Here is what his Word Document says:  (in case you don't want to click on the link)

To the Democratic Fundraising Committees AND certain candidates.
 
MONEY WILL NOT COMPENSATE FOR THE POOR MESSAGING OF THE ADMINISTRATION, AND ITS LEADING SENATORS AND MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE. THIS IS NOTED MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY BY ASTUTE OBSERVERS.
 
YOU FOLKS CAN MESS UP YOUR COMMUNICATIONS AND MISREAD WHAT IS MEANINGFUL TO THE PUBLIC AT A SCALE THAT STAGGERS THE IMAGINATION.
 
BUT, a major assist is now available to you--Lakoff and Wehling's THE LITTLE BLUE BOOK, just out---GO TO AMAZON:
 
http://www.amazon.com/The-Little-Blue-Book-Democratic/dp/147670001X/ref=tmm_pap_title_0
 
IF I TRIED TO BAIL YOU OUT OF YOUR ERRORS, I WOULD STARVE--TO NO GOOD END WHATSOEVER.  BUT LAKOFF AND WEHLING HAVE YOUR ANSWERS.
 
UNTIL YOU FIX  'YOUR ACT'  I WILL DO BETTER ON MY OWN WORKING WITH CHURCH AND FRIENDS ON MORE PRECISELY DEFINED, BETTER FOCUSED, AND MORE CLEARLY EDITED AND PRESENTED COMMUNICATIONS.. . . .
 
and DONATING DIRECTLY TO A VERY FEW INDIVIDUALS
 
GET 25 COPIES OF THAT BOOK AND HAVE EVERYONE READ IT, AND GENERATE NEW APPROACHES, BEFORE YOU EMAIL ME BACK!!!
 
(Just one problem--it asks you to THINK, rather than just buy more TV time for the same old stuff).
