[Duchess Note: Its not just Bushit, but his whole regime and that includes the two major masterminds behind it all ... Cheney & Rove. Remember, Nixon had Kissenger and that was a bad combo as well. Finally, Cheney got his "training" during the Nixon era.]

Kucinich on 'This Week with George Stephanopoulos' Sunday, August 12th
http://www2.kucinich.us/node/4881
Following his rousing and widely acclaimed performance at the AFL-CIO Presidential Forum in Chicago this week, Congressman and Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich will be in the national spotlight again Sunday morning (August 12) on ABC-TV's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." Kucinich drew rave reviews for his straightforward and "gutsy" answers at the Tuesday night event in Chicago from commentators and analysts as politically diverse as Willie Brown, former Mayor of San Francisco, and Pat Buchanan, conservative political icon. By most news accounts, Kucinich, the only card-carrying union member among Democratic Presidential hopefuls, drew the loudest and most enthusiastic responses from the 17,000 union members at Soldier Field. Based, in part, on Tuesday's nationally televised "debate," there are indications that Kucinich may be poised to move ahead of New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson into fourth place among Democratic contenders, behind front-runners John Edwards, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton.

THIS SEPTEMBER – CHOOSE PEACE



New Yorkers for a Department of Peace (NYDOP) announces the launch of CHOOSE PEACE, its second annual September peacebuilding event, and the companion website.

CHOOSE PEACE at www.nyc-dop.com/choose/

CHOOSE PEACE is a series of events coordinated by NYDOP and hosted around the world, honoring the 11 days of Global Unity from September 11-21, 2007. The CHOOSE PEACE campaign will raise awareness and funds for the Department of Peace campaign.

CHOOSE PEACE will consist of a musical event in New York City the weekend before September 11, 2007 that will launch 11 days of a Global Peace Film Fest. Building on last year’s Gandhi film festival, NYDOP asks participants around the world to organize house parties between September 11 and 21, the International Day of Peace, by watching a film of their choice, hosting discussions, raising awareness and funds for the Department of Peace campaign and engaging in postcard writing to key decision-makers in Washington, DC.

Visit www.nyc-dop.com/choose to find out more about CHOOSE PEACE, to attend or organize events, to obtain postcards, to support the event and to get more involved. Check back often as the website will be updated with new information regularly. NYDOP appreciates the time and effort you spent organizing a Gandhi film screening last year and hopes you will consider participating this year in CHOOSE PEACE. House Party Kits will be available (for a requested $25 donation) to assist you in having a successful event.
