More from the campaign
From Kevin Spidel, National Political Director:
Dear Kucinich Activists,
It has been, and continues to be, the greatest honor of my life to stand with Congressman Dennis Kucinich in this historic campaign, and to stand with the committed progressive grassroots network which you are a fundamental part of. We have all done the work, day in and day out. We have carried the signs. We have handed out the flyers. We have sent the emails to carry the message, we have gone to the rallies, raised our voices in the protests, organized the fund drives, and taken our friends, family and neighbors to the polls to cast that vote.
This campaign has been about the candidacy and message of Dennis Kucinich, but it has also been about you. As the Congressman has said time and again, he is not the one you've been waiting for. You are the one you've been waiting for. You have always been here, and you will always be here, to stand for the truth and for a better America.
Congressman Kucinich will be in this campaign until it arrives in Boston for the convention. But we must consider the day after the convention, and the weeks and months to follow. Never in the history of this nation have we faced a graver threat to freedom, worker's rights, environmental safety and global justice than that which is represented by the administration of George W. Bush. Simply put, he cannot be allowed to remain in the Oval Office after January 2005.
The movement which has grown around the campaign of Dennis Kucinich must be prepared to move beyond that campaign and into the wider political world which so desperately needs his progressive message. We must continue our cause and our movement to ensure that the voice and message of Congressman Kucinich is heard loud and clear at the Democratic National Convention. We must reach out to members of the Green Party, the Natural Law Party, and to Independent voters from across the spectrum so as to bring forth a movement so mighty and righteous that the filth of this administration will be swept from our government in an unstoppable, cleansing tide.
We have only just begun in this cause, and many miles lay yet before us. Congressman Kucinich cannot do this important work without you. Cast your vote for him in the primaries and caucuses which remain. Speak to friend and neighbor about him. Raise high his banner and his sign for all the world to see. Carry his progressive message, which is also yours, in your heart and on your lips. The mobilization continues. The movement marches ever onward. We stand for hope against fear, for justice, for democracy, for America. I stand with you, in honor and with gratitude.
Let us begin again, as ever in the name of solidarity and hope. Please help pass this message on.
