			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Dear Friends,</p>
<p>Thank you for charging the battery! Because of your generous support we not only reached our goal of raising $20,000 in 20 days, we exceeded it with a grand total of $21,530!</p>
<p>By meeting such an ambitious fundraising goal so early in the campaign you have proven that we have the energy behind us to beat Brian Dubie and bring new opportunities to Vermonters.</p>
<p>I believe that Vermont’s future is bright. As someone who has been running a business since I was 23 years old, I will work hard to support small businesses, create great paying jobs, protect our environment and build a bold new economic future in our state.</p>
<p>Again, thank you again for charging the battery. Together we can move our state in a new direction.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
　<br />
Peter Shumlin</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Friend,</p>
<p>Help us charge up Peter’s campaign for Governor!  Will you contribute $10, $25, $100 or more over the next 20 days to reach our $20,000 challenge and charge our renewable energy battery?</p>
<p>But first, we want you to know why we are supporting Peter and why we think you should too.</p>
<p>Last week, Peter showed once again that he can deliver for Vermont’s future and get things done.</p>
<p>Despite the pleadings from the Douglas/Dubie team for more and more delay, he delivered a bipartisan 26 to 4 vote to close Vermont Yankee as scheduled and move Vermont to a renewable energy future that will create jobs and make our state a national leader.</p>
<p>Peter has taken plenty of heat for his courageous stand, but as he showed us one year ago when he was the first political leader in the country to pass marriage equality legislatively, he gets important things done.</p>
<p>Isn’t that what we need in a governor &#8211; a chief executive with bold, visionary and bipartisan leadership?</p>
<p>Will you help us raise $20,000 – that’s $1,000 for every year that Entergy Louisiana will NOT be operating its aging nuclear power reactor in Vermont – and charge our renewable energy battery?</p>
<p>Peter has a strong track record of standing up for what he believes in and knows is in the best interest of Vermonters.  He has never been afraid to do what is right, to take the lead on difficult issues important to Vermonters.</p>
<p>We have cited just two examples, Vermont Yankee and marriage equality.  In 2007, he sponsored and passed a climate change bill (that was vetoed by the Douglas/Dubie team) that Vice President Al Gore lauded as a “fantastic piece of legislation.”  Peter did this because he knows we owe it to our children to leave them a better world than the one we live in today and that Vermont must get a piece of the economic expansion and good paying jobs that are going to be created internationally as we move off our addiction to fossil fuel to renewable technology.</p>
<p>Peter believes that Vermont’s future is bright.   As someone who has been running a business since he was 23 years old, he will work hard to support small businesses, create great paying jobs, protect our environment and build a bold new economic future in our state.</p>
