If you REALLY want to help the Kucinich campaign...PLEASE DONATE NOW !
you can do it RIGHT NOW on DU/Act Blue.

It's very fast. It's very easy. Do it now!

---------

Some are supporting Congressman Kucinich because they strongly believe he can win. Others are supporting him because that support his agenda (or at least most of it) and want those issues brought to the center of public debate. But whatever your reason Mr. Kucinich does not have the funding of the top-tier candidates. But small donations add up very fast. That's how the Dean campaign became a significant force in 2004.

So whether or not you are convinced that Congressman Kucinich could possibly win...if you want the issues Dennis Kucinich brings to the public square, if you believe his message of Strength through Peace is important, that single-payer universal health care is important, if you believe American needs fundamental changes; his campaign needs a lot more money then it has in its coffers now. He won't be getting a whole lot from the corporate lobbyist and their special interest... so ...PLEASE DONATE NOW ! you can do it RIGHT NOW on DU/Act Blue.

It's fast. It's very easy. Do it now! I did...just a few minutes ago

Edited on Thu Aug-09-07 10:29 AM by Douglas Carpenter
but I hope those who do decide to put their money where their mouth is.

The time is NOW for people to put their money where their mouth is.

It is the ONLY hope of seeing the Kucinich campaign amount to ANYTHING:

15. It is a big deal when you only have about $200,000 cash on hand
Donors should know that their contributions are underwriting Kucinich's last campaign.

17. there is no basis whatsoever to believe any current donations are doing that.
Edited on Thu Aug-09-07 03:49 PM by Douglas Carpenter
campaign debts of much, much larger amounts and much larger disagreements with the FEC are hardly a rarity in the real world.

at least his money will not be coming from corporate lobbyist and their special interest paying for access

but its a clever distraction from real issues.

Is you friend when you want them to be and your enemy when you don't. Clinton News Network. Isn't that what they're called? I think so. Do you?

10. I'm a college kid
but I think I'll throw him $100. I made a decent amount this summer, and I know that it is better spent on Kucinich than on the bottle.

12. That's cool.
Edited on Thu Aug-09-07 02:38 PM by Gregorian
I'm not into donating this time around. But Kucinich totally deserves supporting.

Thanks for being involved. If had done what you're doing, we might not be in this mess. But that's another story.

Edit- I just happily gave twenty. Yay! Go Dennis.

24. let's see, spending $100 on the bottle or donating it to the Kucinich campaign
of Strength through Peace.

I admit that's a tough one. :think:

But I'm glad you are chosing the campaign for Strength through Peace.

I sure wish I was that sensible at your age. :toast:

14. please keep kicking and recommending. This is the ONLY HOPE of mounting a serious effort!!
I'm NOT addressing those who don't support Mr. Kucinich and don't agree with his agenda.

I'm adressing those who DO support Mr. Kucinich and/or agree with his agenda:

-- and you can do it RIGHT NOW on DU/Act Blue.

It's very fast. It's very easy. Do it now!

30. ActBlue
ActBlue is a Democratic fund raising site. The John Edwards campaign is running all of his online donations through there. The website has really made it easy for people to raise money for all sorts of Democrats by doing fund raising on personal websites.

Check it out: http://actblue.com/

18. I'm in for $50, he deserves to be heard and have a chance!
At first I thought, I cant afford to do this but then some of you are right, if we are going to talk a good game for him, we should throw something his way. Even a dollar from everyone, that would at least help to keep him out there fighting the norm.

I feel justified also because its like I'm going against what the MSM wants, it makes me feel good!


Keep after em DK!

If anywhere near half the people who agree with Congressman Dennis Kucinich on the issues sent him a donation -- he would be a major top-tier contender very, very fast:
