Dennis Kucinich email: Help defend the rights of American voters.
From the email:

Friends,

Once again, America is faced with questions about the integrity of machine-counted ballots and about the rights of Americans to decide for themselves who they should be allowed to vote for in this crucial Presidential election.

In New Hampshire, it's a question of whether votes were counted or manipulated. In Nevada, it's a question of whether the GE-owned NBC television network should have the power to decide who your choices should be for President.

The vote counts in New Hampshire are suspicious. And, today's decision by NBC to exclude Dennis from next week's Presidential debate - even though he met the criteria - is outrageous. And, we need your help to deal with both of these matters.

Because of the unexplained disparities between hand-counted and machine-counted ballots in New Hampshire, Dennis has asked for a recount. "I am not making this request in the expectation that a recount will significantly affect the number of votes that were cast on my behalf," Dennis said in his letter to the Secretary of State of New Hampshire. But, he cited “serious and credible reports, allegations and rumors" that question the integrity of the machine-controlled process.

If New Hampshire agrees to a recount, this campaign will have to pay for it. And we can't investigate what happened in New Hampshire - or protect every other state in the Union - without your help.

Likewise, NBC and MSNBC have made a corporate decision to exclude the one and only voice who represents you and those things that the Democratic Party should stand for. If you are as outraged as we are, feel free to call:

NBC/MSNBC at 212 664-4444 and ask for the Comment Line or
email NBC/MSNBC at letters@msnbc.com
PLEASE share this message with everyone you know so that the voice of the people will be heard and their votes WILL be counted.

Strength through Peace,
The Kucinich Campaign

I'm kicking in some $$$ - if we cat trust our votes, the rest is unimportant.

4. Thanks, also it appears that Dennis will be facing some bigger
competition in the next Congressional race.

His voice is almost silent.

:(

6. This has got to become a national discussion.
If Gore, Kerry, Dean, all of the spineless taking up space in congress and the candidates of the moment don't pitch in, I will never put stock in anything any of them says again (not that they care, but still).
