Kucinich says he's seeking strength through peace
An overflow crowd packed a small Ojai retreat center Sunday afternoon to hear presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich talk about peace, policy and the future of the United States.

"What we're offering is a whole new vision for America," said Kucinich, who was accompanied to the event by his wife, Elizabeth. "Not peace through strength, but strength through peace."

Kucinich, a Democratic congressman from Ohio, said he wants the country to move away from unilateralism and the use of force to achieve peace, and rather to focus on international cooperation and open dialogue to establish peace in the world.

"If we believe war is inevitable, then war is a self-fulfilling prophecy," he said. "If we believe in peace, it can happen."

2. How about a new slogan? A vote for Clinton is a vote for war.
Dennis Kucinich must be ahead of his time because many Americans still put their trust in the media to tell them the truth. Dennis Kucinich would give Americans a voice again, it would revitalize the country.

4. How about...
A vote for those who've supported the war either by supporting the Iraq war resolution, or for those who voted to fund the continuing war, is a vote for war?

Go Dennis! :woohoo:
