my 114th ltte,endorsing Kucinich in my local Paper-feel free to comment
We are all exploring the pro's and con's of the various candidates running for president.Due to the state of American media,the facts are often superseded by sensationalism.I'd like you all to consider a presidential candidate who stands for the following in both words and actions:
-An end to military action in Iraq and the Middle East,with an enhanced focus on diplomacy.
-Medicare for All-a universal, single-payer, not-for-profit health care system that leaves no American behind.
-Survival of the middle-class-through repeal of NAFTA,promotion of universal education from pre-school through college,rewarding companies who keep business in the United States with strong tax incentives,creating millions of jobs through a public works program combining infrastructure(bridges,dams,roads,etc) and energy needs of our country.
-Restoring the Constitutional powers of President by repealing the "unitary executive" privileges empowered by the Military Commissions Act,which elevate the President to a level equivalent to a king or dictator.
-commitment to conserving the water,land and climate through initiatives laid out by the Kyoto Treaty and his proposed Works Green Administration.
-Initiatives to prevent homelessness,poverty,and hunger in our country-initiatives sparked by his own experience with homelessness.
-Initiatives to restore AMERICAN capitolism by doing away with NAFTA,the WTO and multiglobal corporations that have robbed so many middle class American jobs and taken corporate ownership out of American hands.
These are the issues that concern me.I am endorsing a candidate who has shown through his actions that he sincerely has our nation's best interests at heart.That candidate is Dennis Kucinich.For more information,go to dennis4president.com.

1. First of all, let me congradulate you for so many letters.
It's a great letter, it should earn you a personal visit fron Dennis. I hope it gets printed. It's a clear, concise summary of his very good platform.

3. Great letter and thank you for all of your hard work with previous
letters as well.

Important distinction between other candidates...Words and actions!

note--capitalism, if not too late.

6. Thank you. You are an inspiration. A couple of suggested changes...
"pros" and "cons" (no apostrophe)

and "Initiatives to restore AMERICAN capitolism "
should be "capitalism"

"multiglobal" ==> I think you mean "multinational"

7. Great letter.
I'd love to see some like that in my local paper. In fact....

perhaps that should be a job that I take on. ;)

Others have pointed out a couple of minor corrections. Please let us know when it shows up, and if there are any follow up responses!

8. thank you guys-hopefully it will be printed Tuesday.
Please take a minute to let your neighbors know in depth about your candidate.They learn so little from the MSM.You just might change a mind.
