9. Dennis is my most prized possession
We need the Kucinich plan. Peace, equality, unity, jobs, healthcare, planet protection, all created with the interests of the people not the corporations in mind. We, the poor and huddled masses own him, we are fortunate and thankful.

10. No matter what the outcome, Dennis has given us hope
At least we know that there is one Presidential candidate willing to stand up for the people of this country, instead of the corporate power elite.

13. is this just part of the system,.
But realy is that enough,. will you be satisfied with seeing your values reflected briefly until a nomination is 'selected' ?
Yes I am cynical, and with good reason! I am wondering if this is just another part of the mental control system meant to placate the majority by letting us see a sane candidate, letting us hear him speak about out shared values,. and then never letting him get near the candidacy? We already hear the media and even many dems. cower that DK is too far left, to correct, or to righteous, that he is UNELECTABLE! I wonder if that means the people would not elect him,. or that the banker/warmonger class will never allow the people the option?!?

The people could elect him, it certainly don't take a majority to win the presidency,. and I believe based on opinion poles that the vast majority of Americans are rather sane in their positions, and many will take to his 'strength through peace' platform. The repugs don't look to have a candidate,. if they go with 'the hero of 9/11' it will be a cake walk.

Of course if Dennis where to win the presidency sadly he would be shot dead in the first 6 months. Pirate Bankers are ruthless, with no limit to their greed. How else do you explain their willingness the kill the planet in pursuit of profit$,. funding war, depleted uranium spread around the area like a cancer seed waiting to kill long into the future,. . these people are sick!

Lets face it Democracy did in fact die when the CIA killed Kennedy and got away with it, that fact lead directly to 9/11! See how if you let one crime slip by the next one is much worse. I blame our parents who did not stop what they were doing and fight for justice,. instead content to just go on living in relative comfort and letting it slide,. . .

29. Wrong!
Blame our parents? Where did THAT myth come from, Limbaugh? That the older people are so right wing, too busy living their own lives to see what was going on? My Grandmother 1898-1976 had memory problems at the end of her life. ( not Alzheimers, thats I believe,a late 20th century disease, probably due to environmental factors, how about all that teflon that melted into your food um?) The last time I saw my GrandMother she couldn't remember her name. SHe said "Come in dear and tell me your name, I know you are someone O love". After she served the predictable coconut cake & ice cream, she proceeded to tell me with all the latest details about the Nixon scandal. He had stepped down in Aug 19974, but there was lots of political afterglow! Wel her only son was a Democratc State Senator!
read both of these.....................
http://www.rinf.com/columnists/news/expose-the-christian-mafia-parts-1-2
http://www.tarpley.net/bushb.htm

And then read this! I grew up with the lyrics written by this man, who was considered such a lefty, that he was blackballed.We had these songs playing at my house regularly. Sort of like your modern day coca cola adds etc. ( which are putting right wing ideas in people's heads. Read up on te McCarthy era. People's incomes were more challenged then, for therir liberal ideas, than they are now! But a lot of them didn't back down!One of my daughter's classmates Father a lawyer did an independant study, because the Warren Commission's conclusions didn't ring true. He's been dead for quite a few years, and his son wound up in jail for killing somone???? WHat happened there? I lost the thread because I became a single Mother, the kids dispersed into different schools at the high school level, and I was doing a lot of work out of town, not socializing a much as I had.

My Dad was the Democratic Chair of our town and there was no restriction on political talk at our dinner table. No one was worried about being PC or NICCCCCCCE.
Your parents maybe, not mine..............we all have different stories.

32. Hun?
yeah i didn't get much from that er, story. The point I was making was that the generations before mine have let things get to the point we find ourselves in now; a rising fascism in america! The CIA obviously killed Kennedy because he was going to shut them down and was threatening to stop the fed. stealing all this interest on the needles private debt. And NOTHING was ever done about it,. same with 9/11! where is the reaction to that,. in europe people will go out on a general strike when the ruling powers go too far,. in america we change the station and watch a sit-com,. .
I was not talking about MY parents directly,. just the people that where here before me,. . and commenting about what actions we are taking now for the future generations,. if they have any future at all.

16. If We Do Not Step up
and support Kucinich's campaign then everything we say here amounts to a hill of beans. Today is "Black Friday", and it is the first of two scheduled days where the Kucinich campaign is asking for mass donations. I know the posts and emails all are requesting a $100 donation which is how the Ron Paul campaign raised their 5 mil, but if you can't do $100 (as is probably the case for most DK supporters), then simply DO WHAT YOU CAN. $1, $5, $10, $25...Doesn't Matter, JUST DO IT.

If you want to turn things around, you have to work with the system we have now until such time as things can be changed, and right now the ONLY candidates that get attention are the ones with a Huge campaign war chest.

Regardless of what you feel you can afford, something is better than nothing and it all adds up in the end.

Whether or not Kucinich is your first choice, isn't it worth a donation to open the discussion in the media to include Dennis' positions? I think so, and the fate of our democracy could literally depend on it. I urge each of you to think long and hard before you decide to let this day pass without a trip to www.dennis4president.com to make a donation to the campaign.

Kucinich 08...Right Then...Right Now...Right For America!

14. how would that work?
I keep hearing people talk about a DK/RP cross party ticket, . however how could these two come to a position on anything?
Ron wants to get rid of government and let the corporations rule unopposed. no social programs,. let people fend for themselves. let the concentrations of wealth grow bigger and have full-on corporate feudalism,. wealth rules and there is no democracy under a Ron Paul plan. Kucinich proposes using the gov. for programs of social uplift,. and to even out the concentrations of wealth,. and to reintegrate with the world in a peaceful way and stop military/financial domination of other places for bankers benifit$,. the two are hardly compatible.

22. Dennis is the ONLY CANDIDATE that is truly and unequivocally for The People.
While Edwards is, at least talking about some of these issues, he falls far short of the positions required to force the change we so desperately need.

It is, as it has always been, the ruling class against The People.
:kick: & R

23. And this includes ALL people which really sets him apart from
the other candidates.

He spoke up for the union workers in Iraq when they voiced opposition to the draft Oil Law.

He spoke up for the people in China by voting no on the China Trade bill.

He visited the people in Lebanon in the fall of 2006.

He visited with the refugees from Iraq when he went to Syria in 2007.

Just a few examples.

24. The problem with DK is that one has to acknowledge how bad things have gotten to need the.
actions DK puts forth. The general public isn't willing to do that. They live in a bubble partly by choice. They would much rather choose their candidate on superficial values.

27. People just love that bubble. I cannot understand it.
I have watched individual after individual recoil into their secure bubble from a hardship that some other group experienced - until it occurred to them.

Michigan auto workers should have just all gone to Ivy League colleges and become computer experts or university professors or lawyers or doctors.

Then when the computer expert who believed this saw his job going overseas ot India or Pakistan, then they started to understand.

Now people in the real estate and mortgage biz have gotten the message. But no one wants to look at the picture as it emerges - it really has to take them down before they will believe how bad it is.

30. Frederick C. Howe & Tom Johnson
The reforming mayor of Cleveland mentioned by Dennis was named Tom Johnson. You can read more about him, and the great reform movement in Cleveland, in The Confessions of a Reformer, a book by Frederick C. Howe. This author was a lawyer in Cleveland at that time, and he was also instrumental in reducing the outrageous power of the corporations of that day and the callous bullies who ran them (such as Mark Hanna). Coming from the city of Cleveland, Dennis Kucinich truly springs from one of the great populist traditions of our country! And they actually won some of their objectives! They really made a lasting difference! Maybe we should all study this book and others like it. It sounds to me as though the right-wing business community back then pulled many of the same tricks they are pulling today. This book has some really great observations! Go, Dennis! Let Cleveland light the way once more!
