Building A Progressive Future:
Dear Friends,
On Wednesday afternoon you received a letter from me in which I discussed our campaign's goals and the great strides we are taking to achieve them. I asked if you would choose to continue our vital work transforming the Democratic Party from within and to help heal our wounded country. Your response has been overwhelmingly positive.
In the past two days, more than $180,000 has poured into our campaign headquarters from people all across America. Donations from people speaking loud and clear, with a unified voice and a uniform message: you want Dennis to stay in this race. You want him to keep raising the issues that no one else in this race is raising. And you want him to carry our dreams for a Progressive future within the Democratic Party all the way to the convention in Boston and beyond.
Your contributions to this historic campaign help us make that goal achievable. These contributions, and the messages of love and hope that accompany them, help keep this campaign alive and vibrant. With your ongoing support, we will continue to secure delegates for the Democratic Convention where Dennis Kucinich will work to lay the foundations for a Progressive future by putting human values at the center of Democratic politics.
As we approach the first anniversary of the U.S./U.K bombing and invasion of Iraq, we invite everyone to join with Dennis Kucinich in preparing for the first Global Day of Action on March 20th, 2004. On this day, people in towns and cities across America and around the world will join together to demand that our troops in Iraq come home and that the occupation end; that we overturn the Patriot Act and reclaim our right to free speech; and that we insist our government provide money for jobs, housing, health care and education. These are the very issues that live at the heart of the Kucinich campaign. We need to do everything possible to ensure that they live at the heart of the Democratic Party platform as well.
We urge everyone to plan for that Day of Peace and to add their voice to the chorus that will resound around the world demanding an end to war and a beginning of global peace. We ask everyone to take an active part organizing peace rallies and discussion groups in your own communities for this day that we believe will come to be seen as pivotal in our Progressive movement.
As the Kucinich for President Campaign approaches its one-year anniversary we ask that you take a moment to reflect on how far we've come. A year ago, hardly anyone in the Democratic Party was even mentioning Progressive issues; now these issues have become some of the most talked about in the political debate. For this we thank everyone who has worked so hard on Dennis's campaign. I urge all of us to continue the work we've begun to transform the Democratic Party from within, and to do all we can to transform our vision for a Progressive future into reality.
In the Spirit of Peace and Cooperation,
Dot
