Dear XXX,
I want to talk to you today about the future of the Democratic Party and about a dramatic step that we can take to make our party stronger.
In 2004 you did something amazing. You helped build the largest, most aggressive grassroots effort in history -- and that has fundamentally changed the face of Democratic politics.
Thousands of you have written in about how to continue the fight. I believe the answer is to transform the movement you built into a permanent grassroots presence for the Democratic Party in every state across this nation. If we want to prevail in the 2006 elections, we've got to start mobilizing now.
To help kick-start this, I will make a contribution to support grassroots organizing at the Democratic National Committee in the amount of $1,000,000. Join me with a contribution of your own to show the incoming DNC Chair that you want to support organizing in your own community:

A new DNC Chair will be elected at the end of this week. Let's make sure that he has everything he needs to start strong. The Democratic Party should have powerful and nimble organizations in every single county and precinct. There's only one way to win - we've got to compete everywhere, all the time. Our party should be a constant positive presence in every American community, and we can be if we tap into the grassroots energy of volunteers.
In 2004, members of the JohnKerry.com email list alone knocked on millions of doors and staffed thousands of phone banks to reach out to voters. Members of our Media Corps had thousands of letters to the editor published; and members of our Phone Corps recruited tens of thousands of new volunteers to work in swing states. I know that for most of you, it was your first time volunteering with a campaign. None of that effort will be wasted as long as we keep building on what we started.
Together, your contribution will show the new DNC Chair that you want to keep working -- and it will show the Republicans that the movement you helped build in 2004 is stronger than ever:

Contributions will help pay for year-round organizers, ongoing recruitment and training of grassroots leaders, infrastructure such as phone banks and the latest technology to support field work.
The $1,000,000 I am pledging will come out of our campaign committee's funds. This is an investment in the incredible movement that you started last year - a movement that can continue to build our party, advance our values, and elect Democrats.
Thank you again for all you have done and all you will do in the future. Let's go to work and get it done.
Sincerely,
John Kerry
He needs mental health intervention and he needs it now.
""In 2004 you did something amazing. You helped build the largest, most aggressive grassroots effort in history -- and that has fundamentally changed the face of Democratic politics.""
Yes WE DID. And it has changed the face of the Democratic party, but not the soul....
Kerry has two types of steps. Flip and Flop.
"Dear John,
That salutation pretty much says it all, doesn't it?
Typical Dem Voter"
They left out a line:
Working together, we can turn the Democratic Party into the permanent minority coalition of hippies, bed-wetters, leeches and Communist infiltrators it was always meant to be. We're already half-way there!
His donation comes from his campaign committee funds.
I suspect Teresa must have cut him off or he is just plain cheap.
Put up or shut up you loser.
Oh WOW what a STAGGERING amount of money!!!!!! /sarcasm
Hey John Boy we are still waiting for you to sign form 180!
Where'd he get a million bucks?
Same place he has received most of his money in his lifetime. From someone else.
He says he is making a donation of 1 million dollars then tells them its their money that they sent to him to begin with. Didnt he end with about 12 million left over? Whats he going to do with the rest of it?. Kerry isnt personally putting up a dime , not one thin dime. It would take a really stupid person to fall for this.
Soon, very soon, remarks by John Kerry will cease to excite even the most minimal interest; he will lapse back into the well-deserved obscurity from which he briefly emerged. This man is a non-entity with a blow-dry.
"Our party should be a constant positive presence in every American community ........."
As evidenced by what, the very "positive" statements made recently by the Treasonous Trio: Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and Barbara Boxer? And then you can add Harry Reid, Nancy Pellosi, and Screamin' Dean to this toxic anti-American mix. Hey John, money didn't do it for 'ya in 2004 and it won't do it for the Dims in 2006 either.
Dear John:
I will NEVER go away!
Sincerely,
MarineBrat
No clue skerry
How very generous. He had $15M left over in his campaign funds. He failed to spend it on his own campaign or on the campaign of any fellow democrat who might have needed it. Now he condescends to off a small part of it to his party.
Kerry is such a jerk.
