Representative Dennis Kucinich: Iraq War
built 199 days ago
"Supporters of Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) defy definition, spanning independents, Greens, veterans, students, peace activists, consumers and environmentalists. Kucinich won by 70% in 2001 in a traditionally Republican district. Willie Nelson is recording campaign ads for him and doing concert fundraisers with Ani DiFranco. Grassroots campaign organizations are spreading like smoldering prairie fire across the country. While other Democrats waffle or evade about Bush's tax cuts and war, Kucinich remains a David boldly challenging Goliath, declaring. 'When they say tax cuts what they really mean is giveaways to the wealthy who don't need it and service cuts.

The World Council of the Cedars Revolution (“WCCR”) and the Reform Party of Syria (“RPS”) condemn Representative Dennis Kucinich for his recent visit to Damascus and to Hezbollah controlled areas of Lebanon. Kucinich’s visit further strengthens the tyrannical rule of Bashar Assad and is aimed at returning the Syrian Army to Lebanon and further destabilizing the nascent Iraqi Democracy. Allowing Syria to serve as a peacekeeper in a regional multinational force would be akin to the fox guarding the hen house.

Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), who has introduced a Resolution of Inquiry about Weaponsgate, continued his pressure on Bush. the Administration urged action against an imminent threat. So Congress voted, only weeks before the 2002 election. Some Democrats voted for it thinking there would be an opportunity to refocus on domestic issues. Instead national security and Iraq's so-called imminent threat became the divisive issue in the election. The question became: who was patriotic and who wasn't.

"I have never had a candidate to support who represents my views as well as Dennis Kucinich. His stand on the war (opposing it from the start), personal freedoms, universal health care, and immigration represent the direction I think this country needs to move in. I am ... impressed by the courageous stand he took in not selling the Cleveland Public Utilites, not backing down, even in the face of serious death threats."
