Walking, Marching, Singing for Peace
The following email was sent by the Kucinich campaign on October 23, 2003. You can sign up to receive these emails at the official campaign website

The Kucinich campaign is spreading in so many ways, that you can now participate by walking, marching, singing, or even sitting in your chair. Read on.
WALKING
Jonathan Meier's walk from the Atlantic to the Pacific has left Maine and headed into New Hampshire, where Jonathan was met and encouraged by Dennis himself. Supporters are walking miles with Jonathan as he passes through their areas. Volunteers from 41 states have offered to join the walk when it arrives in their regions. http://kucinich.us/walkfordennis/walkfordennis.php
A Kucitizen from San Francisco was so inspired by Jonathan's walk that he came up with a way to participate without leaving his chair. Keep reading.
MARCHING
Rallies and marches to end the occupation of Iraq and bring the troops home are being organized in Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and many other cities around the country for this Saturday, Oct. 25. Learn more: http://www.unitedforpeace.org
Wear a Kucinich shirt to one of these marches. Bring Kucinich stickers to stick on supporters. Download and photocopy a huge supply of these flyers to hand out:
Peace Flyer http://kucinich.us/supporter_resources/otherpdfs/peaceflyer.pdf
Support the Troops Flyer http://kucinich.us/supporter_resources/otherpdfs/BringHomeTroopsFlyer.pdf
Peace Video Flyer http://kucinich.us/supporter_resources/otherpdfs/PeaceVideo.jpg
And make your own large creative signs. Here's a good basic theme:
"Kucinich Says: UN in, US out of Iraq! www.kucinich.us "
If you can't make it to a march, you can hold a house party to raise funds for the campaign. And it's not too early to start planning for a big day of Bring-Home-the-Troops parties on November 11, Veterans' Day. Order a free house-party kit: http://kucinich.us/houseparties
SINGING
If you're in New Mexico on Sunday, you can catch Michelle Shocked's benefit concert for the campaign from noon to 5:30 p.m. in the Oscar Huber Memorial Ball Park on Route 14 in Madrid, N.M. Call 505-501-2606. Speaking of music, check out this interview of Dennis Kucinich in the new Rolling Stone: http://www.rollingstone.com/features/featuregen.asp?pid=2016
SITTING IN YOUR CHAIR
This Sunday evening, why not gather together at the home of someone with cable TV and watch the next Democratic candidates' debate on Fox News (check your local listings). Remember to keep track of the minutes given each candidate and the accuracy of commentators' remarks after the debate, and politely express any concerns to comments@foxnews.com or 212-301-3000. Remember also to pass the hat for the campaign!
AN INSPIRATION
"Dear Jonathan, Thank you for the inspiration and the beautiful example you're providing as you begin the 'Walk for Dennis'," wrote Bill H. of San Francisco. "I'm writing to offer a word of encouragement." Bill went on to suggest that if Jonathan could walk across the nation, people all over the nation could contribute $50 from the comfort of their chairs. "$50 is less than the cost of a night at the movies (with popcorn and drinks) for a family of four. And with U.S. war-related expenditures now exceeding $1,500 per American per year, it's clear that $50 would be a wise and timely investment in a more sustainable and peaceful future..May peace and hope accompany you...and I'll look forward to walking with you and Suzette." https://www.kucinich.us/contribute.php
RUNNING OUT OF STICKERS AND BUTTONS
Materials are flying off the shelves and we need $20,000 to restock. Help us reach that goal!
YARD SIGNS NEEDED
Supporters want signs in their yards, but yard signs cost money. Help us raise $20,000 for signs!
FILING IN EVERY STATE
We're putting Dennis Kucinich's name on the ballot in all 50 states, but the filing fees are costly. We need $30,000 and know you can help us reach that mark!
SO MANY MEETINGS
With MeetUps and house parties mushrooming, it takes dollars to provide every meeting with a CD full of useful materials. We can do so if we raise $50,000 for this project.
