Donate right now to keep DENNIS KUCINICH in Congress!

[AZBlue]

THIS is a politian we need to hold onto - he's someone who works for us, who works for what's right and what's important. If you haven't heard, a little over an hour ago he introduced 35 articles of impeachment on the floor of the House of Representatives. He is running for re-election this year and while we must focus on taking back the White House, we must also focus on adding more Democrats to Congress - and to keep the good ones that are already there!

If you're tapped out or money's just tight right now, sign up for his newsletters so you can keep in touch with his campaign for the remainder of the election season. If you can donate even a little, that would be great too!

Keep this kicked if you agree!
Thanks! :hi:

1. Is his seat in jeopardy?

[AZBlue]

3. He won the primary in March but he's got a GOP opponent in November.

[hokies4ever]

5. I would assume he has plenty of support

He's anti-Iraq War and that's what the vast majority of Americans are. What kind of Dem living in his district would vote against someone who just recently tried to get his colleagues to stand up to Bush and his cronies?

[AZBlue]

7. Yeah, but you know the GOP Machine.

And now he's had the audacity to ask for impeachment?! I think they'll go after him. Dems will still support him - but what about the rest of his constituents?

[Breeze54]

14. Dennis takes NO Corporate donations! He needs $$ to win in Nov. - $1.00 per article of impeachment!

$35.00 donation to keep him in Congress!

:woohoo: Go Dennis!! :woohoo:

[scarletwoman]

2. k&r for Kucinich! (nt)

[SemiCharmedQuark]

4. K&R!!

[goclark]

6. Just sent him $50

Who is the lady in the yellow behind him?

[AZBlue]

8. Thank you!!!!!

You rock!!!

I was wondering that as well. I don't recognize her - but I'm watching it on a small screen on my computer.

[cascadiance]

9. Send him $35. Then he'll know PRECISELY why he's getting money!

I just did now...

And then go ahead and sign the Democrats.com petition and forward to your friends...

[liberalla]

13. $35 for 35! Good idea!

Don't worry, I'll keep trying though. Hopefully this means thah many others are contributing. If he raises a bunch of $$ from this, it would surely get notice from other folks in Congress.

[AZBlue]

19. "Overload" sounds hopeful!

Thank you for doing that!!! :D

[chascarrillo]

10. He's someone who finally coverted to pro-choice once he decided to run for president.

He's also someone who fucked over the unions by being one of a handful of Democrats who voted to change the name of DCA to the Ronald Reagan National Airport. And he's still proud of that vote.

We can do better.

[Breeze54]

18. You are full of SHIT!! He's been rated at 100% by Naral since 2002 !!

Everyone changes their minds, at some point, in their lives and so did he!

Haven't you? :shrug:

[Occam Bandage]

20. Yes, since he decided to run for President.

Everyone changes their minds. Politicians change their minds right before they announce a run for office.

See: Dennis Kucinich.
See: John Edwards.

[Breeze54]

21. That was not his motivation and even if it was, so what?

He was brought up Catholic and if you knew anything, you'd have read his reasoning and his family history.

[tritsofme]

12. On the contrary, donate to Democrats in marginal districts. Not Dennis who no serious

challenger.

[Breeze54]

22. He does have a serious and WELL FUNDED GOP Corporate challenger

Why would you discourage people from donating to ANY Progressive Dem in a race?

What's your agenda?

[tritsofme]

25. He'll get 60% of the vote if he doesn't spend a dime there.

I'd rather see scarce resources going to the growth of our majority.

[Breeze54]

27. How do you know or have control over where other's put their $ ?!

You don't and you have no right to tell others how to spend their $$!

In other words, who the f are you?

[tritsofme]

28. The OP is also telling people where to spend their money.

I'm voicing my opinion that if you have an extra $50 laying around, it may be put to better use in a race where we are fighting to hold or have the ability to capture a traditionally Republican district.

[Breeze54]

30. No, you're acting against an incumbent that needs campaign money!

Who are you to say or decide if people have the $ to donate?

You have a cause, a possible Dem that needs help? Then post it!!!

But don't SHIT all over THIS Congressman's need for campaign money!!

Gheesh! :wtf: is wrong with some of you people?!? :silly:

[Occam Bandage]

33. He doesn't need it. Kucinich has gotten double the GOP vote in each of the last 5 elections.

He'll win handily, even if he doesn't spend a dollar. Send your cash to the DCCC or DSCC; they'll allocate it to the races that actually need the money.

[Breeze54]

36. Byte me! I'll send MY CASH where I want to send it!!

:silly:

[Occam Bandage]

39. So, it's great if the OP tells you where to send your cash.

If I tell you that isn't the best of ideas, and that other Democrats need your cash more than DK, then I've crossed some sort of line.

Gotcha.

[Breeze54]

42. Hijacking threads is against DU Rules!

Stop Hijacking this thread for your own nefarious reasons.

You want people to donate elsewhere?

Then START YOUR OWN THREAD!!!!

[Occam Bandage]

44. Great. So is posting child pornography. Fortunately, neither is occurring here.

[Breeze54]

48. Denial is not just a river in Egypt. n/t

[Occam Bandage]

50. A rolling stone gathers no moss. n/t

[Breeze54]

53. "Without fools the rest of us could not succeed." ~ ~ ~ Mark Twain

[Occam Bandage]

35. Because that's money that could go to a progressive Dem in a contested district.

DK is in one of the safest seats in the country. His "challenger" is a patsy like any other; he's just another punching bag who'll get blown out by thirty points or more, just like each of the last five patsies they've sent out against him.

[Breeze54]

37. You are very dense ! It isn't YOUR choice to make!!

And how do you know who has how much $$ to send to anyone?

It's not YOUR CALL to discourage others, if they wish to donate!

That's what fucking FREEPERS DO!! :grr:

[Occam Bandage]

40. Then take it up with the OP, who started this thread by suggesting people direct

their cash in a certain way. I suggest that the same dollars would better serve liberalism and the Democratic party by going to competitive races.

It is indeed my call to "discourage" others. I possess the same limited free speech on this site that you do. I can say that one use of money is better than another, just like you can, and just like the OP did.

Your invocation of "freepers" made me giggle.

[Breeze54]

41. No... you are HIJACKING THIS THREAD!!!!

Dipshit!

[Occam Bandage]

43. "Replying to abusive comments" is not "hijacking." If you don't want to see a discussion about

the best use of Congressional campaign donations, I would advise you to not discuss the best use of Congressional campaign donations.

[Breeze54]

47. I'd advise you to start your own donation thread, asshat!

:silly:

[Occam Bandage]

49. This is a discussion forum. We wouldn't have very interesting discussions

if people were only allowed to agree in threads--and if people who disagreed had to start new threads. If you want a place on DU where people are not allowed to disagree, I would advise going here:

[Breeze54]

54. You seem to be working against Kucinich... why is that?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/forums/rules.html

You are not permitted to use this message board to work for the defeat of the Democratic Party nominee for any political office. If you wish to work for the defeat of any Democratic candidate in any General Election, then you are welcome to use someone else's bandwidth on some other website.

[Occam Bandage]

16. Better idea: Donate to Democrats in contested districts, not

ones in safe seats--even if those safe-seat Dems occasionally grandstand to pick up lefty donations, and even if they run vanity Presidential campaigns every leap year.

[Breeze54]

23. Did you take a wrong turn at freeperville?

You suck! :puke:

[Occam Bandage]

32. No. I appreciate fixing America more than I appreciate political theater.

[Moochy]

26. Damned Lefty's!!!!11

Man you really let the mask slip sometimes mr bandage.

[Fox Mulder]

29. What kind of crap is this?

I just donated $50 to Dennis after seeing your post.

[Breeze54]

31. Love ya, Fox!!

:loveya:

[Occam Bandage]

34. The "maybe we should give money to

Democrats who are up against actual Republican challengers, not Democrats who regularly win re-election by thirty points" type of crap.

[liberalla]

17. John Conyers is answering the phone tonight!

See this thread I JUST SPOKE WITH JOHN CONYERS

and help make some phone calls in support of Dennis!

[Breeze54]

24. You Rock, liberalla !

[thoughtcrime1984]

45. KUCINICH has been the best liberal legislator I have ever seen!

He MUST retain his seat! MUST!!!

[Occam Bandage]

51. Don't worry. He will. He wins by thirty points every year. His district's great.
