SUBJECT: Who's ready for another political campaign?! I AM.
xxxx, So many of you have written or called me saying "Jeff, there simply aren't enough political communications going around this year. Would you start your reelection campaign already??!" Well, I've heard you. And so as to fill the void of politics in your life, I want to make sure you know that we're kicking off the campaign in style. No more will you suffer through weeks of not getting a politically-oriented email or facebook post. No longer will you have to go days and nights without being asked for money. Trust me—I'll make sure you have every bit of info you need on this highly watched re-election campaign! In all seriousness, thank you for your support. Details of the event are below. - Jeff
SUBJECT: The cutest kittens on the Internet
xxxx, I have given a lot of thought about the kinds of emails that will get your attention long enough to know that I have an event on Monday, May 23rd. So I give you: adorable kittens:
Look here regarding my Senate re-election campaign kick off! Monday, May 23 Streb’s Restaurant 5:30-7pm 1880 Congress Ave #190, Boynton Beach, FL 33426 Refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP to
[email protected]. Contributions are welcome but not required to attend. Checks should be made payable to Jeff Clemens Campaign, or give online at http://www.voteclemens.com/contribute. Contributions are limited to $1000 per person, business, or PAC.
If this is successful, I may revisit this kitten tactic when it comes to fundraising emails! - Jeff
SUBJECT: The best political commercial you'll see today.
xxxx, Let's face it... this might be the best thing you're going to see on the Internet today. Not only does this commercial feature multiple pictures of me, your (presumptive) favorite State Senator, but it also features a long list of names of big shots who want me to be re-elected. NEVER BEFORE has there been an endorsement list so proudly displayed next to my photo. NEVER BEFORE has there been a more visually pleasing assortment of blue shirts! SEE FOR YOURSELF HERE...
THEN PLEASE DONATE HERE TO MAKE SURE MORE PEOPLE SEE IT. Thank you, Jeff
FROM: Not Irv Slosberg SUBJECT: Proudly Not.
xxxx, I am definitively not Irv Slosberg and that's a good thing. For one, I wouldn't be caught dead in a neon hat. (I know this isn't specifically a Democratic issue, but you people that wear neon hats when it's sunny out... you know that's burning the eyes of those around you, right? They may make you easy to find in a movie theater or crowd, but they make you harder to look at.) What IS increasingly hard to find is evidence that Irv is a true Democrat. Irv is a former Republican, who is being supported by Republicans in this race. We have 2 days to raise as much as we can to stop them.
I may not wear a neon hat—but this is a BIG BRIGHT GLARING NEON LINE ASKING YOU TO DONATE BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT. Don't Let Irv Serve Himself. I will fight for you... every day. Please donate here today before the timer runs out, the bell dings, and you wind up with that guy. Thank you, Jeff
SUBJECT: I will never ask you again... in 3 days.
xxxx, I will never again ask you to donate to this primary campaign... in 3 days. 11:59PM on Thursday marks our fundraising deadline and is the last chance to donate to help GOTV efforts, our last week advertising, and our final coffee and danish purchases. Be honest... some of you will miss these emails. We've had some good times together as I've solicited money for this campaign. But while we're down to the home stretch of fundraising emails, there's little time to be nostalgic. I'm in the political fight of my life (and that's saying something). I believe we will prevail, even though Republicans are lining up behind my so-called "Democratic" opponent. There will be plenty of time to reflect on these fundraising emails later. Right now, I just need you to do anything you can. $1. $100. If you can spare more to help make sure a true progressive keeps the seat, then please donate today. For those of you who have already donated up to their personal limit or the legal limit ($1,000), I can't thank you enough. I'm including you on these emails so you can feel included. There's a lot more we can do to seal this election - but we need funds. Please donate here today. Thank you, Jeff
SUBJECT: Guess what day it is?
xxxx, It's not just Thursday... It's Super Last Fundraising Deadline Thursday! Yes, you too can have the thrill of contributing to a political campaign! If you've already contributed (less than $1,000), you relive the thrilling excitement of pressing submit on your contribution again! This is almost your LAST CHANCE. You have less than 15 hours. Then you will no longer be able to support this campaign with a contribution here. Despite Irv sinking his vast wealth to try and defeat me—and his GOP friends are piling on—we are in position to win... BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR SUPPORT. No other campaign has worked so diligently to make their email solicitations tolerable. No other campaign has so brightly brightened your inbox while repeatedly asking you for help. This is our last day to ask. Please give what you can. I will love you forever. - Jeff
