I just switched from Kucinich to Kerry (sorry Dennis)
I made my first $25.00 contribution to the Kerry campaign!

Here si my confirmation e-mail

Thanks Mark, your credit card contribution of $25.00 has been approved.

Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our campaign. With the support of thousands of Americans committed to changing our country, we've already raised $20 million online since January 2004! And with your continued support, we'll raise millions more and take on the powerful special interests funding George Bush's reelection campaign.

Working together, we will win in November.

While I am certain you are asked to give to many causes, your commitment to my campaign and change in our country is humbling and much appreciated.

1. Good job!
We need all the support we can get! Now that we know Kerry's the nominee, it's time to swing everything we have his way.

3. It's your call
I don't have enough to donate to both, and Kucinich's is the message I want to support now.

I'll be donating to Kerry after the convention, though.

6. I'm still behind Kucincih regardless of who has the nomination
It's the message that counts here and we need to stand up for Dennis's platform. It's the one most Americans want. Kerry has my support in the general election but until after he gets the actual nomination, I'm going to continue to have Dennis's signs on my lawn.

8. After Convention may be too late == the cutoff - i.e., matching funds
Apparently when Kerry gets nomination formally, he gets matching funds and NO MORE CONTRIBS! At least that is how I understand it. So if you plan to contrib you should plan accordingly.

10. I think he only loses the matching funds on donations after the conv.
It wouldn't change my mind anyway if I couldn't donate after the convention. I'll contribute to Kerry with volunteer efforts if that's all I can do. What little money I can contribute goes to DK until the convetion.

18. Seen that spot during my Newscasts tonight
Edited on Tue Mar-30-04 08:25 PM by MessiahRp
It was quite gratifying considering the Bush Whoring the Media did for his visit here in Appleton today even though we had damn near 1,000 protesters who got little coverage.

14. Gave $25 more to DK yesterday
Don't have much money to give at all but have scraped together what we could during this campaign to support Dennis. I may have to vote Kerry but Dennis and his message have my support to the end.

I Stand For Kucinich!! :)

16. I'm with you.
I figure all those people who wanted Kerry because he's "electable" can pony up accordingly. What little extra I can scrape up now and then goes to support what's most important to me, which is the Kucinich platform.

Kerry will have my vote in the GE, simply because there is no other choice. I also have been encouraging, and will continue to encourage, all antiwar and progressive activists to suck it up and do the same, because getting the criminal bush* gang out of office is THE number one priority. But my money goes to support what I most believe in, which is Dennis Kucinich's vision of real change for America.

17. That's your choice
And it works out for you. Kerry is a good man, and will be a better president than the current squatter at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

However, I, like many other DK supporters, are still going through our caucus/convention process. My state senate-district convention is this Saturday, and DK received about 45% of the vote in my senate district. We still have to elect delegates to the state and congressional district conventions, which do a lot of work for the platform and the rest of our party, too.

DK still gets my support, for now. I'll stand with him and the other DK supporters until he leaves the race. And after that, the DK supporters in my state are staying together to forge a new progressive organization to advance the Ten Points Dennis campaigned for.

As has been said before, whether Kerry wins or loses the election, the REAL work begins on November 3, 2004.

:hi:

19. You should be proud of having dated Denny and married Kerry
The Dennis Kucinich campaign was an unquestionable success -- he has returned to Congress as the undisputed liberal conscience of the Democratic Party.

20. I just stayed with Dennis for an April contribution.
AND I am working with people in other states where they have not yet had primaries...AND I am going to a meetup tomorrow...AND Kucitizens here are determined to elect a PROGRESSIVE to Congress, not just same-o,same-o big money guy. We raised thousands for Kucinich, we can do it for a great PROGRESSIVE.

We are writing to Congressmen and Senators for the Kucinich agenda for our nation. The issue that seems to ring the most bells is UNIVERSAL SINGLE-PAYER HEALTH CARE, since over 60% of our citizens are UNINSURED.

Kerry gets my reluctant vote, but Dennis gets my money and time and organizing to elect progressives will get ALL my attention in the future!!

Dennis, you opened our eyes!! When Wellstone died, we were bereft. Now we know there is ONE who can point the way for the nation, and WE WILL TAKE THE CHARGE AND RUN WITH IT.
