Republican Claims Million $ War Chest Against Kucinich


Republican Claims Million $ War Chest Against Kucinich

Dear Friends,

A few days ago, Republican Party operatives circulated literature in the neighborhoods of Cleveland claiming that my Republican opponent, the former GOP county chairman, "will have a million dollar war chest" to try to defeat me in November. That's an outcome that Republican party leaders boast will show "how the mighty Cuyahoga County GOP slew the dragon of liberalism in 2008."

I need your help now to withstand this corporate neo-conservative onslaught.

The same people who raised almost a million dollars to try to defeat me in the primary election are at it again in the general election. And these are exactly the same people who devised and directed the blatant voter suppression activities in 2004 that led to George Bush's victory in Ohio. That's when my opponent acknowledged to the New York Times that he was personally assembling an army of specially trained recruits to challenge "The organized left's efforts to, quote unquote, register voters - I call them ringers" and even challenge mentally disabled voters at the polls!

The Republican candidate attacks me for saying George Bush should be impeached and for calling for a withdrawal from Iraq. He stands with the insurance companies on health care, the pharmaceutical companies on Medicare prescription drugs, the oil and coal companies on energy, the defense contractors on national security, and the neo-conservative wing on a host of social issues.

It is true that I have led the effort for impeachment. I believe our very nation is at risk from a President and Vice President who have virtually shredded the Constitution. I have put forth three impeachment proposals to defend our civil liberties and our national honor. And, as you know, six years ago I led the effort to try to stop the Bush Administration from starting a war against Iraq.

I want to return to Congress to continue my work for peace, for a not-for-profit health care system, for jobs for all, for education for all, and for sustainable energy systems. I want to restore our Constitutional rights!

At this moment, it is not be possible to withstand a million dollar attack by these neo-conservatives. I need your help. Please contribute at www.kucinich.us now.

Or send a check to:

Re-Elect Congressman Kucinich Committee
PO Box 110475
Cleveland, OH 44111

Or call (216) 252-9000; toll free, (877) 933-6647

I need your help. Thank you for your continued support.

9. Cleveland LOVES Dennis!
I don't believe it's possible for him to lose this seat. It's his for life! Folks in his district drive around with bright yellow "Dennis" bumperstickers & t-shirts. They adore him! He even showed up for a No War in Iran rally we had last month & gave a great speech. Wish I was in his district!

11. In a fair and just universe
Kucinich would be on the Democratic ticket. But alas, the universe is a cold hearted bitch, slowly increasing in entropy and cooling down ever so much to absolute zero.

14. hehehe I agree, and tomorrow we might be eaten by a self-inflicted black hole.
not that I really think it will happen, but I don't know enough about physics to really have an opinion. Still, the possibility has a sort of melancholy, ironic poetry to it.
