Because America deserves better than Bush
I may not be George Soros, but I feel very strongly that I’ve got to do my part to make sure that George Bush is not elected to a second term, so I’ve been making what financial contributions I can to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Campaigning is expensive, certainly, but we’ve been lucky in the sense that Bush has been squandering most of his campaign funds--and so far has very little to show for it. (As an aside, is there anything Bush doesn’t squander? Just curious.)
Still, this doesn’t mean that a U.S. regime change is a sure thing in November, so Kerry needs help--right now--to ensure that things keep moving in that direction. Why now? Because Kerry has only a little more than a month left for fund-raising before he officially becomes the nominee and must rely on public financing for the general election phase of the race (the Democratic convention will be held July 26 ~ July 29). Bush, who already has a significant (albeit diminishing) financial lead, also has more time to raise money (the Republican convention will be held August 30 ~ September 2).
Please, if you have any political inclinations at all, take a moment to give some money to John Kerry. I’m not exaggerating much when I say that the whole world will thank you for it.
I would, except for those pesky American citizenship requirements!
Well, you can use that non-American citizenship to the world’s advantage if you think creatively (I’m not going to spell it out, but it’s a completely non-violent way of helping).
You can also meet up with your local Democrats Abroad group and contribute time and energy to fighting the good fight.
