Edited on Wed Mar-03-04 02:58 PM by Zinfandel
and liberal ideas in this campaign, not just BushCo's (the republican corporate robot) far right bullshit and Kerry's moderate stances (and he'll be the Democratic nominee)...

I'm speaking of a TRUE FDR liberal social caring and understanding, government putting people above corporations, peace and negotiations, instead of bullying and humongous military might and budgets, strong environmental policy for our loved ones long after we are gone, instead of letting business pollute, exploit and control the plant, truly fighting for our civil rights and right to privacy, real funding for education and making the rich and the corporations pay their fair share of taxes!

If you can spare a few bucks for a more liberal progressive, saner point of view, (and not the least bit radical, no matter what you see on corporate television) Please do so.

Kucinich message at the very least needs to be heard by the mainstream American people.

Check it out & donate if you can.

1. Bless your good heart. And that's a great picture, BTW.
I was admiring it on the Dennis website earlier today.

3. Dennis needs our continued support
With Edwards out of the race, Dennis may be able to pick up enough delegates to give him a say in the platform.

4. Kucinich should be supported it will help Kerry and keep the media
Edited on Wed Mar-03-04 02:58 PM by Zinfandel
focused on the Democrats, :toast: instead of Bush and his ads and huge war chest and Kerry in return not getting much press until perhaps the Democratic convention, (that's not good).

We have to keep the media focused on the Democrats and what we are saying instead of Bush/Rove lies!

5. I'll talk to my banker,
Edited on Wed Mar-03-04 02:54 PM by GrandmaBear
and see what I can do. I agree that his message "at the very least needs to be heard by the mainstream American people." I'd like it to be considered in Kerry's Platform.

6. As poor as I am...
...I just sent him 40 dollars!

It's not over yet--his strategy this whole
time has been to stay put while everyone else
is forced to drop out...and they've all but
dropped out.

We'll see what happens from here!

8. He's getting my monthly allotment,
including $5.00 for one snarky thread this month.SO FAR

He already has Kerry pushing DK's "jobs for America by developing alternative energy."(JK's speech last night.)...was on DK's site and part of his jobs program months ago...

More and more people are questioning NAFTA, MFR with China, the WTO...

Kerry finally came out and said it on national TV,"Raise the minimum wage."

DK is ALREADY having an impact on KERRY!!

We need to keep the pressure on: UNIVERSAL SINGLE-PAYER HEALTH CARE, PRIVATELY DELIVERED BY THE DOCTOR AND HOSPITAL OF YOUR CHOICE.
Kerry's plan is just awful; after paying premiums, co-pays and deductibles all year you get....drum roll here...a TAX CREDIT.

My contribution will help get the message out.

11. Does anyone know whether campaign donations can be made beforetime?
I mean, is there a certain starting point for donating to, say, the 2008 primary? Anyone know? He's been averaging on the order of $500K/month. Supposing we were to continue that through these next 3 years--he'd be able to start out with 18M in hand. Or it could be PAC'd and used for consciousness-raising.

Or does everyone but me think that a daft idea?

12. There ought to be a thread to contact the treasurer.
Edited on Wed Mar-03-04 04:43 PM by revcarol
But pretty sure it is illegal, unless you are Tom DeLay and have people contribute to orphans, while taking huge payments out for yourself as costs, with no orphans helped.

He can have leftover campaign funds, but on his frugal campaign, there probably wouldn't be any leftovers.
