Dennis Kucinich is coming to Keene NH this Friday, August 22. This
will be
a great opportunity to meet the presidential candidate beginning 11:30
A.M.
at The Pub on Winchester Street, a short distance from Keene Central
Square. At this luncheon, Dennis will be making a statement and
responding
to questions on his campaign and platform:
* Universal Health Care with a Single-Payer Plan
* Full Social Security Benefits at Age 65
* Withdrawal from NAFTA and WTO
* Repeal of the "Patriot Act"
* Right-to-Choose, Privacy, and Civil Rights
* Balance Between Workers and Corporations
* Guaranteed Quality Education, Pre-K through College
* A Renewed Commitment to Peace and Diplomacy
* Restired Rural Communities and Family Farms
* Environmental Renewal and Clean Energy
Congressman Kucinich (D-Ohio) is a modern 'profile in courage.' In the
late
1970s, as the youngest mayor ever of a major city, Dennis bravely said
"NO"
to an Enron-like takeover of Cleveland's city-owned power company,
Muny
Light. In retaliation, major banks, which were interlocked with the
private
utility that would have beomoce a monopoly by seizing Muny, drove the
cirty
into default. Dennis' political career was derailed ... until 15 years
later, when he was vindicated for resisting a corporate power grab and
saving Cleveland residents hundreds of millions of dollars on their
electric bills. In five consecutive winning elections sinnce 1994, his
campaigns' symbol has been a light bulb.
Elected to Congress in 1996, Dennis has continued to wage couragous
battles
for workers, consumers, the environment, and civil rights. He is the
only
presidential candidate who voted against the civil-liberties shredding
"Patriot Act." He rallied opposition to the illegal and destabilizing
Iraq
war from a small group of Congressional dissentrers to the nearly 2/3
of
House Democrats who ultimately voted against the war resolution. He
co-chairs the Progressive Caucus, the largest caucus of Democrats in
Congress. Dennis Kucnich is a heartland politican who can win
elections.
When he became mayor, state senator, and then Congress member, he
defeated
a Republican incumbent each time. In 2004 he and supporters plan to
defeat
another one: George W. Bush.
Besides the luncheon presentation at The Pub, Dennis will be touring
businesses in Keene and is scheduled to be in Dublin at the Public
Library,
4pm, and will meet with the public again 7:00 pm at Harlow's on Grove
Street in Peterborough, NH. This Sunday volunteers from all over New
England plan to meet at the Manchester, NH Kucinich campaign office at
913
Elm Street. For more information contact Trevor Elkins 603-781-7215
