Quit a bad habit for the good Doctor Dean.
We all know that Howard Dean is a doctor, and we all have at least one of those annoying habits that cost us money. For some it's smoking, for some it's compulsive shopping, for some it's gambling, and for others it might even be more serious.

I want to submit a challenge to everyone who reads this: Quit a bad habit for the Good Doctor Dean. Instead of buying that next pack of cigarettes, instead of going on that unneeded shopping spree send the money you would have spent to the Dean Campaign. Channel your bad habit into something good, into something positive for America.

After you have maxed out at $2,000 dollars begin placing the money you would have spent on your habit into a jar and watch the cash pile up. This is the best investment you can make: an investment in yourself and your country.

I challenge everyone to give this a try. Kick the habit and donate the money you would have spent on the habit to taking back OUR country!

We have just passed the $1 Million Mark on the Comeback Bat and are still going strong!

1. Bad habit - Funding the campaign...

Although with Trippi gone Dean might go back to being a little more fiscally responsible.

7. That's what I thought too
I don't know where the bottom is, but it's getting painful to watch Dean hit it.

10. and to all of us Dean Supporters that you belittle
for sending money to his campaign.

Do you honestly think if Kerry becomes the nominee that we will give a flying rats ass or send HIM any of our money.

I wouldn't count on it...

He'll be lucky to even get a vote.

11. It's supporters like you
that are making my vote less transferable every day.

Think about it...

Sorry, couldn't help joking

4. Unlike the first 2 posters to this thread, I think it's a great idea!
Edited on Thu Jan-29-04 04:28 PM by MercutioATC
Although I can see how they'd be upset with you suggesting something positive for both us and Dean.

Shame on you.

6. Meldread - this is a fabulous idea!****
Ignore the negative posters here - theyre threatened by positive change and theres no help for them.

What a terrific idea and a great thing to do to take back our country.

Thanks for the uplifting post****

Positive repetition strengthens and confirms. The more solutions we come up with followed by action, the more success we will see.

Im getting a jar out right now.

12. Thanks for the possitive feedback.
I thought it would be a good idea to go with a "doctor" theme, and on top of that it's a positive way to improve the campaign as well as yourself. There are all sorts of things we can cut back on to help Dean.

I suppose those who give negative feedback just aren't as dedicated to their candidate -- I suppose it only shows America how much we believe in Dean and his message.

I for one intend to stand by Howard Dean. I stood with him in the good times, and now I will stand with him in the bad times. Then together we will win the nomination, we will win the White House, and we will take our country back.

Right now we are going to take our country back one delegate at a time until we win the nomination. It ain't over, folks. It ain't over till Howard Dean says it's over. Until that time I intend to fight tooth and nail.

Get your friends to join up. Spread the word. We need to get the donations flowing.

15. Its a great idea
apart from donating the money to Dean which I think is a waste. But anything to stop people from the noxious habit of smoking I'm all for it

16. Kerry's not a lock just yet.
Dean's second and third don't mean he is out yet either. So stow the smug bullshit, it's divisive as hell and could cause some to stay home. Or is that what you want?
