I'm Maxing Out to Kucinich

Two weeks from today, the remarkable 43-year political career of Congressman Dennis Kucinich will either continue, or it will end. I want it to continue. So I’m maxing out to Dennis Kucinich’s campaign.[br /]
The Federal Election Campaign Act permits me to contribute $2,500 toward Dennis’s March 6 primary. That’s what I’m doing. Today.[br /]
I’m doing it for all of us – everyone with a head, a heart and a spine. Every good progressive who will benefit if Dennis Kucinich remains in Congress.[br /]
I’m doing it for Dennis, because he’s my friend.[br /]
And I’m doing it for myself. Because:[br /]
(1) If I’m elected to Congress again this year, all of us will get more good things done – myself included – if Dennis is there to energize and galvanize the Democrats in the House. And . . .[br /]
(2) When I wake up on the morning of March 7, the day after Dennis’s primary, I don’t want any regrets. No “if only I had . . . .”s. Whether Dennis wins or he loses, I want to feel that I did everything that I could to help him.[br /]
Maybe you do, too.[br /]
So I’ve just given you four good reasons[strong] to contribute – or contribute again – to Dennis Kucinich’s campaign[/strong]. You can do it for us. You can do it for him. You can do it for me. Or you can do it for you.[br /]
But as Nike always tells us, [strong]just do it[/strong]. And thanks.[br /]
Courage,[br /]
Alan Grayson[br /]

Most of my contributions will be in spirit this year,
but DK is a most worthy recipient.
He is one of the very few reasons why my voter registration still says "Democrat".

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

An his updates on the race after redistributing are disturbing. We CANNOT let this champion of the little guy (ok, pun intended) to leave the corrupt halls of congress. Thank you for you support of him.
