Kucinich & Grayson are primary targets for every I-Don't-Owe-Anybody-Anything Republican in the country. Every true progressive should be "maxing out" for both of them.
::::::::
Two weeks from today, the remarkable 43-year political career of Congressman Dennis Kucinich will either continue, or it will end. I want it to continue. So I'm maxing out to Dennis Kucinich's campaign.
The Federal Election Campaign Act permits me to contribute $2,500 toward Dennis's March 6 primary. That's what I'm doing. Today.
I'm doing it for all of us -- everyone with a head, a heart and a spine. Every good progressive who will benefit if Dennis Kucinich remains in Congress.
I'm doing it for Dennis, because he's my friend.
And I'm doing it for myself. Because:
(1) If I'm elected to Congress again this year, all of us will get more good things done -- myself included -- if Dennis is there to energize and galvanize the Democrats in the House. And . . .
(2) When I wake up on the morning of March 7, the day after Dennis's primary, I don't want any regrets. No "if only I had . . . ."s. Whether Dennis wins or he loses, I want to feel that I did everything that I could to help him.
Maybe you do, too.
