FROM JEFF COHEN, Campaign Communications Director
IOWA!
Before I tell you about the partying we have planned this month, here's what I saw Monday and Tuesday in Iowa, the crucial first voting state in the country. As mainstream journalists
acknowledged, no one had more supporters in the Des Moines Labor Day parade than Dennis, whose talk at the end of the parade was carried by C-SPAN. On Labor Day, our campaign
announced the "Rank and File Labor for Kucinich" steering committee, 32 Iowa labor leaders and activists from 15 unions reaching out to other union folks to get them to vote for Kucinich in the January caucuses.
Yesterday, the leading peace group in Iowa, STAR*PAC, resoundingly endorsed Kucinich as "the first president of the new millennium to stand for peace." Citing his antiwar leadership in Congress and his campaign positions, (including cuts in Pentagon spending), STAR*PAC threw its
weight 100% behind Kucinich. If you believe the corporate media, Dean is the "antiwar candidate" with all the student support. Wrong on both counts. The Kucinich rally at the University of Iowa Monday night was electric with hundreds of students ready to work for Kucinich from now until January...and beyond
TIME TO PARTY (2 ways)
MEETUP! Join your like-minded neighbors tomorrow night at one of hundreds of MeetUps across the country. It's fun and easy. Go to http://kucinich2004.meetup.com and RSVP. You may just meet progressive neighbors for the first time. There are new tips and materials available at http://www.kucinich.us/meetup.htm to help you make the most of your MeetUp. (Don't forget to set your VCR to record tomorrow night's presidential debate and ask others at MeetUp about getting together at a later date to watch it.)
"PEACE DAY" HOUSE PARTIES -- Sunday, Sept. 21 will be a day of house parties across America to raise funds and spirits for the Kucinich campaign. The U.N. has designated Sept. 21 as the International Day of Peace which the U.N. hopes will be a day of ceasefires and nonviolence; the Kucinich Dept. of Peace bill includes the promotion of Peace Day. Some folks will start organizing their Peace Day Parties at tomorrow night's MeetUp, so don't miss that (see above). To learn more about House Partying for Peace and Kucinich on Sept. 21, see http://www.kucinich.us/houseparty.htm
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ON TV
Dennis and all other Democrats will debate tomorrow in Albuquerque. It will be televised on PBS stations Thursday night (check local listings), and on Univision in Spanish on Saturday. Don't be a lonely couch potato -- get active, get social, set your VCR to tape it so you can attend your local MeetUp tomorrow night: http://kucinich2004.meetup.com
