Kucinich saved Cleveland 100s of $millions
Only a fool WOULDN'T vote for this principled man who was awarded a commendation from Cleveland years after he stuck to his morals and refused to privatize Cleveland Muny Light -- and who successfuly ran for Congress in Ohio (winning in a largely Repulican district) using a bright lightbulb as a campaign graphic. This progressive visionary enjoys surging grassroots support across the country; and this book clearly and joyously shows why. Read "A Prayer for America" and discover why we -- American citizens, and people the world over -- need Dennis Kucinich to be the next President of the United States.

We can take back America
Dennis Kucinich blows my mind. Here is a career politician who is an active member of a labor union. Here is a Catholic who understands broad spiritual values. Here is a man who writes beautiful, captivating speeches sometimes hours before delivering them. Sure, this book could benefit from a little autobiography or maybe more interviews, but the speeches stand alone as stirring examples of the kind of vision we need in Washington today. Whether he's standing up against nuclear weapons or the war in Iraq, or standing up for women's rights and the rights of workers to organize, Dennis speaks to the real people of this country. People who don't make enough money to get their kids' medicines, people who can't afford to get their car fixed, people who wonder if they're gonna lose everything if just one more thing goes wrong. These are the folks that are gonna surprise everyone next year when they come out in droves to elect Dennis Kucinich the next President of these United States!

Him...progressive??
In the 1960's, many male leaders of the new left only defined revolution in terms of whatever affected men only. Women's issues such as reproduction were quickly labeled trival matters and it was supposedly best that status quo restrictions remain on women's sexuality such as the then-criminalization of abortion (originally done when all surgery was potentially fatal). The idea that women are entitled to our own bodies was a long way in reaching some of these men,

Apparently it only reached Dennis Kucinich when he decided to run for president. Since the Democratic Presidential nominee had to court pro-choice groups, he attempted a quick switch, Fortunately we saw through the act and have exposed him for the chauvinist he will always be.

Because Representative Kucinich had openly enjoyed restricting women's own rights to their own bodies until there was an inkling he could be the Democratic presidential nominee, I can never take him seriously as the 'progressive' candidate.

Believing that we progressive Democrats were naive enough to forget the party has many Roman Catholic officials who support reproductive rights specifically as social justice (Ted and Patrick Kennedy, John Kerry), he attempted to portray this as only a matter of concience.

Funny how he did not care about women's right to life after they obtain a back alley abortion in desperation---circumstances which he undoubtedly was previously briefed on by various community groups, but did not seem to care then,

He also did not care about the First Amendment which clarifies this nation is strong because of it's separation of church and state. Even if a policy violated his religion, it was important to remember legalized abortion did not violate the practices of other faith perspectives.

His concience actually allowed thousands of young, international, and low-income women to get slaughtered by quacks when a physician would have been able to provide the ethical treatment he is newly interested in,
