UPDATE

• We have less than one week left.
• I know there are millions of Kucinich supporters, yet only 1,088 have signed up to donate on December 15.
• I just watched the Sean Penn video and there were who-knows-how-many students in the crowd cheering along. Do they know about December 15?
• How can we reach the rest of Dennis’s supporters? We may have to step outside of our normal reach to get to these people. We may have to do more than post a MySpace bulletin, more than post a story on Reddit.
• Think about it and email your ideas to info@december152007.com so I can share them. Then go out and implement them!

HOUSE PARTIES

• The official Kucinich campaign has taken the idea of the anniversary of the Bill of Rights and expanded it to another level!
• Check out their house party initiative – it sounds like fun!
• I went to a fundraising dinner for Dennis on Saturday and no one there was familiar with the December 15 drive. We must reach out beyond our immediate online community to get other supporters involved. A house party is a great way to do that!
• Sign up and let others find you.
• For those that can’t afford $100, this is a great way to pool your money with others (Although any donation amount is encouraged, it might be fun to pool your money. Plus, you can probably even convince the cynical guy down the hall in your dorm to give $10 if there’s a party involved.).
