A Great Item From TrueMajority
It's great, isn't it, when someone bakes you cookies or gives you flowers they grew - or a handmade sweater or something they drew. Those types of gifts are the best. That's why we are so happy and touched that Stephan Smith asked us to give you a song! It's called "You Ain't a Cowboy." (Hint: It's about a blue-blood who now lives in Crawford, Texas.) It's a single that won't be released until June, but he's given it to the TrueMajority community because he likes what we're all doing together. Just click here to hear the song: http://www.truemajority.org/fun/cowboy.cfm
Stephan, who's toured with Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews, and others, dedicated his entire tour of 140 shows last year to raising money for community groups. The themes of his music - compassion, sustainability, and peace - are a good match for us all. Spread the love & happy listening.

A sweet poem [shared with me by a friend in the UK] dedicated to the handsome fella on the G subway [Brooklyn morning commute] with dreadlocks

The red rose whispers of passion;
And the white rose breathes of love,
O, the red rose is a falcon;
And the white rose is a dove.

But I bring you a cream-white rose bud;
With a flush on its petal tips,
For a love that is purest and sweetest;
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.

A Message From "NYC Friends Of Kucinich" Supporter [Rob Jereski] to All NYC Kucitizens, Deaniacs and other Progressives
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you all to contribute towards the improvement of our government by educating our neighbors and others about the thoughtful and common sense policies which Congressman Dennis Kucinich is offering. Your passion and dedication are heart-warming and encouraging and our work is part of that movement of activists which is raising voter expectations of what our government should be doing. I have been asked by local activists in NYC to turn my attention towards responding to Dennis's call to provide a Congress which he could work with to further our vision of peace and prosperity for all. I am excited about the opportunities which my running for Congress presents. We have formed an Exploratory Committee to explore these opportunities.

Please let me know if you're interested in being kept informed and/or joining our efforts. If you can pledge a donation to the campaign that will help us assess our strengths and manage our available resources. Just send me an e-mail at mutualaid@earthlink.net

We believe that we can win this seat in New York City, replacing a Democratic Leadership Council Democrat with another member of the Progressive Caucus. We've got a good shot if we raise a fraction of what the incumbent has raised and if we organize and work together to develop a strong field operation for my Congressional District. We need donations and staff to come on board now, and so we can achieve an early momentum to define this race and determine its outcome. Volunteers and donors do not have to live in New York City. Campaign work can be done remotely and donations can be sent from Alaska and Hawaii!! Please attend the first organizing meeting of our Exploratory Committee for this exciting opportunity. It will be held on Tuesday, March 23rd, at 7 pm. Please contact me at the following email address [mutualaid@earthlink.net] for more info. Peace & Solidarity!
