Kucinich Votes To Keep Jobs In The United States

Stands Up For Millions Of Hardworking Americans

Washington, Nov 8 – Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) stood up for American workers today and voted against the United States-Peru Free Trade Agreement in an attempt to keep good-paying jobs in the United States.

“The U.S.-Peru Free Trade Agreement continues the destructive trade policies that spur the exodus of good-paying jobs and undermine the ability of working people to protect their living standards,” Kucinich said.

“Our workers in our communities have been hurt by the devastating impact of our flawed trade policies. Since 2001, more than 3 million valuable manufacturing jobs have been lost by U.S. workers due to the unsound NAFTA model for trade, analogous to the U.S.-Peru Free Trade Agreement.

“The Bush Administration insists on continuing to implement the same policies that have off-shored jobs and left hard-working Americans in precarious circumstances.

“As corporations cut U.S. jobs and relocate in search of lower labor costs, the U.S.-Peru FTA threatens to expand sweatshop labor in Peru and cast doubt on the adequate enforcement of worker protections. In a company already fraught by high poverty levels and a growing gap between the wealthy and the poor, the U.S.-Peru FTA will further exasperate Peru’s difficulties with provisions that ultimately promote privatization and deregulation of basic necessities such as water and electricity.

“I cannot and will not support a harmful trade agreement that threatens the livelihood of millions of hard-working Americans.”

Kucinich, who has an outstanding voting record on keeping jobs in the United States and standing up for workers’ rights and environmental protections.
• Kucinich voted twice to disapprove extension of special trade privileges to China;
• Kucinich voted to provide $1 million for the U.S. Trade Representative to study the impact of multilateral trade agreements on U.S. labor and environmental standards;
• Kucinich voted not to grant China Permanent Normal Trade Relation with the United States;
• Kucinich voted twice not to pass a bill that would have extended NAFTA treatment to 26 Caribbean and Latin American countries;
• Kucinich voted three times not to grant “fast track” trade authority that would have allowed the President to unilaterally determine trade policy and make agreements that require changes to U.S. laws without meaningful input from Congress or the American people;
• Kucinich voted twice against African Trade bills, which would condition trade relations with sub-Saharan Africa on mandatory economic changes guaranteeing access for transnational corporations to Africa’s natural resources and market;
• Kucinich offered and voted for an amendment to forbid the use of any federal funds to enforce WTO and NAFTA rulings against local and state laws;
• Kucinich voted against a bilateral “free trade agreement” that effectively extended the failed NAFTA to Chile;
• Kucinich voted against a bilateral “free trade agreement” that effectively extended the failed NAFTA to the Asian dictatorship of Singapore;
• Kucinich voted against a bilateral “free trade agreement” negotiated by the Bush Administration that effectively extended the failed NAFTA to Australia;
• Kucinich voted against a trade agreement replicating the failed NAFTA and CAFTA models with Oman;
• Kucinich voted against expanding NAFTA to Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.

A War Crime In Motion – Kucinich Warns Of Bunker Buster Attempt On Iranian Nuclear Research Labs

Kucinich Warns Of Bunker Buster Attempt On Iranian Nuclear Research Labs

WASHINGTON, D.C. (November 8, 2007) — In a debate on Defense spending on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives today, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) warned against a bunker buster bombing of Iranian nuclear research labs.

“It has been well reported that there is a provision in this bill that will enable the modification of B-2 stealth bombers so that they can drop what is called a ‘bunker buster’ or Massive Ordinance Penetrators (MOP) that would destroy deep underground targets,” Kucinich said.

Kucinich voted against the conference report for Department of Defense FY08 spending because it includes $10 million to convert the 30,000-pound MOP for use on the B-2 bomber.

“Defense analysts have suggested that there is one reason and one reason only why this request was expedited by the Administration and that is retrofit these B-2 bombers so that they’ll be able to drop 30,000-pound bombs on Iranian nuclear research facilities,” Kucinich said.

“We cannot approve the Department of Defense Appropriations Conference Report without thinking about the consequences of the Administrations’ approach. If 30,000 pound bombs – bunker busters – are dropped on nuclear research labs, the release of radiation would create a humanitarian and ecological disaster.

“This is a war crime in motion. Dropping the bunker busters would have human health effects that could be catastrophic.

“Congress needs to think about the implications. Congress needs to oppose a strike in Iran. Diplomacy is the preferred path. That is why I am opposing this conference report today.”

Impeachment of Dick Cheney + Letters for Impeachment

Dandelion Salad

From an email.

UnitedforPeace.org
November 8th, 2007

There’s almost always some strange twist to how things move through Congress. The most recent example was just this past Tuesday, Nov. 6th, when 165 Republicans voted to force a debate on the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney, and Democrats voted against it. Somehow both parties thought that an open debate about the crimes of Dick Cheney would embarrass the Democrats.

Here is what happened: As promised, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (OH) requested a floor vote on H.Res. 799 (formerly H.Res. 333), a bill he had introduced to move a process to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney forward. Rep. Steny Hoyer — who as Majority Leader is in the second highest position in the House — moved to table the bill. Then all hell broke loose, as 165 Republicans voted with Rep. Kucinich and 85 other brave Democrats to force a debate on impeachment.

Determined to block that debate, Rep. Hoyer moved to send H.Res. 799 back to the Judiciary Committee. That motion passed with the support of all but 5 Democrats (Kucinich, Bob Filner, Marcy Kaptur, Maxine Waters, and Ed Towns). Read a live blog of the proceedings here.

United for Peace and Justice recognizes the significance of this development, and we urge you to help move this process forward. Here are some things you can do:

1. Call the House Judiciary Committee at 202-225-3951 and demand full and thorough hearings on H.Res. 799/333.

2. Sign this petition to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee.

3. If you live in the district of a House Judiciary Committee member, call his or her office and say that you’re a constituent and you want immediate hearings on H.Res. 799/333. (Click here to look up your rep and find out if he or she is on the committee.) You can also join a local Congressional District Impeachment Committee and organize activities to keep the pressure on your representative, with letters to the editor, calls to local radio talk shows, and pointed questions at every community forum attended by your representative.

4. If your representative is not on the House Judiciary Committee, call and ask him or her to co-sponsor H.Res. 799/333. (Click here to find his or her office phone numbers.) If your rep is one of the 22 who have already co-sponsored H.Res. 333, call and offer your thanks and urge him or her push for immediate hearings on H.Res. 799/333 in the House Judiciary Committee.

5. Start a media campaign, including op-ed articles on impeaching Cheney, letters-to-the-editor about the Kucinich resolution, and informational picketing in front of the offices of local media. Click here to find a media activism kit.

This is the 4min 33sec audio clip of the “stop making the bed” from last blog post. In playwriting, there’s a phrase “coming off the page” to describe the translation process from the written word to the stage.

I think the audio comes off the page on this piece better than most I’ve done. For my friends who cannot for a variety of reasons, listen, thank you especially for reading , and as you do, just imagine me and Cheney on stage, with his teeth baring grimace nose to nose with mine. ONLY: I am NOT acting.

Thank you for reading and for listening.

Stop Making the Bed

Roxanne R. Amico
Tuesday, 6 November, 2007

Dennis Kucinich’s resolutions of impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney, are recognition that Cheney lied about reasons for war on Iraq and is lying with regard to Iran. I write with an urgency I’ve kept at bay for many years; an urgency that’s not my learned way of being an activist. In 44 years, more than twenty have been under the occupation of radical forces I underestimated, against which I fought in a variety of ways including self-congratulatory-lifestyle change, community organizing, anti-war activism, prisoners’ rights, and electoral politics… Like all activists, I felt an early emphatic sense of justice. I learned from mentors to temper the urgency for the long haul; internalized the metaphor that great cathedrals are built over several generations, and many—(even Michelangelo)– knew they wouldn’t live to see completion of “the big picture”; saw change take a long time—and that in many contexts, it should, because I knew that even on a personal level, change challenges, so it takes time to integrate new ideas, ways of living, and experiences… This is what I’ve learned about pacing change…

What I also learned: Things change—and what I learned over these decades is no longer appropriate for these times. –You know, the times my nieces and your nieces and nephews and children and grandchildren and their offspring, and all nonhuman communities on which their lives depend, are facing… Urgent times.

In 1983, the movie “The Day After” was made to illustrate the urgency of acting against nuclear war. Lately I find myself appealing to my friends’ and families’ sense of the danger ahead, with little hope of being heard above the lockstep of routines, unable to act with passion, unless some immediate loss visits. Even when I get calls for immediate action, unless it’s from a friend–I delete or ignore. Crude— maybe even rude by some interpretations— but true. I have a job that demands my full-bodied-fitness and attention. On EVERY given day, I live at a pace of emergency already. EVEN my down time is imperative: I’m an artist living in a culture that devalues the work of artists and we sell our time to maintain the status quo, rather than being paid for shaping a better culture. Another way to put this is that when I am not working for food, I am working for love. THAT is a reason I am an activist–To change the culture that generates this unnatural, non-stop fight to live a life of choice.

Which is exactly the urgent matter of this writing. The US government is occupied by insane criminals who’ve tortured and terrorized both the people and the land of this continent and other lands. They stupidly presume themselves to be above the law, endowed with the right to destroy the US constitution and International Declarations of Human Rights. We must use every tool within our disposal to resist them. If we do not stop them, they will kill many more– with their lies, aggression, profiteering, spying, kidnapping, and unlawful arrests– as journalist Naomi Wolf elucidates in a recent Huffington Post article.

Two points here: First, what the US government does to the US populace and to the land does not stay in the US land, air, and water, just as what they do to other people and other lands does not protect the people or land here from others’ expectation that WE are accountable. I think of so many who’ve cited Germany, during World War Two, when others eventually attacked after having enough of Hitler’s brutalities. Likewise, there are those who will not tolerate the destruction caused while too many US citizens hang on to delusions of non-urgency. Second, being an activist means knowing that impeachment is a minute piece of what’s needed to repair the damage the US has done here and abroad. I’ve all but given up on the elections, after the last two stolen and now that democratic processes have been corporatocracized. I know that my nieces will not have clean water, clean air, nor safe food either in terms of supply or land to grow it. It is inconsolable that in the lifetime of the youngest child, there are many living beings that are being killed in the time it takes to write this sentence. But being participant in life also means knowing that some small things can add up to some positive measure and the impeachment of these small-minded bullies will be a piece towards convicting them for the criminals they are.

Even if the earth and all inhabitants were not in distress, life is short. Once asked in an interview why I do art, I learned that the question is akin to “why am I alive?” As witness to these crimes against communities of life of every biosphere, my art and activism are my tool, weapon, language—indeed my life—to serve others to share their stories. I urge all who love this world to act now to take some radically different action in acknowledgment of the dangers ahead.

In an opening scene of the film “The Day After”, a woman’s family tries to stop her making the bed. A “normal” task, except that it’s the day upon which they awakened to the news that a nuclear bomb was detonated. Unable to face the implications of this state terrorism, she loses her mind and continues doing what worked on any other day. It’s time to stop making the bed. To paraphrase the Australian rock band “Midnight Oil”: “…[no] sleeping while the beds are burning… The time has come…” I emphatically support the impeachment of the entire Bush Administration, after which they should be tried for treason and all crimes.

After Downing Street

If anybody other than Kucinich had won the DFA poll, the media would have covered it, as the media has always done in the past.

Kucinich takes Iowa, New Hampshire and 45 other states in national grassroots Democrat poll

Washington, DC – Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich topped all other Democratic Presidential candidates in 47 of 50 states in the first nationwide poll of grassroots, activist Democrats, according to final figures released today by the Howard Dean-founded Democracy for America (DFA) political action committee.

In Iowa and New Hampshire, widely regarded as bellwether states because of their early positions in balloting, Kucinich scored stunning victories over former Senator John Edwards, Senator Barack Obama, and touted front-runner Senator Hillary Clinton.

In Iowa, Kucinich captured more than 24% of the vote from among nine Democratic candidates, including write-in Al Gore, coming in ahead of second-place Edwards and third-place Obama. In New Hampshire, the first in the nation primary election, Kucinich scored almost 34% of the votes, more than Edwards and Obama combined.

In the only three states in which he was not the top vote-getter – South Carolina, Illinois, and Washington – Kucinich came in a close second.

“Democrats who really care about the future of our Party and our nation sent a very strong message with their votes in the DFA poll,” said Kucinich, whose national and state-by-state poll results have been moving upward recently. “They saw through the media hype, the millions of advertising dollars, the inconsistencies in other candidates’ positions, and they voted their hearts and their consciences.”

“Democrats are telling the candidates and the nation that they want the war in Iraq ended now. They want to stop the insanity that is leading us into another war in Iran. They want real health care reform, and they want a candidate who is willing to challenge the Bush Administration’s Constitutional abuses to our civil liberties that are being condoned and advanced by the Democrat-controlled Congress,” Kucinich said. “The impeachment of Dick Cheney is a factor,” Kucinich said, “but this balloting began and ended before impeachment became a hot issue.”

In the final DFA polls results, Kucinich was the clear, national first-place finisher with almost 32% of the votes cast. Write-in candidate Gore, the former Vice President and recent Nobel Peace Prize recipient, was a distant second with about 25%. Edwards had about 15.6%, and Obama had about 13.8%. Clinton barely edged out New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, with both tallying barely above 4%.

The outcome of the DFA poll means that Kucinich will get a DFA-sponsored boost in the 47 states that he won. The DFA, founded by former Vermont Governor, 2004 Presidential candidate, and current Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Howard Dean and currently under the leadership of Dean’s brother James, has already sent emails to its members advising them of the results and promoting support for Kucinich.

“Democrats are supporting the core issues that they believe in and supporting the only candidate who is willing to give voice to their beliefs,” Kucinich said. “The Democratic wing of the Democratic Party has spoken, and I am grateful for their support, and honored to have won their endorsement.”

Washington, DC – In a strongly bipartisan vote today, the House of Representatives voted to refer a resolution to impeach Vice President Cheney to the House Judiciary Committee.

Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter issued the following statement after the vote:

“It is the duty of the Vice President to faithfully execute the laws of the United States of America and to defend the Constitution. There is growing evidence that the Executive Branch has ignored some of our laws and has attempted to bend the Constitution to its will.

“Members of both parties decided that this issue is too important to ignore. I voted with my Republican and Democratic colleagues to investigate the Vice President’s actions in office.”

Dennis Kucinich for President

Hello Everyone!

As you know, it has been an exciting week! Yesterday marked history in the making as Dennis Kucinich not only took an astounding 1st place victory in the Democracy for America poll, but also presented House Resolution 799, the Articles for the Impeachment of Vice-President Richard B. Cheney. H.R. 799 rocked through Rep. Hoyer’s (D-MD) call to “Table” the legislation, a move that could have stalled consideration on Impeachment considerably.

With nearly 50,000 voters coming out to support Kucinich in the DFA poll and the thousands who called their Representatives in Congress to keep Impeachment from being “Tabled,” we have created history.

In a celebration of these huge events, Dennis has decided to host a Town Hall Forum, Question and Answer-style, in Manchester, New Hampshire this Saturday, Nov. 10th. We are highly encouraging everyone in the New England area to come out and show some serious support for Dennis. The event will be held at the Radisson Hotel, 700 Elm Street, in Salon A (the largest room in the Radisson.) This event with Dennis starts at 10:00am and it will go on until 11:00am. Again, we highly encourage everyone in the New England area to come out and show your support. Bring your Kucinich T-Shirts, Signs, and as many friends as you can pack in a car!

Following this event, Dennis will host the Grand Opening of the first Kucinich-Manchester Office on 786 Elm Street (One block from the Radisson) at 12:00pm. This is another great place to bring your Kucinich Signs and T-Shirts after the meeting and come show Manchester how many people really support Dennis Kucinich.

Finally, Dennis will be heading to Concord to host a TWO-hour Town Hall Meeting at the New Hampshire Technical Institute’s Auditorium (31 College Drive) at 3:00pm. This Forum is also Open to the Public and totally free.

With your support, Dennis can keep this momentum moving. If you support the values of Dennis Kucinich and you would like to actually meet him in person, this is an event you can’t miss. Show Dennis your support by coming out to Manchester this weekend.

Where: 700 Elm Street, Radisson Hotel – Manchester, NH
When: 10:00am – 11:00am
Why: To Meet Dennis Kucinich!

Where Else: 768 Elm Street, Grand Opening Kucinich Campaign Office – Manchester, NH
When: 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Why: To Show Manchester How Many Really Support Dennis Kucinich!

Where: 31 College Drive, New Hampshire Technical Institute – Concord, NH
When: 3:00pm – 5:00pm
Why: Two Hours. Ask Dennis Any Questions You Have.

Come out and show your support!

From the entire Staff at the Kucinich Campaign, Thank You for all you have done and all you will do. You are making the difference.

See you there!
