New Yorkers Endorse Kucinich
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 17, 2003

Seven Prominent New Yorkers Back Dennis Kucinich
NW Ohio Green Party and Ecologist David Blume Also Endorse

Justice Frank Barbaro was elected to the New York Supreme Court for the Second Judicial District in 1996. From 1973 to 1996 he served as a member of the New York State Assembly. As Chair of the Labor Committee, from 1980 through 1995, he was a driving force for workers compensation reforms, prevailing wage and protections against employer discrimination or harassment over an employee's lawful off-the-job activities. In 1989, after the murder of Yusef Hawkins in Bensonhurst, Barbaro brought representatives of the Italo-American and African-American communities together and organized a Coalition on Intergroup Harmony. Barbaro ran for mayor of New York against Edward Koch in 1981.

Frank Barbaro said: "What Kucinich says is, get rid of the WTO, get rid of NAFTA, have a very fair trade system. You don't export jobs from here.""

" NW Ohio Green Party Statement of Endorsement:

"Greens are Greens because we believe in the progressive platform of social, economic and environmental responsibility. We are committed to progressive causes and vote our consciences. Moreover, we are tired of being offered a choice of the 'lesser of two evils.' Dennis Kucinich is a conscientious progressive choice, a candidate who has none of the tainting of right-agenda corporate government. Many of us are former Democrats. We left the Democratic Party because they did not offer a real progressive choice of leaders, until Dennis Kucinich. Dennis shares many of the same values that we have as Greens. Therefore he was an easy choice for president: a candidate we feel has, not just the best platform, but the best chance of beating George W. Bush in 2004. Our endorsement of Dennis Kucinich is an endorsement for progressive values. Our endorsement is also a statement for coalition building across party lines.""

Good stuff as usual. More quality endorsements for the best candidate.

I like it that he's getting support from a lot of different people: activists, actors, authors, musicians, poets, politicians, political writers, a theologian, a Jungian analyst, an unconventional physician, etc.

the breadth of his endorsements impresses me much more than a bunch of politicians. IMO most of those are simply playing the same old game, currying favor with people they think will be able to trade favors with them later. *gag*

now if joaquin phoenix endorsed kucinich i would just absolutely die from love

*wants big poly-family with ani, ed, and joaquin*
