I talked with john and it appears the meeting was productive with steve and tom...

Steve has sent directly 1 millioon dollars to the c4.

There is encouragement that if I set up a meeting with tom and susan and walk through the fundraising operation and the split with them we can get on the same page and will bring some good will.

Tom needs an additional 1 million in the next few weeks.  We can send it all now, or send $5000000 now and the rest in the first couple weeks of january.

If this happens we believe steve would move money to the 527 and in addition would get the money moved for the others he wants to bring into this endevour.

We also feel it send a strong message and will help with any press inquiries if we show contributions to both messaging and field (we are sending 1 million to av)

We need to move on this quickly beecause I have the accountant next wed and thurs.

This looks like the best short term and long term strategy.
Would appreciate your thoughts
Amy
