Dear Friend:

There are just 5 hours left until the polls close here in New Hampshire and then I've got to get ready for Nevada, South Carolina -- and then the West.

There is a reason why there are so many contests in this process. So EVERY American from EVERY state can play a role in deciding our next President. Not just one or two states. The American people are too smart and this election is too important to let the early numbers determine the next 48!

But in order to keep going, I need the continued support of people like you. I have appreciated your past support, but I need it now more than ever.

Please help me move out West -- where my support is the strongest- by supporting my campaign with $50 or $100 or even more.

Here in New Hampshire, people have been incredibly responsive to me and my vision for America.

Just yesterday The Keene Sentinel ran a terrific article where they interviewed some of the 200 folks who attended our rally in Keene on Sunday.

Here's what New Hampshire voters are saying:

Frank Dialessi of Keene said he plans to vote for Richardson, calling him the most qualified. "No one can dispute that," he said. "From all angles he's clearly the best candidate ... Richardson is the most highly qualified."

Keene High School teacher Jennifer White, holding Richardson signs at the corner of Roxbury Street and Central Square ahead of Sunday's rally, said it is Richardson's like-minded approach to education that appeals to her, and his pledge to scrap No Child Left Behind.

Keene voter Michael Chelstowski is drawn to Richardson, he said, because Richardson is saying more about the environment than any other candidate. "And that," he said, "is the long-term critical issue we face."

And Bob Jones of Nelson said: "He hit on the points I wanted to hear...Never in my adult life have I seen a situation where one person is going to have to handle so many important issues at once. I've been to New Mexico; I've seen the great job he's done in that state."

I hope I can count on you for a boost of $50, $100 or $250. I want to go West, my campaign is ready to go, but we can't do it without the financial resources we need to pull off a win. Please help today.

I've got to run. Keep your eyes on New Hampshire -- but look forward to the next leg of this race!

Bill
