Dear Mr. President:
Your staff continues to put out self defeating messages.
I quote, “We
could lose if this continues!”
If this election is to
be decided by who has the most money, we were beat at the beginning. As long as
you are framing the election around who can raise or who has the most money, we
will not be reaching the heart of the population, the vast majority of whom do
not have $35 to send in to have a cup of coffee with Joe or to ride on the bus
with you.
The messages that your
staff are sending are disheartening. They are engaging in a competition which
is ridiculous and actually fuels the power of the opponents. When you focus the
people’s attention on the news that they did not raise enough money, and rattle
the snake of defeat you are discouraging us.
This is not a football
game. We cannot be encouraged to go to the poles and “win one for the Gipper”!
This messaging, BTW, also
focuses the opponents attention on the news that they are Winning. It says to
them that to win all they have to do is
out-spend us. This will only encourage the billionaires to bury us in a mountain of money, which for them
is a mole hill of chump change.
This line of approach is
playing the opponents game. Focusing the election on money rather
than values and principles, is a sure way to not be reelected.
People want to vote for
the individual with the most heart, not the most money. Making the campaign focus on heart qualities
is a sure winner, mainly because the opposition is basically heartless. America
is about freedom and liberty for ALL. It’s about the right of All to Life liberty
and happiness. It is the Common Good and the General Welfare that matter, not
the size of one’s yacht or the number of one’s personal planes or houses.
These are the things
that your staff needs to focus on. We have lots of rather the grim realities to illustrate the lie and failure of the oppositions message: The spreading poverty, the sad state of our schools, the 12 to 15 million unemployed mothers and
fathers and the 30 or 40 millions of their hugely disadvantage children, the
obesity of our people, the pollution of our environments, the wasting of human
life in stupid wars, the corruption of the Banksters and their minions just to name a few.
Strongly suggest that
you consider this approach. The heart is the path to “change the matters.”
Lots of love
