by rjones2818
Sat Jan 26th, 2008 at 09:34:07 AM EST

For those of you who've already donated to Dennis' congressional campaign, thanks!  We know he's one of the leading progressive voices in Congress, and it would be a shame to lose his voice in the House.

Universal Health Care: HR 676 vs the Big Three! w/poll

by rjones2818
Wed Jan 23rd, 2008 at 07:56:42 AM EST

The CBC/CNN debate in South Carolina is history.  One of the issues covered was that of Univeral Health Care.  The Big Three each have their plans, which are built upon some form of our current system of health insurance.  The other major plan is HR 676, The Conyers/Kucinich Plan for Medicare for All.

New Hampshire Recount: Already worth it! w/poll

by rjones2818
Thu Jan 17th, 2008 at 08:12:46 AM EST

The New Hampshire Primary recount started yesterday.  Paid for by the Dennis Kucinich campaign, the recount may or may not show a change of the winner of the event.  Even so, after one day, we've found enough out to be able to say that the recount is worth every penny!

Give the Candidates the MLK Test

by rjones2818
Wed Jan 16th, 2008 at 08:09:19 AM EST

On the day after his birthday celebration, and with the argument over his legacy going on amongst the big two Democratic candidates, perhaps it's a good time to look at how MLKjr might look upon the Democratic candidates.

Mon Jan 14th, 2008 at 07:27:34 PM EST

NBC/GE is holding a presidential debate in Nevada tomorrow, January 15, 2008!  They had invited four candidates to the event, as all of them had met NBC/GE's criteria for the event.  The four candidates were to be JE, HRC, BO and DK!

Etheridge: "I think that this ABC debate is nothing but an infomercial now."

by rjones2818
Sat Jan 5th, 2008 at 07:49:58 PM EST

Melissa gets it right.  We know that the big three and Richardson are all pretty much the same as far as substance goes.  The media, party and most of the blogosphere have what they want.

Kucinich: The other choice! w/poll

by rjones2818
Fri Jan 4th, 2008 at 11:36:26 PM EST

Thanks to Iowa, we have the big three having thinned the Democratic field somewhat.  Dodd and Biden, both honorable public servants, have dropped out.  Mike Gravel, my second choice, hangs in there though he's been thouroughly marginalized.  Bill Richardson will be on the stage tomorrow with the big three, and to be honest, he belongs with them.  From my perspective, electing HRC, BO, JE or BR will pretty much get us the same thing.  The differences among themselves are window dressing, and the differences they will bring to the White House are window dressing.  Yes, better than the Repugs, but window dressing none the less.
