Thus I'm pleased to advocate for a person who truly is "the peace candidate," with a track record to prove it. Dennis Kucinich is the one candidate with the courage, integrity, and ability to lead this country in a new direction. He's the one candidate who:-vehemently opposed the Iraq war from the start and warned of the dangers we'd face;
-voted against further funding to continue the Iraq nightmare;
-has a plan to use existing funds to bring the troops home now;
-has plans for Iraq once we do get out;
-voted against the misnamed "Patriot Act" (and is probably the only one who stayed up all night reading it);
-submitted a bill to Congress to establish universal health coverage-nonprofit insurance for all, at a cost that is less than Americans now pay;
-promises to withdraw from corporate giveaways like NAFTA and the WTO (called "the most serious threat to the world's environment and people"), and replace them with fair trade agreements, including labor and environmental protections;
-has a plan to make our military more efficient, and to redirect resources being squandered now;
-has introduced legislation for a Department of Peace, that would seek non-violent solutions to global and domestic conflicts, ultimately eliminating motives for terrorism;
-has a plan to repeal Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and invest that money in public education;
-stands against privatization of Social Security and would return retirement age to 65;
-has pledged to break up corporate monopolies in agriculture, energy, media and other sectors that are strangling farmers and the environment, as well as you and me;
-has pledged to sign the Kyoto Treaty on global warming and lead our country to 20% renewable energy by 2010;
-has a plan to put Americans to work rebuilding dilapidated schools, roads, bridges, ports, water and environmental systems;
-has a decades-long track record which proves he operates from principles of truth, justice, peace, and reason, and will not be tainted by influences not in the public interest.
Dennis Kucinich is the only candidate who has clearly defined the issues facing us and offered workable solutions to them. His voting record shows he understands the importance of caring for America, as opposed to plundering and destroying it. He's the one candidate with the wisdom and vision to restore this country to its former greatness, and take it to even higher ground. His steadfast maturity and "correctness" don't make big headlines, but they do make Dennis worthy of your vote and spreading of the word.
But please don't listen just to me--check out the Kucinich website and examine for yourself the positions of this courageous individual.
If you like what you see, and particularly if you want the Iraq war to end immediately, please help get the word out about this remarkable presidential candidate. The media won't do it-their purse strings are tied to large corporations, as they so well demonstrated in the last elections. But the word can be spread, and now is the time to begin talking to friends.
Also, I've purchased 2,000+ bumper stickers that look like this:
I'm giving these free until they're gone, to anyone who sends me (Daniel Geery, 1987 S. McClelland St., Salt Lake City, Utah, 84105), a self-addressed stamped envelope. (Donations NOT necessary, but they will be accepted and applied to larger purchases of bumper stickers.)
By making others aware of this candidate, through networking and the internet, and whatever other creative means we can think of, it is my hope that we will save a lot of time and energy and bypass much of the non-debates and political nonsense we're all too familiar with. Please request my free bumper sticker and help send others to the Kucinich website, so they can learn for themselves what this candidate has to offer.
Sincerely,
Daniel Geery
