NEW KUCINICH SUPPORTERS JOIN KICK-OFF TOUR
Winona LaDuke -- human rights campaigner, Native American activist and former Green Party Vice-Presidential candidate -- is scheduled to join the kick-off tour in Minneapolis. She said: "Dennis Kucinich is a leader with integrity and demonstrated courage. His commitment to democracy, equity, constitutional rights, environmental justice and peace is honorable and longstanding. Building alliances between Indigenous peoples, peoples of color, and communities committed to environmental and social justice is key to building a true and sustaining society and democracy." Leading Democratic officials in Minnesota, ALLIES OF THE LATE PAUL WELLSTONE, will also join the tour.

David Bacon -- According to the Oct. 10 Associated Press:
"David Bacon, the Green Party's candidate for governor last year, says he plans to change his voter registration to the Democratic Party. He says he's switching so he can vote for presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich in the state Democratic caucuses in February." David will join the tour in Albuquerque, as will New Mexico state officials.

KUCINICH ACTS AGAINST ASSAULT WEAPONS
While a leading Democratic presidential candidate has long been supported by the National Rifle Association, Dennis Kucinich has become co-sponsor of legislation to renew and strengthen the federal assault weapons ban. Kucinich's support comes one year after the DC-area sniper attacks; the bill would ban all assault weapons, including the one used by the snipers.' Of the presidential candidates in Congress, only Richard Gephardt has joined Kucinich in co-sponsoring the legislation that has been introduced in both houses.
