Whomever the the television stations and newspapers advertize the most in thier coverage are the ones that are backed by the big money and the media owners. They know that they can influence the sheep into believing anything. Hence we will get another piece of trash voted in as president and vice president. I know this because I live amongst them. - marvin Fri, 07 Dec 2007 20:32:05 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/2888-the-heroics-of-dennis-j-kucinich.html#comment-3765 I was not going to vote for reps or dems anymore but this guy seems as though he would give it his all,,and we really need that. Wonder who he has in mind for VP? Maybe that dopctor that did not make it the last time? He was another good guy. All the other will be loking for another Spiro Agnew. - marvin Sun, 25 Nov 2007 23:12:39 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/2888-the-heroics-of-dennis-j-kucinich.html#comment-3756 Mentioned Dennis Kucinich to a friend on Thanksgiving. She asked, "is that the one who looks like Dr. Spock, with the pointy ears?" I never thought of if, but now I can see it. I also think he is cute and even a little sexy. His wife is gorgeous and intelligent and also compassionate, as is he. He is excellent in debates--right on top of anything thrown at him. He put Tucker Carlson in his place, has handled every interview admirably. He is informed well beyond the top three. He's got it! The corporates, including media, are trying to ignore him. That's a good sign. Why did he vote against the Patriot Act, he was asked. "Because I read it!" was his answer. I love this guy! - 1nomore Sun, 25 Nov 2007 13:55:18 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/2888-the-heroics-of-dennis-j-kucinich.html#comment-3755 I've written about him on my blog at least three times. Thanks for your article. - Bianca Reagan Sun, 25 Nov 2007 06:24:14 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/2888-the-heroics-of-dennis-j-kucinich.html#comment-3752 By the time Killary is able to finish her 8-year term, Chelsea will be able to fill the gap. Then one of the Bushes, if they so desire :) - John Duncan Sat, 24 Nov 2007 01:35:08 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/2888-the-heroics-of-dennis-j-kucinich.html#comment-3749 To my fellow Citizens, As an early primary state, you are once again being called upon to make one of the most important decisions of your life and for the your children's future. This should not simply be partisan. We are at a cross roads of our civilization, our country and what values we choose to embrace. The next leader will need to make difficult choices on the best use of our limited resources. After our last 7 years, the statement is so obvious, what we do domestically and internationally has consequences that potentially touch every man, woman and child living on this planet. The decisions made by George Bush and Co have taken us to the brink of Armageddon. The problems and the solution can no longer be made with a band-aid. We need to re-evaluate our values, our priorities with a goal towards a world of REAL peace for generations to come. Every action has consequences; they are not executed in a vacuum. We have witnessed the poor choices of the Bush administration. Through their insatiable quest for world domination, they have destroyed our economy, placed millions of citizens on the unemployment lines, have systematically curtailed our civil liberties through the Patriot Act, eliminated all environmental protections for clean air and water. All will have dire consequences for many generations to come. We have become the international class bully regarded by majority of the world’s population. Does this make us any safer? The Bush administration’s policies have fueled mistrust and created an atmosphere of potential terrorists attacked against America. Tax breaks for the ultra wealthy, deregulation of industry and the insane proliferation of the Pentagon budget has now placed America with a $9 trillion debt. The interest on this debt coupled with $1.3 Trillion expense for re-building America’s infrastructure, the need to totally fund Social Security and Medicare for the baby boomers (a promise that needs to be kept) results in a ‘personal’ check for every man, woman and child of $350,000. Now we could ask the Pentagon to find the $3 trillion it has misplaced, cancel absurd military projects that the most knowledgeable say are all ‘folly’ or simple eliminate the public education system in America for everyone except the children of the ultra wealthy. Our next leader will need to have the courage to make these very difficult choices. George Bush says we need to sacrifice. Most Americans are willing to do their part. The question is when is Corporate America willing to do theirs. George Bush has one mantra, legislative policies that have filled the coffers from his corporate cronies and wealthy campaign contributors through privatization and deregulation while gutting all safety nets for the working and middle class of our country. At first blush you may think of one of our leading democratic candidates who is now a household name. I’m going to ask you to dig a little deeper and ……REALLY DREAM! Dream of a country where we live and love together, that discrimination is an embarrassment of a prior generation, that every child is educated to reach their fullest potential, where our governments’ policies do not foster disease, where we learn to live respectfully with our natural resources and strive to protect them as a gift for generations that follow. Dream of a country that is generous to our veterans and ‘first responders’, and appreciates their sacrifice. Dream of a country where the most important occupation is teaching our youth and compensate them accordingly. Dream of a country where millions of our children are not homeless or living below the poverty level. Dream of a country where 44 million Americans are not without health insurance. Dream internationally that our policies encourage good will and a favorable attitude towards America verses the alternative. Dream that we spent our generosity to alleviate hunger, disease and a poor standard of living. that is fueled by the insanity of NAFTA and WTO. Dream of a country where we champion Fair Trade . As middle age adults we have stopped dreaming, we accept ‘business as usual’. We are too practical, too reasonable, and compromise is a very lonely decision. When was the last time you voted FOR a candidate not AGAINST one? When you cast your compromised vote; think about your children and grandchildren and the world you would like to leave them. The late great Paul Wellstone said, “vote your conscience”. There is only one candidate that brings the Democratic Party back to its roots and his name is Dennis Kucinich. He will work tirelessly for the diminishing middle class, who will work to elevate our working poor to a livable standard of living. There is only one candidate who can bring the 50% disenfranchised Americans to the polls for the first time because he hears their cries. If you are not familiar with Congressman Kucinich, I encourage you to go to his website, contact the local campaign office, listen to him speak and by all means read/listen to a “Prayer for America”. Change comes when you take a ‘leap of faith’, when you say ‘no more’! It does not come through evolution, but rather revolution. If we as the guardians of the Constitution, stop dreaming for a better tomorrow what do we have in its place…more of the same? Is this good enough for the greatest nation on the planet? I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my fellow Americans a happy holiday season and a prosperous and healthy New Year! A vote for Kucinich and his Department of Peace is a vote for Peace of Earth.

Middle America is petrified of change; if you cannot drive in one hour to a large body of water you will probably hate everything Dennis stands for. If Dennis does become president however, expect to see radical changes in how the rest of the world views the USA, if not, we can maintain our privileged position as the worlds #1 most disliked country. Again, being that Fox news has more sway in who becomes president than most peoples own frontal lobes, Dennis has little chance. I will be voting for him, I hope that every other intelligent American and many more will do too. - robbb Fri, 23 Nov 2007 22:50:52 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/2888-the-heroics-of-dennis-j-kucinich.html#comment-3745 "a close friend of mind" ??? - d5 Fri, 23 Nov 2007 20:30:29 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/2888-the-heroics-of-dennis-j-kucinich.html#comment-3744 I almost stopped reading after that first line, but I'm glad that I continued. - anonymous Reddit user Fri, 23 Nov 2007 20:28:14 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/2888-the-heroics-of-dennis-j-kucinich.html#comment-3742 Concerned citizens are organizing a one-day online fundraiser for Dennis Kucinich's presidential campaign. Our goal is to get 100,000 people to commit to donate $100 each at Dennis Kucinich's official contribution web site on December 15, 2007, for a total one-day contribution of $10 million. Please pledge now at http://www.december152007.com/ and tell friends about this grassroots effort. - Coordinator, december152007.com Fri, 23 Nov 2007 18:58:17 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/2888-the-heroics-of-dennis-j-kucinich.html#comment-3739 Dennis is the true American hero today. He stands for what so many people want but gets no recognition from the press. Americans have been so brainwashed into believing whatever is dished out to them or in whatever candidate is deemed the front runner, that people don't even try to make a change. It's time to take our country back.... Dennis in '08!!!! - Johanna Fri, 23 Nov 2007 16:48:52 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/2888-the-heroics-of-dennis-j-kucinich.html#comment-3738 ...for an insightful interview on a wonderful man that most of the mainstream media does not want to talk about. It is because of honest and truthful articles such as yours that the tide is turning and people en masse are learning about and discovering this man who could change our country and it's government around. Like he says and he knows he can create this, "the world will love America again!" Let's make this happen and vote for Dennis in '08! - Anita Fri, 23 Nov 2007 16:25:11 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/2888-the-heroics-of-dennis-j-kucinich.html#comment-3736 A wonderful article about a truly outstanding man. The lack of respect that Dennis has received should make every politician in Washington and every news person hang their heads in shame. Dennis is the real thing. This man has the moral and spiritual courage to turn this Nation around. It has been a long time since we have seen a man of this stature willing to serve America. He is an inspiration to Americans who really care, and everyone of us needs to get 100% behind him and his candidacy for President. Dennis represents the best of what America is all about. There is no double speak in this man. He speaks from his heart and he has the heart of a giant and he does what he says. This is integrity. Something almost unheard of in a politician in America these days. Dennis goes beyond democrat or republican. He does what is right. The compassion that has been lost by America in our rise to becoming the worlds sole superpower can only be restored when Americans honestly recognize how badly we have failed in this area and how much we need Dennis Kucinich and other men like him to lead us back to everything that is truly good about America. - Gary Kent Fri, 23 Nov 2007 14:55:58 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/2888-the-heroics-of-dennis-j-kucinich.html#comment-3730 Ms. Mann, thank you for your outstanding article on Dennis Kucinich. He is my hero too, since the day I discovered a vegan was running for President in the last election. I went on to learn much more about Kucinich, his honesty, his total grasp of the issues, his passion for truth, PEACE and the Constitution. It has been my privilege to see him speak many times. Each time I come away with a new sense of hope for our nation and the future. I am not surprised war profiteers General Electric, owners of NBC work so diligently to marginalize Kucinich as a candidate. GE does not seem to be too fond of those who follow a path of PEACE. I see Kucinich far above the fray. His message is reaching the voters who once familiar with his values are loyal supporters. No other candidate has the same compassion for humanity. Kucinich is a true statesman; he is our best opportunity to elect a great leader. I call Kucinich my little Lincoln, who was kinda weird looking too! I expect Kucinich will take a similar place in American history. - Mari Anderson Fri, 23 Nov 2007 04:11:18 +0100
