Remember Who We Are
This evening I had the opportunity to see Dennis Kucinich. He's consistent, sincere and has more integrity in his big toe than any other candidate. The room was full of people, maybe 120, which on the notice of less than a day was a good turnout. He spoke of our interconnectedness and said we have a conscious choice to make.
His most important message was; "
remember who we are"
I think as a whole, we lose ourselves amid fear and false patriotism. Hopefully the slap of continued deception will shock us into remembering.
I especially liked his comparison of the defense budget and the education budget; paraphrased;
When our children fail competency tests the schools lose funding. When our missles fail tests, we increase funding.
Tomorrow NDP Leader Howard Hampton and U.S. Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich meet in Detroit to promote the value of a publicly owned hydro system.
8:30 a.m. - Hampton, Kucinich Meeting - Detroit
9:30 a.m. - MEDIA CONFERENCE -- DETROIT (Riverwalk, at the intersection of Civic Centre Dr. and Atwater St.; Rain Location: Cobo Hall - the end of Jefferson Ave. West at Washington Blvd.)
