Little publicized Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, a congressman from Ohio is perhaps the most eloquent and visionary spokesman the country has seen since the likes of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

Kucinich’s campaign is experiencing widespread grass-roots support, since so many who hear his message recognize that he lends a desperately needed soul to today’s political field. Dennis Kucinich speaks from the heart on education and the elderly, supports an end to all war and values such fleeting national treasures as Social Security, family farms and decent paying jobs.

The Bush administration wants us to live in fear of terrorism so that we will blindly trust their ruthless political agenda. Let us not underestimate the downward spiral our beloved country is now embarked upon, under the rule of wealthy corporate and political co-conspirators.

Kucinich does not accept campaign contributions from corporate donors who will later want laws bent and forged in their favor. His success will depend on the people he truly cares about – you and me. Every caring person among us needs to wake up and vote.

As one Kucinich supporter put it, we are facing a monumental turning point in global history. When our grandchildren ask us about our role in deciding whether the future holds peace or unprecedented wars, will we sadly say, “I’m sorry,” or will we be able to say “You’re welcome.”
