A challenge to progressives, lefties, grass roots activists, accountability advocates, and liberals
http://www.kucinich.us/contribute.html

I'm a single dad raising 3 kids. I just managed to put $25 more on my charge card because one of our most dedicated and hardest workers for social justice is in a major fight for his political life.

Dennis Kucinich is in a Democratic Congressional Primary up against a well financed developer candidate who wants to put an end to America's Congressman. In Dennis' words;

snip
Today's newspaper is reporting, once again, that I am being outspent heavily in my efforts for re-election. What is not said is where the money is coming from: Corporate interests whose narrow concerns do not allow for peace, for health care for all, for workers' rights. I can and will continue to speak out with your support.

snip
With a million dollars being spent against us on negative ads, false claims, and misrepresentations, we need additional funds to make sure that our message gets on television, radio, and through the mails.


My challenge is this: I want to see DUers send Dennis $1,000.00 or more aggregate over the next 24 hour period. We are only $975.00 away after my 25 dollar credit charge.

Options for donating by phone, credit card payment via the site, or by check/snail mail.

Please K&R this thread for more exposure.

and please check in to report how much you sent Dennis. Give more than you can, because we need Dennis' voice and action. Let's not let this deal go down.
Thanks for doing all you can.
