We Need To Pull Out All Stops To Keep Kucinich In Congress
Despite the fact that he is the best candidate on just about every issue, after being rudely shut out of the debates before his time perhaps it was inevitable he would not be able to sustain a run for president. But today we learned that there is a conspiracy of huge corporations prepared to throw millions of dollars at trying to kick our hero out of Congress altogether, by financing a troll primary challenge. They are running smear ads in his district already and we have to fight back now.
IMPORTANT: Even if you have already given the legal limit to the Kucinich presidential campaing, you can donate up to another $2,300 to his Congressional campaign above now.
They've done this before, when Kucinich stood up to the utility special interests, and refused to sell Cleveland's power generating resource. They forced his city into bankrupty, they hurt their own city to force him out of office. We can't stand by and just let that happen again. Kucinich is an irreplaceable advocate for all the issues we are fighting for. This is a not just a race he is supposed to win, it is a race we MUST win, and by a landslide. And we only have weeks to do it.
We've already sent out upwards of a thousand of the special commemorative edition Kucinich pocket constitutions, and more are going out this week. So if you can make a donation of $100 or more, Dennis wants to send you as a thank you gift one of these collector's edition pocket constitutions for your very own, just like the one he protects and defends every day.
There is no better investment we can make in the integrity of our democracy than a Kucinich donation. Look at what Dennis has done with his donations. He financed a recount in New Hampshire, which turned up enough problems to inspire a new bill in Congress to provide emergency paper ballot assistance to any jurisdiction that wants to switch back to tamperproof paper. And we generated tens of thousands of messages to Congress on that just last week.
He uses his donations to get the truth out and to inspire people to act on the issues we want ALL our members of Congress to stand for. And the best way to do that is to show them how strongly we support him. Because there can be no doubt, that taken together, his voting record, and his leadership, stands head and shoulders about just about any other member of Congress we've got.
Simply put, we need a hundred more like Dennis Kucinich. But first we need to protect and defend the one we've got, to stand up for him, just as he has dedicated his life to standing up for us.
And if you are so fortunate that you can make a donation of $1,000 or more, Dennis will not only personally autograph your special pocket constitution for you, he will send you a personal thank you letter to go along with it.
We know there are many of our participants who have been hurt badly by the economic debacle descended on us by the Cheney regime. We know you are doing all you can by submitting every action page you can get your hands on. But it also means that those of us who can make a contribution need to do little extra now, because the money will be so well spent in support of the progressive initiative.
Kucinich is under attack because he is having a real impact. Without his raw courage, there would be no pending resolution for impeaching Cheney in the House Judiciary Committee, gaining more and more support every day. They desperate to shut him up.
That's not going to happen, with your help.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.
Dennis Kucinich must not lose his seat in Congress! Everyone, please help him fight back to those who are trying to destroy him, and contribute to his campaign.
