The Case For Dennis Kucinich
"I feel the same way about Dennis Kucinich today. In my heart, I know he's right. He's right on the war. He's right on domestic issues. He's right on health care. He's right on the environment. And he may be right for you." Take a look and find out before you discard him because MSM says he is unelectable.

Which Presedential Candidate votes the way that you would vote?
With the 2008 Presidential Election fast approaching it is time to know your candidates before you cast that all important vote for one of them. One issue doesn't make a candidate, it is the combination of all the issues as a whole that should be your decider.
Mainstream media picks frontrunners and plasters their faces front and center for everyone to see. But do they really vote for your values? The best way to find out is to dig through their past voting records to see their history on the issues. That can be a daunting task digging through past votes at many different levels of politics. Thankfully there is a site that has eliminated all the work for us and we just answer a few questions and it spits out the data.
Try it out for yourself, it may suprise you who has voted when it counts the way you would have voted. Click the link and it will open up a new window.

Wake the Hell Up America! - Enough is Enough!
This is a great video I found made by a Dennis Kucinich Supporter. It explains the Conyers/Kucinich Health Bill H.R. 676. This bill is the solution to this countries health care crisis. It would cover everybody from birth to death because health care should be a human right not a privilege.

Hurry Our Health Care System Needs CPR
The United States Health Care System is despicably in ruins. The cold hard facts of the Unites States Health Care System puts us near the very bottom of all industrialized nations. In the United States there is a line drawn in the sand and it is the more money you have the better health care you receive.
# of Americans with no health insurance - Approximately 45 million or 1 in 6.5 Americans
# of Americans with minimal health insurance - Approximately 45 million or 1 in 6.5 Americans
So nearly 1 in 3 Americans have little or no health insurance.
1 in 2 Poor Americans go without health insurance each year.
So that explains why the current health care system we have in place cost 18,000 Americans their lives each year.
Citizens of 34 nations live longer than Americans.
The World Health Organization has ranked our health care system 37th worldwide for health care performance.
It is time for us to revive the American dream and offer a basic right to all Americans. The right to health care for all is already written and embodied in H.R.676 the Conyers-Kucinich Bill. The bill is written by John Conyers and Dennis Kucinich and is co sponsored by 78 members of congress. The plan covers all health care needs, including dental care, mental care, vision care, prescription drugs and long-term care. Its a not for profit, medicare for all and is supported by more than 14,000 physicians nationwide. So if you are one in three with little or no health care, I recommend you give your congressman a call and tell them you want them to support H.R.676 the Conyers-Kucinich Bill.
ITS NOT A CHOICE, ITS A RIGHT.

Kucinich touts 'Medicare for all' plan

Kucinich touts 'Medicare for all' plan
By BENJAMIN KEPPLE
New Hampshire Union Leader Staff
MANCHESTER – U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, an Ohio Democrat running for his party's Presidential nomination, focused yesterday on the nation's health-care system and the war in Iraq as he wrapped up his third campaign trip to New Hampshire.
Kucinich , received just 1 percent of the vote in the 2004 New Hampshire primary. This time around, though, he is doing things differently. He has been traveling early and often to the Granite State, and has been more aggressive in differentiating his views from those of the race's front-runners.
"My candidacy challenges the Democratic Party and gives the people of New Hampshire someone to vote for who doesn't have any strings attached," said Kucinich, who yesterday morning spoke to a small group of supporters at the Merrimack Restaurant on Elm Street.
Kucinich, a former mayor of Cleveland, touched on other issues during breakfast, such as calling for incentives to boost production of wind- and solar-energy technology, and pushing for full employment in the economy.
