Sean Penn: Believe in the Constitution? Vote Kucinich.

[BigBearJohn]

Actor Sean Penn endorsed dark horse Democratic presidential contender Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) in what was billed as a "major political address" given by the actor Friday in San Francisco.

Lambasting Democrats in Congress for their refusal to pursue the impeachment of President Bush, Vice President Cheney and other members of the current administration, Penn praised Kucinich for his "moral courage," according to an advance copy of the speech provided to RAW STORY.

"ur cowardly Democratically dominated House and Senate can barely find one voice willing to propose so much as an impeachment. That one voice of a true American," said the actor. "That one voice of Congressman Dennis Kucinich."

Penn went on to say that the former Cleveland mayor's record and vision outweighed "conventional wisdom" about Kucinich's long-shot chances of winning the presidency.

"I'm torn between the conventional wisdom of what we all keep being told is electability and the idealism that perhaps alone can live up to the challenges of our generation," said Penn. "Of the Democrats running for President, only Congressman Dennis Kucinich's candidacy is backed by a voting record of moral courage and a history of service to our country that has fully earned our support and our gratitude."

1. Even my friend that owns the local packie and is probably RW...

was very interested last night to hear about this. He doesn't like Penn or HRC ( :eyes: )
But he doesn't like any of the repubs either. Maybe he's a moderate? He's definitely
a businessman but a nice guy too (and we drive the same cars ;)) He promised me
he'd go to DK's website and read his plans. I think he will. He knows I'll ask about it! ;)

4. Worth repeating:

"Of the Democrats running for President, only Congressman Dennis Kucinich's candidacy is backed by a voting record of moral courage and a history of service to our country that has fully earned our support and our gratitude."

*Single Payer Universal HealthCare is not only possible, but cheaper.

*"For Profit" HealthCare is obscene

*Mandatory Health Insurance is NOT REALLY Universal HealthCare

*the Democratic Party and American taxpayers should NOT be forced to subsidize some of the richest CEOs in history by subsidizing the HealthCare Insurance Corps and HMOs.

*the USA SHOULD give the Imperial Palace (Green Zone) back to the Iraqis, close the permanent bases, expel all Corporate Consultants, withdraw ALL US Troops, and begin paying reparations NOW.

*redeploying some troops at some future date is a PRO-WAR position.

*that the "Oil Law Benchmark" supported by the Democratic Party is a War Crime

*we can have election accountability with "Paper Ballots publicly hand counted at the precinct".

*we CAN cut $Billions$ from the Defense Budget

*the RICHEST Corporations in history do NOT need $Billions$ in welfare subsidies

*NAFTA (Free Trade) has not been a good thing for Americans who have to work for a living


Dennis Kucinich is NOT afraid of losing large single source contributions (CEO).
He is free to speak for those Americans who must Work for a Living.

”Unlike other candidates, I am not funded by those corporate interests.
I owe them no loyalty, and they have no influence over me or my policies.” ---Dennis Kucinich
