1. I am so glad our guy is honest and didn't opt out.

HE supports CFR in word and deed.

[redqueen]

2. I'm glad he's concerned about BBV

That's a huge issue. And election reform. He's just so damned great. I could go on all day. :loveya:

And he's in town tomorrow, and I'm taking a day off to go see him in person!

:party:

[The Blue Knight]

3. Don't Waste Your Money. (I say this as a Kucitizen).

The race is over, Kerry has won the nomination. Why throw money away?

Dennis did an absolute wonderful job and got his message across to many people---and hopefully the DLC/DNC.

But, Kerry is our man...so....all aboard!!

[redqueen]

4. Sorry, you're a former Kucitizen

We are CURRENT Kucitizens.

Kerry's our man in Boston, so we'll be all aboard around then, thanks. :)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

5. I gotta agree with him

The general election is going to need all the money we can throw at it. Save your cash for that.

[redqueen]

6. Sorry, but I'm going to send

money to the Democrat who represents ME.

I'll send what I can to who I have to later.

[Desertrose]

8. He may be YOUR man but he is not mine

and if I have to, I guess I'll get a really large clothespin and barf bucket before Nov and voting day.

Dennis is running for us...this is only the beginning of a movement and DK is NOT going away!!!!!

BTW- if you are now fro Kerry I don't think you are still a kucitizen...:shrug:

Peace

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

9. You do realize...

that this type of thing is just going to create a backlash against the Kucinich campaign, which would otherwise be allowed to continue in earnest?

[redqueen]

11. Huuuuuh?!

So, by being told many times on a daily basis by many people on this board -- not to MENTION the whore media -- that we should stop supporting Kucinich is 'allowing it to continue in earnest'?!

Sorry, but to me it seems there has BEEN a backlash against the Kucinich campaign since day ONE.

[Mairead]

12. Please, don't make us laugh.

"Keep quiet or else we who hate and fear Kucinich because of his politics will hate and fear him even more".

Gee, it's really hard to resist such a tempting offer, but I guess we'll just have to bear up.

[redqueen]

19. Shoot, DR, you know what?

I'm ready to campaign like mad for him - even though I'm in Texas and normally even the DNC would write it off as a loss.

I figure if bush is ticking off this many repubs, it might actually be close! If it is, I'll be wearing Kerry EVERYTHING all over my body for MONTHS! I'll be out there telling republicans "hell, you think Kerry's a liberal? Sheeee-it, he ain't no liberal! I supported the liberal! Kerry's a moderate -- let me tell you why..."

I'm actually getting excited about Texas -- how strange is THAT?!

Bush is going DOWN - HARD! :)

[scarletwoman]

32. 20 states HAVEN'T had their PRIMARIES yet!

Dennis has a chance to pick up more delegates for the convention, and I'm going to do all I can to facilitate that. I'm NOT "throwing my money away", I'm putting it to work supporting what I believe in.

I believe that our country won't be on the right track until the progressive message of social justice, peaceful resolution of conflict and people before profits becomes the norm. Kucinich carries MY message, and I'm going to do all I can to help him do it -- all the way to Boston!

[goodhue]

38. Need money for FL, TX, KS, IL, AK, etc.

[Mairead]

7. Bump for DK -- the man who pushes REAL solutions to the issues!

[redqueen]

14. No band aids - cures!

:D

[Mel]

10. Done

Thanks for the reminder!

[redqueen]

13. Oh no, no, no! Thank YOU!

[Mairead]

15. bump for more bread

If you believe DK should go on pressurising Kerry into doing the right things for us, then please give him as much money TODAY as you can possibly afford (particularly up to $250, since that size donation will be fully matched).

DK has seemingly already almost got Kerry signed up for 'UN in, US out'. Who knows what more he can do with money and delegates?

Give him your money today and, if you've not voted yet, your vote in the primary.

Do it now, before it slips your mind.

[redqueen]

16. Great idea - yes, do it NOW!

How horrible would that be? To wake up tomorrow and realize - DANG! - you forgot to donate to Kucinich's campaign. You could always donate then, but without the added bang of the matching funds.

If you're serious about getting the liberal agenda implemented, then please, donate today. It won't take long. And you'll feel better having made your contribution to the LIBERAL cause. :)

Remember, the country's not going to shift back to the left on its own, we need everyone who shares that goal to help with the pushing.

THANK YOU!!!!

[TrueAmerican]

17. Better yet send your money to Moveon.org, DU, or

the John Kerry campaign. Maybe you should donate to his house of rep campaign.

[redqueen]

18. Don't you have anything better to do?

:eyes:

[JohnKleeb]

20. I need to make donations

Someone has gotta remind me to cash my work checks. Oh and I would gladly give to Dennis. If we dont get a President Kucinich, then lets get Governor Kucinich, Senator, Majority Whip, Speaker Kucinich. Hes the best. I will gladly give some money to him.

[redqueen]

21. If you can do it today, please do!

This is the last day to qualify for the fed matching dollars, so it's a great boost for his positive liberal message of hope!

[revcarol]

23. As long as it is dated TODAY, your check money order or whatever

will still get the matching funds.

HiJohn Kleeb. How ya doin'?:hi:

[JohnKleeb]

26. I'll try do

I need to one cash the checks. I have donated to him before.

[WilliamPitt]

22. Question?

Are they getting all the matching funds, or just .46 cents on the dollar? I ask because when I was on board, the FEC let it be known that they had 'screwed up' their accounting, that the Matching Funds fund was very low, and that campaigns were only getting .46 cents on the dollar of what they were owed. The shortfall was to be made up after April 15th. Did that change?

This was, by the way, huge. The departure of Clark and Edwards had a great deal to do with their primary scorecards, but also had a hell of a lot to do with the fact that they were going to get only half of what they were expecting from the FEC. The Kucinich campaign, by comparison, has been budgeting wisely.

[Mairead]

24. I think they're getting 46c cash and the rest as an IOU

but I wouldn't actually swear to it.

[WilliamPitt]

25. That's how it was when I was there

Pisser, innit?

[revcarol]

28. We seem to be the only fiscally responsible campaign.

Kucitizens are making up the difference of what DK should have gotten. I'M SO PROUD TO HELP!!

[Mairead]

31. Pisser indeed. We can only hope he got that tideover loan for peanuts.

He certainly should have got it at prime or less, let's hope it was less.

[scarletwoman]

27. Yes! Just donated, and was about to start a thread about this very thing!

Got home from work, remembered that today was the matching funds deadline, took care of THAT -- and figured I'd better start a thread about it.

So glad you've already got it covered! Thank you redqueen!

:loveya:

[redqueen]

29. My pleasure, scarletwoman

Thank you so much for your help!!!!

I'm so excited that you're a delegate!

I'm so excited that I get to see the KOOCH tomorrow!!!!

:loveya:

[scarletwoman]

34. I'm excited for you too! DK in person is AWESOME!

Bless your heart for your unwavering support!

30. Donate to Kerry because he is the one facing Bush.

At this point it is a waste of money to donate to Kucinich. Kerry needs the money much much more.

And BTW, I voted for Kucinich's delegates.

[scarletwoman]

35. My money goes to support what I truly believe in and care about.

I don't consider that a "waste" at all. Kerry will manage just fine without my 20 bucks, methinks. Surely all the people who have jumped on the Kerry bandwagon are sending him their money, too?

Please know that I appreciate your voting for Kucinich's delegates, thank you! I'm going to continue donating to Dennis until ALL the states have had their primaries, because I'm hoping he can pick up still more delegates.

He represents ME in the Democratic party, he carries the message that I want the party to hear. I'm putting my money where my heart is, with absolutely no apology.

As far as I'm concerned, getting bush* out of the White House is just the BEGINNING of the battle. I consider my contributions to Kucinich to be part of the groundwork for the much larger struggle ahead.

[Mairead]

33. Does anyone actually know WHY today's the last day?

I'd have thought it'd be the end of the month. What am I not understanding?

[found object]

36. just made my 2nd donation. thanks for the heads up!

I'm sure he'll put it to good use.

[revcarol]

40. Welcome to DU, Cath

:hi: Good to hear from a Kucitizen I had not met before.

Thank you. Dennis does manage to squeeze a lot of bang for the buck out, thanks to a HUGE CONTINGENT OF VOLUNTEERS. I salute you one and all.:kick:

39. you realize that you pay that matching money right ?

it doesn't come out of thin air.

basically you're paying him for no further reason... twice.

time to put this to rest.

[revcarol]

41. Wilco. PLEASE check that little box on your tax return

to keep this money flowing. We need to assure that NON-MILLIONAIRES CAN RUN FOR OFFICE.

Thank you. This message brought to you by a non-millionaire. :evilgrin:

[snoochie]

42. YOU don't think there's a reason

Obviously WE do.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

43. Saw this thread

Finally sent in the $100 that various DUers earned for Dennis in February by starting snide threads.

[Zinfandel]

44. I have and will do so again....

Dennis Kucinich's liberal progressive message needs to be heard, for ALL of us...I support Kucinich, a FDR progressive liberal democrat, the writing has been on the wall for a couple of years it was going to be Kerry forced down our collective throats...fuck these blind assholes, who think they made the Kerry choice on their own.

Yes, Kerry is the nominee a moderate, and moderates stand for very little change, as the ongoing destruction of this country by the fascist republicans, Reagan, Pappy Bush for 12 years, moron Jr for 4 years and Clinton, a moderate, republican lite for 8 years...we are in desperate need of a huge turn around and changes in this country

Nothing has been done for the past 24 years to help the worker, via unions, Clinton was NOT and environmental president, all the recent republicans presidents have been even worst; Clinton, by supporting NAFTA (typical republican corporate ideology) has been a disaster for the workers of our country. President Clinton was always being accused by the republicans of “stealing” their ideas and philosophy, because he did. But he also put invoked tax increases on the wealthy. He was not a racist, a homophobe or anti-women as the republicans are, so they hated Clinton the moderate, republican lite.

And when a democrats like Clinton, does indeed create a positive, like getting rid of the deficit, leaving a surplus. The inevitable occurs, the next republican regime loots the surplus and diverts money form Social Security, shifts the tax revenue over to companies like General Electric and other military arms makers, the same companies that donate to the republican party.

Moderates admit wanting to only making small changes, they think things will be fine, if we just get Bush out of office. There has been so much damage done over the past 24 years...making little changes just makes it easier for the future republican presidents to continue deregulation for their corporate donors, continued industry polluting our air, water and land in the name of "creating jobs" cutting of social programs and education, in favor of massive corporate welfare and tax giveaways to the likes of oil companies for "exploration" and continued military build-ups that just benefit rich republican contributors and their stock holders.

We should not be moderate about our country becoming a low paying Wal Mart economy, corporate controlled, a massive military state, as it has been for over the past 24 years. We should be making drastic changes; the corporations should have NOTHING to do with our country's political system. WE the people should be ruling, dictating to corporatism, how it's going to be and what direction we want to take our country, we should be controlling this countries destiny not the fucking corporations and CEO's and the wealthy, as it is now.

But moderates want to make itty-bitty changes, in the image of their personalities, they fear big changes, are afraid of their own shadows.

As if I've ever given a shit what a moderate has to say to me...they are in the middle, afraid of real and necessary change..."oh just leave things basically as they are, we don't want to make too many changes" simply because we have fears of the unknown.

That’s not going to help us, not when we are now dealing with the BushCo fascist in power.

[Mairead]

45. Well said! The "moderates" will be the death of us (nt)
