Kucinich's web site team is composed of the biggest group of unorganized incompetents you can imagine. Those of us who wanted to help Kucinich's campaign were constantly frustrated by his teams inability to get shite done.I don't believe their site was hacked. those clowns don't have a clue.

Gail,

I told the webmaster that I would personally pay for and install a better forum on the site. I have a resume with 10 years of experience in IT, working for companies as big as ExxonMobil and Dell Computer Japan, and as small as local restaurants.

Whoever is responsible for running the site could find the help the site needs among the members of the site. This is what I mean when I said they the people running the site have become a liability. They are not harnessing the power of the web. There are plenty of people on the forum, like me, complaining that they'd like to help and they no one has contacted them. The have been complaining for months and months that the website if not meeting their needs.

If whoever if running the site doesn't have time for it, then should have invited assistance and delegated authority. By failing to do that, they are doing Mr. Kucinich a grave disservice.

Just like how you've been censoring my comments on the site, I'm sure you'll prevent this message from having an audience. I'll be mailing a copy as well, hopefully I can get though to someone who wants to fix the problem instead of cover them up and make excuses for incompetency.

Thank you for your comments, Max.

While I regret the annoyance our website has cause you, I
do not support your demand regarding our webmaster. Like
me, she is a volunteer who has been volunteering at
kucinich.us for over three years. We are lucky to have
her, Max.

Our problems are not about the webmaster. They are about
the website. The website and forum we had during the 2004
campaign and the re-elect years could be effectively
webmastered and moderated. The current website/forum can
not. We have some excellent tech people who are trying to
help with all this. However, most of them our volunteers
as well with other paying jobs they must attend to.

Our candidate, Dennis, refuses to accept any corporate
money. Many of the people who support him are among the
poor. Dennis is not a wealthy person. We simply do not
have the money to do some of the things we were trying to
do, in my opinion. Hopefully, we will be able to get our
old forum back and truly facilitate communications among
those who come to our website.

The only forum posts we have been censoring are porn, spam
or advertising which is not permitted on campaign websites
for congress members. Dennis has supporters who are
children. I am an early childhood special education
teacher. I do not want little kids exposed to the porn
that some people/robots? try to put on our website.

I apologize to you, Max, if our campaign has offended you
by not publishing your series of negative and critical
posts regarding our website. We are trying to improve our
situation. We know we have problems. Beating us over the
head with them will not help. Besides, we are the peace
folks and we don't support beatings of any kind.

In hope and peace,

Gail Heyn
