In 2004, when Dennis Kucinich first ran for president, he spoke at the Democratic forum at OSU and he received the most applause of any candidate, but on the evening news did they hardly mentioned his name or the applause he received. I think we need to take our airwaves back and insure that they are truthful, fair, and have a strong investigative journalistic standard and not try to manipulate public policy and opinion. We need to hear both the good and bad on all candidates and get rid of those candidates who just want power, money for their next election, cushy job when they leave the congress etc. We need more ethics in government. Dennis Kucinich would have been our best candidate for President. He would have been a President of the People, by the People and for the People and NOT of the Corporations, by the Corporations and for the Corporations. Thank you Rep. Kucinich for staying in there and fighting the fight. Good people have a tough time getting coverage and we may never get ethical candidates because the networks employ tactics to make lots of snide remarks about candidates who don’t cater to the Corporate interest.

Mr Kucinich sir, What does it feel like to be the only light shining bright in Washington. You are the only person in politics who sees what the world needs to make it into the future.

Dennis gets it but is shunned by his party. Many people get it but stay at home and comment online or allow groups like MoveOn to file petitions. We need to heed Dennis and Robert's call. Be the change you want to see. But, not just that, we also have to be visibly present in the streets, in elected officials offices and in discussions with the self-serving politically blind. Present in a loving caring fashion but with courage, conviction and vigor.

How to create the cultural shift so that words such as these are taken and absorbed? Unfortunately, Rep. Kucinich has been turned into a sort of cartoon by the the right and the complicit media. Mister Kucinich, you are a light in this darkness. Many people feel the way you do, for whatever that is worth.

Senator Kucinich is beyond politics as usual. I only hope we can overcome all the fear and hate in our country before it is too late. Most (but not all) the people I interact with here in NC, USA would be completely dumbfounded by his ideas on cooperation, love and conflict resolution because they are so entrenched in their belief systems, (religious, economic cultural etc.) that attempt to justify discrimination, hate and fear. Despite thousands and thousands of job layoffs we continue to vote Republican as a state, clearly against our own self interest. Why? Fear... Most are scared to death of any ideas that challenge their belief systems. Kennedy is right also. We have to do our best to move one person at a time toward a more progressive and humane paradigm. ps I'll still take Obama over "John Wayne" McCain.

To hear a politician speaking in such a deep and honest manner is really refreshing. Dennis you truely are a visionary, and I continue to marvel at how much you get it.
