Kick a habit for Doctor Dean!
Now is the best time to invest in the future of your country as well as your personal future. We all have those nasty habits that we are always meaning to get rid of -- smoking, drinking, junk food -- the time for thinking has ended, now is a time for action!

I challenge each and every person who reads this to eliminate at least one bad habit from their daily lives. Then take that money you would otherwise spend on that habit and invest it into the Dean Campaign and join us in taking our country back. Once you have reached the limit of $2,000 dollars place the money in a jar and watch it pile up. Then take that money and invest it into ways of improving your community, investing it into furthering your education or the education of your children. Channel your negative habits into something positive!

In addition to this challenge I encourage everyone who joins this challenge to forward this message to at least three other people who don't visit this message board. The more people involved the better off this country will be.

You can contribute to the Dean Campaign by visiting:

5. If you hate Dean so much
why do you click on every Dean thread? How about giving up that bad habit!

10. In the words of Dean (to an obvious disruptor) SIT DOWN!
If you don't like the idea, you're free to not participate. Disrupting a thread that is 100% positive reflects negatively both on you and your candidate.

2. I donated my last 4 haircuts to Dean
It got way too long and finally had to have it cut.. that may be why he lost NH.

$25 a month for 4 months.

6. I really think this is a great idea!
Very positive and inspiring. We all spend unnecessary money on day to day things that we could easily live without. As for bad habits, I don't smoke or anything, so I am willing to give up junk food and save up that extra money to donate.

14. Actually...
When Dean gets the money he spends it on advertising and paying his volunteers. The money he spent on advertising gets circulated around the economy. The money he pays his volunteers gets spent which then circulates around the economy.

So the money being sent to Dean is still being put into the economy, just not by you. In fact that money is being spent with your best interests at heart. Of course, as a Kerry supporter I'm sure Kerry has professed having your "best interests" at his heart. (He said the same thing to all the lobbyists who sent him money.)
