Naresh --
On the day of the first Democratic debate, Chelsea sent me the best surprise: a video of Chelsea and Marc saying to Charlotte, “What do you want to say to Grandma?” Charlotte finally took a deep breath and got it out: “Grandma!” It was the very first time I heard her say that word. I literally watched it a dozen times before I went on that debate stage; it lifted my heart and spirits completely. Naresh, I can’t tell you how good it makes me feel to know that so many people (from Charlotte to you!) are standing with me during these debates. The next one is coming up on Saturday -- will you chip in $1 before then to join my official debate team? Every single day when I’m on the campaign trail, I think about Charlotte and all the kids like her who are counting on us to give them a better future. This campaign is about what opportunities, dreams, and lives they’re going to have in our country. I’m proud of the work we’re doing together, and I’m excited for our campaign to have another big night on Saturday! If you’re excited, too, I hope you’ll chip in $1 right now to join my official debate team. In moments like these, it means so much to know you’re with me:
Thanks, Hillary |

This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
