John Kerry needs our finacial support

[SoCalDemocrat]

I sent in $50. If you're able to help, Kerry can use it.

-------------------------

I am writing to personally ask you to stand with me on one of the most critical days of our campaign. Tomorrow at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, I will debate George W. Bush. And just 90 minutes after that debate draws to a close, the Democratic Party will reach a crucial end of quarter fundraising deadline.

To keep the Democratic Party's essential October activities on track, we have to raise $2 million in less than 36 hours. So you and I both have some important work to do.

I will carry our values and our determination to lead America in a new, more promising direction into that auditorium in Coral Gables. And I will count on you to help this history-making grassroots campaign meet the biggest deadline it has ever faced.

Do your part to meet our deadline:

https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html

When I step to that podium tomorrow night, I know I will be facing a determined opponent.

But I will stand there with the courage of my convictions and the confidence that stems from having millions of grassroots supporters like you standing with me.

Bush and Cheney may believe that they can hide their failures and get away without acknowledging their costly mistakes for 34 more days. But you and I know better. We know that the truth is catching up with them.

So today, tomorrow, and every day to follow, we are going to put it all on the line. We are going to make the final month of this campaign one of the most memorable months in American history. We are going to wage an unrelenting grassroots campaign that will sweep aside all of the false attacks and un-American appeals to fear that are the driving force of our opponents' efforts.

I know how much this election means to you. And I know how much you are counting on me. I am counting on you too. With the September 30 deadline almost here, we Democrats need you to act now. Let us work side-by-side and win.

Thank you,


John Kerry

8. amazing

I sent $100 when they said they needed $5 mill by 9/30. I sent another $200 today. They are WAY past the $5 million and have upped the goal to $7 mill which they will easily make by tonight.

They should raise it again. (Of course, I looked at my credit card bills just now and I'm not sure how wise it is for me to keep up at this rate!)

15. Teresa is worth $500,000,000.....she should give up 20% for

long term good of the country, which would be aprox $100 million,
more than enough to turn this election around for Kerry. This is a
once in a lifetime opportunity for Heinz Kerry, and it should not
be blown.

I don't believe there is a limit on how much a candidate can
spend on his own campaign.. If allthe money is in Teresa's
name, I know it can be transferred to joint ownership without tax
penalty.

[David Dunham]

17. She can only legally give $25k.

[David Dunham]

18. I just gave $100.

24. Teresa's lawyers have told her she can legally only give $25k.

The money is all in her name, not joint ownership.

21. I just gave $50 - I was tapped out after July but back in the game

now. I gave a bunch before the Convention and just $50 more. Let's make a statement before the Sept 30th month/quarter end.

I've got a couple of friends and a brother-in-law who only are RWs because of the tax issue. They have the obilgatory W'04 stickers so I asked them if they ever gave any money to Bush and they all said no. Then they asked me if I'd be willing give my $600 'tax break' back and I told them this: "I sent my $600 to the Kerry campaign and Democratic party". Shuts 'em up real fast.
