Hillary Clinton Fundraising on Terror Cutbacks
Hillary Clinton is wasting no time turning Bush administration cuts in counterterrorism funding for New York City to her political advantage - invoking the budget slashing to her supporters as another reason they should contribute to her Senate reelection campaign. "When the Department of Homeland Security cut funding to New York's Homeland Security Grant program this week, they included a so-called 'explanation' that said the city had no national monuments and icons," Clinton explains, in an email sent to prospective contributors on Friday. Exhorting her backers to send the DHS postcards of New York icons like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building - the former first lady complains: "Maybe Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and his Department don't think those are icons - but we know better!" At the end of her email, which was signed by Mrs. Clinton's top aide Ann Lewis, a handy button reads, "Make a Contribution."
Story Continues Below The link leads to a form where outraged Hillary backers can contribute anywhere between $25 and $2,100 to Mrs. Clinton's campaign. The former first lady already has nearly $20 million more in her campaign coffers than her nearest GOP challenger. Any campaign cash she doesn't spend this year can be used to bankroll a presidential run in 2008.
