The loudest mantra of the 2004 Elections, so far, has been, "Anyone But Bush." This attitude is easy to understand. The current administration has been one of the worst in American history, leading "US" into a permanent war against the world, lying to us about the reasons, and letting our economy and civil rights plummet. However, the "Anyone But Bush" mentality, while understandable, may pose the largest threat to America's ability to change course. It has, in fact, not been "Bush" the man or personality that has led our
country to such turmoil, but the POLICIES of the administration that have been so disastrous. So begs the question - are we really ready to get behind a Democratic candidate that doesn't have major policy
differences with the incumbent? While John Kerry consistently rallies enthusiastic crowds with anti-Bush rhetoric, he has consistently refused to advocate plans that would change the country's overall direction.
Some food for thought; Kerry AGREE's with Bush on the following major positions:
1. The United States should continue the occupation of Iraq, remaining in control of Iraqi oil, reconstruction contracts, the privatization of the Iraqi economy, and control over the Iraqi political process. They reject Congressmen Kucinich's Plan to Bring the Troops Home http://kucinich.us/bringourtroopshome.php
Furthermore, Kerry is guilty of supporting the baseless claims that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction that Bush was using to create a climate of fear and a pretext for war.
http://www.kucinich.us/pressreleases/pr_012504.php
2. The United States should remain in NAFTA and the WTO, two trade agreements that allow international corporations to move American jobs overseas to exploit cheap labor and low environmental standards. http://www.kucinich.us/pressreleases/pr_022604.php
3. The United States should continue to be the only major industrialized country in the world that doesn't have Universal Single-Payer Health Care for all its citizens. Kerry will continue the For-Profit Health Care System that makes its money
by NOT delivering the full coverage that people need.
http://www.kucinich.us/issues/universalhealth.php
4. The United States should continue to spend billions and billions of additional taxpayer dollars to fight aggressive wars, occupy countries, and develop more excessive weapons technology, including
more nuclear weapons and putting weapons in space. Kerry have refused to join Kucinich in the effort to cut the bloated Pentagon budget 15% to provide child care and free public education, Kindergarten through College.

There are clear problems with a John Kerry Democratic ticket. Now that Ralph Nader is in the race, the Democrats face the same outcome
as the 2000 elections when many said Nader's third party candidacy cost them the key votes in Florida. And when people that are against the war see that Kerry voted for the it, supported WMD claims, supports sending another 40,000 troops to fuel the occupation, and has no clear exit strategy, they are going to be very disturbed that they have to choose between “this guy” and Mr.Bush. Further, they are going to learn that Kerry has endorsed a leftist policy doctrine that supports increased military interventionism just
like the Neo-Conservatives that planned the war on Iraq prior to 9-11. http://counterpunch.org/hand02182004.html And, to make things worse, Kerry and Bush belong to the same secret society that traces both men back to their days at Yale. Both Kerry and Bush remain active members in an elite power club that neither of them are allowed to talk about.

Americans should be alarmed by this information. Americans should be alarmed by the way that Dennis Kucinich has been laughed off in this election process as a "no chance long shot," because his ideas for this country are so "radical." How have we come to think that getting out of a war, that we started based on lies, is "radical?" How is sticking up for American jobs over corporate profits and international trade suddenly "radical?" How are plans to provide
every American with quality Health Care and Education "radical?" Who is controlling the word "radical" here?
Regardless of what anyone says about electablity, polls, endorsements, money, or any other numerical computerized and media manipulated methods of determining who our next President should be,
a vote for Dennis Kucinich on Tuesday is a vote for hope, a vote for the possibility of a better future, a vote for truth telling and integrity, a vote for peace and sustainability, a vote for the new rising social consciousness in America,... a vote for human NEED over corporate GREED.
Please join our movement http://kucinich.us/VolunteerAction/
This thing is far from over. We are in it all the way to the Democratic Convention (July) where we will either win the nomination or play a major role in deciding the party's platform. We will continue to insist that America end its occupation of Iraq by bringing in UN peacekeepers and handing over control of the Iraqi
economy and government. We will continue to insist that the US take a new leading role in international trade so that workers rights and the environment come before corporate profits. We will continue to
insist that the Democratic Party take up the goal of Universal Single-Payer Health Care and fully funded public education for all.
Dennis is the right leader at the right time to guide our nation down a new prosperous path. The question is: "How much change are you ready for?"
