Dear  Mr. President:

Regarding the message received today from your Deputy Campaign Manager, Ms. Smoot:

We will be out raised. We will be out spent. We will be out monied.

There is nothing new in that. We usually have been. We have seldom been more powerful than the forces of greed and retrogression in any respect other than our will to good and love of the people, of humanity.  Most often in this area we have been both more powerful and victorious. This is true throughout history, most notably in the American Revolution, the Civil War and WWI and II.

It is this power that will win this battle, not how much money we have. And we must make no mistake, although being waged mainly on the emotional and mental planes, this battle is a battle of even greater magnitude than those sited.

We use the money we have to make messages that carry the truth, the light and will of the people to be free. One minute of one such message will obliterate many thousands of the lies that are pouring from the orifices of retrogression. 

Trying to raise money through the ingestion of fear,which the message from your Deputy Campaign Manager does,  is using the methodology of the Retrogressors and heartless. By disheartening and discouraging the people we are actually doing more harm than good in using this approach.

I suggest that we use our money and time in a more positive,  proactive and powerful way. Remember, David did in Goliath with a sling and a stone. It is seldom noted, but the stone was a stone of Light and Truth.  

For us losing is not an option.

lots of love
