Dear Friends,
Oregon delivered a message in the May 18th primary when 17% of the electorate effectively said “end the occupation - unite around peace, not war.” Colorado, Maine, Alaska, and Minnesota sent the same message at their state conventions over the weekend.
In Maine, Kucinich increased his percentage from 14% to 25%, collecting six national delegates. In Colorado, Kucinich went from 13% in April to nearly 30% and added nine delegates, for a total of 14 national delegates. And in Alaska, Kucinich picked up two unexpected additional delegates. The Minnesota campaign confirmed nine national delegates.
Thank you Dennis Kucinich for your courage and steadfastness in the face of often daunting odds. Your presence in the political community in the United States of America gives hope to many and we ask you to continue this historic journey.
We now take this message of peace, universal health care for all, fair trade, and civil liberties to the regional platform meetings around the country and then on to the Democratic Convention in Boston July 26-28. In order to achieve the goal of influencing the platform and uniting progressives around the issues, this campaign needs your help.
I ask you to say thank you to Dennis by giving a donation - any amount will make a difference - thereby ensuring our message and his presence is visible and influential in this critical election. Your contribution will help provide:
*rent for our office space in Boston
*money for travel to the regional platform meetings to get the Kucinich message into the Democratic Platform
*funds to allow for printing convention literature
*resources to print our convention newsletter
*resources to ensure a staff continues to work the national petition campaign
*capacity to meet our relatively small operations costs over the next two months
Please also consider joining Dennis in Boston as he participates in the Boston Social Forum on Sunday, July 25th, at workshops and forums outside the Convention, and at rallies and meetings where he will call for party unity around the issues. Everyone is invited. Click here to make your reservation.
As you know, we no longer qualify for FEC matching funds. It is only through your generosity and goodwill that we are able to continue this historic journey through Boston.
At the convention Dennis will announce the next step(s) in this movement and invite all of us to participate as the progressive wing of the Democratic Party takes a leading role in influencing the direction of this great country.
It is we the people who are called upon to speak as one voice for peace and prosperity. It is we the people who will shape our own future.
Dennis offers himself in service as a political leader who understands the pragmatic and spiritual implications of policies and issues that impact all of us. Thank you for your donation. You are making a difference now and for generations to come.
In the Spirit of Peace,
Dot
