Dennis Kucinich: Gaza, reforming the monetary system and a plea for your support

As Congress begins, I have been leading the way towards addressing the humanitarian plight of the people of Gaza whose desperate conditions must be addressed if there is to be any chance for peace in the Middle East. I have also begun a campaign to work on the reform of our monetary system in order to bring about equity, prosperity and environmental sustainability.

I had to spend the resources you provided me with in order to retain my seat in Congress. I need your generous help again to fund our ongoing political operations including media outreach, web communications, office administration and issues campaigning.

I know these are hard times, but your contribution is essential to strengthening our efforts. Please contribute as generously as you can. Your support assures a true independent voice in Congress.

With hope and in peace,

Dennis

(Make sure the BLUE VOTE BUTTON next to the title has turned to a BROWN 'VOTED' BUTTON in order for your vote to be counted.)

Please also forward this message to your friends.

The top 10 ideas will be presented to the Obama administration and a formal nonprofit sponsor will be selected for each idea to help create a nationwide movement to lobby the administration and Congress to turn the idea into policy. In addition, a press event announcing the winners will be held at the National Press Club and the winning ideas will be promoted by MySpace and dozens of other partner organizations, reaching millions of Americans.

This poll has already been reported on by CNN, and the winning ideas will certainly receive a huge momentum boost.
