Kucinich Urges EPA Let California Control Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Ohio Democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich's congressional website http://kucinich.house.gov/ posted the following press release.

Kucinich Urges EPA Let California Control Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Washington, Jun 16 - WASHINGTON, D.C. — Six term Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich of Ohio has asked the United States EPA to approve California's request to set its own standards for greenhouse gas emissions. Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA can grant permission to California to set air quality standards in the interest of protecting public health and the environment.

"California is entitled to step forward to regulate greenhouse gases, especially when the EPA is not doing its job. The EPA must grant California a waiver. Another eleven states are prepared to take responsibility for reductions in greenhouse gases. Unfortunately reducing greenhouse gas is not a priority of the Bush Administration. They clearly do not want to do exercise responsibility or authority. They must permit those states that are prepared to protect public health and the environment, as is California, to act," Kucinich said.

Kucinich acted in response to a request by California Attorney General Jerry Brown. Kucinich spoke with Brown today. He and Brown worked together to promote progressive environmental policies at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa in the summer of 2002.

Hamas Victory Is The Result of Bush Strategic Political Failure

Ohio Democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich's congressional website http://kucinich.house.gov/ posted the following press release.

Hamas Victory Is The Result of Bush Strategic Political Failure

Washington, Jun 15 - WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to news reports about ongoing violence in Gaza, Rep. Dennis Kucinich released the following statement.

“The chaos and factional violence in Gaza that ultimately led to the Hamas military takeover of the Presidential Compound and the National Security Guard building demonstrates a failure of President Bush’s strategy in matters relating to Hamas.

“The humanitarian, economic and political boycott imposed on the elected Hamas government were meant to force Hamas to accept U.S. and Israeli conditions or alternatively to force it out of power.

“The boycott has accomplished neither goal and instead has created a severe humanitarian crisis that is now marred by political factionalism, violence, and unrest.

Since the suspension of aid to the Palestinian Authority began in April 2006, one out of every fifteen families in the Occupied Territories has run a debt exceeding $25,000 typically for water, electricity, and food. The number of people living on less than 50 cents a day has risen to more than a million. The Palestinian Authority budget has shrunk from $1.5 billion annually to $500 million. This has created a dire situation when the Palestinian Authority is responsible for 1,600 schools and 400 hospitals and medical centers.

The UN Middle East envoy, Alvaro de Soto, claims that the conditions set by the Quartet, the EU, the US, the UN, and Russia, are "unattainable." Additionally, a leaked memo written in May and printed in the Guardian this week, de Soto confirmed that the US pressured Mahmoud Abbas to refuse Hamas' initial invitation to form a "national unity government."

If we are to return to the path of Middle East peace, Congress must pressure the Administration to:

1. Announce that the U.S. will immediately extend diplomatic recognition to the former national unity government coalition of Hamas and Fatah;
2. Ask for the reconstitution of the coalition government;
3. Initiate high level diplomatic talks in the region, including representatives chosen by the coalition government;
4. Send emergency food and medical aid to Gaza, under auspices of UN and NGOs.

DENNIS KUCINICH AMERICA MUST LEAVE IRAQ A.S.A.P.!

DENNIS KUCINICH MOVE TO IMPEACH V.P. CHENEY GAINS SUPPORT!

Kucinich: Impeachment Resolution Gains Momentum in House of Representatives

Kucinich: Impeachment Resolution Gains Momentum in House of Representatives

Washington, Jun 13 - WASHINGTON, D.C. — Below is Congressman Dennis Kucinich’s (D-OH) statement from a press conference that he held with Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) today.

“Over a month ago, I stood up on behalf of the America people who were expressing concern about whether or not Congress was going to respond to the trampling of our Constitution that was going on.

“And the Articles of Impeachment that I introduced against the Vice President represented a response to the concerns of millions of Americans who have felt that the Vice President must be accountable for his false statements which accelerate the United States toward war by false claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, of false claims of Iraq’s connection to al Qaeda and 9/11 and false claims of Iraq’s intention to attack the United States.

“The Vice President’s statements with respect to beating the drums of war against Iran were also in the Articles of Impeachment.

“Since the introduction of the resolution the Vice President has continued along the path of conduct that led me to file the articles of Impeachment.

“The Vice President actively and systematically sought to deceive the citizens and Congress about an alleged threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. He has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive us about the relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda. And he openly lied to the America people and has publicly threatened aggression against Iran.

“Since the introduction, seven Members of Congress have signed on as co-sponsors of the resolution. They are Albert Wynn (D-MD), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), Yvette Clarke (D-NY), William Lacy Clay (D-MO), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) and Maxine Waters (D-CA). Congresswomen Lee and Woolsey are co-chairs of the Progressive Caucus, the largest caucus in the Democratic Party.

“And with me now is the most recent cosponsor of H.Res. 333 – a woman who’s the driving force in organizing Democrats to try to come up with a strategy to try and take this country out of Iraq – Maxine Waters.

“Congresswoman Maxine Waters’ support on this issue is of national significance. She has demonstrated a capacity for courage and determination that everyone knows and everyone respects. And I’m proud to have her join this effort.

“I believe this is another milestone. With the support of the leaders of the Progressive Caucus and the leader of the Out of Iraq Caucus we will see more and more Members of Congress signing on in this effort to save our Constitution and protect the very values that bind us as a nation.”

Kucinich Introduces Bill to Exemplify Importance of the Underground Railroad

Ohio Democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich's congressional website http://kucinich.house.gov/ posted the following press release.

Kucinich Introduces Bill to Exemplify Importance of the Underground Railroad

Washington, Jun 13 - WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), along with his Ohio colleagues Stephanie Tubbs Jones and Jean Schmidt introduced the bipartisan Underground Railroad Educational and Cultural Program Act of 2007. Senator Sherrod Brown introduced the same bill in the Senate.

This legislation will re-authorize a competitive grant program administered by the Department of Education to research, display, interpret and collect artifacts relating to the history of the Underground Railroad.

“This important effort will educate citizens across the country and around the world about the Underground Railroad movement in America,” Kucinich said. “This legislation will ensure a strong public-private partnership exists to supplement and leverage federal resources along with funds collected at the state and local level.”

“During one of the darkest eras in our history, a group of courageous Americans, both black and white, free and enslaved, bound together to form what would be known as the Underground Railroad.

“This racially integrated movement to bring about social change has familiar heroes such as Harriet Tubman, William Still, John Rankin and Susan B. Anthony, but there are thousands more who risked their lives to help others escape the clutches of slavery as they fled to the North.”

The Underground Railroad Educational and Culture Program Act of 2007 would provide competitive grants to non-profit organizations around the United States to shed light on one of the most important and courageous social movements in our history while preserving and interpreting artifacts found from this critical era.
