*Ø* Blogmanac | NADER: Vote Kucinich in Primaries
"It's not too early to get to know the candidates, one of whom we'll
count on not only to get us out of the mess we're in in the U.S., but to
restore our peaceful relationships with others around the world."
NADER SAYS: Vote Kucinich in Primaries
Friday's Cleveland Plain Dealer reported:
"Consumer activist Ralph Nader, still undecided about running again as a third-party candidate, said yesterday that he is urging Democrats to vote for Rep. Dennis Kucinich in the presidential primaries next year...Unlike some of his rivals, Kucinich 'says publicly what he believes privately,' Nader said at a breakfast meeting with reporters. 'At this point, I am urging Democrats to vote for him in the primary.'

IOWA LABOR LEADER: Kucinich is the Up-and-Comer
Sunday's Des Moines Register reported on remarks of Jan Corderman, president of Iowa's influential AFSCME union:
"I think that probably the up-and-comer...is Dennis Kucinich." Kucinich has "had a real presence here in Iowa recently" and has received an enthusiastic reception, said Corderman, whose 13,000-member union is the state's second largest. "Our folks are impressed with his position on issues," she said. "He's definitely a man of the people. But he's also
one that people need to hear more about."

KUCINICH STILL CHALLENGING IRAQ WAR
Continuing his leadership on Capitol Hill in questioning Bush administration claims that led us to war, Rep. Kucinich held a news briefing Tuesday morning with former intelligence officers on the use (or misuse) of intelligence before the war in Iraq. Joining Kucinich was Ray McGovern, a former CIA analyst of 27 years who prepared the President's Daily Brief in the 1980s, and Andrew Wilkie, a senior intelligence analyst at Australia's Office of National Assessments until his resignation
a week before the Iraq war in protest of the way intelligence was used to justify Australia's support for the war.
KUCINICH FIGHTS FOR PEACE DIVIDEND
When Dennis Kucinich calls for more spending on healthcare, education and environmental cleanup to be paid by cutting the bloated military budget, he is often outnumbered on the campaign trail. (Howard Dean has challenged Kucinich on that stand.) He is also typically outnumbered in Congress, as Associated Press reported days ago:
"Though the defense bill accounts for about one-sixth of federal spending, it has generated little debate. After the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, lawmakers have been reluctant to deny the Pentagon the equipment it says it needs to defend the country. But Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, an anti-war Democratic presidential candidate, said the bill does little to make America safer. 'The only thing this Congress will take care of today are the profit-gouging defense contractors,' he said.
