[Peace-discuss] why not give $10 to David Green's campaign?

[Robert Naiman]

I think there's like 300 people on this list. If we all gave $10 as David
asks, that would be $3000.

Why wouldn't everyone on this list throw $10 in the hat? I can't imagine
any rational explanation. I gave my $10. Where's yours?

Friends;******
I have had a positive and energizing week collecting signatures around
town, and getting a sense of the number of people who hunger to hear that
somebody is running for U.S. Congress on the basis of intelligent criticism
and social vision.****
Last night at Channing-Murray Foundation in Urbana, representatives of
local progressive groups met to inform each other of their activities and
goals. I spoke about my politics, and I also spoke about the “credibility
barrier” among those who believe that I cannot be a viable candidate
because I do not have the funding that my opponents have. ****
This barrier will have to be overcome, *and can be overcome*, by word of
mouth and social media. It will only take 15,000 votes in a district of
500,000 of voting age for me to win this election. You can help by talking
to five people and asking each of them to talk to five other people, and so
on. Ask them to *join my e-mail
list*<http://www.davidgreenforcongress.com/involved.html>,
like me on *Facebook*<https://www.facebook.com/pages/David-Green-for-Congress/412043318895897>,
and consider *donating
$10.*<https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/davidgreen>
**
*Spread the word to your own e-mail lists and Facebook friends.*
I said last evening that the honesty and truthfulness of my campaign is
unique in this district, and likely unique in this country. That is not
political hyperbole.****
I said last evening that Ann Callis is a “law and order militarist.” You
can read support for this view on her website.****
Also last evening, the representative of the local Progressive Democrats of
America also spoke, with a different hat on, in support of George Gollin,
my other opponent. According to the views stated on his website, George
Gollin has little in common with the views stated on the PDA
website<http://www.pdamerica.org/>
.****
My views are clearly more supportive of the PDA’s general and specific
perspectives, differing perhaps only in my more openly critical views of
Israel’s occupation of and settlements in Palestine, and U.S. support for
these violations of international law and human rights.****
>From my supporters I need visible signs of support. Please go to my *website
* <http://www.davidgreenforcongress.com/>, get on my e-mail list, and *like
me on Facebook*<https://www.facebook.com/pages/David-Green-for-Congress/412043318895897>
*. *
*Please consider coming to my first major fundraiser as advertised on my **
website* <http://www.davidgreenforcongress.com/>*, Saturday October 19th,
at 3 p.m. I would like to have a strong show of support, both for
photographs and morale. Come for the first half hour, when I will speak
briefly and answer questions, or stay longer. Refreshments will be
provided. Please RSVP to
**davidgreenforcongress at gmail.com*<davidgreenforcongress at gmail.com>
*.*
*If you haven’t yet done so, please consider becoming one of the 1,000
individuals committed to making this campaign a success for the 99%.*
*We can do this.*
Best regards,****
David****
