Kucinich lauds peace, tenacity
By LINDSAY DOWNEY
Alligator Writer

It was anything but your typical political speech.

Accompanied by Dave Matthews Band guitarist Tim Reynolds, presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich spoke Thursday night to a devoted crowd that erupted into applause several times throughout the O’Connell Center event.

“The crowd’s response was fantastic,” Students for Dennis member Michael Belle said. “Just thundering the place, feet stomping and hands clapping.”

The Ohio congressman spoke on world peace, fear and the human spirit, quoting everyone from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Franklin Roosevelt

2. Thanks so much for posting this!

What a wonderful article!

Love this quote at the end:

“It’s an incredible vision to view politics as a platform for change, instead of a platform for what already exists,” he said. “Harnessing the power of human energy and hope, instead of feeling powerless.” (my emphasis)

Doesn't that just say it all? :D

6. Boston and beyond!

Dennis is now a force that's unstoppable, and I'm with him...

Somedays his strength seems to be all that keeps me going.

SO many people love him for his ideas, energy, and commitment. The goals we share with him are within our reach if we have the energy to work for them.

7. Sounds like a fantastic evening!

Wish we could have videos of *all* these events!

I watched "This is the moment" again last night, and it buoyed my spirits. I'd love to hear this speech, too.

Another Delusional Diehard for Dennis!!

Kucinich 2004!
