Osama Bin Laden Comes to Kucinich's District Riding an Elephant

Osama Bin Laden Comes to Kucinich's District Riding an Elephant

Dear Friend,

I am asking you for an immediate contribution at www.kucinich.us/contribute to help me fend off another outrageous attack by the Republican Party. The Republicans, whose Administration curiously has given up on bringing Osama Bin Laden to justice, have instead brought Osama into Ohio's 10th Congressional District.

Today, at last-minute, a Republican brochure was mailed into my Congressional District sporting a large picture of Osama bin Laden with the Statue of Liberty in the background stating, "He thinks one more attack might break our will. He thinks we aren't tough enough to stick it out." - So, they know what Osama thinks, they just can think of where he is!

Inside is a silhouette of the epic flag-raising at Mt. Suribachi and "STAND and FIGHT" next to it. Below that the warning: "Liberal Democrats want to cut and run ... to withdraw from the battlefield in the war on terror ... left-wing Democrats blame America." The piece ends with the clear implication that if you don't vote Republican you and your family will die.

The brochure concludes, "If you don’t vote, liberal Democrats will take control of Congress and end programs that stop terrorists."

The brochure is directed to those whom the Republican leaders hope will follow them over the cliff, those who believe Iraq can still be "won", those who are ready to attack Iran. The Republican Party brochure panders to deepest fears. Worse, it is lacking in conscience. The people who wrote this know better. And the American people know better. And this Tuesday they will demonstrate it at the polls by sweeping the fear-mongerers out of office.

Sincerely,

Dennis J Kucinich

Congressman Dennis Kucinich

PS As you may know, I have led the way in challenging the Administration’s policy with Iran, Iraq, the WMD fiasco, National Missile Defense fraud, intelligence fabrications, military tribunals, weaponization of space, and NSA illegal spying, The Republican National Committee and the right wing bloggers have attacked me for it. They are worried that I am in line to chair a top investigative subcommittee on National Security, so they are furiously at work trying to discredit me. I can’t be intimidated. You can read all about my work at www.kucinich.us.

2. Is he in a tight race?
I haven't heard much about Kucinich's race this year. I kind of assumed it was a safe seat. I hope he doesn't get ousted by some GOP moran.

3. I don't know if the race is tighter, but
the Republican efforts to oppose him are greater. He has garnered a lot of notice from them. They've increased the organized effort to defeat him; kind of interesting, when Democrats themselves pay him little heed. Why is it, do you suppose, that the Republican machine seems to have identified him as a much greater threat than the Democrats themselves do?

6. I don't care how tight the race is, he is about the only Dem who works
for peace in the Middle East.
He is one of a handful, for example, that spoke out for a cease-fire in Lebanon before Israel said it was okay to do so.
Damn brave man.

8. I donated... According to Dennis' website the GOP has reserved $2.4 million
"...in television time in our television market in Cleveland, so we have to be watchful."

I am worried that the Ohio GOP might Diebold Dennis -- they have Diebold machines that print paper receipts that stay at the polls for recounts, but their recount laws are also restrictive (to my understanding).

If anyone finds any polls on the Kucinich race - please post them, I would like to see the size of his lead now and next Monday after the GOP floods the TV viewers all weekend.

:grr:
