The Plan for Hillary to Win the White House in 2008

Phase I:

"I was there. I made history".... on a phenomenal 11 day 'Cruise to the White House 'in October, 2007, for 2000 key movers and shakers."

Remember the 900 folks who participated in Bill Clinton's annual gathering of movers and shakers who pledged many billions, like Mr. Branson of Virgin Airways committing 3 billion to investigate 'Global Warming?' This group could meet and be part of this 'Cruise to the White House'.

Conducting this "Town hall Meeting of Minds" on how to answer the world's critical needs would be a way to set up your agenda. It would also be a way to bring together folks who can network and offer their answers, while enjoying themselves while contributing to the campaign.

How about having a meeting of all the key persons conducting the campaigns for the primaries, the national convention, the state conventions, the election itself and also the Inauguration to set in motion this total package for 2012 as well?

How about inviting luminaries, key people and key media from around the world to be on this 'Cruise?' They can interview key folks daily and broadcast throughout the country and the world what is going on with this phenomenon? We could in effect take over the media that is worth billions with a positive approach.

How about inviting key folks who are running for all public positions on a local, state and national level on board this 'cruise?'

In other words to establish the plan, that Republicans complain Democrats don't have, and not to get into the mud with all the negative attacks, but manipulate the debate from our positive approach.

I got this idea because my brother and his wife own 'On Tour Travel' and know the key people. I have enclosed a proposal and costs for this effort which will cost us from $260,000 to $300,000 a day. This would have "On Tour Travel" as the exclusive agent for this effort.

Plus, we also want to record this historic effort for mass media distribution via PBS, HBO, DVD, and our own film besides what the media does. This could well impact further TV. ads for the campaigns. We'd also need to document via video, newspaper clippings and the internet what is being said and accomplished.

We also need to have a commemorative gift package for all participating that would include Tee-shirts, stickers, buttons, yard signs, plus copies of what we record for posterity.

Phase II:

Ports of Call

To expand this 'Cruise and Road to the White House' campaign. EACH PORT OF CALL COULD ALSO BE A THEME SUBJECT.

This would be a massive undertaking and imaginative one as well. It can be done on such a scale that the country would be in awe that this campaign functions on such a positive and caring level. This would be in total contrast to what the public thinks of politicians in. All of this would take place amidst the impact of every dirty trick possible being thrown at you.

A. There are key national figures who have issues they support and agendas they want to see funded. For example, Bono supports Aids funding in Africa, which Bill Clinton has also been supporting. Elton John also has a foundation for Aids. Michael J. Fox is most involved with Stem cell research. Willie Nelson is pushing ethanol. George Soros has a book dealing with the issues of global terrorism. There are many more key personalities with a number of issues to reach out to from Hollywood, Broadway, The Grand Ole Opry, etc.. Even Don Imus, who constantly calls you 'Satan', is vitally interested in health issues from autism to his ranch for kids with cancer.

The point is to put this team together and commit to national funding for real critical life and death issues and to do it as part of the campaign and not wait till getting elected. If you commit federal funds, with public support, for these critical life and death issues we can unite these key people to expand this campaign.

B. I say this in context of putting together major concerts with these personalities to raise funds for the campaign, to produce new music for ongoing fundraising via CD's, posters, calendars, etc.

For example, Barbara Streisand just recently performed at Madison Sq. Garden in NYC for $500 to $1000 a ticket. How about a major concert with folks like Bono, Elton John, Willie Nelson etc.? We could take this concert concept to some or each of the Ports of Call for the cruise. Using computer sales all can be accounted for via public recording of fundraising.

C. As part of the Port of Call effort could also be a 'convention' mixed with local Townhall gatherings. We need to have a grassroots effort to coordinate with the 'cruise' for those who can't afford it. We need to cover all economic bases. We need to do a compliment on shore with the grassroots to participate and mobilize the media and network with those on the cruise and also film and expand this concept as part of the campaign itself.

D. The ship itself can be a special fundraiser in port for 400 to 800.
We can also do special dinner fundraising in each port. In other words, there can be a multitude of events at all price ranges in each port of call that coordinate with the ship itself.
I can't emphasize enough that this could involve many hundreds of millions if we go for all the potential.

E. We can also do special media events on "Hillary is the Green Candidate", like tree planting in poverty areas...special West Indian Carnival Parties for the grassroots who can't afford the other price events. This effort can establish the grassroots movement of high visibility, hope and activism, without any competition. The 'cruise' folks can also participate in any or none of the shore events.

We also have to consider The Fall look, Halloween, college and professional football games and other key events going on at this time that we can participate in while in Port.

Also we must consider doing raffles and door prizes for the 'cruise' and all events, and on all levels.

F. Potential schedule and ports of call:

1.We start this 'Cruise' in Ft. Lauderdale, FL let's say Oct. 14, 2007. Due to a thing called "Jone Act" all persons who go on this cruise cannot leave the cruise at any port except when the ship returns to point of origin. While passengers can leave the ship at each port, they must also get back on ship till the final end of the cruise. Hillary can 'welcome' on the ship and at the Convention Center, and we can move media via buses to all these events.

In addition we can move passengers from the Cruise to the Convention Center if the timing is there or keep them separate.

In this context Hillary, Bill etc. can do any number of special events, fundraisers including on the ship at ports of call, but not be on the cruise itself. This doesn't restrict you but allows you to participate with the ship, but not be confined by any time factors or restraints.

The Broward County Convention Hall is part of the Port Everglades Complex. This can easily accommodate several thousands. Plus we could also do an event on board the ship itself for a more exclusive group.

With advance planning, folks from around the state could be at these events. For an even higher donating crowd we could use the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables as part of the schedule.

The theme could be the "Kickoff" of Renewing America's Dream.

2. We sail to Nassau, Bahamas. This could also be an interesting foreign port of call for dealing with Caribbean officials and issues.

3. We sail on Oct. 15 for either NYC or Boston. This would be two days of work, play, eating, gambling, interviewing, etc. on the ship. The theme for this port could be to involve the UN officials about global warming and threats to global survival, environmental issues.
A. In NYC there are several things we can do.
1. A special event on the ship itself for fundraising.
2. Take over two terminals for fundraising for 7000.
3. Do a huge concert at Madison Sq. Garden.
4. Do a Town hall meeting at a local school, or perhaps something in Brooklyn.
5. Use of convention hall for alternatives.
6. Tree planting
7. Street Carnival Party near the port.
8. We mobilize all of NY, CN, N.J., and Northern Pa. with this effort.

B. Boston - we do the following over a two day period. Theme: "Boston "Tea Party," taxation with representation and threats to the U.S. Constitution.
1. A special event on the ship itself for fundraising.
2. Rent buses to take to 5 cities in New Hampshire for both the fall leaf views, and one of the first primaries. We can do fundraising at these 5 cities: Manchester, Exeter, Salem, Portsmouth, and the U of New Hampshire. This can include both ship passengers and local grassroots. We can also include tree planting and Town hall meetings. Hillary addresses all of it.
3. Back in Boston, Convention hall on alternatives, massive dinner, street Carnival party.
4. Tree planting and Town hall.
5. Our effort is to mobilize all of New England with this effort.

We can do Boston first or NYC and then Boston/New Hampshire.

C. We leave on the 19th and go to Baltimore to repeat all of the above, but for the PA., MD., D.C., W.VA., and VA. crowd in the region. Theme: Making the U.S. energy independent and making government work for the people not for special interests. Main St. not just Wall St., Health care, insurance, etc.

D. We then sail for Charleston, S.C. With S.C. as one of the 4 early primary states the theme here could be national security, war on terrorism, defense of the nation, support of our troops.
1. Town hall meeting, tree planting, special fundraiser on ship, major dinner event on shore, and convention, and also a thought of doing a special "Black and White" costume Ball.
2. We reach out to the deep South at this event, and not abandon it as was done by Gore/Kerry. Our first straw vote for Hillary was from Democrats in Columbia, S.C. that made national news. We have done 20 events in the South and no problems. They are willing to listen if we will do the outreach.

E. We travel back to Ft. Lauderdale to finish this 11 day cruise. We might also be able to fit in Newport, VA. or possibly Jacksonville, FL given the schedule, or not either of these.

Hillary, what I'm presenting here is a 'knockout' punch that takes over the media and has the nation talking on every level. They will be in awe of how we accomplished the impossible.

We will have stickers, buttons, yard signs, tee-shirts and merchandise at each and every event.

We will also have sales tables with all of the merchandise and survival kits at each event through to the inauguration.

All ports of call can be for local and state and federal elections and their supporters, but only for those who are in your camp and will not be fighting against you while in office. This is for both being on the cruise and/or shore events.

All state party chairpersons can also participate. We are in effect putting together mini Democratic Conventions in each port of call, but the whole country can participate if they want to be a part of this.

This will also be a boon to local hotels, restaurants, airlines, car rentals etc.

Two other possibilities also exist, which is to do a Mississippi River Delta Queen cruise to various ports and repeat the same concepts. Iowa could be one of the stops as one of the early primary states.

Also a West Coast cruise can be done to include Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Long Beach/L.A., San Diego, and maybe a Mexican port and do this for 3000-3500, with various stops as above.

This would be done for the whole month of October, but I suggest that the East Coast 'cruise' be first and perhaps to expand in 2008 and beyond.

At each port we can move our 'cruise' folks via buses if they want to do this type of campaigning and partying.

All venues will have to be decorated for their themes and have an Americana theme that shows support for our troops, and those organizations helping them now. Also 50 U.S. State Flags and territory flags; table displays, etc.

In hitting this home run, amidst the World Series, we must also offer rewards for special folks making it possible.

For example, key people like Branson and Soros could be approached as well as corporations to sponsor all the events themselves.

State and county Democratic candidates and delegations and those who work for the party can be at each of these events. Afterwards we can do local events in each community as well as 'coffee klatches' everywhere a week after the Port of Call, so that we take this network out into the grassroots.

Everywhere, we must do voter registration as well.

I hope you are excited as I am in presenting this to you.

Yours Faithfully,
