Kucinich: $3.34 Million in Matching Funds
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 1, 2004


Tomorrow the Dennis Kucinich for President campaign will file with the FEC for $2.603 million in matching funds. This is in addition to $741,000 already filed for, making a total of $3.34 million. That total includes no contributions since December 4 -- so there is more to come. The rapidly expanding Kucinich campaign receives a higher percentage of its contributions in small donations than does any other campaign, and processing the many small contributions takes time.

Congressman Kucinich himself helped answer the phones until 3 a.m. this morning Eastern Time (the end of the fourth quarter Pacific Time) as contributions came in. The campaign's fourth quarter money now stands at $1.622 million, with many checks still to be counted and the possibility that the figure will reach the mark set by the campaign during the third quarter of $1.7 million. The Kucinich campaign brought in just over $1.5 million in the second quarter, and $187,000 in the first quarter. So the total, without counting matching funds, is about $5 million. With at least 80 percent being matched, that total jumps to about $9 million.

January 2 and 3rd will witness a series of fundraising events for the Kucinich campaign in Austin, Texas, including a concert on the 3rd featuring Willie Nelson performing his new song "What Ever Happened to Peace on Earth." Like last night's fundraising party at campaign headquarters, the concert will be shown in live video over the web at www.kucinich.us

Happy New Year!
