I know that many people who plan to vote Democratic in November are not planning to vote for Kerry so much as against Bush. Without further ado, I present:

The KERRY IS MY HAMSTER House Party.

(See http://www.livejournal.com/users/staralshain/160557.html for an explanation, http://www.cafeshops.com/kerryhamster to buy a shirt or bumper sticker with this theme.)

WHO: Myself, kimberlogic, chhotii, cos...and YOU!
WHAT: A fundraising party for Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign
WHEN: Saturday, June 19, 2:30 pm - 8:30 pm (to give those with tight afternoon or evening schedules a chance to show up)
WHERE: Generic LSE (ask me for directions if you don't know where we are)
WHY: Because he can't win without money, and it'll take a lot more to catch up with the Republicans.
RSVP: Yes. Really, even if you think you're only a "maybe." You can RSVP by responding to this post.

You don't have to be a hardcore supporter of Kerry qua Kerry in order to attend, you just have to believe, as we do, that Kerry is the best chance we have for booting Bush and his cronies the !@#*$&@*#%^%! out of Washington.

Also, because this is a fundraising effort, not purely a social gathering, we need you to arrive ready to donate money (there is no lower limit, just donate what you can!). Alternatively, you could bring something to sell or raffle to make money to donate to the cause (baked goods, handicrafts, and the like).

NOTE: I am currently researching the FEC regulations on the donation of money raised through sales, raffles, and auctions. It is possible that such monies are easier to donate to PACs (such as MoveOn.org); I hope to have the answer to this before the party.

"But wait!" I hear some of you cry. "I'd love to come to the house party, but I can't make it on that date." Well, I can't switch the date, alas. However, you can donate and have that money credited to this house party's total by visiting this page:

Your hosts will provide some refreshments, some door/raffle prizes, some fun activities, and lots of useful information on Kerry, Bush, and the erosion of civil rights in the USA. You will provide whatever donation or help you can afford, your enthusiasm, and your desire to reclaim the US
from its current madness (assuming you agree with us). Please feel free to bring friends, or to forward them this message.

We hope to see you this Saturday!
