Hillary Makes 'Announcement' … to Ask for Cash for Foundation

This morning, Hillary Clinton sent an email to supporters with the subject line, "Announcement." But the contents of the message did not explain the former secretary of state's future political ambitions. Instead, the message asked for money from supporters of what is now the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

"This is a season to give thanks for our many blessings and to remember our responsibilities to each other – that we're all in this together," Clinton wrote. "In my family, we're celebrating our first holidays with a beautiful new granddaughter. We're also celebrating the generosity and commitment of our incredible Clinton Foundation family – and that means you."

She continued:
As we look ahead to an exciting new year, there's so much more to do together – solving problems and seizing opportunities faster, better, and at lower cost. But we can't do it without you. That's why Bill, Chelsea, and I will triple every $1 donated to the Clinton Foundation before the end of the year, up to an additional $100,000.

Support the life-changing work of the Clinton Foundation with a tax-deductible gift now, and we will personally match your donation $2 to $1, up to $200,000.

From ensuring more of America’s children have the chance to succeed to empowering women and girls around the world, we have plenty of work ahead of us in 2015.

She contradicts herself in this letter. Can't decide if she is topping their contribution at $100k or $200k. The Clinton Foundation is their personal piggy bank which funds their activities all over the world -- things like airfare, hotels, spas, etc.

This deserves a huge Barf Alert!

I’ve received robo-calls lately:

ANNOUNCMENT: THIS IS NOT A SALES CALL

That’s followed by a click as I end the call.

[Dilbert San Diego]

So the Clintons are going to match donations to their own foundation? They are going to give their own money to their foundation , where they control where the money goes??? This is generous of them how exactly??? What am I missing???

[Dilbert San Diego]

Does anybody know exactly what charitable works the Clinton foundation is involved in??? Why should I contribute money to them???

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Does anybody know exactly what charitable works the Clinton foundation is involved in?

I think it's to help straighten out crooked politicians (Peyonie's Disease).

[afraidfortherepublic]

Well, they pay Chelsea a whoppig salary for one thing!

[DaveA37]

Gives me an idea, do you suppose any of us could start our own “foundation” so we can scam people out of their money without worrying if we would go to jail for doing so?

I wonder???????????????????????

Hillary continues such missteps that are plaguing her nascent campaign badly such that the Democrats are begging Elizabeth Warren to run.

Here Hillary begs for campaign money through a dubious "foundation" which screams "Capitalism" "1%er" to any Democrat. Like her "Don't let anyone tell that, ah, you know, it's corporations and businesses that create jobs..." statement; this will come back to haunt her.

With the Mainstream Media salivating for new Clinton scandals to stay alive, this is not good for her.

Amy Chozick covers Hillary Clinton for the New York Times......Chozick covered a meeting of "The Clinton Global Initiative" Foundation...(.one of the three non-profits the devious Clintons have admitted to).

Chozick’s most revealing article about the event had nothing to do with the scheduled agenda, or with the opaque, labyrinthine, and seedy finances of "The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation"....which was renamed to lull America into giving more money to a cozy Family oriented-foundation.

The calculated Clintons use a tsunami of clichés about global warming, gender equality, wellness, empowerment, polarization, Mohammed Yunus, sustainable development, globalization, Palm Oil alternatives, uplift, board diversity, education access, green energy, Malala, information technology, organic farming, public-private partnerships, and #YesAllWomen.

However, Chozick’s bathroom usage had Hillary on her toes......for some strange reason. A representative of the Clintons would accompany her to the ladies’ room. Every time. And not only would the “friendly 20-something press aide” stroll with Chozick to the entrance of the john. She also “waited outside the stall.” (Excerpt) Read more at freebeacon.com ...

The NYT's reported on The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Family Foundation (one of three Clinton "tax-exempt foundations"), that was replete w/ a tsunami of clichés and buzz words intended to advance Hillary's 2016 ambitions----and to raise billions for the greedy Clintons.

The Clintons are advancing Hillary 2016 with their "concern" for: global warming, gender equality, wellness, empowerment, polarization, Mohammed Yunus, sustainable development, globalization, Palm Oil alternatives, uplift, board diversity, education access, green energy, Malala, information technology, organic farming, public-private partnerships, and #YesAllWomen.........

The Clintons calculatedly morphed into the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Family Foundation....to give it more fund-raising capabilities. The shady methods the Clintons use to raise tons of money for themselves was also revealed by the NY Times.

============================================

The Clinton MO is to target a particular area of concern and create a fund-raising vehicle around it.

Standing alongside her parents at "The Clinton Foundation, little Chelsea warned of the plight of African elephants.......ut, oh get ready for a-n-o-t-h-e-r Clinton fund-raising scheme.

Earlier, a NYT's expose chronicled the shady tax-exempt Clinton Global Initiative foundation.

The HILL.COM REPORTED: Bill and Hillary Clinton raised $2-3 billion in the two decades they’ve been prominent on the national stage, according to the WSJ.

The Clintons are beholden to a lot of people.... all waiting for the presidential pen for payback.

The Journal tallied the Clintons’ speaking fees, fundraising for their foundation and the sums raised for Bill Clinton’s two presidential campaigns for the DNC while he was in office and for Hillary Clinton’s Senate and presidential campaigns.

Between $1.3-2 billion came from U.S. companies and industry sources, making up at least 75 percent of the sum — more than the 60 percent industry sources contributed to the two Bushes’ political operations.

The Journal reports that if Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016, as expected, she could return such donors to the Democratic Party, a source of concern for Republican fundraisers as they gear up for what’s expected to be the most expensive presidential election in history.

Overall, the Clintons’ political operations raised $1.2 billion, their nonprofit "foundation" drew between $750 million and $1.7 billion and they made about $100 million in speaking fees. --SNIP--

============================================================

AND THIS---THE BILLIONAIRE "PUBLIC SERVANTS": The "dead broke" Clintons' vast wealth ---said to be in the multi-billions---was accumulated in a short time after they exited the WH

BACKSTORY When Billy, the Boy From Hope, burst upon the political scene as a presidential candidate....he duped the voters and coached his Arkansas Mafia friends to say, “Money doesn’t mean anything to Bill Clinton"........

Now we hear Billy got a hundred million dollars while his wife controlled the State Dept checkbook......monies that were meant for Haiti (the place where the Clintons spent their honeymoon). Plus hundreds of millions flowing into their tax-exempt foundations which the Clintons morphed into eleven separate fund-raising machines.

BETTER ADD THIS IN, TOO News reports say the State Department announced it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors..... a special “management alert” warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.

[RedStateGuyTrappedinCT]

Sounds like you're describing one of Sharpton's scams where he "borrows" money from his own NAN after listing the funds as charitable contributions. It all sounds very fishy.

Lets not forget, this woman turned $1000.00 into $100K by buying cattle futures with ABSOLUTELY NO insider info </sarc>

[Ann Archy]

SLUSH FUND!!! NOTHING but a SLUSH FUND!!!

[samtheman]

It’s awe-inspiring when the protege goes to greater heights (or depths) than the mentor.

As hard as it is to conceive of, Hillary is a greater scumbag than Bill. She learned from the best (or the worst), and then has gone on to become even more of a scumbag than The Master.

Truly awe-inspiring.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Wonder how much the Red Chinese gave ?

[Awgie]

Bum in parking lot...”If you donate $1 to help bums I will match your donation by moving $1 from my right pocket to my left pocket.”

[hal ogen]

It continues to amaze me that anyone gives these grifter criminals money.

"BETTER ADD THIS IN, TOO News reports say the State Department announced it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors..... a special “management alert” warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch."

I want to know where that money went and if they have to put lit matches on the fat pigs feet it will be just fine with me.

[Liz]

Sounds good to me.....although waterboarding might not be a bad idea.

[rhoda_penmark]

phhhhttt. What are thy going to use the foundation money to do? Maybe they can help young women who have been sexually abused in the workplace. /s
