Shhhhh! Don’t Tell Jennifer!
by Rick on 02.05.2010
My wife doesn't know that I'm sending out this note, and let's keep this quiet as a surprise for her! You see, today is Jennifer's birthday, and I'd like to ask you to help celebrate it with us.
Jennifer doesn't make a big fuss about her birthdays, but they are very, very special to me. We spent her 21st birthday together, back when we were just starting out. Money was too tight for much of a celebration in those student days. I bought her a drink that night, but I abstained because we couldn't afford two drinks!
We've shared a lot of birthdays since then, and I'm not always sure what to get her for a present. But this year I have an idea that I'm sure she'll just love. I'm asking you, Jennifer's supporters, to sign a special online birthday card with your own birthday message. After you sign the card, you can give Jennifer a surprise present by providing the email addresses of five friends, neighbors, relatives or coworkers who would like to hear about Jennifer's campaign, and -- for the finishing touch -- you may make a special birthday contribution of $20.10.
There's nothing that I could buy for Jennifer that would be as meaningful to her as this show of support from you!
As you know, Jennifer is running for the U.S. Senate because she loves public service and she believes in the people of Ohio. That is why she is running a people-powered grassroots campaign. We're not relying on big banks, insurance companies or moneyed corporate interests to win this race; we're counting on the support of ordinary Ohioans all across the state. People like you.
So, many heartfelt thanks to you for all that you do, and please help us celebrate by signing the card!
Sincerely,

Rick L. Brunner
