Fundraiser One: Rally
Independence, Missouri - Harry Truman Presidential Library
Target: Women and Independents


Posted Image

Hello Independence!

It is great to be here in the home of two President's - Harry Truman and myself. Weeks ago I was sworn in as our nation's first female and first Independent President. I compare myself to Harry Truman, a great leader and my personal hero - my inspiration to seek public office. And I want to thank the city of Independence and the wonderful citizens of this state for electing me your Senator. The opportunity and the demands are equal in greatness, and I love the ability to serve and in the words of Missouri's favorite son, President Harry Truman, "A president either is constantly on top of events or, if he hesitates, events will soon be on top of him. I never felt that I could let up for a moment." However allow me to tell Mr. Truman that he is slightly out of date - I believe he means "...if he or she hesitates..." and "...on top of him or her." *Chuckles* And one thing I admire about Harry S Truman was his ability to put the people first, regardless of party. I have no party affiliation. While every politician pledges to be "bipartisan" they go and serve the interests of their party. As your President and your Vice President I've been working tirelessly to scrap political affiliation because parties do not "aid" politics, they hurt it and the partisan bickering in Washington must end. President Obama chose me not for political purposes, he asked me to serve as Vice President because of my record of centrist policies and my strong leadership qualities. Ladies and Gentlemen: the United States of America is not an institution, a nation, that should be used for political purposes and nor should her people be taken advantage of. Partisan politics hurts America, we all know that. Sensible policies can help America. I support the American people - not political parties. As President I've worked to represent the people, not the interest of political parties.

And to all the young women of America, I promise to you that the Equal Rights Amendment will be a top priority in the Hart Administration: allow me to make that clear now. Republicans and Conservatives will hide behind the amendment to the Constitution that ended slavery. As for the few Republicans and Conservatives who won't as well as the Democrats they won't want to tackle the issue a year before a Presidential Election. I join the American People in saying, "Give me a break!" I am tired of politicians who won't serve the people, aren't you? I'm tired of the politicians who care about campaigns and reelection than doing their job. Enough is enough! We want sensible policies...NOW! We're not going to wait for when the time is "politically convenient" I want the United States of America to work for the people. I want the United States Senate to work for the people. I want the United States House of Representatives to work for the people. And I am making sure the White House and the institution of the United States Presidency works for the people. I am a President who represents the people. And I am a President who'll fight for equal rights. Let no one doubt the Equal Rights Amendment will be an uphill battle but I call on members of the House and members of the Senate to work together to accept this Amendment, an Amendment to the Constitution that'll work for the people, that will protect the rights of all Americans. Racism is wrong - and so is sexism.

Many politicians feel that their main priority is to get reelected - they're wrong. Their main priority should be serving the American People. As President I haven't shifted to suit the needs of political parties and I'm going to be honest with the American people. To continue this era of prosperity we must work together. As your first female President: I'll fight for the rights of women - I'll fight for the rights of men - I'll fight for equal rights among the sexes and the races because we cannot continue to move backwards in the areas of racial and gender issues and if our nation continues down this path, I hate to be the one to say it, but we have a rude awakening. I am not going to back down to reports that are a half-century old. I am not going to back down because the issue is "politically inconvenient", I'm going to stand up for the rights of the people - regardless of age, gender, and race - and I am going to represent the land of the free and the home of the brave. And if any one in this audience doubts that I encourage you to follow my time in office and I encourage you to learn that the United States of America is not the land of corrupt politicians and businessmen: the United States of America is a land of prosperity and of progress. Thank you all and God Bless.

For future reference, any person who has a question about his or her grade is asked to PM me. Since your departure from the administrative end of this game, the formula has changed. That's all I can say. Have a wonderful day!

Fundraiser Two: Rally
St. Petersburg, Florida
Target: Seafood Farmers and Small Business Owners


Posted Image

Hello St. Petersburg!

I'm sure a lot of you were affected by the BP Oil Spill. And I'm sure a lot of you remember me touring the beaches of this beautiful city following the disaster. What happened here was wrong. What happened here should not happen again. What happened here should not become another reality. President Obama and I worked extremely hard on the situation and I've been down to the gulf sixteen times since the disaster, and four times during the disaster. I set forth my agenda: tougher regulations. We will not expand offshore drilling and we'll continue to provide relief to those affected by the BP Oil Spill, a disaster that never should've happened. As I look in to this crowd I see a lot of different people but I know that in the great city of St. Petersburg there are many reasons to visit. I speak to all those involved in the seafood industry when I promise significant drilling reform and I hope to see the seafood numbers back to normal very soon. The people here in St. Pete and other places along the gulf are strong and the people are resilient - we can do this! I know we can.

And to all the small business owners in the audience, whether connected to the Seafood Industry or not, I promise smaller taxes under a Hart Administration. The time is now for small business owners to get the opportunities they are entitled too. Small Business owners are the backbone of our economy and we need them to keep moving in this direction. I want the people in this country to move forward -to break the barriers and to set new records. I'm confident that in a few years good here in America will have been made here in America. From now on we need American flags made in America. Last time I checked it wasn't the small businesses outsourcing jobs to India and China, the large corporations were. Small Businesses provide Americans jobs and we need American jobs. Unemployment has been on the decline and that is due to strong economic policies coming forward: including increased support for Small Businesses across America. The good people of this nation deserve better: don't you think?

As I reach the end of my stay here I want to thank you all for this opportunity to serve as your President. It has been a great honor and one I have never regretted. The people I've met, faces I've seen, and stories I've heard are enough to keep me going but the continued support of the American People - of the American Dream - has allowed me to truly excel in this position and it is a great honor. Ladies and Gentlemen: My name is Melanie Hart and I am the President of the United States. And I pledge to restore the gulf in the next four years of my administration and if not - I will not run for reelection again. That is a promise I intend to keep! This is the time! This is our moment and we need to take advantage of it. Our country cannot continue to ignore our small business owners, I won't. Thank you all and God Bless!

Members of my family, Mr. Shall - the organizer or this dinner, Members of the audience:

It is great to be with you all on this special occasion. We come here today to realize the importance of the American Dream. This evening we recognize why we need continued dedication in the White House. Barack Hussein Obama, may he rest with the greatest of men, was an extraordinary man - one who will continue to go down in history for his accomplishments. He would not like to see Senators like Steven Fisher and Brian A. Murphy taking advantage of his death for their political gains. He would have been disgusted to know that Steven Fisher, a man who claims to be the next President of the United States, campaigned for the position of Vice President and when he wasn't chosen he, out of spite, decided to run for President. Barack Hussein Obama was a great and honest man, he didn't like playing politics like Senators Murphy and Fisher continue to do, but that's quite all right because while they claim to represent the people and continue to do quite the opposite, change is occurring and the people are truly beginning to recognize that it isn't time for the failed policies of either party - it is time for the continuation of the American spirit, it is not time for partisan bickering but time for the American people to be strong again, time for us to have a leader willing to recognize the importance of a great society. I do not come here today to just attack the plans of Steven Fisher and Brian Murphy, I'm going to talk to you about the dangers Senator Tisley represents as well. Senator Tisley is a far right conservative Senator who has done well representing Texas, however, we all know that Mr. Tisley's policies are a bit extreme and it will be horrific for America if we allow him the position he seeks. It is clear to me now that in order to achieve a greater America we need, now more than ever, a moderate and Independent voice for the Oval Office, someone not afraid to lead and someone who won't play those political games; isn't that what we need?

In my plan for America, I work with both sides. We don't need parties in America to tell us what is best, America knows what is best. As an Independent I have the ability to work for America, not for a political party. This election is crucial, but I believe that I can win because I know what America needs: leadership. We need a clear chain of command and we need someone at the top ready to lead, but not dictate. I am a fair and honest leader and I always hold the interests of the American People at heart. We cannot allow the nation to be torn because of party interests, let's work for America again, not for Democrats and not for Republicans. The people in Washington must be held accountable and as President I'll do my best to make them work for America again. The time is now for effective leadership and let no one doubt I will work for the American People. I am the President of the United States, I am not acting President and I am not "warming up my seat" for my successor until January 20, 2013, the earliest, I will hold this position with grace and dignity so that I can continue serving the American People. It is time for effective leadership. Ladies and Gentlemen: we can change politics in America and make it work for people again, so I ask: why not?

Thank you all very much for this opportunity and God Bless you all! If we want to change America we have to do it ourselves. I am not running for President to represent the Republican Party and I am not running for President to represent the Democratic Party - I am running for President to represent the people of the great United States of America. Let no one question that. In the words of Barack Obama, "There's not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America." And I'll close with another quote by our 44th President. This held true for him, and it holds true for me now, ""I'm in this race not just to hold an office, but to gather with you to transform a nation." Thank you all and God Bless!

#3 - $270,000. Why so negative this time? Your other events were more positive. Those attending want to hear about what you will do and what you have done. Good event overall, though.
