Dear Friends--I just got this note from Taber Shadburne and wanted to get it
out to you before Wednesday night at midnight so you can conntribute to
changing the political scene in a significant way. Here is Taber's note, and
a few notes from other of our progressive brothers and sisters

Friends, the kick-ass progressive organization, MoveOn, is having a special
primary which could really help kucinich -- the only truly progressive
candidate as far as i can tell -- win the democratic primary & then the
white house! please taake a moment, for all our sakes. love, taber power to
the peaceful!!

Please REGISTER NOW on MoveOn, below, and VOTE for Dennis TOMORROW. AND pass
this on!

***This could be the most vital moment in Amerian political history of our
lives. PLEASE take a minute now to forward this to everyone in your address
book.***

(....Still, insurgent campaigns can take off - as in 1976, when a
little-known former Georgia governor named Jimmy Carter won the White House.
... 2004 may be one of those rare moments when widespread distrust of
Washington insiders - combined with the organizing potential of the
Internet - might propel an outsider to victory. --Washington Post )

NOAM CHOMSKY HAS ENDORSED DENNIS KUCINICH. RALPH NADER SHARES AN EVENT WITH
DENNIS ON THURSDAY. BEN of Ben & Jerry's HAS COME OUT FOR DENNIS KUCINICH.

In our lifetimes, NO ONE has run for office with more integrity, vision and
political skill (he defeated Republican incumbents TWICE) than DENNIS
KUCINICH. With Dennis as President, our country, our lives and the world
will change dramatically for the better,

YOUR VOTE in this MoveOn primary is EXTRAORDINARILY IMPORTANT! --

Your vote will give Dennis visibility which the media has denied him. Your
vote will give Dennis' campaign millions of dollars, money which will not be
coming from corporations which he does NOT represent (in fact, he refuses
corporate money!) Your vote will be just the grassroots support which CAN
MAKE THE MIRACLE WE SO DESPERATELY NEED IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW.

And he CAN win! As he points out, he represents in Congress one of the most
"middle-American" districts in the country--Cleveland Ohio; and they keep
re-electing him, last time with 74% of the vote! His message RESONATES all
across this counttry!

Please REGISTER NOW on MoveOn, below, and VOTE for Dennis TOMORROW . AND
pass this on!

With this action, Bless us all, Judith Iam

WHO IS THE PEACE CANDIDATE?

Beginning Tuesday, activists who've joined the peace and justice group
MoveOn.org will be able to vote online. If you are one of the many planning
to vote for a "peace candidate," please read this email closely, and forward
it to others.

An interesting exchange occurred at yesterday's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition
Candidates' Forum, in answer to a question about the "Digital Divide" that
separates minorities and the poor from middle class whites in computer
access. Congressman Dennis Kucinich received warm applause when he declared:
"As long as we're spending so much money for the Pentagon, and so little
money for education, we're going to have all kinds of divides in this
country.The only way we're really going to close the divide in this country
is to start cutting the Pentagon budget and put that money into education."

Howard Dean spoke next and commented: "I don't agree with Dennis about
cutting the Pentagon budget when we're in the middle of a difficulty with
terror attacks."

That's a stark contrast on one of the biggest questions facing Democrats.
Dean describes himself as a fiscal conservative adamant about balanced
budgets. But if the soaring Pentagon budget is untouchable, are we being
candid with voters about delivering them an enhanced domestic agenda that
Democrats can be proud of?

With Democratic candidates promising increased spending in such areas as
healthcare, education and the environment, how can the federal budget be
balanced while Pentagon cuts are deemed off-limits?

Dennis Kucinich has made cuts in the bloated military budget central to his
campaign. He has repeatedly pointed out that Pentagon spending will soon
rival the military budgets of all other countries in the world combined,
that unneeded and Cold-War era weapons are still being produced, that Star
Wars missile defense is a boondoggle, and that the Pentagon has a trillion
dollars in unreconcilable accounts.

Kucinich's commitment to fundamentally shift our nation's budget priorities
toward civilian needs like healthcare, schools, cities, retirement security
and environmental cleanup has attracted thousands to our campaign, and last
week helped earn the endorsements of progressive Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey
and leading peace activist and businessman Ben Cohen. (Text of endorsements
on our website homepage.)

If you're an activist committed to peace and justice, think about these
issues before you vote in any primary, including the MoveOn Primary that
occurs this Tuesday and Wednesday.

If you have not yet signed up with MoveOn, you must register today to vote
for the genuine peace candidate, Dennis Kucinich, in this week's balloting,
at the following link: MoveOn

Love,
