Kucinich lays it out!

Kucinich says it Video

All warmongers should step down, and let those with real vision lead, those who saw this mess ahead of time and voted "No".

My hope Gore more years

Gore More Years

I am a progressive at heart... but being weaned on Howard Dean I can't "sacrifice the good for the perfect."

Kucinich is great for getting the issues out on the table and I applaud him......Loudly. But I believe he can not win..... not anywhere near winning.

Many progressives shun me for not backing Kucinich.

I am holding my breath till Al Gore announces his candidacy. Gore is not as progressive as I'd wish but way more then most candidates.

Let your voices be heard.... Write letters Now!!!

This is mostly a canned message from Senator Kennedy's office. But this bit is from me (Cathy) -- In case you haven't heard about the legislation he's proposed to end this Iraq thing I'm sending this too you:

If you care about changing direction in Iraq, now is the moment to act.

George Bush has announced an escalation of the war in Iraq. He wants to spend more of our money and lose more of our loved ones in pursuit of his dangerous fantasies.

But escalation is not President Bush's decision to make. He must have the people's consent.

Senator Ted Kennedy is proposing legislation that will prevent any further escalation in Iraq until two important things happen: the president presents a plan for success and Congress approves it.
