Kucinich Calls for Federal Oversight to Quell Market Volatility
Focusing on largely unregulated hedge funds and the scandalous practices of unscrupulous sub-prime lenders, Ohio Congressman and Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich told a San Francisco audience that the Securities and Exchange Commissions and the Federal Reserve must step up their oversight responsibilities. In a major economic policy address at the Commonwealth Club yesterday (Friday, August 10), Kucinich also warned that the "debt-financed capitalism" is reaching an economically dangerous level and could lead to a recession.

Survey of Public Attitudes Makes Kucinich the Frontrunner

CLEVELAND, OH – In the political equivalent of a “blind taste test” taken by more than 67,000 participants, an independent website surveying public attitudes on various issues is reporting that Ohio Congressman and Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is the first choice of a phenomenal 53% of respondents.No other candidate, Democrat or Republican, even reaches double digits.The website (http://www.dehp.net/candidate/ ) has been asking respondents to express and rank their opinions on 25 different issues – the war in Iraq, health care, the environment, Patriot Act, etc. -- that have been raised and debated among the Presidential candidates in both parties. Those taking the survey vote only on the issues, not for or against any individual candidate. The 67,000-plus responses were then correlated with the positions of all of the candidates as reported on www.2decide.com/table.htm The results are here: http://www.dehp.net/candidate/stats.php
As of this morning (August 5, 2007), more than 35,600 respondents were “in sync” with Kucinich on the issues. Democratic front-runner Senator Hillary Clinton was the first-place choice of only about 2,400 respondents (3.6%). Other leading candidates fared even worse: Senator Barack Obama (3%), and former Senator John Edwards (1.3%)
“When people vote exclusively on the issues that are important to them, without being influenced by name recognition, celebrity, or millions of dollars in advertising, Congressman Kucinich wins in a landslide,” his campaign said today.

CHOOSE PEACE House Party Kits Available!
Join me and others in hosting a CHOOSE PEACE house party this September :-) Share this message with others and spread the word of peace. Many thanks!
September 11 represents a choice point for us as human beings. We can continue to choose violence, or, like Gandhi on Sept. 11, 1906, we can choose strategies of peaceful conflict transformation.
CHOOSE PEACE is a series of events sponsored by New Yorkers for a Department of Peace (NYDOP) honoring the 11 Days of Global Unity from Sept. 11-21. The CHOOSE PEACE campaign will raise awareness about the DOP legislation and raise funds for the Peace Alliance. NYDOP hopes that activists across the country and the world will organize CHOOSE PEACE house parties.
CHOOSE PEACE Film Festival House Parties entail:
* Hosting a house party
* Watching a film about peace, nonviolence and/or social change
* Facilitating a discussion
* Disseminating information about the Peace Alliance
* Asking guests to invest financially in the Peace Alliance
* Writing postcards to the Republican and Democratic National Committees asking them to make the DOP part of their party platforms.
