1. What about Bernie Sanders?

Has he said, "Go Dennis yet?"
I heard him talking up DK on an wamc.org interview with Alan Shartock.

[Desertrose]

3. not sure how up to date this is...

I just discovered the website....you can even download a nice mp3 tune!

Bernie Sanders- now that would be good...I have a feeling the more who speak up the more others will come forward...
Peace
DR
Kucinich...the only choice!

9. The "Swami" endorses DK!!!

:bounce:

I'm not surprised. Before I head off to investigate that site, here's what Steve Bhaerman, aka Swami Beyondananda, has to say about DK:

[scarletwoman]

11. Wonderful!

I love what he said about "cultural creatives". Now THERE'S a block of otherwise non-voters that I truly believe a progressive voice like Dennis can tap into.

There's absolutely no question for me, Dennis is the ONE! :bounce:

10. re Marianne Williamson endoresement

Have any of you read her book "The Healing of America"?

Two reviews:

I'm sure people that don't agree with her politics will attack the work. But what no one can really intelligently do, I think, is disagree with her message that a wake-up call is sorely needed NOW by our country and our world. Her bold statement that "we are a country in denial" can't be, well, uh, denied. This work was for me the very first time that I found myself thinking that I would ever have an interest in politics - I still don't, but I DO have an interest in the healing of America. This book gave me some ideas how to express that interest socially and politically. Thanks, Marianne

---

Unlike many so-called spiritual books, Williamson isn't afraid to address institutionalized racism and the need for reparations as a fundamental beginning for America's healing. Some of her other suggestions include instituting a much needed Department of Peace, holding elections on a weekend day or voting holiday so everyone can vote, changing Columbus Day to Immigrants' Day, and formally apologizing to Viet Nam for the Viet Nam War.
The section on "Yin Activism" will resonate with anyone who, like me, wants progressive movements to incorporate more of the feminine in their methods and vision.

Kucinich is just the man, the ONLY man who can take us there!

"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiples it.

Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate, In fact violence merely increases hate.

So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."

-Martin Luther King, Jr.

13. kick for Kucinich

:bounce:

[IndianaGreen]

14. Hello Kucinich supporters!

I love the way Dennis attacks Bush as a pitbull attacks a chihuahua.

Like many of you, I don't want any of the DLC-approved pukes to win the nomination. I support all of the antiwar candidates, and I wish them well and to their supporters.

Since we all have to choose one candidate, I chose Dean. I want you to know that I will readily support Kucinich if Dean were to drop out.

Good luck! :hi:

[Tinoire]

16. That is very sweet IG

Thank you!

I too will vote for any anti-war candidate should Dennis not make it.

Peace and May the best man win!

[IndianaGreen]

22. May the best man, or woman, win!

I still think that the women are far better than the men, unfortunately some of better-than-the-men and truly outstanding women were not born in the USA, and thus are barred from becoming President: Hadassah Lieberman and Teresa Heinz.

[Tinoire]

15. Has everyone voted in this DU poll?

On edit: WhooHoooo!!!!! Kucinich now ahead :)

30 votes for DK
27 for HD

No one else even close. Peace

And Dennis, you GO boy!

[Allah Akbar]

17. Dennis makes me believe there is a democrat

still involved in the Democratic Party

[Tinoire]

18. Kinf of brings the Progressive back into the movement doesn't he?

With Kucinich, we can draw back the disillusioned Greens and other Progressives who fled the Party.

With Kucinich, we can rouse the apathetic masses who don't believe anyone really wants to change things. And not just the masses but damn, I was talking to a few Ph.D. scientists from work the other day and neither one of them votes because they don't believe it makes a difference (because the system is rigged and I can't really fault them for that- the system IS rigged by the 2 party system)

With Kucinich we can wake everyone up and start healing America!

Kucinich! The PEOPLE'S CHOICE!

[newyawker99]

19. Hi Allah Akbar!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Allah Akbar]

23. Thanks Newyawker!

I'll :toast: to that!

[hedgetrimmer]

20. KUCINICH... WHO COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE?

KUCINICH, what you have been looking for.

KUCINICH, the only candidate who puts issues before his image.

KUCINICH, vote the man not the hair.

KUCINICH, a Jeffersonian Democrat, the kind you want to bring home to mom.

KUCINICH, not just another pretty face.

KUCINICH, give power to the people, where it belongs.

[revcarol]

21. Ya just had ta bring it up....

x(

Around here, new voters , Greens and independents are rallying around DK. Old-time Democrats are taking heart and beginning to hope again.

[deek]

28. Perfect slogans!

I have to ask...is the pepper avatar referring to the old Dr. Pepper thingie..."I'm a pepper, she's a pepper, he's a pepper too!!"???

[Desertrose]

24. This is from a 12 year old kid!

This was originally posted on the Kids4Kucinich website.

Christian Loffredo's (12 years old)civic oration for his 6th grade class on "My American Hero"

This is a freedom of speech individual citizen's endorsement.
It does not reflect the opinions of any organization.

Dennis Kucinich is my American Hero. He is a U.S. Representative in Congress. He is the chairman of the Progressive Caucus, and its spark plug. He is passionate, compassionate and true to his word.

In the 107th Congress 1st session he sponsored legislation and introduced the Bill HR2459 To Establish a Department of Peace and to ban space based weapons.

At a time of global uncertainty and unrest, Representative Kucinich has boldly stepped forward and is taking a stand. Though many of you may not know of him, he is well respected and known in the U.S. House of Representatives and in Washington, D.C.

Dennis is an honorable man. True to himself and his constituents, his voting record clearly shows his integrity. He is fighting to protect the Constitution of the United States of America, the civil liberties of all Americans and claims he will not waver from that responsibility, nor is he willing to damage the trust that has been placed in him by those he serves, even if it means stepping on a few toes along the way.


<snip>

Dennis is a different and special brand of politician. Having a man like this in Washington is timely and important, for ensuring a safe world for my and future generations. He believes one person can make a difference if they are unafraid to speak up and do the honorable thing.


<snip>
Things are changing in America; Dennis is ready to embrace change, a change that will benefit all the people, of the United States.

I hope that you now know, a bit more about my chosen American hero. I urge the adults and children in America, to consider helping him to make peace a reality NOW for the benefit of all life! 

Thank you

Christian Loffredo (age 12)
Maine, USA

25. Very pleased with the depth of issues at DK's website

Still, I'm an Anyone But Bush gal.

[Coffee Coyote]

29. Peter Coyote?

No relation as far as I know! :think:

Studs Terkel - one of the great chroniclers of the working class, a giant among contemporary historians. Fitting endorsement. :-)

CC :donut:

[Desertrose]

30. Studs Terkel...pretty impressive, eh??

asked to direct his campaign in our district. 

[Desertrose]
