Midge Miller of Madison is a former Wisconsin state legislator who played a critical role in organizing the insurgent anti-war presidential campaign of former U.S. Sen. Eugene McCarthy in 1968. She has been active in every presidential campaign since then.

Many people measure candidates by their campaign war chests, their oratory or their political allies. In the long run, there are three important things we as voters need to know about a candidate. Are their policies right for the country? Do they have the integrity to really pursue those policies, if elected? Are their policies consistent with what they have been doing?

After watching and reading about the Democratic candidates for president, I find that Congressman Dennis Kucinich has the best grasp of the situation we are facing as a nation. For almost every issue I care about, Kucinich has a well-thought-out policy that is consistent with the courageous work he has been doing for years as co-chairman of the Progressive Caucus in Congress.

<snip>
Whether it is health care, the environment, the economy, international relations or war and peace, Kucinich will govern on behalf of the people, not the special interests.

The primary season is the time to select the best possible candidate. I welcome the opportunity to support Dennis Kucinich and to do what I can to help him become our next president. I urge your readers to study the candidates and issues carefully. Visit the Web site www.kucinich.us. I am sure that many will agree that Kucinich has the record, the determination and the vision to guide us.

1. Might as well post this here.

Having attended the Kucinich meeting last week at the Seattle Labor Temple, I received notice of the following web-site: http://www.kucinich-washington.org/tiki-page.php?pageName=Home I'm also on their new listserve.

The media seems to be trying hard to present him as some sort of a "fringe" candidate, but I don't sense that at all. Wherever I go, people spot my Kucinich T-shirt or button and respond with great enthusiasm. At last week's King County Labor Council Labor Day picnic, there were quite a few others sporting Kucinich regalia.

That 12" Elite Force Aviator ( http://www.kbtoys.com/genProduct.html/PID/2431939/ctid/17/place/aguc?_ts=n&ls=collect&_e=3f5c8&_v=3F5C863FbRoUa3033276BCBF&_ts=y ) MUST be put back in the toybox next year, but DON'T lower the bar unnecessarily ... if your heart and mind is for Dennis, GO ALL OUT FOR HIM.
