Letter to Voters



Dear Voter,

Roughly 2/3 of Americans cannot name a single Democratic presidential
candidate.  The general election is, after all, more than 13 months
away.  But now is the time many are starting to look for a Democratic
candidate who is most strongly opposed to the disastrous policies of
George W. Bush. If that describes you or someone you know, please pass
along the following information:

Only one candidate for President voted against the misnamed "Patriot
Act."

Only one candidate plans to introduce legislation in Congress to
repeal the "Patriot Act."

Only one candidate has declared without hesitation that he will vote
against the Bush request for $87 billion in additional funds to
continue the quagmire in Iraq.

Only one candidate has submitted a bill to Congress that would
establish genuinely universal health coverage -- nonprofit national
health insurance for all.

Only one candidate will withdraw from corporate trade deals like NAFTA
and the WTO, and replace them with fair trade agreements that include
labor and environmental protections.

Only one candidate has a plan to cut the bloated military budget by
15% ($60 billion annually) and invest those funds in universal child
care.

Only one candidate sued George Bush to stop him from going to war in
Iraq without a Congressional Declaration of War.

Only one candidate led opposition in Congress to the War in Iraq.

Only one candidate has a plan to repeal Bush's tax cuts for the
wealthiest Americans and invest that money in a plan for universal
public education, age 3-college.

Only one candidate has pledged to break up corporate monopolies in
agriculture, energy, media and other sectors that are strangling
farmers, the environment and the public.

Only one candidate has pledged to not only sign the Kyoto Treaty on
global warming, but to lead our country to 20% renewable energy by the
year 2010.

Only one candidate risked his political career by standing up to banks
and a private utility company to save public electric power.


Only one candidate is doing all of this and taking a stand against
NAFTA and the WTO.


Only one candidate has spoken out against the takeover of our water
supply by large multinational corporations.

Only one candidate has sponsored legislation establishing a
cabinet-level Department of Peace to participate in policy discussions
alongside representatives of the Departments of State and Defense.

Only one candidate has a 98% lifetime pro-union voting record -- 
highest of all candidates as ranked by the AFL-CIO.

Only one candidate is calling for "living wages," not just minimum
wages.

Only one candidate has a plan to put Americans back to work with major
investment programs to rebuild schools, roads, bridges, ports, sewage,
water and environmental systems.

Only one candidate stands firmly against the privatization of Social
Security and for returning the Social Security retirement age to 65.

Only one candidate has introduced legislation to repeal the Federal
death penalty.

Only one candidate has been endorsed by Dr. Patch Adams, Willie
Nelson, Studs Terkel, Ed Asner, Arun Gandhi, and Granny D (who walked
across the country for campaign reform at age 89) and a host of other
progressive leaders.

One and only one candidate has taken all of the above positions.



It may not be who you think it is.

You may not have heard much about him.



His name is Dennis Kucinich, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive
Caucus.

He is not taking corporate money, so he needs help from individuals
who believe that the issues above are important to the future of this
nation and the world
