We must also remember the small percentage of our population that once having sworn an oath cannot exercise their rights as citizens that we take for granted. "We The People" must protect them at all costs, it is our duty to ensure they are not used as cannon fodder and once their duty has been comlpleted, that they have free health care, jobs and training, or many other social programs that we can provide to them for their service. As we know this is not getting done because those persons are no longer of any use in the endevor for profit or political power.
I'd like to say something about our 9-11 First Responders ...HELP THEM!!!!
The first responder's on 9-11 are still being ignored after all these years. Let's all write Dennis to urge him to help these people. Look at the frustration on this mans face and in his voice.
Conservatism, tells us that social programs are wrong. I personally do not agree. At a minimum, I think we must provide this to the least of us, our Brother in Arms. But why can't we can have it all, Freedom and Social programs? If done correctly it would lead to an infusion of power to the middleclass that has been erroding since 1981. Why are we so afraid to take care of each other, we are in this together.
This is why I endorse and support both Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.
As a left leaning American I tend to favor Dennis Kucinich for his entire platform, however most of America does not hear his voice because the powers that be decided for the American people that he has nothing to add to the debate and that we do not need to know his positions. But we who know him, we know that he is the only person in government trying to do something NOW and for the future of every American. If you have not seen the video that outlines his life of servitude to "We the People" you must watch it now.
He is the ONLY person trying to hold this administration to account, to the Rule of Law with Impeachment Hearings against Richard Cheney!
He is the only person that has voiced that he will hold accountable all those with the ultimate responsibility to us and our nation, for the lies that led us into a illegal wars and an occupation, for the torture and deaths, for the war profiteering, for violations of our Constitution and for the war crimes that have been committed in our name sake all the while breaking treaties that became part of our Constitution when signed.
He is the only person that said he would not only pursue a new investigation into why 9-11 happened and hold persons accountable "at the very least" for their inactions of 9-11, but for Katrina, and the lead up to the Iraq war.
After all that I have said about Dennis Kucinich, As an American, I must profess my love of Ron Paul for his Constitutional Stance and foreign policy.
When he speaks he stirs a passion within me, especially when he is speaking from the floor of congress praising liberals courage to dissent or answering the attacking media in the 2008 debates.
