Vote your conscience, choose peace!

Dennis and the top three.

From the comment section...

"Nice job on the video. You Dems really missed out on a quality candidate."

:cry:

He always tells it like it is. Leave it to Dennis!

But I love the following exchange:

Colbert: Did you shrink that (Pocket size Constitution) down yourself?

Kucinich: No, bush already did that.

I :loveya: Dennis!

Otherwise, this video is great.

if i dare to dream i would forge an edwards/kucinich ticket. that would be my number one ticket of all time (tied with RFK).

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton say they are for change however they support many policies of the Bush administration. There Platforms are overwhelmingly similar, and include many issues most politically educated people would understand to be a more conservative stance.

Kucinich has been blocked out of the media and excluded from many debates, it is up to us to educate our selfs on the candidates and not allow the media to foce feed us lies

can't see fit to actually vote in their best interests. Kucinich will absolutely get my vote, but what little it really matters in the big picture I guess.

He's got my vote even if it sadly amounts to nothing.

Voting for a lesser evil is what took us down this road, maybe one day people will get it.
We rarely get a chance to vote FOR somebody.

isn't it?

I remeber when he was mayor and bankrupted the city.. Oh well

and has since saved the citizens millions on their energy charges. I guess is takes time to acknowledge greatness.

Time had changed things.

In 1978 Kucinich faced a tough choice: either sell the small city-owned light company, Cleveland Electric Light Plant (Muny Light for short), to the huge, private Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co. or watch the city banks refuse to roll over $14 million in short-term debt.

Kucinich refused to sell Muny Light, believing that giving CEI a monopoly wouldn't be good for city residents. In December 1978, Cleveland went into default, the first American city to do so since the Depression. The city was unable to borrow after New York bond-rating companies drastically lowered Cleveland's rating.

In 1979 Kucinich asked voters to raise the city's income tax by 0.5 percent to save Muny Light and restructure the debt. Cleveland voters backed their boy mayor 2-1. Yet Kucinich left the city more than $120 million in debt when he was voted out of office in November 1979.

In the 1990s, Muny Light (now Cleveland Public Power) was still city-owned, and it had expanded. The utility had saved its customers more than $200 million over the years, compared with what they would have spent had the power company fallen into private hands. Kucinich was honored in 1998 by the Cleveland City Council for "having the courage and foresight to refuse to sell the city's municipal electric system."

Today, Kucinich's presidential campaign slogan is "Light Up America." Its symbol is a light bulb. Kucinich said he's running for president because he wants to bring workers' rights, fair trade policies and common sense back to the Democratic Party.

I remember that, but its a shame the lights are all off in Slavic village because all the foreclosures, the highest in the USA.
Where hes still in the district right off fleet ave and 58th street. Oh and the light division only expanded into the inner city never made it into other community's like chagrin or others even though the water department did.

for the forclosures is ludicrous at best, blame the Republicans and their agenda for that...one man cannot stop an entire Congress. You clearly demonstrate that you have only one agenda here and that is to discredit Kucinich. Rather than that, why don't you simply talk up your candidate of choice rather than to cast inaccurate dispersions to a candidate that you personally don't care for? Its way more productive.

To try and blame him for the retaliation against his resisting privatization and monopolies.
And it doesn't hold water.

Thanks rjones2818!
