-H.R.6200 -To amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require States to conduct Presidential elections using paper ballots and to count those ballots by hand, and for other purposes.

- H.AMDT.317 to H.R.2745 -Amendment sought to require the President to direct the U.S. Permanent Representative to work to strengthen and expand the Social Protection sector of the International Labor Organization (ILO) in order to allow the ILO to issue more field and regional units of the ILO, to increase site inspections of working conditions, and to issue more reports on such conditions to the international community.

-H.AMDT.475 to H.R.2601 An amendment numbered 23 printed in part B of House Report 109-175 to require the President to direct the U.S. representatives to the United Nations to commence negotiations for an international treaty banning space-based weapons.

Kucinich has an advantage over many of the Democratic candidates because he doesn't have to talk about bills he will support. He can talk about what he supports now because he's been taking action based on his beliefs for years now.

And unlike people like Obama or Clinton, Kucinich's bills have meat to them and address issues of popular importance right now like: health care, Iraq, nuclear weapons, agriculture, global warming, space warfare, etc.

Obama or Clinton may bring bipartisanship to America, but the stances being taken to create that bipartisanship caters to the neoconservatives in the Republican party and hands a victory to the Bush administration instead of the American people by ensuring that all that has gone wrong under Bush be continued by a Democrat instead of a Republican in 2008 thereby allowing for no panicking to occur on the Right if the party cannot rebound from Bush's lack of popularity.

Kucinich spoke these words earlier this summer:

I'm kind of the Seabiscuit of this campaign. And when I come from behind to win this race, people are going to say, no way are we going to run against this guy. ... Let me tell you, when I push through that agenda and establish a worker's White House, they're going to be there to say, 'No competition in 2012; we're ready for Kucinich for seven years, eight years.

 

Amen, brother. Americans, let's put one of our own in the White House.
