Mother Earth needs Dennis
Al Gore is telling us that planet earth is sick.

Dennis Kucinich understands that war is ecocide.

http://www.grist.org/feature/2007/08/01/kucinich/

--What I intend to do as president is to call forth that instinct which is within every person for not just survival but to be able to thrive. We need to make the connection between prosperity and sustainability. It also means we have to turn toward peace, we have to stop warring, because war is ecocide, war destroys the environment. And so I'm going to call forth the people of this country for a whole new direction. I think America's not just ready for it, it's overdue and people know that.--Dennis Kucinich

Dennis is mainstream when it comes to HR 676, leaving Iraq, and leaving NAFTA and the WTO. I hope he is also mainstream on his desire to protect the environment.

1. He has considerable vision!
His plan is very bold and to be trite, quite visionary...

It would be breathtaking to see him implement it.

And I know that if he's elected President, he would certainly do just that.

An excellent article...

Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

11. Sustainability is becoming more mainstream all the time.
Al Gore has helped to raise awareness. Dennis Kucinich sees the interconnections.

Something like that would give Dennis a boost.
