David Korten endorses Dennis Kucinich! This is AWESOME!

[scarletwoman]

So many endorsements by so many VERY impressive folks! See: http://thespiritoffreedom.com/wesupportdennis.htm

Hard to top Granny D, Studs Terkel and Willie Nelson, but Korten's endorsement is particularily exciting to me.

Who's David Korten, you may ask? Well, ANYONE who's concerned about corporate power, predatory capitalism, and corporate globalization needs to get familiar with his work.

Take a look:

The Post-Corporate World: Life After Capitalism

Go here for an incredible review by David T. Ratcliffe "with extensive annotated abstracts and web linked references": http://www.ratical.org/many_worlds/seeingPCW.html
(this is a MUST READ website!)

Also see this wonderful essay by Korten, "LIFE AFTER CAPITALISM":

His first book: WHEN CORPORATIONS RULE THE WORLD

And finally, David Korten's "People-Centered Development Forum"

2. I can hardly wait until President Kucinich starts kicking ass

with the Justice Department. He is going to go after corporate criminals and big monopoly-type business like agri-business and the media!!And he is FOR small business and has policies to support them.

BIIIIIG endorsement here.

9. I second that!

I hope he puts Ralph Nader in charge of the SEC

3. Man...they just keep rollin' in...

So many endorsements from such a diverse group of people....

Doesn't this tell people something...that maybe DK has it all over every other candidate??? Seems obvious to me...


Thanks- great post & links, scarletwoman!

Peace

4. How did Kucinich vote on the War?

[Mairead]

5. Against. Totally against.

His was the first anti-war voice. It simply didn't get much coverage (why?).

[LWolf]

6. Good question.

Talk about no coverage. Take a look at this article about prowar/antiwar candidates. What's missing here? Or, more to the point, WHO should have been prominent in this article?

7. He voted against the Patriot Act too

which to me is a major plus.

8. fantastic !

i'm going to send this off to my ex.
until recently he was a repub-not a neocon-but a repub all the same.
through discussion he has come to see the light.

anyway he recently read Korten's book When Corporations Rule The World and it has changed his thinking completely on corporation related issue, including globalization.

as of now he's undecided on whom to support for Pres. i'm sure Korten's endorsement will impress him.

11. That is SO COOL!

I'm always trying to bring attention to Korten's work, and I KNOW he's got a fan base out there somewhere. I got really excited to see Korten's endorsement for Dennis -- what a powerful combination! It's the VISION thing!

I really appreciate your post, makes me extra glad that I called attention to Korten's endorsement with it's own thread. :D

GO DENNIS!!!!
