Kucinich for Speaker of the House of Representatives?
Advertisements [?]
I want Kucinich to win the presidency, but short of a miracle(which I am still praying for) I have a plan B.

Even if Kucinich were to win, our current Congress would stop every bit of progress he attempted, as evidenced by their current (lack of)support of his legislation. Many people like to blame Kucinich, 'he's not a leader because no one will support him'. That's backwards. He is a leader and many in Congress are LOSERS! They will not support what benefits the American people. (Perhaps this is because they have diebold and aren't worried about having to win elections)

The majority are with Kucinich on ending the war in Iraq, preventing war in Iran, shutting down the phony war on terror where not just Bush, but the Dem congress is borrowing our way to poverty, ensuring China as the new world power.

It's not just the war, Americans want Congress to repeal the Patriot Act, End the drug war, Cancel NAFTA and create new jobs in this country rebuilding infrastructure. The way we can achieve this is by filling the halls of Congress with Democrats who support Kucinich and his policies. That means US!

Many DUers love Kucinich's ideals, and Love this country...how about running for Congress? You need only look at the current crop to know you are qualified. If we all work together we can fight against the money interests. Many congressmen have no competition in their districts, that is why they continue on. We need to fight for a new Blue Congress just as hard as we fight for presidential candidates, because the way the Constitution is written anyway. they are a coequal branch.

Please find the qualifications in your district here

If you already have a good candidate-excellent-please post their info on the states pages.
Otherwise, consider running yourself. Often the fees are minimal, and look around at all the DUers that will support you. WE are the change we have been waiting for! And when we fill the halls of Congress with DUers, we can elect Kucinich Speaker of the House and we will finally get the change we have been waiting for.
