Donate to Dennis Kucinich




It's really late here, but I've been meaning to post this for a while now. Kucinich is facing a really tough primary challenge in his district in Ohio and I have so many reasons why I respect him that--without getting into it for the time being--I'll just ask those who know him like I do to donate a few bucks to his campaign. If you search his name on this blog you'll see a bunch of different stances he's taken that I have a world of respect for (from his early critiques of NAFTA, to opposing the Iraq War, to calling for a ceasefire in Lebanon, his critique of the illegal Israeli Occupation of Palestine and of course his help in getting Obama the win in Iowa by endorsing him there) that I feel it would be a terrible shame to lose his progressive voice. His primary fight is going to be really tough, and corporate interests are lining up behind his opponent (as they did when he was Mayor of Cleveland and he literally kicked their asses out of the energy industry and lost his re-election there, only to re-gain a place in politics after evidence came out of how badly the energy industry was actually screwing Ohioans). Anyways, let's help keep Dennis around.
