Friends – –

I just walked offstage from another debate with Senator Sanders — our first since Super Tuesday. Our team had a historic day on March 1st, but Senator Sanders took three of our four contests this weekend, and his campaign has committed to fighting in every single primary, starting with the contests in Michigan and Mississippi on Tuesday.

I’m going to fight my heart out on the campaign trail, just like I did on the debate stage tonight, but I can’t win without you fighting by my side. Show me you’re ready to win this nomination. Chip in $5 right now, and let’s make history together.

Thank you,

Hillary

Hillary Clinton: Please Help the Flint Child Health & Development Fund

Posted in Hillary Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Uncategorized, tagged , , , on February 14, 2016| 25 Comments »

We usually send you emails about this campaign and how we can work together to help American families — today, the families in Flint, Michigan need our help. Read the note below, and help out if you can.

Friend —

For two years, the people of Flint, Michigan, complained that their water was murky, that it smelled bad, that bathing in it gave them rashes — and for two years, they were told they were wrong, and that their water was safe. But it wasn’t. It was poisoned, and the children of Flint were drinking it.

I traveled to Flint last weekend at the invitation of Mayor Karen Weaver to talk with residents and community leaders. The people I met were passionate, thoughtful, and tireless — one 6-year-old came to our meeting, and his mom spoke about how she’d tried so hard to shield her son from the ills of the world, only to learn she’d been giving him baths in poisoned water.

What happened in Flint is the cruelest kind of indifference, and an affront to what we stand for as a nation. Clean water is not optional, and it’s not a luxury — it’s a basic human right. The children of Flint are just as deserving of bright futures as the children of any other community. And today, those children need our help.

If you can, please chip in to support the Flint Child Health & Development Fund, which is working to provide health care and educational support to families in Flint affected by this crisis. We know that lead poisoning can affect kids for their whole lives, so 100 percent of your donation will help provide ongoing services for the next 20 years to the most vulnerable families in Flint:

We need to keep talking about Flint, and we need to make sure that every child in this country can grow up to reach his or her God-given potential — no matter where they come from, the color of their skin, or how much money their parents make. Thank you for standing with me in this fight and so many others. Thank you for doing your part to help the children of Flint.

With deep appreciation,

Hillary

P.S. If you’re interested, take a moment to watch this video of my trip to Flint, then share it with friends and ask them to get involved, too:

Hillary Clinton Speaks Out in Flint

Posted in Equality, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , on February 7, 2016| 2 Comments »

Hillary stepped off the campaign trail for awhile today, and into the charged situation in Flint, Michigan.  This morning on TV she spoke knowledgeably about the dangerous effects of lead poisoning as well as the structural challenges involved in making the pipelines safe again.  If any other candidate for president knows as much as Hillary does on this topic, that individual has been remarkably silent on the subject.

This was not a campaign stop.  Because of her knowledge on this topic, Hillary broke her campaign stride to see how she could help in this dire situation.
