From: "David Crockett Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: AP 30May03 article on Dennis Kucinich in California Date: Saturday, May 31, 2003 7:22 AM http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi? file=/news/archive/2003/05/30/national1420EDT0590.DTL Democratic candidate draws support from peace activists, New Age gurus MALIA RULON, Associated Press Writer Friday, May 30, 2003 --------------------------------------------------------------------- (05-30) 11:20 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- Dennis Kucinich, a champion for down-to-earth issues such as blue- collar jobs and the beleaguered steel industry, is showing his spiritual side as he courts supporters in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. Peace activists, New Age gurus and people who practice alternative religions are among Kucinich's donors -- many of them attracted to the Ohio congressman's stand on less-than-mainstream issues, such as a call for a Cabinet-level Department of Peace and his support for medical marijuana. "I have a holistic view of the world," Kucinich explains. "I see the world as interconnected and interdependent and that leaves no room for war." Kucinich's legislation to create a Department of Peace and ban the use of weapons in space hasn't won widespread support in Congress, where a majority in the House and Senate supported President Bush's decision to wage war against Iraq. But those proposals are a cornerstone of his campaign, often mentioned in his speeches on the need to transform society and make nonviolence an organizing principle. "We need a message of peace. It's not about backing down. It's not about rhetoric. It's about a way of life," said Chris Griscom, a spiritual adviser who's been a close friend and supporter of Kucinich for nearly 24 years. Kucinich took his message to Santa Cruz, Calif., this week, headlining a rally called "Imagine America" with lifestyle guru Marianne Williamson and healthy living author John Robbins, a political donor who, like Kucinich, is a strict vegetarian. Robbins also is national co-chair of Kucinich's campaign. Williamson, a close friend and political donor of Kucinich's, founded the Global Renaissance Alliance, which teaches peace activists and others how to lobby their local congressmen to support Kucinich's Department of Peace bill. Other supporters include Carol Rosin, a peace activist who founded the Institute for Cooperation in Space. Rosin hosted Kucinich at a home in Malibu, Calif., last year where he talked about his vision for a world without weapons in space and especially without war. At a peace conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia, last year, Kucinich was more specific about his beliefs. He spoke about how the Eagle Nebula, a star-forming region that is 7,000 light years from Earth, reminds him of the relationship between stardust and the human spirit. "The energy of the stars becomes us. We become the energy of the stars. Stardust and spirit unite and we begin: One with the universe," Kucinich said. Several of his speeches, such as "Spirit and Stardust," "A Prayer for America" and "The Soul of the Worker," have been posted on dozens of Web sites created by his supporters. Rosin sells videotapes of Kucinich's Malibu speech on her Web site for $40. The money benefits Rosin's space institute, which in turn supports Kucinich's peace-related efforts. Kucinich said Rosin is one of many campaign backers, a reflection of the fact that the popularity of his candidacy isn't limited to mainstream politics. "My campaign appeals to labor, to machinists, to auto workers, and it appeals to feminists. It appeals to the dreamers and to those who have a vision of a new America, and it appeals to those who believe in the real potential of this country," Kucinich said. Kucinich, a Roman Catholic, also is close friends with actress Shirley MacLaine, who is the godmother of his daughter. It was MacLaine who first introduced Kucinich to Griscom, whom MacLaine wrote about in her best-selling book, "Dancing in the Light." Griscom founded The Light Institute and Nizhoni School For Global Consciousness, both located in Galisteo, N.M., to teach people how to connect with their inner self, partially by helping them to remember their past lives. Kucinich donated $3,000 in speaking fees earned last year to Griscom's school, campaign finance reports showed. "He's a visionary and a statesman, and I am a visionary, so we've always gotten along," Griscom said. Kucinich, who is one of nine candidates competing for the Democratic nomination, has said he will decide in June whether or not to remain in the race. "The response that I get keeps getting more and more powerful," Kucinich said during an interview this week. "The fact that I write about and talk about themes that have a spiritual connection is, I think, an important part of that," he said. "People want someone who understands and has a higher concept of where our country is going." --------------------------------------------------------------------- On the Net: www.lightinstitute.com/ www.renaissancealliance.org/ www.peaceinspace.com/index.shtml www.kucinich.us --------end article "One person can make a difference" -- Dennis Kucinich http://Kucinich.us To subscribe to this group, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --end post from http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kucinich4President fwd From: "David Crockett Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: "Dennis Kucinich came to Fresno and renewed our hope."

Goodsister ****** http://sf.indymedia.org/news/2003/05/1614917.php Dennis Kucinich visits Fresno by Mike Rhodes Thursday May 29, 2003 at 07:21 PM [EMAIL PROTECTED] KUCINICH SPEAKS IN FRESNO By Mike Rhodes May 27, 2003 Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich came to Fresno today with a message of peace. Kucinich, who is speaking throughout Northern California this week, told the enthusiastic crowd of over 600 at the CSU-Fresno satellite student union what they wanted to hear. There is a Democratic candidate that supports health care for all, nuclear disarmament, and an economic policy that would put people before profits. He would take money from the defense budget and re-direct that money for education, health care, and other programs that will meet peoples needs. "As a candidate for President, I offer a different vision for America, one which separates me from the other candidates. I am the only candidate for President who will take this country away from fear and war and tax giveaways, and use America's peace dividend for guaranteed health care for all, ending health care for profit. I am the only candidate who will stop the privatization of social security and bring the retirement age back to 65. As President, I will cancel NAFTA and the WTO, restore our manufacturing jobs, save our family farms, create full employment programs, create new jobs by rebuilding our cities and schools. As President, I will repeal the Patriot Act to regain for all Americans the sacred right of privacy in our homes, our libraries, our schools." Dennis Kucinich was singing the song that progressives in this community wanted to hear. During the question and answer period he was asked by Jeff Eisinger, who is on the Fresno County Green Party County Council, if he would consider running as a Green. Jeff suggested that Kucinich's populist politics were to the left of the party leadership and that he sounded more like a Green. Kucinich said that he thought of himself as "a Green Democrat." He said that he believes his message will resonate with voters and that people who never bothered to vote before will be given a clear choice when he runs against Bush, or whoever the Republican's run for president. Chris Schneider, director of Central California Legal Services, asked what Kucinich would do about the chronic double digit unemployment in the Central Valley. "On the West Side of this Valley unemployment is 30-40%," Chris told him. Kucinich said that he would create a work program similar to Roosevelt's WPA during the 1930's. He said that he would not give tax breaks to the wealthy and would re-direct money from the military to projects that would help to rebuild this country and meet people's needs. Dennis Kucinich came to Fresno and renewed our hope. He spoke about the urgency for peace and re-focusing national priorities. It was a message that the audience was hungry to hear. Oddly enough, or perhaps not so strange, the corporate media did not spend a lot of time covering the Kucinich campaign stop in Fresno. In fact, The Fresno Bee (this areas only daily newspaper) did not even mention the event. This makes the coverage given by alternative media (like this story on Indymedia) all the more important. Somehow, the message of peace, economic and social justice must get out.
