Moving Forward
A message from Dennis Kucinich (audio):
Hi Everyone, this is Dennis.
I want to thank you for your heart, for your courage of your convictions, and for your commitment to this campaign. You've made it possible for us to advance this campaign into every state, into so many communities, giving people all over America and across the world a new hope that we can take this country into a direction of peace and prosperity.
You've made it possible for us to score victories in states like Washington where we came in third, and Maine where we came in third in a large field and picked up a couple delegates, and in Hawaii where we ran at 30% and gathered 8 delegates, and yesterday on Super Tuesday where we gathered delegates in Ohio and Minnesota. You are the ones who have helped make this campaign possible. And as we move forward into the next series of primaries, again I'm going to call on you. I'm going to call on your spirit and your enthusiasm, on your vision and your willingness to hang in there when other campaigns have long ago quit.
You know that there's something very special that unites all of us. It's a quality of a vision and a belief that we can create a new world, that we can create a world that gives people hope, that gives people a new optimism, a chance in life. To create a world that has jobs, and health care, and retirement security, and peace. That's the world that you and I have not only worked to envision, but we've worked to make real in this campaign.
Now that we head into the next primaries, we're going to need to do even more. In the next 24 hours there's another deadline, its the deadline for the expiration period for matching funds. So this is the moment that I need everyone to get on the phones and make some phone calls and ask people to make contributions so that we can double our money. By the end of March 4, that period will be over. So help us out, let's keep expanding our fundraising efforts. So that as we move on to Florida and Texas and other states, that we'll continue to have the resources to build a campaign and to continue the message that's causing Americans to admire the strength of this campaign despite the odds. So let's move forward. Let's move forward with the same faith and optimism that brought us together. Let's move forward with the same quality of spirit that has kept us together no matter what the odds.
And let's move forward with a renewed dedication, not only because we believe in each other, but because we believe in our country.
Thank you so much, I love all of you, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
Dennis Kucinich
