Kerry's focus 2005-2006

[ProSense]

Under John Kerry’s leadership, Keeping America’s Promise has donated more than $2 million to date to support more than 80 Democratic candidates up for election in 2005 and 2006. Keeping America’s Promise has provided grassroots support to Democrats in New Jersey, Virginia, Minnesota and other states across the country, helping to elect governors, mayors, state legislative seats, city council members and county executives in the 2005 campaign and to defeat Prop. 75 in California. This grassroots activity has included email appeals, fundraisers, volunteers, and direct contributions from the PAC. Kerry has traveled to 15 states to campaign on behalf of Democrats and progressive causes this year.

Go Democrats!

My hope: Kerry 2008

1. Thanks ProSense

Shouldn't we all be focused on 2006 instead of fantasizing about 2008? It only plays right into the hands of the corporate media.

2. kerry is focused on the here and now though! Lookie here!

You can feel the ice breaking. For far too long, Republican leaders have refused to challenge the aimless Bush "stay as long as it takes" approach to Iraq. But now, their unwillingness to act has started to crumble.

Today in the Senate, facing a Democratic resolution on Iraq, the Republicans offered their own call for President Bush to come up with a plan. They didn't go nearly far enough, but clearly our call for a concrete plan is gaining momentum.

It's time for the next step. Help our "20,000 troops home over the holidays" campaign place billboards in the home districts of Republican leaders.

Help place billboards in Republican leaders' home districts

To date, over a quarter of a million people have signed our call to withdraw 20,000 troops from Iraq over the holidays. That withdrawal should be linked to the completion of December elections in Iraq - and it should be the first step in the concrete plan for Iraq that President George W. Bush owes the American people.

We shouldn't let America's brave men and women go another day without having such a plan in place. That's why we're turning up the heat with our Billboards and House Signs campaign over the next month.

Will you add your voice and your financial support to this effort right now?

This is the next key step in a grassroots organizing and mobilizing campaign that won't end until we've forced the Bush administration to act. The best way to do that is to turn up the heat on Republican leaders in Congress.

It's important to get our "20,000 troops home over the holidays" message out everywhere. With your help, we'll run these billboards where they can be seen by key Republican leaders of Congress.

And, to extend this phase of our "20,000 troops home over the holidays" effort to your own hometown, here's what we've done. We've created a downloadable version of the billboard that you can print and post in your own home.

We can feel the momentum building every day behind our call for a concrete plan for Iraq. And our Billboards and House Signs initiative can keep moving things forward. Let's make it happen.

Sincerely,

John Kerry

P.S. We've got to act fast to place and produce these billboards. In addition to donating, I hope you'll pass news of this exciting initiative on to your friends and colleagues by forwarding this message now.

3. I wish the Kerry of 2005 had been the Kerry of 2004

4. Actually, he is the same kerry. But the media twisted everything

he said and did.

And made everyone lose focus.

5. And people were not ready to believe this stuff! Only now...

after hurricane katrina did it induce people to take off the "politics as usual tag" to see the good kerry's always done.

Check out Iran Contra and BCCI and even the way Kerry tried to interact with people at his rallys.

16. I wish the Democrats of 2005

had been the Democrats of 2004. Or the media of 2005. Or a host of things. Because there isn't anything different about John Kerry. It's just like Bill Clinton said, John Kerry just keeps on being John Kerry. Fighting for what he promises to fight for.

6. I agree with his focus on 06 -

and hope with you, but we will see later. Now is the time to prepare for 06.

7. Great pic!

I hadn't seen that yet.

I love how much success Senator Kerry's having organizing people at the grassroots level. I was really excited to hear he'd started a PAC, and I'm glad it's being used to help people like those pictured.

9. I agree that we should focus in 2006

efforts and Kerry's result in something so positive.

12. Senator is doing an awesome job for the Democratic Party

He is focused on what is important: unity. We need to stick together and get the elephants our of our government...all all levels.

I'm so proud of Senator Kerry for his unrelenting crusade for our side.

14. Stay hopeful. This place will attack Kerry almost as much as Bush.

But we have a great group of longtime BFEE watchers who understand his efforts, his extraordinary contributions, and his qualities.
