(from the Hillary Campaign)
Here's what you need to know this morning. We were outspent in Wisconsin by a 4 to 1 margin on ads -- and we can't let that happen on March 4.
If we want to win in Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont, we've got to even the odds. We can't let the Obama campaign overwhelm us financially. Today, I am calling on you and other online supporters to act together, making sure we have the resources to create a fair, level playing field on March 4.
Contribute now to help us level the playing field.
Let this remarkable two-person contest for the Democratic nomination be determined by the strength of our ideas, the quality of our leadership, or the depth of our experience. But whatever you do, don't let the outcome of these crucial March 4 contests be decided by a lopsided spending advantage for the Obama campaign.
There are just two weeks left before voters go to the polls in one of the most crucial days of voting yet. We must make sure we can hold our own against an avalanche of Obama TV ads, direct mail, phone calls, and online advertising.

Hillary Clinton's substantial support in the Hispanic community is surprising in light of Bill Clinton's hard-line on immigration as President, and her failure to sponsor or co-sponsor any major immigration legislation as a Senator.
On September 30, 1996, Bill Clinton signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA), one of the most regressive immigration laws since the infamous Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
Thanks to IIRAIRA, U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents were denied the opportunity to file Green Card petitions for their "illegal" family members, and U.S. employers were denied the opportunity to file Green Card petitions for their "illegal" employees.
Thanks to IIRAIRA, millions of "illegals" who had petitioners willing to sponsor them for Green Cards were forced instead to live in a netherworld of continued illegality and fear, compounding enormously our country's illegal immigration problems.
Hillary Clinton seeks to latch onto Bill Clinton's legacy, yet she has never repudiated IIRAIRA, nor has she ever taken the initiative on comprehensive immigration reform in the Senate. Our nation's Hispanics should ask themselves, since September 30, 1996, what has Hillary really done for them?
