Presidential Auction 2004

And speaking of Social Security, this from a Kucinich for President email forwarded to me by my friend in Honolulu, Jody (whom I asked yesterday on YWA to build another room so I can move in after reading of Kucinich's results in the Hawaii primary)...

KUCINICH DEMANDS GREENSPAN RESIGNATION Congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich today renewed his demand that Alan Greenspan resign after the Federal Reserve Chairman testified before the House Budget Committee advocating cutting Social Security benefits to deal with the deficit. Kucinich believes ordinary Americans and future generations should not have to carry the burden of tax cuts for the rich.

And, the rest of the email....

THANK YOU, HAWAII! The results from yesterday's primary are in, and Dennis placed 2nd in the Hawaii primary with 30% of the vote. This gives him 8 of Hawaii's 20 unpledged delegates, who will go to the national convention in Boston in July. In Maui, Dennis won with 50% of the vote. In other primaries yesterday, Dennis took 7% of the vote in Utah and 6% in Idaho.

I'm no Democrat. You know I want instant runoff elections. But, if you insist on having the two-party system, Kucinich is the man to put on the Demo ticket, not Kerry. With Kerry, you're choosing the one-party system.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
