Kucinich was DRAFTED too! PLUS - Prayer For America VIDEO
A lot of people forget that Dennis Kucinich didn't think about running for president until AFTER his "Prayer For America" speech." After that speech, this draft site went up and all hell broke loose. I remember posting here about the draft campaign and hardly anybody knew who Dennis Kucinich was. When he was discussed, I couldn't have a discussion with anybody because of the choice issue. I kept referring people to this site - which I just discovered =- is still UP. Kinda. There is a URL which you can access the site exactly as it was on its last day up when Kucinich announced. One neat thing - they have the PRAYER FOR AMERICA ***video!***

Here is the site - as it was then:
http://www.draftkucinich.com/final.html

For the video, scroll down to "Multimedia" and you'll find a lot of goodies I haven't seen or heard anywhere else, including the PFA video.

2. Jason, thanks for posting this. I was just re-reading Studs Terkels'

"Kucinich Is the One!" last night and, according to Studs, Kucinich got over 20, 000 e-mails after "Prayer for America," many of them urging him to run for president. That was what first got me interested in Dennis Kucinich -- his "Prayer for America" speech. Twenty thousand e-mails prove a lot of other people found it inspiring, too. (I didn't write one of them but now wish I had.)

VOTE FOR A REAL PROGRESSIVE! DENNIS KUCINICH 2004

3. Hey, JB, you served a second purpose in posting this-
Bolstering my defense that Kucinich's switch from PL to PC wasn't politically inspired or an effort to aid a Presidential campaign! Thanks SO much!
