Thank you

02/28/2007

Dear DFLers,

I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of support you showed me during our "One Week, One Million" drive. It was an incredible success, and it means so much knowing that I have so many friends all over the country who are committed to our campaign. As Bill said in his message yesterday, I know that with your help, we cannot lose.

Yesterday, in my latest HillCast, I described a plan for an Apollo-like effort to make clean, alternative energy the energy of America. This plan would create a strategic energy fund to invest in developing and deploying clean and alternative energy -- home grown energy.

We can create the fund without new taxes on Americans by asking the oil companies to "Play or Pay": either they invest in alternative energy themselves, or they pay a portion of their windfall profits earned from the spike in oil prices into the strategic energy fund. We estimate that the fund will have close to $50 billion to invest in America's new energy future over the next 10 years.

My bill would also repeal oil company subsidies they don't need and reward families and businesses for increasing energy efficiency.

I hope you'll take a look at the latest HillCast to learn more about this plan. To watch, just go to:

Again, thank you for the incredible support you demonstrated in the past week and for standing with me.


Sincerely,
Hillary Rodham Clinton
