</div>
<div>I have only one comment on the talking points – – I would =ot refer to any legal limits on what VP can currently do. There's no n=ed to introduce that into the discussion at this point. It should be suffi=ient to say that he will be busy and will not be
able to turn his attention to this project fully until he leaves office.</=iv>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On the website, it may be easiest for me to identify the parts t=at should be put "under construction", subject to revision later= and so here goes</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. I would delete the reference the paragraph entitled A Family Affair=</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. I would delete: any references to current Vice Presidential activit=es: </div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>--&nbs=;the report on the Vice Presidents trip to Iraq </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>--&nbs=;the link to the New Yorker and Foreign Policy articles </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>--the =ink to the article on the Cyprus visit</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am less concerned about the links to his views on LGBT rights and th= Moon Shot. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3. I'm confused by the references to the Dr. Jill Biden Foun=ation and the Beau Biden Foundation. . This seems to suggest separate orga=izations bearing their names? I wouldn't have any concerns abou= references to Dr. Joe Biden's "leadership in" the
Foundation, or critical work "with" or" for" the Found=tion. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>4. Finally, I'm fine with the video, so long as there is no identi=ied location on the site soliciting contributions. And I did not see one. =his relates to the Vice President's closing comment about being able t= do this with the viewers "help." So long
as this reference is unconnected to any suggestion of fundraising, I=#39;m not troubled by it at this stage and given the uses we have in=mind for the video right now.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Please let me know if you have any questions.</div>

Looking forward to getting your edits to the website.<br>

Thanks<br>

<br>
I am very excited about the Vice President’s plans after he leaves of=ice. He plans to be very active.<br>
<br>
The center piece of the Vice President’s work after he leaves office =ill be The Joseph Biden Foundation and Library.<br>
<br>
The Foundation will provide the office place and staff to continue his lead=rship on issues that are critical to him and I know critical to you. =<br>
<br>
He has a number of opportunities to continue his life’s work in forei=n policy, cancer research, equal treatment before the law, preventing viol=nce against women and children, support of community colleges, and America= veterans.<br>
<br>
In addition, he will establish the first Vice President Library and Center.= <br>
<br>
The VP plans to dedicate the rest of his life to this new stage of his publ=c service.<br>
<br>
I hope you will consider supporting the Foundation at this exciting time.<b=>
<br>
I think you care about VP and want to see him be able to do that from the f=rst day.<br>
.<br>
We are not raising money for specific programmatic efforts at this moment. =nbsp;We are raising money to get the Foundation up and running..<br>
<br>
Over the next nine months the VP can make decisions on how he is going to o=ganize his life after VP, but he is limited legally in how much he can be =nvolved, and he is still very busy being VP.<br>
<br>
He has been approached by a number of major academic institutions about joi=ing them after 1/20/17.<br>
<br>
We have been told that he will have a number of financial opportunities but=they too, will have wait until after 1/20/17.<br>
<br>
The Biden Foundation is not about money. It is totally about giving the VP = platform for the issues he cares about.<br>
<br>
We want you involved in helping with that process.<br>
<br>
The Foundation’s number one objective for this year is to raise the m=ney to assure that the VP has the funding to hit the ground running on 1/2=/17 when he leaves office.<br>
<br>
We are far along in developing a Biden Foundation website which we plan to =o public with in July.<br>
<br>
Show them the web site. <br>
<br>
You can see from our proposed website that the VP is planning for a very en=rgetic post VP life.<br>
<br>
When it becomes public we would like to be able to show on the website that=the foundation has already received significant contributions from good pe=ple for him to hit the ground running.<br>
<br>
The preferred way to do this is to have leaders among his good friends and =upporters give or raise $500,000 contributions<br>
<br>
As you can also see, like the Barack Obama website, there will be full tran=parency with all contributors placed on the website.<br>
<br>
Do you have any questions?<br>
Optional –<br>
<br>
These early contributors will be an interesting group.<br>
We plan to keep them informed on developments in the Foundation.<br>
We just set up Foundation in January because of chaotic 2014/15.<br>
