Very interesting update on the Kerry-Edwards website....

Contributing to the Kerry-Edwards 2004 General Election Legal and Accounting Compliance Fund (GELAC) provides important support for our campaign. The Federal Election Commission has just granted our request to raise funds now to cover recount expenses.

Your contribution to Kerry-Edwards 2004 GELAC will provide the resources to make sure we are prepared to win the post election day battles.

In addition to recount costs, GELAC helps pay for legal and accounting expenses incurred by the campaign. By paying for these expenses with GELAC funds, the campaign is able to spend more of its limited public funds on critical campaign expenses such as media, candidate travel and direct contact with voters.

14. Oh, shoot, msongs, maybe you're right. I don't see this anywhere on the
Kerry blog or on the front page! Where is this message about the recounts residing? I don't see it anywhere.

6. I think that is OLD news, see they refer to using their other
money for campaign expenses and voter outreach. that dates it?

8. I donated the night of the election. When I knew they stole it.
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 09:23 PM by Kerry in 04
Only to have Kerry concede less than 12 hours after I donated. That made me feel good.:(

11. They have been asking for money for recounts before the election.
I think I have that e-mail, if anybody is interested, I could post it.
They promised they will do everything they could to not repeat 2000. They didn't do anything.

13. at least....
...there ought to be an explanation of what was done with the money. I know eventually they'll have to file reports to the FEC on it, but I believe Democrats shouldn't have to wait months to find out where it went and why they appealed for it and then capitulated so quickly.

I wonder if Kerry knows that his status among many Dems is eroding very quickly due to the lack of after-election communication.

15. Maybe they are getting whatever
together first so they will have something concrete to say.

I don't know..I would like to think this doesn't just die..but I am reserving my judgement until I know more.

16. You're right
and the next time our army launches any surprise attacks, they better print the detail in advance!!

And why didn't Kerry tell me that he was going to put the "I'm John Kerry and I approved of this message" at the END of the ad?? I think I am entitled to know in advance of my contribution how every single penny is going to be spent.
