4. Since you are proud of Dean's grassroots....

and use these numbers support your position;

Dean:

Contributions -

100% individuas
0% PACs

60% less than $200
11% $1000 - 1999
7% $2000 +

Lets take a look see at another candidate;

Kucinich:

Contributions -

99% Individuals
1% PAC

68% less than $200
6% $1000 - 1999
5% $2000 +

Allowing for the fact that Dean has raised far more money overall,
Dennis' percentages are actually more impressive in the sense that he is drawing from people who are ordinary, working class folk.

5. That's great!

And I submit that the numbers (percentages) aren't that far off. Great for both candidates!

10. What happened to Dean's PAC (or PACs?)?

Edited on Thu Oct-16-03 11:38 AM by Mairead

He started at least one (for travel expenses) about 2 years ago (http://timesargus.com/Legislature/Story/41713.html).

And it still exists: www.fundforahealthyamerica.com

Yet his website says he accepts no PAC money.

So what's the deal?

8. So does everybody but Edwards

only 16,000 of the 25,000,000 he's raised this year came from PACs.
