A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM AFTERDOWNINGSTREET.ORG CO-FOUNDERS
by email.

COME ON, MASSACHUSETTS, PLEASE GIVE THIS 5 VOTES SO DU NATIONALLY CAN SEE WE ARE SUPPORTING ONE OF OUR OWN IN HIS BID TO BE OUR NEXT SECRETARY OF STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!



SUBJ: A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM AFTERDOWNINGSTREET.ORG CO-FOUNDERS DAVID SWANSON, BOB FERTIK, TIM CARPENTER, AND STEVE COBBLE

Dear Friends,

Would it be worth $25 to you to have a co-founder of AfterDowningStreet.org running for public office?

Would it be worth $50 to you to have the voting rights lawyer who led the fight for an open and transparent recount in Ohio elected as a Secretary of State?

Would you be willing to chip in $75 to help elect the antiwar lawyer who brought together John Conyers, Dennis Kucinich, Jesse Jackson, Jr., and other progressives to sue in court to try to stop the Iraq War before it started?

Are you willing to send $100 to the campaign of the author of the book "Warrior-King: The Case for Impeaching George W. Bush" (with foreword by Rep. Conyers)?

What would you give to see a real leader of the movement for clean elections and verified voting holding a statewide o! ffice from which he could influence election reform in other states and nationally?

If that motivates you, please click on http://www.johnbonifaz.com/contribute

Because John Bonifaz is all these at once--a co-founder of AfterDowningStreet.org, the lawyer who fought for the Ohio recount, the peace activist who sued to stop the war, and the author of a brilliant book on the case for impeaching Bush and Cheney. We know him well -- because we are the other four original AfterDowningStreet.org co-founders, and some of us have fought for justice side-by-side with him for years.

John is also the founder of the National Voting Rights Institute, and one of the early architects of the "clean money" concept for freeing our elections from the corruption of big, corporate donations.

Now he's running for Secretary of State of Massachusetts. If you think you might be tempte! d to contribute to his campaign later this year when the race ! heats up, please consider this: your money is worth more now. Every dollar John receives now can be used to generate more dollars (not to mention that mysterious media substance known as momentum).

John needs our help: http://www.johnbonifaz.com/contribute

It's not often we get the chance to help a freedom fighter, a true anti-warrior, run for office. When a candidate like this comes along, a candidate for a winnable state-level seat who will help shape the national scene, we need to help him and help him early!

Massachusetts has a low limit of $500 per year--so those of you who can afford even $50 per month could max out by the time the election arrives this November. But the more you give right away, the more it's worth to the campaign.

You can learn more about John here: www.johnbonifaz.com

(or if you l! ive in Massachusetts, sign up to help)!

You can take a look at the Voters Bill of Rights that he is campaigning on here: http://www.johnbonifaz.com/votersbillofrights

But in an era of lies and corporate corruption, what John really needs now is the mass power of small donations. He needs you. We can say without the slightest bit of hype that there is no one running for public office this year that has fought harder for peace and justice than John Bonifaz.

Please give. He's for real.

11. Hey Bunker Hill - Boston Tea Party State, Break out the Bucks...
I'm strongly enough behind Bonifaz that I'm giving him money, and I don't even live there!

A couple of Hamiltons, a Jackson or two, a Grant and/or a Franklin...an honor roll...

This guy MUST win!
