Dear Washington Times, reading this thread:
By now you are on to this FR thread about Kucinich and fund raising in Japan for his campaign. This is not some crackpot, deadend ambulance chasing exercise. Take it from me, the Japanese language website(s) shows specific ways to contribute to the Kucinich Presidential campaign (and even is cognizant and admits that foreigners = Japanese cannot legally do it), but a way is suggested to help Mr. Kucinich by forwarding the proceeds of his book sales in Japan to his campaign coffers, and thereby being able to 'elect a Peace President in America" even from Japan. A Japanese postal system bank account number for money transfer is specifically offered and others have reported in as to how their sales are proceeding.
Please obtain a fluent Japanese speaker to sit with you at the computer and review those websites so that you can indeed see that this story has substance.
