The great thing about been an American is the ability to write directly to your representative. This is one of those moments exercising my right of representative government.

Dear Mrs. Clinton,
I recently read where you have incurred substantial debt with your unsuccessful campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Your plight concerns me and I would like to help as much as I can. I would certainly hate for you to feel pressured, due to the size of your debt, to support a candidate that you do not truly believe is ready to be "Commander in Chief on Day One."
I have always believed that our form of government, while less than perfect, is the best the world has to offer. I’ve also always believed that Congress with 535 elected members has more power to do good for this country than only one person or even nine people. Congress has the power and ability to guide and direct this country like no other group.
I vividly remember in 2006 how the Democrats gained control of both houses of Congress trumpeting

- Change” and a better America . Let’s review how that has worked out for us.
- Mortgage companies have declared bankruptcy costing thousands of people their jobs
- Home values have nose-dived
- Millions of Americans have lost their homes
- World oil prices have risen astronomically
- The Democrats continue to block drilling in oil rich reserves to continue and even increase our dependence on foreign oil
- Gasoline prices have increased to over $4 a gallon and there appears to be no end in sight even though Americans have reduced their driving over one billion miles a month.
- The stock market, where most Americans’ retirement hopes are invested, has dropped by more than 15%.
- Food prices are increasing at an alarming rate fueled mostly by rising energy costs
All in all I’d have to say that the Democrats fulfilled their promise and have brought change to our country. It isn’t good change, but it is change. Unfortunately, because of all this change, change is all I have to give you to help you retire your debt.
I am enclosing one penny for you to add to your campaign “war chest.” I think that’s a fair trade. Everything you’ve done for me is worth about a penny and because of the success of the Democrats, that’s all I have. Just so you know that you really aren’t alone in this, I had to borrow the penny from a friend.
I do have one simple request in return. I would really appreciate it if you could teach me how I can get the American people to pay off my debts that I knowingly and willingly incurred. Isn’t this a great country?
Good luck in your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Adonis Valamontes
