MESSAGE FROM CONGRESSMAN KUCINICH:

I've been thinking about you. I'm grateful for your letters, your emails, and your support for my re-election campaign.

I don't have to tell you how challenging these times are for all of us. You and your family are living it every single day – worrying about your job, your savings, your pensions, maybe worrying about whether you're going to be able to make that next mortgage payment.


I've been there for you. And I'm here for you. And I've been fighting hard in Washington to stop the government from giving hundreds of billions of your tax dollars to Wall Street financial institutions, banks, and insurance companies who've been gambling with your money and your future. I voted against the bailout because it is wrong to reward those who have ruined the system with speculation and greed. I've been fighting to put money into the hands of hard-working everyday Americans who, through no fault of their own, have become the innocent victims of speculators, predatory lenders, and federal regulators and watchdogs who haven't been doing their jobs.


At the same time, I've been under attack at home where Republicans are skirting campaign laws, spending a million dollars on TV, radio, and campaign mailers, using my brother's Ohio State Senate race to attack me and him with smears so vile, distorted and misleading that the Ohio Elections Commission says there's "probable cause" to take action against them, likely after the election.


The only way I can counter those attacks and smears is with your help. I need to be able to get on TV and radio to tell the truth, and, with only a week until the election, I need to do it now.

I know these are tough times, and I wouldn't be asking for your help if it weren't absolutely necessary. I know you want me to stay in Washington representing the people of Ohio's 10th district, and your vision of a better future. I would be grateful for whatever you can spare to keep me working for the people – 10 dollars, 20 dollars, 50 dollars, or more if you can.

When I'm re-elected, I promise you I will do everything in my power to keep fighting for the economic, social and political interests of the American people. But to do that, I need your help right now. Today.

Please go to http://kucinich.us/contribute or call our toll free number,
877-933-6647, so we can continue challenging the special interests who
have been ruining this country, and cashing in at your expense. I look forward to continuing to take a stand for you and for America.


Thank you.

-Dennis Kucinich
