Why I'm voting for Dennis Kucinich

I'm against ALL wars, not just Iraq.

I'm for Universal Health Care and removing the health insurance mafia from the equation and reigning in big pharma -- HR 676 is a great start.

I'm for severely cutting the war budget and using the money to make life better for the People of the U.S. and the Peoples of the Earth.

I'm for ending the bullshit, phony "war on terror". I'm for treating other Peoples and Nations as we would wish to be treated.

I'm for curbing the power of corporations and taxing them.

I'm for Public Financing of elections along with taking back OUR AIRWAVES for substantive candidate information dissemination and real debates.

I'm for complete Civil Rights for LGBT persons and all marginalized minorities including "ex-felons".

I'm for the repeal of the misnamed patriot act and all oppressive, police state bullshit legislation.

I'm for complete separation of church and state, that includes banning the "religious concept" and word "marriage" from ALL public laws and discourse -- substitute "domestic partnerships" and make them available to all.

I'm pro-choice. This is a separation of church and State issue! Absolute separation!

I'm for repealing ALL laws that are based on the myths of the desert religions...or any religion.

I'm for ending mandatory minimums, ending the phony "war on drugs", ending the torture chamber philosophy of the criminal-injustice system and replacing it with a humane system of temporary separation from society and rehabilitation for our brothers and sisters who harm others.

I'm unalterably, utterly, completely, absolutely opposed to the death penalty and the egregious life without parole. Both refuse to recognize the human capacity for redemption.

I'm for free public education for all persons from Pre-K through Graduate School.

I'm strongly for renewable energy and an END to the subsidies to the oil/coal/gas/nuclear mafia in favor of subsidies for decentralized solar.

I'm for repealing NAFTA and withdrawing from GATT and the WTO. If any "free trade" agreements are to be made they should include worker rights and environmental protections AT LEAST AS STRONG as "investment" and protections for multi-national corporations.

I'm for repealing the egregious, anti-worker Taft-Hartley Act and support Worker's rights to join together to counter the evil power of the corporations.

I'm for a government crash program on the level of the WPA for Green Jobs...put the millions of unemployed and underemployed to work at creating a sustainable economy and rebuilding manufacturing in the U.S.

I'm for strong subsidies for local economies -- food distribution, small manufacturing and mom and pop businesses to rebuild Main Street U.S.A. I'm for high taxes on multi-national corps. No hiding places for corporations -- no offshore tax havens. You wanna' do business here, you pay stiff taxes here to support the infrastructure We the People supply them.

That's why I'm voting for Kucinich...He's the only candidate who's congruent with my believes and values...
