Rep. Dennis Kucinich on CNN with Marianne Williamson @ 2:30 pm ET

Dear Friend,

Today at 2:30 pm ET Marianne Williamson and I will discuss the Department of Peace on CNN's "Live From..." show with host Kyra Phillips. We are at a time when our country has been besieged by a militarization of thought which stems from deep fears about personal security. As a result we find ourselves still at war in Iraq and preparing for war against Iran and North Korea. We need a deep discussion about the roots of war-thinking as well as a compassionate reflection on the roots of violence in our own society. This show will be the beginning of a new discussion as we prepare to expand our efforts to create a cabinet-level Department of Peace.

The structure of peace in our own lives, in our society and in the world is a major theme of our new website at http://www.kucinich.us . In the past week, we have posted stories about meetings with peace groups in the UK, discussions with Belgian Senators, and reflections on the Pope and his quest for peace. I have met with several youth groups to gain their involvement and we are building our coalition within the Congress, preparing to re-introduce the Department of Peace legislation in September.

You are an important part of these efforts. Your support is essential to our success. We built great momentum during the presidential campaign because of your participation. Your involvement is no less important now. Please help us continue to reach out to build a more peaceful society and world by contributing now to our campaign. We need assistance today.

Please contribute online at http://www.kucinich.us/contribute . Your immediate contribution will provide critical assistance, not only in maintaining our website, but in keeping our grassroots activities expanding - for peace, civil liberties, to protect social security, for universal health care, for education, for workers' rights, human rights, voting rights, the environment, fair trade, new energy policies, a new manufacturing policy, a new commitment to America's research and development at NASA and in the private sector... and more.

Please forward this message. Work with us, help us now to continue to serve our nation and the world from the highest octave so that we may bring about the triumph of hope over fear and lift up the human condition. Thanks for everything you have done and will continue to do. You have my ever-present commitment.

Always, Dennis
