A MESSAGE FROM DENNIS KUCINICH
RECORDED ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 31, 2004

TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO POSTCARD:

Hi everyone, this is Dennis.

Well, we're at the end of another fundraising quarter, and what's been remarkable about this quarter is that even though there's 8 candidates who have left the presidential race, I stand alone to carry the message that the Democratic Party has to stand for something.

We know the direction of the nomination is pretty much concluded. But what remains to be determined: what's the direction of our Party?

We need to stand for peace. It's time that we continue to insist to get out of Iraq, to bring in U.N. Peacekeepers, to bring our troops home. I'm keeping that message alive with your help.

We must continue to insist on a health care plan that covers all Americans. A universal, not-for-profit plan. With your help, I'm keeping that message alive.

And, we have to insist on fair trade. I mean, haven't we lost enough jobs, millions of jobs, before someone questions it? When will the Democratic Party take a stand for fair trade? So we can stop the loss of jobs, repeal NAFTA and the WTO, and go back to trade conditioned on workers' rights, human rights, and environmental quality principles. With your help, I'm keeping that message alive.

And finally on civil liberties, wherever I go in this country there's a great deal of concern about what we've lost with regards to civil liberties. A good example is the Patriot Act, and how we need to repeal it. You are helping me keep that message alive on the campaign trail.

Oh yes, the direction of the nomination is pretty much decided. But the direction of our party will be decided in the next few months. With your help, we're going to take the Democratic Party in the direction of peace, of health care, of fair trade, and of respect for and protection of civil liberties.

So I want to thank you for everything that you've done for us, but today's the end of a fundraising quarter and we need you to help one more time, so that we can meet our fundraising goals for this quarter. And so as we face the next 16 primaries and caucuses, we can continue to get this message out - a message of determination, a message of hope, and a message of confidence that Democrats can win in November if we demonstrate the capacity to stand for something.

So thank you once again for everything you've been doing, for everything you will do, and let's move on throughout the next few months so that it's not just about victory being in sight, but a new America and a new world.

Thank you and do everything you can to help us make our fundraising goals today. Thank you so much, bye.

Dennis Kucinich
