I happen to think quite highly of this man and what he has done for our community in Northeastern Ohio. Although his chances are slim of winning I love what he stands for and that he isn't afraid to stand up for what he believes in. Dennis was elected Mayor of Cleveland at age 31 in 1977, the youngest ever to lead a major American city. In his fifth term in the United States House, Kucinich has been a leader for Universal Health Care, a full employment economy, fully-paid tuition at public colleges and universities, repeal of the Patriot Act, the development of bio-fuels as alternative energy and restoration of America's basic manufacturing and infrastructure. He is currently leading an effort to support the role of NASA in the development of basic research for civil aeronautics.
Kucinich has promoted a national health care system, preservation of Social Security, increased Unemployment Insurance benefits, and the establishment of wholesales cost-based rates for electricity, natural gas and home heating oil. When the Supreme Court ruled that mandatory arbitration could be a condition of employment, Kucinich introduced a bill to reverse the Court's decision.
I think that the media and most republicans will laugh and poke fun at Dennis and he'll have a tough road to be elected in 2008. If Obama runs I'll probably roll with him, but Kucinich is smart and should be taken seriously.
And DK was also the 2003 recipient of the Gandhi Peace Award.
Do you like Dennis? If not who would be your choice for President?
Certaintly not another Bush!
