OK, now that I have

- signed the petition - http://www.johnconyers.com/ -
- written to the media outlets -http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3820263
- printed copies of the letter
- distributed to my friends and strangers on the streets,
- forwarded the links to the sign the petition to my friends,

what else can I do?

DONATE TO JOHN CONYERS!

Remember from a prior post - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=1814747 - $50 donation gets you an AUTOGRAPHED copy of "WHAT WENT WRONG IN OHIO"



As regular readers of this blog know, I have never asked for a contribution on it. Today, I am compelled to break that pristine record. Raising money is an unfortunate reality of politics and, when you do not side with corporations and other special interests on legislation, you turn to ordinary Americans for help.

Today, I ask for your help in raising money for my re-election campaign and to help elect other Democrats so that we can end Republican rule of the House of Representatives, one party rule in Washington, and finally hold this Administration accountable.

For every $50 contribution, I will send you a copy of What Went Wrong in Ohio?(shown at left), signed by me, and recently published by the Academy Chicago Publishers. I do not make a penny off the sales of this book and this publication house published the book more as a public service than a money making venture. They did a great job. The book has an amazing forward by Gore Vidal and the text of my Ohio report.

If you can, please contribute today - http://www.johnconyers.com/index.asp?Type=CONTRIBUTION&SEC={E114EDF0-5461-49B1-B834-CED253FA9DEA}


Keep it up, DU!

3. If $50 is too much, get 10 freinds to pitch in $5 each
and donate the book to your local library, to be held in the reserve area.

write a news release for your local paper, describing what it is and JC's work.
