Urgent: Kucinich Campaign: Urgent Appeal for $$$ as RNC “Swiftboats” Kucinich

[davidswanson]

Dear Friend of Dennis,
https://www.kucinich.us/contribute

What do they have to hide? The National Republican Party has launched a desperate, last minute “swiftboat” type smear attack against Congressman Dennis Kucinich who is in line to chair an key investigate subcommittee of the House of Representatives..

The Republican Party’s official website, www.gop.com attacks Kucinich in machine gun style, about FIFTY TIMES, for his opposition to the Bush agenda including, the War in Iraq, the Patriot Act, and National Missile “Defense”. Everyone knows Kucinich was right, and Bush was wrong, on each and every contested issue relating to national security. (Yesterday they gave Nancy Pelosi similar treatment.)

Why then, with the Republicans on the verge of losing control of both the House and the Senate, would they train such a lengthy, hysterical and vicious attack on Kucinich?

The answer is obvious: Kucinich is in line to chair the Government Oversight subcommittee on International Relations, National Security and Emerging Threats, which will bring out the truth about each and every Administration lie which led us into war, into fear, into a roll back of our civil liberties. Under his chairmanship, people in Washington will at last be held accountable for their misdeeds. The truth will come out about 911, the war in Iraq and how the Administration’s policies and actions have directly put America in more danger.

Now is the time for us to stand up to the GOP smear machine. Now is the time to stand up for Dennis Kucinich, not only because he has stood up for us, but because his honesty, and integrity is needed in Washington for security which comes through peace and prosperity.

He has shown real leadership for the Democratic Party. Don’t let the Republicans get away with this rotten, mean-spirited attack on an honest Congressman who fights for the people and works for peace. Give Dennis Kucinich the ability to respond NOW. Send your contribution for $50. $100, $500 or more to Re-Elect Kucinich or click on the “contribute” button on this page.

As Chairman of the Cuyahoga Democratic Party of Ohio, one of the largest Democratic organizations in the nation, I say it is time to tell the Republican party that their “swiftboating” days are over. They swiftboated John Kerry, They did it to Max Cleland. This gang even attacked one of their own, John McCain! Help Dennis get the gavel to give the GOP the boot.

Jimmy DiMora,

1. They will do this to EVERY Dem who sticks their neck out. Congressional

Dem leaders are in for a real hell the next two weeks. The ridicule will be fast and furious - - but I think the public is wising up to the GAME of it.

We're behind you Dennis.

8. Andy, don't you forget -- we've got a bet on the Blackwell-Strickland

race.

12. I think they might actually be targetting the nation with this

They're saying "dont vote for any dem because a dem majority means kucinich in top.."

[OzarkDem]

3. Well if the Commish says so,

The GOP is running one of Voinovich's staffers against Dennis. They pulled tricks by running a faux Dem against him in the primary, too and had the Plain Dealer endorse her. Voinovich and the Plain Dealer hate Dennis with a burning passion, which makes Dems like him all the more.

Good letter from Jimmy. I'm sending in a donation.


Here's a link to Dennis' donation page

4. Well...

It's disgusting. But...remember Kucinich is in danger. Please send the money to campaigns that are competitive.

[blm]

5. If Kucinich could be close ANY Dem could be in trouble, no matter what.

Because GOPs have newsmedia covering up their blatant vote stealing.

We have alot of activists in Cleveland - let them TRY to steal Dennis' seat.

6. Dennis Kucinich is the cat's pajamas. I love 'im.

K&R.

7. the GOP and the al Qaeda types fear Dennis

they know he's right. They know that unlike themselves, Dennis shares almost everyone in the world's desire for peace and knows the right approach to achieving it.

He gets $20 from me. :toast:

9. OK, I'm in for Dennis.

He is truly a kind soul...I want him representing Ohio.

11. Is it just me or is the GOP not afraid to be BATSHIT CRAZY?

The mainstream, leadership democrats would never call bush a fascist or anything like that but the main gop page links to stuff like this: http://www.gop.com/News/Read.aspx?ID=6681 that basically says denis loves terrorists.

13. Dennis is Comin' Ta Getcha!

Knocked this up a few years ago. Nice to know that this scenario gets closer and closer as the wheels come off the Bush Crime Family project..

14. Dennis is just the best, my candidate in 2004. Thanks for posting this. K&R.

How dare they go after Dennis?! Though it wouldn't be the first time, since he had the guts and the conscience to oppose the war, even before Bush* launched his illegal invasion and long before anyone else jumped on the bandwagon, way too late. Don't forget, he was the only one of our 2004 presidential candidates to vote against the war and to speak out against it and was labeled as "unpatriotic" for his efforts! Dennis is an exceptional member of Congress, a man with a vision and a conscience and he'll always have my support. We need him, today, like never before!:patriot:

15. Done.

I would do anything to help him. Thanks for the heads up.
