If you think Kucinich's positions have merit -- SEND BREAD TODAY!

[Mairead]

It's the last day of the quarter. This is the right day to give him money. Even if you're supporting someone else on 'electability' grounds, putting money into Dennis's campaign is an investment in a better tomorrow. It's what the rightwing does (except that their 'better' is our 'disaster').

Please, do it now. Even a dollar will help.

1. I would love to but I am too young but whens the deadline

I need to get a new button from the store, a hat, and maybe some other stuff.

[Mairead]

3. Today, tho I'm not sure whether it's 5 pm (close-of-business) or midnite

Go for it, John!

(I and my crone friends put ours in on Sunday)

[Mairead]

4. I just looked: MIDNITE TONITE!

[JohnKleeb]

5. lemme ask my folks

Remember I am not old enough.

[genius]

18. A lot of the kids around here want to contribute too.

Some of the kids around here are taking up collections for Kucinich that they can send in because they want to help out and the campaign finance laws have really limited them. It's really stupid that kids can't contribute on their own.

[JohnKleeb]

21. yes it is

What Nastasha does however is amazing.

[Speck Tater]

6. I'd support him IF I thought he could win.

He's just too far behind and too unappealing to the indies and swingers. Too bad, really. I guess Dean will have to do for now.

[JohnKleeb]

7. Thats ok

even though Ive heard this a million times.

[genius]

10. He will win and he is way ahead in a number of polls.

[JohnKleeb]

12. I really dont care about that really

I just think its flat out annoying when time after time we are told our doesnt have a chance genius. I may not show it but it frustrates me well as a matter of fact I do show it. Its so sad that superficality is a cause of many people's reluctance on this great man. He is such a great guy and he inspires me.

[no name no slogan]

14. He's only unelectable

if you don't vote for him or give him support...




(I donated another $57 today. Unfortunately it's all I can spare right now :( )

[hippywife]

15. Really

this indie and alot of Greens in my area are coming on board for Dennis is a BIG way.

[JohnKleeb]

16. great hippywife thats just great

I tell you we should all get dollars when someone says things like this. Why doesnt he have a chance, its because imo we dont give him one.

[Desertrose]

19. ahem...have you seen this CNBC poll?

20. In registering new voters, 90% are for Kucinich.

(Have been registering voters at the Dem party booths at local events and at the Farmers' Market for 10 weeks now.)Greens are switching parties like crazy so they can vote for DK.At the local university, the only candidate with a club to support him is Dennis. The former Green candidate for governor, who got over 10% of the vote, is working for DK. What were you saying?

He's getting back people who dropped out of the system years ago.This is good for the Party. Many of Dennis' ideas will go into the Democratic Platform if he shows strong support.

[LWolf]

24. Actually, he has a very strong base of support

among independents. Meet up with a group of supporters anywhere in the country, and you will find a broad mix of democrats and independents and 3rd party voters coming back to the fold to work and vote for him.

[Flying_Pig]

8. The question is not whether I think his positions "have merit", ....

they do. The question, is his electability. Unfortunately, as much as he may deserve a shot at it, he's not going to get it. So, if I only have a limited amount of money to donate, which is the case, I am going to give it to who I think has the best shot to unseat Bush. Nothing against Dennis, and I wish it were otherwise. Sorry.

F.P.

[JohnKleeb]

9. Thats fine

but I think hes more electable than most think. He has won where others have failed. I wish I got a dollar everytime someone said this though. It seems to be the only real beef I see with him here at DU. It annoys me but if thats all, whoa.

[genius]

11. Dennis is the most electable candidate.

http://www.fluxrostrum.com/MindFlux/DennisKucinich/electable-candidates.htm

[goodhue]

13. yes!

Now is the time. No point in waiting. Charge it.

https://www.kucinich.us/contribute.php

[hippywife]

17. Already sent mine

and the husband doubled it today!! :)

[kimchi]

22. I just sent $100.00

The volunteer said they had raised over $115,000.

That is freakin' chump change-I'm not sure how he is even staying in the race.

Come on, people--give Dennis his due!

[JohnKleeb]

23. Yes give Dennis his due

Who was one of the brave few after 9/11 when he could have given in to the fears of the nation by voting for that patriot act, Dennis Kucinich said NO, he now is trying to repeal that, he knew the war was wrong early last year. Dennis deserves better than this. I am though still proud of him for appealing to my heart.

[ErasureAcer]

25. $115,000 today?

That isn't bad. He should make 1.5 to 2 million this quarter. Not bad in comparrison to the other candidates(except Dean).

Kucinich ain't out of this yet.

[JohnKleeb]

26. way to go DK

[DemBones DemBones]

28. I've sent the kitchen sink.

Just sent it off this am.

I'm sending up clouds of optimism and hope tonight.

[genius]

29. I'm saving some money so I can attend more house parties.

The main thing is we need to get the word out there about our candidate. Everyone who sees him turns into an enthusiastic supporter. And if someone hasn't donated all they can, please do. America needs your help.

[Mairead]

30. We made the goal! $1.5M

Which amounts to a mill a month to spend, with matching.

I myself was hoping for 3 mill before matching, but I think there were a number of factors working against that, most notably the Dean campaign's success at raising money, but also the people to whom Dennis appeals: poor people. The nice part about poor people is that there sure as hell are a lot of us these days.
