Outside the orthodoxy of the two-party US, Kucinich retained his congressional seat.
VICTORY: We won, 53% - 44% Dear Friends, Your support made it possible for our campaign to have a strong media presence in the closing days of the election, so that we were able to withstand the powerful anti-incumbent tide which swept across the nation. Five incumbent House Democrats lost in Ohio. The entire state ticket went down. Democrats lost control of the Ohio House. Yet, in the midst of this electoral disaster we survived because of your constant help. People forget that when I was first elected to the House in 1996, I won a seat which was held by a Republican incumbent. I was able to strengthen the district through constituent service and focusing in Washington on economic issues which related to the practical aspirations of people: Jobs, trade, health care, education, Social Security, pensions, as well as environment and peace. I have spent the past decade and more challenging the Democratic Party as well as the Republican Party on the central tenets of an economic orthodoxy which tolerates massive unemployment, disinvestment, acceleration of the wealth of America upwards and endless war. You have made it possible for me to be your voice on many issues of importance to the people of the 10th District and United States. I begin each day with grateful heart and thoughts of those who make my life and my work possible, people like you. Thank you and much love, Dennis _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
