Kucinich Needs Our Help To Keep His House Seat
http://kucinich.us/

dennis was on randi's show wednesday and has an opponent who is corporately funded and outspending dennis 5 to 1.

he said:
"there are corporate interests who are raising huge amounts of money to try and take over the seat which really belongs to working men and women of my district"

"there are a total of five candidates in the race and one of the candidates is getting a significant amount of money from corporate interests"

he needs our help. he not only fights for the people in his district--he fights for all of us--all over this country.

he has a fund raiser with sean penn (if you're in the neighborhood feb. 17 you can get your picture taken with sean--i won't be there, but i'm behind dennis in spirit)
http://kucinich.us/we_love_dennis.shtml

i can't imagine that man not in the house of representatives.

ohio primary is march 4th

less than four weeks away

i'm sending him a little donation today. i hope some of you can find it in your heart to help him out.

1. Just like I stopped watching the dem debates after Kucinich dropped out.

So few in Congress lance our worst corporate dragons; without Kucinich, I see little reason to pay attention to the Congress, either. Crusaders are so few. Why bother. no one fills Dennis' shoes. Without Dennis, the Democrats are so nearly hopeless. I might go Green. Guess, after Kucinich my next favorite member of Congress is Henry Waxman. So, Few are willing to stick out their necks regardless of how a position plays on their careers.

2. Odd how one man who tells the truth can be so scary to some.
It is like Nader.

4. Cimperman used to be somewhat friendly toward DK.
what never disappoints me. the ability of humans to sell their souls and change positions fro self ambition. particularly when some special interest puts them up to it.

6. Are Clevelanders so gullible. ?
No one running really disagree with Kucinich on hardly any issues. Is that a debate? Analysists all say , Kucinich never ignored his Congressional district. Kucinich has so given Health care and trade issues a national audience. Healthcare, only one more influential in all of the US is, Michael Moore. So can Clevelanders be bought out by lies, time will tell. Anyone think a Cimperman will hit the ground running and further the needs of healthcare reform . To think such , you'd have to be stupid. To loose Kucinich's experience and fame, Cleveland will be the loser.

13. People are lazy and will take the easy way out.
If you think some one will stand by you I would say do not run for any office. I wonder how any one can do this type job as people are so mean etc. Never a thinks but always a to-do if they do not do just as we want.

8. another principled stand
showing how courageus DK is. Potential vote irregularities. What is more important than the value of our supposed democracy. Again, Dk's principals come before his career.

10. Kucinich website doesn't have a PayPal button
which is how I prefer to make donations, rather than giving my credit card number.
