Howland: A vote for Kucinich is a vote for the issues PDF Print E-mail
Written by Shirley Howland   
Sunday, 27 January 2008

Yes, Dennis Kucinich has dropped out of the race for president. But we were not going to vote for the man we were going to vote for his courageous stance on the issues: universal, single payer, not-for-profit health care; stop funding the illegal, immoral occupation in Iraq; hold Cheney and Bush accountable for their lying, spying and torture policies; restore our Constitution and Bill of Rights; change America's foreign policy from one of creating hatred against us for our aggression to establishing a Department of Peace in our government; the build-up of WMDs and war with Iran; and much more.


His has been a voice of reason and sanity in a brain-washed Congress, and now that voice is threatened by his own political party in his own Congressional District in Cleveland, Ohio. It seems that the corporations controlling the media that kept him out of the Democratic presidential debates have now decided to crush him out of politics altogether, and with the help of the Democratic leadership, they are pouring millions of dollars and supporting four other candidates against him to try to take away his seat in the House of Representatives. If he loses that seat, we the people will lose our last best chance to save our country.


His name is still on the Democratic ballot for Feb. 5. If you want to send the Democratic Party and the corporate media a message, please vote for the issues that Dennis Kucinich continues to try to bring into the discussion and everyone else is ignoring. A vote for Dennis is a vote for the issues.


Shirley Howland lives in Clearlake.

Shirley: thank you for your thoughtful, well-reasoned reminder to us on why we need to continue supporting Dennis Kucinich in what ever way we can: a vote for him in the Presidential primary, and, perhaps, money for his upcoming contest to retain his seat in Congress.
We need informed, caring, engaged people like yourself. Keep up the good work!

has been to make the left look like a bunch of nuts, he's a wimp who won't go after the DNC leadership because he's a coward. They told him to shut-up about the war four years ago and he did, and what's up with marrying a girl young enough to be his grand daughter?

The left needs an ass-kicker-not a warm-and-fuzzy like Dennis who can't get anything important done because he stays in the dems and doesn't have the balls to take on the thugs running and ruining this country.

Kucinich is the exactitude of Clearlake liberal degenerates! While extremist Bay area cop killer liberals can't even clean up their own city,they continue to cast stones at anything traditional, christian, pro-family or pro-police. It's no wonder my employer has, the largest in Sonoma County, has cut funding for United Way child molesting liberals to the bone. I'm proud to be affiliated with a group of people who irritate the ALWAYS GOT MY HAND OUT bay area pukes...
