Dennis Kucinich (placeholder)

I met him by accident, really. I was waiting at PDX to meet my parents’ flight and saw him walking down the terminal with one assistant to meet their driver. I flashed a look of recognition, shook his hand, and wished him good luck in Portland.

He has good ideas… it’s a shame nobody takes him seriously. It seems idealists have no place in politics these days.

He says the things we wish the other candidates would say about the war, big oil, big insurance, big pharmaceutical companies, and the need to put budgets for education and health care ahead of military spending. I met him at the opening of his Las Vegas Campaign Headquarters. I don’t think he has a snowball’s chance in Nevada summer of getting elected President, but I do like the man. He is cut from organic cloth.

He’s so small!

In St Petersburg, FL for the opening of ‘Sicko’ and for StPetePride. Walked with his campaign in the parade. Incredible individual, I’ve supported him in the past and will continue to do so.

i used to run into on a campus @ Cleveland State University, he is a smart guy, but not a politician..

Because at great risk to his political career and reputation, he did not sell out Cleveland’s public utility to private interests. In the end, it turned out he was right after all.

Anyone who is willing to risk everything to follow what he knows to be true is someone worth admiring.

I didn’t know who Dennis was until I heard his Prayer for America speech at a SCADA sponsored meeting. I wasn’t at the meeting, I heard it on our local Pacifica Radio station, KPFK.

Google it. Not the radio station, the speech. You can buy the book, but you can also find the transcript all over the net.

He’s not a great singer, but that didn’t stop him from singing as an introduction.

This man is a true patriot, in the very best sense of the word.

Dennis is a progressive representative who stands up for the rights of those who have the greatest need for representation today.

Was in Wisconsin during the presidential campaign. He did a rally at a local university, but had dinner first with local progressives and peace activists. He liked my wife’s vegan cookies. It was a great interview.
