An inspirational quote on war and peace from Dennis Kucinich
“We make war with such certainty, yet are befuddled how to create peace. This paradox requires reflection, if we are to survive. Making and endorsing war demands a secret love of death, a fearful desire to embrace annihilation. Creating peace requires the mirror of compassion, putting ourselves in the other person’s place, in all their suffering, in all their hopes, and to act from our heart’s capacity for love, not fear."

Have YOU donated to the December 15 money bomb yet?

I noticed that Dennis has garnered more $$$ from DU via ActBlue than Hilary or Obama- even Mike Gravel has gotten more from DU'ers than the "top two" (via ActBlue anyway).

You can donate here:
http://www.december152007.com /
http://dennis4president.com
http://www.actblue.com/page/du-presidential

As I participate in this December 15 money-bomb, I kind of feel like an "insurgent"...

and if the combination of the words "bomb" and "insurgents" attracts the attention of Agent Mike or any other NSA traitor-bastards, I have just one thing to say:

You're either for the Constitution or against the Constitution, which is it?

(I was going to say "fuck you", but then my Christmas spirit got the better of me) :-)

3. My donation went off this morning.
I put my talk, my walk, my money, and my vote where my conscience is.

4. Sites are busy
I was told to come back later. I take that as a good sign that this will be successful.

11. Kooch is running on a shoestring
...that kind of issue is common when there's a lot of activity on a budget website.

I'm glad of the problem. Just like I was when he had too many callers for his conference call a while back. Shows that there's a lot of support that (surprise, surprise) the MSM isn't telling us about. If the grass roots can stick with it, we have a chance to at least move the party back to the Left. Maybe even President Kooch!
