Kerry needs to take a page from Dean in fund raising.

[GumboYaYa]

I just went to Kerry's site (www.johnkerry.com)to make a donation and it is far to impersonal of a process there. Kerry needs to get people more involved in the fund raising and create excitement and momentum. He needs the Bat or something like it on the front page of his site to let people see the differnce they make collectively. He needs to show donations coming in from real people in small increments.

And, yes, it was difficult for a die-hard Dean supporter to donate to Kerry, but once you get over the initial pain it isn't so bad. It sure as hell beats four more years of Bush and the gang.

1. He won't get even a cupcake from me.

He can just go to his DLC cronies and dip into their wallets.

3. I hope he doesn't have to go to the DLC.

One reason special interests control the process is that we let them.

5. I am glad that I am not the only one that will never give to Kerry

I was starting to feel like an outcast for not getting on the bandwagon. I have never been a fair weather fan and I will not start now.

I agree with you totally. I believe changes such as you're suggesting will happen, it's full steam ahead now. :hi:

I've been pretty busy lately.

6. Dean put together quite a dollar machine

I agree, Kerry needs to jazz up the site a bit. Not a bat (it can be original), but something similar that will cause some excitement.

7. Good idea

Kerry needs some grassroots fundraising. I know the campaign is very interested in using the meetups more effectively. Any Dean or Clark supporters who were involved in meetups and fundraising would be very welcome. Let's kick the impostor out of office.

9. On how to get it or how to blow it?
