DENNIS KUCINICH *I CANNOT BE BOUGHT!* AUG 28, 2007
On August 28, 2007, Dennis Kucinich appeared on MSNBC to talk about why people will be moving towards his side making him the Democratic Nominee.
Clinton woos the outsourcers that workers fear.
Hillary Clinton, American workers enemy #1. In her home state of New York, Senator Clinton's track record shows she gives American jobs away at a rate of 50 to 1. Imagine 8 years of her as commander of chief, all Americans jobs will be outsourced.

Dennis Kucinich supporter made video spotlight: Week 3
Over the last few months I have noticed some of the supporters of Dennis Kucinich have put hard work into making great videos to spread the message about Dennis Kucinich. So I have decided I am going to start spotlighting one Dennis Kucinich supporter made video each week. The videos will be chosen from what I find on YouTube and looks to get a great message about Dennis Kucinich and his message of peace out.
This weeks video is from YouTube user Scoppertop and really has a quick and strong message about Dennis Kucinich.

Forcing American Democracy on Iraq
When we invaded Iraq in March of 2003, most Americans backed the presidents plan of overthrowing Saddam Hussein's brutal dictatorship. But should we have been so willing to accept the presidents decision? A deep look points out that maybe we should have stayed home and fixed our own democracy before forcing it on unwilling countries.
The democracy that Americans have come to accept is far from what are forefathers intended. Our democracy is so morally decayed it may never be saved from ruin. We have come to the point that teacher/student sex is widespread, politicians having affairs with interns and hookers is weekly news, violence in schools is at epidemic proportions and the news reporting about our children's role model getting another slap on the wrist for a driving under the influence is constant.
Where has America's morals gone? Is that the kind of democracy we need to be spreading worldwide?
Under the Hussein regime, which was admittedly a very brutal regime, Iraqis did have a sense of life. The fathers would go to work, the kids would go to school, the mothers would go to the market and the families would pray with little fear. Now fear rules Iraq and doing a simple chore like going to the market makes a family wonder if they could be walking into their death of a suicide bombing. And that is the people who can afford the market. Very few people have any money because we have bombed every school, place of employment and mosque.
So will Iraq ever end their civil war and have peace? Not while we are there. The people of Iraq have no interest in the corrupt model of democracy we have laid for them to follow. Will they ever grasp democracy by the horns and reap the benefits? They just might someday, but we better hope that it is better than our morally decayed version.
Our country needs to stop policing the world and come home and fix ourselves. Not one person should go homeless, uninsured and unable to afford higher education if we can afford to drop 10 million dollar bombs around the globe.

Social Networking in the Democratic Party Week 20: Tracking the electronic campaign.
Social Networking sites are primarily used by millions of e-generationers, computer age adults of late teens through thirty somethings, to communicate with friends and family. But this presidential election cycle many e-generationers are doing something different with these social networking sites, they are showing their political support on their personal pages so that all can see. And I am here to compare the amount of support each candidate has so far.
This is the weekly report on how the Democratic Presidential Candidates are faring in the world of Social Networking.
