Do you really want a new FDR? Then try DJK. [View All]

The enduring legacy of FDR is his truly progressive vision at a time his country needed it most. FDR didn't play "politics as usual." Instead, he renewed America from the bottom up with a bold New Deal that swept aside the conventional wisdom about what Americans could accomplish together. FDR took office facing one of the worst economic disasters in American history, left by Herbert Hoover and caused by the same kind of market fundamentalism that has been dominating Washington for the last 30 years.

FDR didn't listen to Republican detractors who said that ensuring the general welfare of the American people, as all public servants are instructed to do by the US constitution, would ruin his country. He knew better than that, and so does Dennis Kucinich. While other candidates offer lukewarm half-measures and calculated triangulation, Dennis is boldly offering us another New Deal to undo the backward slide we have been on for decades. He is the only candidate to support true not-for-profit universal health care, as well as immediate withdrawal from Iraq and a new emphasis on putting freedom and equality for all Americans first. "Strength through peace" is not just a campaign slogan, it is the foundation of a new vision for America.

Do you really want a new FDR? Prove it. If you want it bad enough, there is a way. Amidst a sea of mediocrity, a courageous leader has stepped forward who has proven time and again that he has the principle, the integrity, the determination, and the vision to make it happen. Although he is short of stature, he stands tall as a beacon of hope and progress for all Americans. But he can't do it alone. The choice is up to us - more politics as usual, or a New Deal with Dennis.
