Kucinich - a Voice of Reason

Yesterday the House passed a resolution 410 - 8 that "supports Israel's right to defend itself, including to conduct operations both in Israel and in the territory of threatening nations in accordance with international law, including Article 51 of the United Nations Charter." The resolution also "commends the President of the United States for fully supporting Israel as it responds to attacks by terrorist organizations and their state sponsors. "

In contrast, Dennis Kucinich, who abstained, proposed an alternate bill today calling upon the President "to appeal to all sides in the current crisis in the Middle East for an immediate cessation of violence and to commit United States diplomats to multi-party negotiations with no preconditions."

I wrote Kucinich yesterday with the following words, and figured the least I could do would be to post his response.
