The Last Of This Years Primaries & Caucas Was Held Yesterday In New Jersey & Montana. Two States That Many Candidates Always Bypass - But Not Dennis Kucinich.
The outcome of yesterday's primary is as follows ... New Jersey which had a huge Democratic Party get out the vote for "Unity" program (which helps Kerry)...gave Kucinich around 5% of the vote. Montana is another one of those often overlooked western states which has the potential for Progressive candidates and it appears as though Kucinch will get around 12% of the vote there. [Cheers and congratulations to ALL Kucitizens on doing such wonderful volunteer work for DJKs campaign. Next up ... Democratic Convention in Boston next month. Let's rock this party and instill some new blood.]

The same day, the White House announced plans for massive cuts in veterans' health care for 2006. Last January, Bush praised veterans during a visit to Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The same day, 164,000 veterans were told the White House was "immediately cutting off their access to the VA health care system."
