Kerry needs our financial support. Letter from the campaign

[mzmolly]

Bush has had RECORD fundraising once again, and we need to compete if we can. They have about 2X the money on hand to spend in the coming weeks.

Let's help even the pot.

Dear DemocraticUnderground,

We've got to spend every dollar as carefully and wisely as we can between now and November. And as we learned in Florida in 2000, we have to expect the unexpected on and after Election Day. That's why I'm writing to ask for your immediate help on a very special project.

Election Day is several weeks away, but our campaign is already considering our options should John Kerry or George Bush pursue a recount like the famous Florida ballot dispute in 2000. That year, the Bush campaign raised more than $14 million in the Florida crisis, compared to Al Gore's campaign, which raised $3.2 million. We can never again be outspent 4-to-1 in such a critical situation.

Help us get a head start funding our recount efforts:

https://contribute.johnkerry.com

Our campaign is asking the Federal Election Commission whether we could use our GELAC fund to pay the expenses associated with a recount effort. We are optimistic that the FEC will rule by the end of the month. But we can't wait. We need to begin raising funds now.

Your GELAC contribution will also help in other vital and even more immediate ways. It can free up more of the limited public funds we have available to buy media, support candidate travel, and pay for direct contact with voters. Here's how it works. The law allows candidates like John Kerry, who accept public financing, to raise private contributions to cover legal, accounting, and related administrative costs. Without sufficient GELAC funds, we would have to divert portions of our public financing allotment to cover those costs.

That's a step we simply can't afford to take.

Contribute to our critical GELAC fund here:

I urge you to help us raise the maximum for GELAC. That way, we can spend our entire general election budget on the things that matter the most. That's our goal. Please act today to help us meet it.

Thank you,

Mary Beth Cahill
Campaign Manager

5. REALLY wish I could

I'm a victim of Bushenomics. Man, this generic peanut butter is sure tasty though. I have to help in ways other than financial.

6. That's cool ... help out however you can. I give a tidbit here and there

and am signed up to volunteer in my area. I'll be making calls next week.

:hi:

9. I gave during what I call

the two for one sale, when your donation of $25 was matched, making it $50.

Meanwhile, I donate by bringing supplies down, printing out flyers, issue sheets and articles to give to the campaign. I've even hopped on a phone a couple of times. Doing what I can when I can, for the first time in my entire life.

Did you paint it? :hi:

[LittleClarkie]

But no. I'm going to have to find the name of the artist, and let her know how much everyone loves her work.
