Kerry Raises Record $100M in Three Months

I think this is quite telling. While Bush builds himself a campaign warchest of $216 million, no doubt largely from his constituency of corporate interests, John Kerry has amassed a pretty substantial booty himself, including $25 million last month alone.

Read about it here.

Kerry Campaign Manager, Mary Beth Cahill, says:

"On March 2nd, we only had $2 million, while George Bush and Karl Rove had $110 million in the bank and a plan...to bombard our cash-strapped campaign with attack ads while we were unable to respond."

And now...

"We're witnessing nothing less than an historic change in American politics. Small donors -- regular Americans -- are within arm's length of turning the tables on big money special interests."

The significance of Kerry's fundraising success, to me, is that it reflects a large and extrememly motivated base of supporters, like me, who give what little they can every month because it is so FUCKING important. Which reminds me, I'm almost due for my small, but monthly, donation. How about you?
