Dennis is picking up strong support from Latinos in California.


DENNIS KUCINICH -
LA ELECCIÓN PROGRESISTA



Como candidato Presidencial, ofrezco una visión diferente para Estados Unidos que me distingue de los otros candidatos. Soy el único candidato presidencial que llevara a este país lejos del miedo, la guerra y los regalos de impuestos a los ricos, usando el dividendo de paz para garantizar el seguro medico para todos, terminando con la explotación de los servicios de salud. Soy el único candidato que le pondrá un alto a la privatización del Seguro Social y regresare la edad del retiro a los 65 años de edad.

2. This is great

I really want Dennis Kucinich to win the primary. It seems like he is reaching out to a large minority population that the other candidates might be overlooking. Dennis has my vote and I am working on spreading the message throughout my area of Northeastern Ohio.

3. Bless you for not giving up!

And welcome! :D :hi:

[no name no slogan]

4. Welcome!

Kucinich is gaining support every day. He truly appeals to the working people, being one himself. In Minnesota, we've been VERY active, especially among peace & justice, veterans and labor groups. Every meeting is bigger and better. We're also helping out the fine folk in Iowa, too, with our sweat and dollars.

There will be a LOT of suprised people the morning after Iowa, I gaurantee it. And a lot more asking "Who is Dennis Kucinich?"

:toast:

5. I can't wait.

I hope you are right no name no slogan. The morning after Iowa may be a real wake up call for the rest of our party. IF WE WANTED A REPUBLICAN LITE CANDIDATE we would have registered as Republicans and tried to change that party to become more moderate. Mr. Kucinich has the guts to be a liberal democrat and not try to appease the imagined moderate middle. This country is more liberal than people think. The people just need to be provided with all the information about the issues.

6. The closest analogy I can think of

Would be what happened in Iowa in 1988, when Jesse Jackson placed in the top four, ahead of many of the "acceptable" candidates. After that, the media started paying attention to his campaign, and the front-runners started to take him seriously. In the end, it was only him and Dukakis that lasted the whole way.

I remember that year well, because I was the campus and county co-coordinator for the Dukakis campaign that year, where I lived. The Jackson folk did the same to us that year in Minnesota, too. IIRC, he placed second behind Dukakis, who easily outspent him and had big-name support. It was also during that campaign when I got to meet Paul Wellstone, who ran Jackson's 1988 effort in MN, and also helped my county evict our previous legislator who was a little to the right of John Ashcroft. Which of course led to my involvement in his 1990 campaign, etc....:D

I made the mistake of supporting the candidate who was "electable" in 1988, even though my own beliefs were closer to Jackson or Paul Simon (senator from IL, not the musician). I sold out then, and have regretted it ever since. That's why I refuse to sell out now.

7. I love your quote

"It was Wellstone that got me in to the party, it was Dennis Kucinich that brought me back"
My dad who always has been a democrat is really getting inolved for Kucinich too. That sigline quote is true and ever the sad.

[goodhue]

8. very cool

Guest Writer: Jerome Wiley Segovia, Latinos for Dean

My friend Pat Johnson with DC for Dean recently told me he was going to be volunteering in Burlington, Vermont. I jumped at the chance to join him and see what campaign headquarters was like. Well, its an amazing place, equal parts political memorabilia, excitement and incredibly likeable people. The best part is that I get a chance to give a quick report on a project which has taken all my free time for the past several months, Latinos For Dean.

Latinos for Dean is comprised of Latinos, friends of Latinos, people who speak Spanish and other Dean supporters who have self-organized and are striving to build an organization of 10,000 volunteers nationwide by the end of the primary season.

We have celebrated Dean's early endorsement of the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride, only to be followed by his announcement that he's become the first presidential candidate this primary season to air ads in Spanish in New Mexico.

One of our main goals is to continually devise creative ways to reach our Latino audience, who in some cases do not speak perfect English, in other cases have felt ignored by politicians, and so they are tuned out. These include such events as co-hosting a Paraguayan "asado" in the DC area and an upcoming "see you at the ball game" outreach event at RFK stadium (soccer, this time!), supporting the IWFR in Minnesota, Texas, and other cities, and speaking about Governor Dean in Spanish on AM radio in Maryland. We're beginning to make inroads and effectively reach our communities in their own language, en nuestro idioma.

We also have recently become aware of DeanSpace, which is an excellent set of programming/design web tools for self-organizing groups such as ours that rely on limited volunteer help. Should you visit our site in the near future, you will begin seeing the improvements as we begin implementing this technology.

Recuperemos nuestro país apoyando a Howard Dean!
