Kucinich still needs our help
Just want to remind people that kucinich is still going up against big buisness candidates and is sorely strapped for funds. As important as super tuesday is don't forget about this incredible congressman who would have made a great president. As much as he needs your cheers of support and emails he needs your donations more then anything to get the truth out.

Right now lies are being spread on the airwaves. Lies about his voting record and how he is an absentee congressman (he has voted for 95% of the bills) lies about his care for his constituants and lies about his issues, priorities and what he cares about.

please contribute, help kucinich knock these ass hats on their asses.

1. Bet that $70,000 he dropped on the needless NH recount
would be kinda handy now, eh? I do want to see him remain in Congress, but karma can be pretty fickle sometimes.

5. There were no abnormalities or suspicions regarding the NH vote
Just a bunch of whining by Team Obama when the expected coronation was interrupted by Granite State common sense.

If a recount was truly necessary or desired, the why didn't Mr. "I Just Set a January Donation Record" fork it over, eh? Seems a bit shameful that Obama let Kucinich do the legwork out of his own pocket.

10. It did more damage than good, unfortunately.
Pick your battles and all that.

Once we go after one and are discredited -- the entire argument is lost.

It sucks.

2. His no-vote on appropriations cost our education system over $2 billion.
Mind you, there were other Democratic no shows too, but he and one other Democrat were all that stood between overriding Bush's veto. Unfortunately, Dennis decided that playing in Pretendland (aka participating in a debate for a contest that he had no business being in) was more important. There are, indeed, many lies that get spread about him, but his absenteeism helped cost our nation's schools billions of dollars. It's that simple.

6. If you can't find an appropriations bill,
you need to go back to school. I shall not take even a moment aiding you in finding that which is probably the easiest of bills to find. Here's a hint - they happen every single year.
