John Kerry led the Democrats to defeat in 2004 — is he doing it again right now? Kerry has a campaign war chest of $14 million, and yet he has only contributed $15,000 to Democratic candidates this year. Two weeks and a day from voting, the polls show that there are new opportunities opening upfor Democrats in districts that were thought to be safe for Republicans.

Those Democrats need money — now. If Kerry holds onto his cash in 2006, we can — and will hold him responsible for losing another national election to the GOP:

As he campaigns extensively on behalf of House and Senate candidates, Senator John F. Kerry is under increasing pressure from Democratic Party leaders and activists to tap his $14 million campaign account and spread the money around to help the party’s efforts.

Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, has given less than $15,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee since the beginning of 2005. Though he has helped candidates in a variety of other ways, his last major financial contribution to the DSCC came a month after he lost the 2004 presidential election, when he used $1 million in leftover campaign funds to help the committee retire its debt.

Do the right thing for your party, John.
