My car has a Kucinich sticker on the left and a Paul sticker on the right. I have contributed money to both campaigns. Both are passionate defenders of the Constitution, though from different perspectives. Either would check the growing influence of the oligarchy of wealth and power that threatens our heritage of independence and liberty, but in different ways. Neither is the "perfect" candidate. Any perusal of my letters to Salon reveals that I have supported Ron Paul quest for office, but I would be just about as delighted to see Dennis Kucinich taking the oath of office January 2008. Both candidates challenge the vision of what is possible in government that the corporate-controlled mainstream media consistently promotes. More than anything else, these candidates transcend the fear-mongering and corporate shilling of the "top tier" to show us a future of truth, hope, and justice. The American public has never been better served than by these principled members of the House seeking the Presidency. I hope this nation has the wisdom to reject the "insider" brokers of wealth and power and embrace a new approach.
