Growing confidence because of your support

Dear Kucinich Supporters,

Your contributions, continued strength and optimism are fueling a tireless campaign whose message is having a powerful impact:

*
Growing confidence among voters that together we CAN influence the Democratic Party platform;
*
Tens of thousands of signatures on petitions that will send a message to the Party's Platform Committee (sign and download at http://www.kucinich.us/petitions );
*
The registration of tens of thousands of new Democrats from the ranks of independents, third-party members, and citizens who have never before voted;
*
A heightened awareness of the importance of participating in the political process, especially among those who have felt disenfranchised;
*
Increased recognition of the importance of openness and integrity in electoral politics;
*
Enthusiastic standing-room-only crowds in Oregon and elsewhere around the country who want to hear our message; and
*
A high volume of traffic to our website, www.kucinich.us, generated by news and events, and by positive - not negative - advertising.

This campaign continues to go forward, with your support, to give voters a voice to say what must be said -

*
We must end the occupation of Iraq and bring our troops home!
*
We must provide universal single payer health care for all!
*
We must respect the civil liberties of every individual!
*
We must repeal unfair trade agreements, restore American jobs, and guarantee environmental protections, workers' rights and human rights!


We need your support to be able to keep our message on the air. The goal: $100,000 - because television advertising is expensive. Thirty-second ads during primetime programming (American Idol, CSI, Judging Amy, JAG, etc.) range from $2,500 to $6,000 each. For national news programs like 60 Minutes, 20/20, Dateline, and Meet the Press, costs range from $1,500 to $3,000. Advertising on local news programs can be as little as several hundreds dollars in smaller cities to as much as $3,400 in Portland.

If we can rally the voters of Oregon, we will make a statement that the whole nation will hear.

By now, many people expected our campaign to be gone, out of money, and silent. But hundreds of thousands of you have reached into your pockets and purses to make sure that didn't happen. Now, more than ever, it is vital that we continue this effort to offer an alternative and a voice of hope to voters. It is crucial that we take our issues and our message to the Democratic National Convention this summer.

Our presence on the political scene is making a difference for our country. Thank you for your involvement in giving real change a chance. It takes the effort of us all.

Yours for a True Democratic Platform Victory,

Dot Maver
