re: "In the 3 1/2 weeks since Iowa, the Kerry campaign will have access to $2.5M." - 2/15/04
Why are we NOT impressed?
Could it be that the greatest frassroots movement in presidential history exceeded that amount an raised between $3-4M in the same time frame?
Could it be that Dean raised about $6M in January alone, setting a new monthly record?
Could it be that the greatest grassroots movement in presidential history is on track to raise a third successive record quarter of funds?
All the pundits call for Dean to drop out because they assume that he is losing supporters and donors. In their narrow world, they can't grasp the concept of ordinary Americans supporting a people's candidate.
They conveniently ignore the truth that an average 700 Americans for Dean have signed up to support Dean this past week each and every day. In the past week, another 4,300 Ameircans have said "I'm willing to stand up and be counted; I'm willing to donate from my family income to support a people's candidate, I'm willing to hold signs along busy streets; and I'm willing to take my country back."
They conveniently ignore that the greatest grassroots movement in presidential history raised $1.4M ($700 in less than one-day) with over 22,000 donations averaging $59 and averaging a rate of over $200K per day.
They will probably conviently ignore that Dean has stated that we are not quitting. We have the funds and we are going the distance. We are going to regroup and press on. I fully expect that the campaign will publically post our new priorities and we will enthusiastically rally behind the onle candidate with leadership and execute his plan, including providing any and all required funds.
WE ARE HOWARD DEAN
The greatest grassroots movement in presidential history
Follow us to Victory - We are going the distance!
