She is asking for our help. Let’s step it up.
Here is my rambling, though heartfelt, email to her campaign.
Funny you ask because on my blog this morning I wrote this:

Use Ed Rendell 24/7. Play that ad across Pennsylvania. Do another one with Evan Bayh in Indiana. Focus on you and ignore Obama. Talk about how poverty is a moral imperative. Talk about how we need to exit Iraq the right way. Talk about the Colin Powell pottery barn dictum. We broke it, we own it. We have to fix it and engage the Iraqis and the region in finding a long-lasting peace for the region. A peace that includes preserving the state of Israel and justice for the Palestinian people. Emphasis how hard working you are. How you work for us and highlight achievements like SCHIP, extra pay for veterans, etc. Embrace the LGBT community. Reach out to African-Americans by going to New Orleans and show the country the legacy of the Bush era. Point out the differences between the Clinton Administration and the Bush Administration on jobs and the economy.
In West Virginia, tell coal miners that the era of lax regulations that permit disasters like the Utah mine collapse will be forever over. Highlight the differences between your health care and your energy plans of those your opponents, plural. Engage Elizabeth Edwards on healthcare. And play the Rendell ad over and over.
You should know that I started this campaign as an ABC voter, Anybody But Clinton. I supported John Edwards but you won me over. I will do whatever you ask. I cannot thank you enough for all you have done.
Yours sincerely,
