Kucinich Congressional Campaign: he needs our help!

Corporations Target Kucinich at Home,
an Urgent Personal Appeal

I want to thank you for your support of our efforts to end the war, to create a not-for-profit healthcare system and take America in a new direction, so that we can have a government we can truly call our own. In connection with that, as you know, I'm running for re-election to the United States Congress and I need your help to make sure that I stay in Congress.

Right now I'm under attack by corporate interests, most of them from the city of Cleveland, who have an agenda that has nothing to do with the people of my community, nor with most people in this country. And so what I'm asking you to do is to help me stay in Congress, so that I can continue to represent the people of my community, the state of Ohio and the United States of America.
I need you, right now, to go to that page on my website, www.kucinich.us where you can contribute online, or send a check or phone in a contribution.

http://kucinich.us/contribute.html

I need you to contribute at least $100 to make sure that I can continue my work in the United States Congress. And if you can, to help me raise, with the help of your friends and relatives $1000. (If you contributed to the presidential campaign, you are permitted to contribute to this congressional campaign as it is a separate campaign. Even if you contributed $2300 to the presidential election you can still contribute up to $2300 to this campaign.)

If you can help us with this fundraising effort, I'll be assured of a victory in the primary election which is only six weeks away. Already television commercials are flooding the Cleveland airwaves with a message that is designed to try to knock me out of office. I've served with honor and dignity in the United States House of Representatives. I've led the effort against the war. I stand for peace, for fair trade and for a not-for-profit healthcare system. And now I need you to make sure that I can continue this work.

Please contribute now. Help us now.

I cannot stress strongly enough, the importance of you responding immediately. We need to go on TV immediately to answer the kind of attacks that are occurring.

I want to thank you for the great support you've shown me over the years. But I can tell you that now more than ever your support is going to be essential so that I can continue our work in the United States Congress.

So please give at least $100 dollars if you're able to, and help me raise at least $1000, if you're able to. You can enable me to continue to stand up and speak out for the people of Cleveland whose concerns are so similar to the concerns of people all over this country.

My voice is your voice in the United States Congress. I appreciate the opportunity to be someone you can rely on in Congress. I stand up for the people 365 days-a-year, now I need you to take a stand for everything that we believe in.
Thank you

Dennis Kucinich

For the last few months Ohio's long-shot presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich has been busy campaigning for the Democratic and that has made him vulnerable as he seeks a seventh term to congress. Four other Democrats are vying for his seat. ideastream® politics reporter Kymberli Hagelberg examines the field.


Perhaps the strongest challenger Dennis Kucinich faces is Joe Cimperman, who has the backing of business interests and of Cleveland’s Mayor, Frank Jackson. The two differ in their politics, but come from the same mold. Kucinich and Cimperman are both Catholic, were born to large, poor families and were elected to Cleveland City Council while only in their twenties. And neither man is afraid of a little campaign drama.

The last few weeks have been filled with reciprocal campaign stunts.

First Cimperman plastered telephone poles near Kucinich’s headquarters with posters of the congressman and just one word in big bold print - MISSING...

Cleveland Congressman Dennis Kucinich is dropping out of the Democratic race for president.

Kucinich will make the announcement Friday at a news conference in Cleveland. In an exclusive interview with Plain Dealer editors and reporters, Kucinich said he will explain his "transitioning" tomorrow.

"I want to continue to serve in Congress," he said.

Kucinich said he will not endorse another Democrat in the primary.

Kucinich is seeking a seventh term in Congress, but his long-shot bid for the White House has drawn four Democratic opponents.
