"NADER SAYS: Vote Kucinich in Primaries
Friday's Cleveland Plain Dealer reported:
Consumer activist Ralph Nader, still undecided about running again as a
third-party candidate, said yesterday that he is urging Democrats to
vote for Rep. Dennis Kucinich in the presidential primaries next
year...Unlike some of his rivals, Kucinich "says publicly what he
believes privately," Nader said at a breakfast meeting with reporters.
"At this point, I am urging Democrats to vote for him in the primary."

Sunday's Des Moines Register reported on remarks of Jan Corderman,
president of Iowa's influential AFSCME union:
"I think that probably the up-and-comer...is Dennis Kucinich." Kucinich
has "had a real presence here in Iowa recently" and has received an
enthusiastic reception, said Corderman, whose 13,000-member union is the
state's second largest. "Our folks are impressed with his position on
issues," she said. "He's definitely a man of the people. But he's also
one that people need to hear more about."

Continuing his leadership on Capitol Hill in questioning Bush
administration claims that led us to war, Rep. Kucinich will host a news
briefing Tuesday morning with former intelligence officers on the use
(or misuse) of intelligence before the war in Iraq. Joining Kucinich
will be Ray McGovern, a former CIA analyst of 27 years who prepared the
President's Daily Brief in the 1980s, and Andrew Wilkie, a senior
intelligence analyst at Australia's Office of National Assessments until
his resignation a week before the Iraq war in protest of the way
intelligence was used to justify Australia's support for the war.
KUCINICH FIGHTS FOR PEACE DIVIDEND
When Dennis Kucinich calls for more spending on healthcare, education
and environmental cleanup to be paid by cutting the bloated military
budget, he is often outnumbered on the campaign trail. (Howard Dean has
challenged Kucinich on that stand.) He is also typically outnumbered in
Congress, as Associated Press reported days ago:
Though the defense bill accounts for about one-sixth of federal
spending, it has generated little debate. After the attacks on Sept. 11,
2001, lawmakers have been reluctant to deny the Pentagon the equipment
it says it needs to defend the country. But Rep. Dennis Kucinich,
D-Ohio, an anti-war Democratic presidential candidate, said the bill
does little to make America safer. "The only thing this Congress will
take care of today are the profit-gouging defense contractors," he said.
