Swing the Bat!

OK, everyone - for you non-Dean Democrats out there, welcome to a fun tradition we had on Dean for America! Howard Dean and John Kerry have teamed up to raise money, and they're using our favorite motivator! There is nothing more fun tham making your contribution for $5, $10, or whatever amount you can afford and watching the bat climb towards the goal. In the primaries we loved watching the power of small donations "break the bat"!

Here is the intro from the text of an email that HD and JFK sent today:

"George Bush has failed our country. And my top priority between now and November is making absolutely certain that the American people hold him accountable.

This administration will say anything to avoid responsibility for the massive mistakes it has made. But John Kerry will not let them hide -- and you can help by contributing to his campaign now:

George Bush cannot be trusted to tell the truth. He misled us about Iraq and his administration's paranoid secrecy cuts the public off from information about our government's actions. He would not testify under oath to the September 11th commission -- and could not even meet the commission in private without Dick Cheney's supervision.

...

We had a spirited primary season this year. But the differences between any of the former Democratic candidates are nothing compared to the fundamental difference between the Democratic agenda and the right-wing ideologues who are destroying this country.

John Kerry will restore American values and our nation's traditional purpose in the world. And the millions of engaged citizens who will participate in this election will revive our democracy. That work is already beginning with organizations like Democracy for America:

With your help, we can take our country back -- and take back the White House in 2004!"
