27. i was a reagan republican until 3 months ago...
and now i'm voting for Dennis in the upcoming NY state primary. I have not voted since the early 80's as i've increasingly felt the electoral system represents no choice.

I have formed and managed businesses in California and New York and have been reticent to endorse the Democratic party until recently, and am still a member of the libertarian party.

I was scheduled by my marketing manager in london to attend a special conference on financial software protocols (www.fixprotocol.org) at the windows on the world restaurant on September 11th 2001, and cancelled in advance to avoid the transatlantic travel. As it turns, i am very fortunate indeed, as ALL my collegues who attended are now dead.

In this regard, i am quite familiar with the political views of some people who were killed in the world trade center. The wish, as i interpret it, is for a world of fair free trade, where western economics are used to benignly engage the world's people rather than militarism. America should be a city on a hill, an EXAMPLE of a free educated society where liberty and justice are for all, and not just for a select few who can afford to buy government attention.

Dennis Kucinich is a vote that i am very lucky to cast in this forthcoming election, as it represents to me an honest political awakening. This ex-republican swing voter has seen the light, and has no more time to dilly dally.
