Ms. Clinton, Billary makes you weak

Hi Ms. Clinton,

This is an awkward note to write to you. Although I voted for you twice to represent me as Senator of New York, from the first rumors I heard in political circles here in New York City, I was vehemently opposed to your running for president.

As I said to many party insiders in New York, this had nothing to do with your abilities and all to do with where the country stands now.

We are at a point in which our democracy is in shreds. Nothing has been so damaging to our democracy than the attitude that has fueled Washington all these years : That "The People" are just an inconvenient obstacle to the Washington elite's road to power.

This country needs a movement willing to tearing down the walls of dynastic entitlement that George Bush has built around the White House during his eight years of quasi-imperialistic rule. This country needs a leader and a party and the people to bring it back from the place where Iraq, FISA, New Orleans, Read ID, racist immigration laws, the sub-prime lending fiasco are all seen as just the consequences of doing business in Washington DC.

This country needs a healing period and a new start.

A Hillary Clinton candidacy would have made sense in 2012. 'Hillary 2012' would have given us 8 years of healing the country, of bringing it back to its democratic roots and it would given you enough time to distance yourself from the Washington corruption that made eight terrible years of Bush possible in the first place.

But no.

It's all about Billary.

Not Hillary and Bill, but Bill and Hillary.

Billary is the reason why it will never be enough for your husband to modulate his tone throughout the campaign. Your candidacy is looked on by many as the loophole that'll bring your husband not just back to the White House but also to the Oval Office.

In every event, in every fundraiser it was always "The Twofer". People in off-the-record conversations would squeal "We get Bill and Hillary, two presidents for the price of one". And what was worse was not just the quiet chantings for "The Twofer", but the righteousness about it. "If we can't elect Bill again to the White House, we'll get Hillary in".

Billary.

Billary will never make it possible for you to be measured fairly neither by the content of your character.

Billary will never make it possible for you to be taken seriously by the caliber of your work.

Billary may be the only reason why people have raised millions for you but in the end, Billary is what makes you weak.

We do not need an un-elected co-President telling you what to do in the Oval Office. Nor do we need the onslaught of investigations as to what, where and how he has unduly influenced the Presidency.

We don't need Billaries or dynasties or co-presidents.

What this country needs is to bring democracy back.
