Dennis Kucinich is gaining strength in the polls. He has gone from 2% to 5% in December; he is showing strength when most other candidates are faltering. Kucinich has been gaining national attention and tonight he was on NBC as the featured candidate. But all they focused on was his personal life ---
Dirt poor, twice divorced, voted out of office as the Cleveland mayor. The only hi-lite was his staving off selling the Cleveland muni electric company.
No discussion on the issues, nothing about what he stands for, not even a connection between him being poor and having something in common with the multitudes. The interview fell flat either in the questions asked or in the editing booth. But he has been in the news more and more and some of his points have been made. Oh, on NBC, he looked presidential and electable.
Dennis Kucinich stands for all those values that Americans treasure: generous, kind hearted, fair, honorable, the protectors of freedom and liberty. He is the vanguard of what is left of American values and our way of life as he fends off the privatizers of our health care, the attackers of our freedom, and the pillagers of our environment. Please join your fellow citizens in trumpeting the charge for Dennis Kucinich for President of the United States of America.
If I could talk with Dennis I would recommend him to keep talking about the issues. If I were Dennis I would have four things to say and four things only, and I would begin every sentence with, "When I am president":
1) Business will flourish - by changing our health care system over to the same health care system that has proved to be so successful in Europe, Canada, and Japan, the single payer system, businesses will no longer have to pay for the health care of their employees. This means a great deal more money in the hands of small business owners, and maybe corporations will no longer have to leave the country to save money.
2) I will save the American wage earners income and jobs - instead of a race to the bottom there will be a race to the top. By repealing the WTO and NAFTA treaties, America we will no longer be on a quest to strong arm countries into one-sided trade treaties and America will bring the rest of the world up through FAIR Trade not controlled Free Trade.
3) I will restore America's place of honor in the world - The war in Iraq is seen in the world as being illegal. The preemptive strike that Iraq normalizes is against the ruling against the Nazis at the Nuremberg trial and is against International law. The War on Terror will be handled in a sane and logical manner; we will investigate the cause of the war and find out who is behind this war, these attacks. The White House, the US Government must come clean of any suspicion toward complicity in starting this War.
4) The Earth will be a garden of Eden - Sustainable, renewable resources will be a priority. The United States will champion the Kyoto Accord and shift our economy, our will, our life-styles into balance with the natural world instead of fighting for dominion over it.
When you only have four things to say it comes out like this:
So Mr. Kucinich, were you homeless as a child?
When I am President, I will save the American wage earner income and jobs.
Were you twice divorced?
When I am President, the earth will be a Garden of Eden.
What was it like to lose the mayoral election?
When I am President, I will restore America's place of honor in the world.
You get the picture…. We can do the same. When Dennis is President, business will flourish.
Dennis Kucinich is in the right place, at the right time, with the right thinking. It is imperative for the survival of thousands of endangered species that he is victorious, including the species of mankind.
Hello Kucinich supporters. It is the last few weeks before the primaries begin. Here is where we make our run. No holding back now. Email, call, snail mail everyone you know in the country that VOTES! Tell them about Dennis in the grocery store, in the post office, at work, at the ball game. Make a message, copy it a thousand times and hand them out, put them in magazines in the racks, leave them taped in the bathroom at the movies, go door to door, become the Gandhi of your neighborhood.
This is a full red level Dennis Kucinich alert.
the Protective Measures for a red level alert condition are not intended to be sustained for substantial periods of time
the condition RED requires increasing or redirecting personnel to address critical emergency needs (house parties, sign wavers, phone banks, any group or team effort)
Assigning emergency response personnel and mobilizing specially trained teams or resources - getting to the phones, getting on the news, sending out press releases, letters to the editors and convincing personalities like Michael Moore to write about their support. Willie Nelson was an inspiration last weekend. Contacting everyone and screaming that there is life here in this campaign, there is hope - 2% to 5% in the polls.
Dennis Kucinich is not a loser, neither am I, neither are you. It is imperative that he/we win this nomination and this election. The choices are clear and we can only do our best and the best is what we shall do!
For more clarity on the top candidates (Bush, Dean, Clark, and Kucinich) and the issues that are shaping our lives - go here. This provides true ammunition in knowing what to say on the issues. The four issues I have chosen to focus on are those that Mr. K has chosen and they are: Health Care, Jobs - economy, War, the environment. If you only get to talk about one talk about the one dearest to your heart for that is what I am asking of my fellow citizens - VOTE your heart. We are way past the time for voting for a slow change back to sanity and we certainly cannot afford to vote for the lesser of three evils.

This is my plea for getting the world back in balance with nature, including our own nature. Take it if you like, add to it, embellish away; but the main thing is to take action, small or large and make a difference in our world. Even if Dennis does not receive the nomination the stand on the issues can make it to the platform.
I have seen so many people getting behind Dennis and his message and it has so inspired me to keep on keeping on. I thank my fellow citizens for inspiring me to KEEP THE FAITH…..
Good luck, and may the BEST MAN WIN!
