 million votes cast in Florida and Michigan are counted. It's such an important principle in our country: when the voters speak, we count their votes.
Your commitment to that principle means a lot to me, and to the people I talk to in Florida and Michigan who want to make sure they have a voice in this election. Yesterday, I spoke to voters in Florida, and they are all too familiar with the consequences of not counting every vote.
On May 31, we'll hear the decision from the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee on whether they'll seat the delegates from Michigan and Florida. And while we wait to hear their ruling, you and I must keep fighting together to win every last vote in the final three races.
Let's fight to the finish -- make a contribution today.
Our recent string of victories in Kentucky, West Virginia, Indiana, and Pennsylvania showed that we have what it takes to win in November, and our campaign is moving full-speed ahead toward the final contests.
Puerto Rico votes in 10 days, and the last primaries in Montana and South Dakota are just two days later. This is the final push for votes, and I know I can count on you as I have throughout this race.
We've worked so hard together to make sure that every American has a chance to make their voice heard in this race. We've fought for the values we share and for the future we both know our country needs. We can't let up now.
Contribute today to help us fight for every vote.
Florida and Michigan are depending on us to make sure they have a voice. Millions are still waiting for their chance to vote.
I'm proud to fight for them, and I'm so grateful to have you standing with me.
Sincerely,
Hillary Rodham Clinton

An Open Letter from Hillary Clinton
Posted by AA at 12:54 0 comments
I have never for one moment forgotten what this race is about -- the millions of people who are looking to you and me for the leadership America needs. It's about getting our economy moving again. It's about bringing the war in Iraq to a responsible end. It's about fulfilling America's energy needs while protecting the planet for our children and grandchildren. It's about making sure that every man, woman, and child in America has health care.
Now we have just three races left, and your help is absolutely critical in these final two weeks. Your support has made a such a difference for me in this campaign, and I can't thank you enough. So let's do it. Let's keep fighting and winning together, as we have all along.
Contribute today and let's keep driving toward victory.
Let's talk about the state of this race.
I've won more votes than anyone running for the Democratic nomination in the history of our party. I've won states that will total 308 electoral votes in November -- more than enough to carry the general election. And it is critical that we make certain the more than 2 million voters in Florida and Michigan are heard.
We can let the media decide this race. We can let the pundits be the ones who determine our party's nominee. Or we can listen to the voters. Yesterday, voters in Kentucky joined you in sending a clear message -- this campaign is far from over.
Throughout it all, through the ups and downs of this race, you've been there, supporting me every step of the way. Help me send a strong message that this race isn't over yet.
Contribute now to help us in the final three races.
I'm so proud of what we accomplished yesterday in Kentucky, and of all the victories we celebrated together. We've worked too hard to stop now. Thank you for your incredible support. I don't have to tell you that I couldn't do this without you.
Sincerely,
Hillary Rodham Clinton
