Kerry: The $6 mill Sacrifice for his Country. Thank You Mr. Kerry! [View All]

[Raya]

I am very proud of John Kerry for “putting his money where his mouth is.” Kerry believed in our campaign to take back our country when only a small cadre of supporters were sticking with him.

Few of the Money People believed he could compete with the Dean machine.

Few of the Establishment Big-Wigs believed he could compete with the Dean machine.

Few of the Pundits believed he could compete with the Dean machine.

Few democratic activists believed he had the foggiest chance.

Kerry could have spent his time running around to the likes of Soros et al to do big fundraisers for his struggling campaign. (Soros did huge fundraisers for Dean and Clark and offered to do the same for Kerry). He could have pumped up the volume on his online fundraising with desperate pleas.

Instead, he honored his hard-working volunteers by promising he would risk his own money to make sure his campaign would not collapse after Iowa and NH. Kerry would have lost his $6 mill if the people had decided to choose Dean or Clark and their big campaign bank-rolls.

John Kerry focused on the VOTERS in Iowa and put his heart and gut into convincing the people that he was the best person to lead the fight against George Bush. His volunteers were out-numbered 5 to 1, but Kerry made up the difference by personally fighting for every vote and making the case in every forum, putting in more one-on-one campaign time than any other candidate.

Thank you Mr. Kerry for risking your money for your country and your supporters, just as you risked you life for your country and your mates in times past.
