This is incredible--I guess quite a few of us aren't ready to give up just
yet! Keep the donations coming...we may have a few surprises in store yet for
the party establishment and the media annointers. I just got a ton of AK
addresses--let me know if you can write some letters. Keep on keeping on. Peace,

Kucinich contributions soar after Edwards drops from race

The withdrawal of North Carolina Sen. John Edwards from the Democratic
Presidential race on Wednesday sparked a record-breaking influx of support
and financial contributions to the campaign of one of the Party's three
remaining candidates.

No, not Sen. John Kerry, whose election results on Super Tuesday persuaded
Edwards to withdraw. Rather, the calls and the contributions went to Ohio
Congressman Dennis Kucinich.

In the first 36 hours following the Edwards announcement, the Kucinich
campaign was swamped with calls and emails of support -- and nearly $160,000
in campaign contributions, most over the Internet. Finance officers in the
Kucinich campaign put out a call to campaign staff to help handle the load.

"It¹s clear that people want the public debate to continue," said Kucinich
while making campaign stops in Texas. "They know that I'm committed to
taking our issues and our efforts all the way to the Democratic convention
in July, and they know that costs money.

"Their generosity is more than gratifying," Kucinich added. "It's a
testament to their support for universal health care for all Americans, jobs
and a full employment economy, an end to trade policies that allow U.S.
corporations to outsource jobs to foreign countries and force our own
citizens into unemployment lines, a speedy end to our occupation of Iraq and
the safe return of our men and women in uniform."

Kucinich said the outpouring of support is a reflection of people's desire
to hear what he has to say. "The ongoing debate among different ideas,
policies, and plans can only strengthen our Party," Kucinich said. "More
and more, people are recognizing that fact and supporting our efforts to
keep that debate alive and lively. I thank them for their support and their
belief that our Progressive voice should continue to be heard because the
future of our country -- and the world -- is at stake."
