An America that tortures is not my America.
An America that denies healthcare to its citizens is not my America.
An America run by amoral corporations and corrupt politicians for the exclusive benefit of the few at the expense of the many is not my America.
An America that drops bombs on innocent babes, fabricates elaborate lies to cheat, steal and justify bogus wars of aggression is not my America.
Ordinary Americans are desperate for change, and have been refused it time and time again by those they have looked to for relief – the Democrats. Of the eight Democratic candidates for president, there is only one who speaks the truth, and there is only one who would make any significant difference, and that is Dennis Kucinich.
Sure, he saw a UFO, so what? So has 14% of the American public including Jimmy Carter and countless Air Force and commercial pilots, NASA astronauts, scientists, lawmen and others.
One of America's first astronauts claims that the government has withheld information that alien spacecraft have visited Earth.
Leroy Gordon "Gordo" Cooper Jr. says the government has "swept under the rug" the truth about unidentified flying objects or UFOs.

At least Kucinich is honest enough to tell us the truth.
When they asked the Democratic candidates about gay marriage they all hemmed and hawed and played for political advantage, except for Dennis, who nailed it. He said it was about equality.
No other candidate has a vision of peace and international cooperation. No other candidate has the guts to speak the simple truth.
Congress ‘doesn’t get it,' and neither do other Democratic Presidential candidates
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This morning’s passage of the Peru Free Trade Agreement by the U.S. House proves that the Democrat-controlled Congress is totally out of touch with the American people and refuses to abide by promises it made to voters in last year’s elections, Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich said immediately following the vote.
"They just don’t get it," said Kucinich, D-OH, one of 132 members who voted against the measure, "and neither do the other candidates for President whose campaign rhetoric on trade is a smokescreen to conceal their voting records on trade."
"When they’re standing in front of a union audience or outside a closed plant somewhere, they bemoan the three millions jobs that have been lost because of free trade agreements," Kucinich noted. "When they had a chance to vote as a member of Congress, they supported those agreements, which means they voted against American workers."

On the issue of fair trade, as opposed to so-called ‘free trade’, Dennis has a voting record that no other candidate can touch. The next closest is Edwards who stands at 63%.
Kucinich – 93% fair trade voting record (14/15 votes). It seems wrong to even give less than 100%, because he just didn’t show for the Morocco FTA vote (meaning one non vote). But in order to be consistent, I’ve got to have non-votes not count towards your fair trade percentage. On everything else, he voted the fair trade position (Fast Track 1998, 2001, 2002, NAFTA for Africa (twice), China PNTR, WTO withdrawal (twice), NAFTA expansions to Chile, Singapore, Australia, Central America, Bahrain and Oman).
Public Citizen- Eyes on Trade
Dennis is also the only politician in America with the courage to do the right thing by impeaching the criminals in the Whitehouse – and he’s smart enough to know we have to start with Cheney.
Dennis Kucinich: Standing Tall in the House as Cheney Impeachment Bill Advances
By Dave Lindorff
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, the candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination that the mainstream media like to ignore or belittle, stands head and shoulders above the moral midgets and shriveled sophists in that contest, especially today, after he successfully forced the full House to vote to send his bill to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney to a hearing in the House Judiciary Committee.
Kucinich, whose Cheney impeachment bill, despite having 22 co-sponsors, has been stalled for over six months thanks to the unconscionable machinations of the Democratic Congressional leadership and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, should now get at least a genuine debate in the House Judiciary Committee. With enough pressure from constituents, his bill might even go into hearings.

Kucinich is the only one who has heard our pleas for justice and acted on them. Why wouldn’t we support that? We’d be crazy not to.
The MSM ridicule him because they know he represents US – we the people.
Let’s make a difference in America. Let’s show Dennis a little love!
