I got this email (via my pseudonym, Mr. Beria) from the “Alliance for a Better Minnesota” borg last week, for a meeting that’s happening today.<\/p>\n
I’ll let it sit and ferment on its own, with a bit of emphasis added by me:<\/p>\n
Dear Lavrentiy,<\/p>\n
I am excited to invite you to support my good friend, Hillary Clinton, in her presidential campaign. Over the next 18 months I will be doing all I can to help elect this great progressive<\/strong> champion. Will you join me?<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, the Hillary for America campaign will hold a strategy session for community<\/strong> leaders and volunteers<\/strong> to jumpstart grassroots<\/strong> organizing efforts across Minnesota. I want to personally invite you to join me, Tina Smith, and others at the campaign\u2019s first grassroots<\/strong> organizational meeting.<\/p>\n
All the details are below. I hope to see you on Tuesday!<\/p>\n
Thank you for your support,<\/p>\n
