Dear (first name goes here),

Thank you for your past support in this challenging time for America and its blogs. Without your help and your cursor clicks, we could not have carried our message of change, national revitalization and unpredictable political news to growing legions of readers in recent months.

Many thousands of you responded with clicks, millions of them. And we sincerely appreciate that. It made our blog’s readership appear to be soaring. And two bloggers can only click on their own items so many times in a day.

But this presidential campaign is a long one.

You may have noticed during the recent Super Tuesday primary elections our online competition just kept posting blog item after blog item all during the....

day, as if there was no limit to the amount of online blather people will read. Some of our competitors even blogged after dark.

But it takes more than words for us to keep up, to keep blogging around the clock like this. It takes clicks.

And that’s where you come in, (first name goes here).

Frankly, we need your help if we’re to carry your message of hope and optimism and real change into the future of political blogging. Our nation deserves nothing less. Our time has come! Yes, we can!

That’s why, to be candid, we’ve recently borrowed 5 million clicks from our own personal resources. It was actually an easy decision because we believe so strongly in our message, We Decide, You Vote.

But today we must ask for your help. Won’t you contribute to help pay back those clicks? Any sum you can afford will do -- 25, 50, 250 clicks on our blog.* Just click anywhere you want. And click often. Click on this. Click on that. Click on everything in sight, like this.

In the archives you’ve got 1,300 more items to click on dating from June 11 when we got our very first click. It’s framed right here in the office. Leave a comment down below. There are nearly 16,000 of them. Leave several. Tell us what you did over the weekend. Refresh this page a dozen times. Absolutely nothing will change. But every little bit helps.

Each click represents a piece of ownership in this blog. The more you click, the more of this unique blog you own. Oh, sure, we’ll try to convince the new management that we should be paid by the click. But don’t concern your busy heads about that. We’ve got more primaries tomorrow and in March and a national election just a few short months later. Think of the clicks you can accomplish for America in that time.

You know our competition won’t let up. We can’t either. We live in a violent, constantly changing world. Clicks are also great for national security.

We all need to be concerned about the future of this great nation and this blog that our families believe is so essential to that future.

Thank you, Ticket readers. We approve this message. And God bless America.

--Andrew Malcolm *Clicks on political blogs are not tax-deductible. And federal regulations limit the maximum number of clicks you can donate to any single blog to 2,300 in a calendar year. But, frankly, who’s gonna know if you do more?
