Poll question: I get to see Dennis Kucinich speak tonight...what should I do
If I can get a seat, I will be able to see Dennis Kucinich speak tonight. In your opinion, which of these choices do you think would be best course of action for me tonight?

1. go even if you cant get a seat
and buckle your seat belt. If you dont know what to expect, you should be very excited.

2. Talk to him.
It's worth waiting around afterward to talk to the man.

Dennis Kucinich is honestly a good man. He is intelligent, thoughtful, honest. Speak with him for a few minutes, and you will be delighted.

11. Go, listen, applaud and cheer as much as you like, take pictures,

if appropriate, wear Depends just in case, and come back and tell us all about
it!

13. I am bringing my digital camera, but will only take pics...
if it is appropriate...obviously, if the lights are dimmed, I will not take pics because there will be an obnoxious flash in Dennis' face. Maybe during a standing ovation when he stops speaking I will take a few.

12. Take a tape recorder. Please. So that you can rub our faces in it
even better.

Enjoy. It's an experience. You'll never be the same again.

19. And keep in mind: he ANSWERS questions!!
DK blew the students away at the University of New Mexico because he respected their questions and answered them, and didn't just go around with the chief-high-muckety-mucks.

Look for some REAL DIALOGUE. AND HAVE FUN!!

20. You lucky person!
Please report every bit of it to us. I am afraid I will NEVER get to see him in person so I live vicariously through all of you. Have a wonderful time.

22. He is so accessible.
I've met and spoken with him twice; he makes it easy and comfortable.

Check his schedule and show up when he's going to be near you. It will be worth it!

I drove 3 hours down through LA to Santa Ana to hear him the first time, and got to have a personal conversation with him about NCLB after he was done speaking. Then I attended a peace day house party last Sept. that he was speaking at. He didn't speak until later, but was there greeting everyone, welcoming them, and talking to anyone who wanted to chat.

24. I certainly plan
on trying. I think the closest he has been is about 5 hours away and with the farm it is kinda hard to get away for that long. I will eventually get the chance, I just have to plan a little better.
