"Our grassroots supporters – the heart, soul, and lifeblood of this campaign – have launched an inspiring effort to raise millions of dollars on one day, December 15th, to show the nation and the world that we can’t be bullied, we won’t be bossed, and our voices will be heard throughout this campaign!."

1. *Yo!* And welcome to DU!

2. Did anyone hear Kucinich on Ed Schultz today? He talked about...

..... not being invited to the debate that the Des Moines Register had. He said that his staffers tried to do what they could to get him in, but that in the end.. he just didn't have the silly prerequisites that they called for.

He said that he wouldn't be launching any kind of complaint; that it wasn't his style to bitch about things like that.

But he did sound bummed that he wasn't able to attend, and he mentioned a few things that he would have said if he would've been there.

I can't recall the whole interview and Ed now makes people pay for pod casts... But still, it was nice of him to come on there and talk about being left out.

8. Done! I actually have a rule with Dennis- every time he says the "I" word

on t.v. or radio or I read a press release where he's mentioned impeachment, I send him a donation. America needs his voice so it's important, even if the chances are slim that he'll become the nominee, at least we know that someone is speaking for us. Go Dennis!

[cyclezealot]

4. we gave a larger contribution

than we really can afford , a couple months ago. Maybe we should have spread it out by a monthly donation.

[FloridaJudy]

5. I donated a few days ago.

But I'll happily cheer the rest of you on.

6. K&R!

[MrSlayer]

7. I wish I had a spare $100 for the Kooch.

This is not the best time of the year to be asking for donations.

[riqster]

10. I gave $20.00

...as they said, the $100.00 amount isn't mandatory.

On edit-12/15 was chosen because it's the date on which we adopted the Bill of Rights in 1791.

11. Small donations add up quickly. Good job.

:bounce:

[riqster]

12. Thanks, and a tip for all y'all...

After I clicked the button to authorize the donation, I got an error message saying that the system was unable to process donations at this time. I then checked my card's balance online, and saw that it was in fact successful and the funds were transferred to Kucinich for President. So be aware, they're having infrastructural issues.

Kooch is running on a shoestring, and this indicates that the website is getting more hits than expected. We are so used to massively financed campaigns that it takes us aback when this kind of thing happens. To me, it is a sign of hope.

9. Already donated $100!

Did it at 1 AM.

[Paulie]

13. Made good on my pledge!

Cashed in my change collection earlier in the week. :) :) :)

[riqster]

14. Bless the piggy bank!

:yourock:

[Mnemosyne]

15. $5.00 @ 5:55pm! n/t

[stimbox]

16. Kick for Kooch!!!!!

That sounds bad...

[riqster]

18. LOL

The nickname could be better, but the candidate is OK.

[riqster]

22. Kick for DK!

Sounds a bit better. :hi:
