Kucinich Withdraws from Campaign

My preferred Presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich, announced the end on his Presidential campaign today. I was not really surprised after his being totally shut out of corporate media coverage - no debates and no news. There is no way to even influence the discussion if there is a total shutout on the message. That silencing is yet another manifestation of the loss of our democracy as it was backed by both a state Supreme Court (Nevada), and the FCC.

However, Kucinich is facing another attack. In an email two days before announcing his decision he requested help with funding his Congressional race. He reported that a massive influx of corporate funds into the race in his district was threatening to remove him from Congress as well.

The combination of the two issues sealed his decision to withdraw from the Presidential campaign. Under the circumstances, I sadly agree. I also believe that it is critical to not lose his voice and leadership from the United States Congress. If you have a few bucks to spare, or can offer some other form of support, I encourage you to contribute to his Congressional campaign at http://kucinich.us/.

If you already contributed to his Presidential campaign, you may still contribute to his Congressional campaign. The monies are separate.

Keep up the fight Dennis!
