Dear Supporter,
We’ve got to spend every dollar as carefully and wisely as we can between now and November. And as we learned in Florida in 2000, we have to expect the unexpected on and after Election Day. That’s why I’m writing to ask for your immediate help on a very special project.
Election Day is several weeks away, but our campaign is already considering our options should John Kerry or George Bush pursue a recount like the famous Florida ballot dispute in 2000. That year, the Bush campaign raised more than $14 million in the Florida crisis, compared to Al Gore’s campaign, which raised $3.2 million. We can never again be outspent 4-to-1 in such a critical situation.
Help us get a head start funding our recount efforts:

I think this tells us that it is more vital than ever to make sure that the election isn’t even close. It shouldn’t be. John Kerry is the wrong choice for our country and recent polls suggest that the American people are beginning to realize this. But if it’s close you can see that the Democrats are already beginning to plan ways to challenge and draw things out again just like Al Gore did in the 2000 election with his countless recounts.
As Hugh Hewitt says, “They can’t cheat if it’s not close.”
