Kerry Raises Quick Cash for 3 Vets
March 2nd, 2006 @ 1:36 pm

Way to go John Kerry… The WaPo’s The Fix Blog reports that John Kerry’s appeal yesterday to raise campaign funds for 3 of the Fighting Dems netted “roughly $250,000 for the three candidates in the first 24 hours.”

The prospect of a second presidential bid for John Kerry may be mocked by many Democratic party insiders, but Kerry’s fundraising ability — especially over the Internet — continues to keep him viable on the national scene.

The most recent example is an e-mail Kerry sent from his Keeping America’s Promise PAC asking donors to contribute to three Iraq war veterans running for Congress as Democrats: Tammy Duckworth in Illinois’s 6th District, Patrick Murphy in Pennsylvania’s 8th District and Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania’s 7th District. (Click here to read Post reporter Peter Slevin’s terrific profile of Duckworth.)

The Kerry appeal raised roughly $250,000 for the three candidates in the first 24 hours, according to Kerry insiders. That total includes approximately $100,000 for Duckworth, and $65,000 each for Murphy and Sestak. (The remaining $20,000 or so was contributed to other candidates.) The Massachusetts senator has now raised better than $1 million online in the last six months, according to calculations made by his aides.

4. I Gave To 2 Of Three Candidates

I'm not too crazy about the primary in the sixth district of Illinois but was honored to donate to the campaign of the other two. A fact the right loves to ignore is that having more veterans in Congress means less war.

It's not too late to pitch in! Visit

and break off some plastic money! Remember, the candidates are veterans!
