Dear Friend,
Now that my 2004 campaign for president has come to a conclusion, I must immediately turn my attention to retaining my seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. You can help.
I have two opponents in the race for congress in Ohio's 10th Congressional District, each unfortunately running highly negative campaigns, which attack me for my opposition to the war in Iraq. I believe the people of Cleveland will see through the negativity. But we must get our message out, now.
It was your generosity which enabled my voice to be heard in the presidential primary debates - and in auditoriums, union halls and living rooms around the country. Together we set a higher tone. We reminded Americans of the higher purpose of nationhood. We affirmed the power of the human heart to transform ourselves, our politics, our nation and the world.
Your help is needed now to ensure that I will be re-elected to Congress. Your help will keep our message of hope alive in Washington, DC. Your help will enable me to continue to be a voice for a new vision and a new direction for America - the end of fear and the beginning of hope. I want to continue to be your voice for peace, for international cooperation, nuclear disarmament, for health care for all, for jobs, for fair trade, for civil liberties, and for the education of our children.
Our campaign has an immediate need for funds for mass media advertising, printed literature, mailings, telephoning and signs.
Please go to the contributions section of our congressional campaign website at http://www.kucinichforcongress.us. In this altogether separate campaign, each individual may contribute up to $2,000, couples up to $4,000. Please give what you can now. Please forward this email to everyone you know. Contributions by mail may be made to the Re-Elect Congressman Kucinich Committee, at 11730 Lorain Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44111. If you would prefer to give by telephone, please call (216) 252-9000.
I know well that your generosity made it possible for me to carry a message of peace and hope across America, through the primaries and caucuses and into the hearts of millions of Americans. Our work together has helped nine states - Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Iowa, Minnesota, Alaska, Hawaii, Texas and Michigan - to write support for a cabinet-level Department of Peace into their state Democratic Party platforms! The legendary news anchor, Walter Cronkite, recently wrote a nationally-syndicated column supporting the creation of a Department of Peace. Support is growing. And the work continues.
Let's continue to make a difference together. I will be forever grateful for your help. Your encouragement and your love gave me the strength to conduct a vigorous, hopeful, optimistic campaign for the presidency of the United States. I look forward to continuing to put my heart and soul into serving our nation as a member of the United State House of Representatives. Thank you for all your support.
Sincerely,
Dennis J. Kucinich
