“The War in Iraq is Increasingly Unpopular and Must End”

Kucinich paints a very bright future for activism.

Fortunately, we have a democracy and on major questions, in the end, popular will determines policy. But it takes patience and persistence on the part of the activists and organizers.
I can tell you what the country will look like when those citizen activists have succeeded: Popular opposition will come from all walks of life: veterans, families of active duty servicemen and women, unions, religious groups. Conventional labels will not apply. Conservatives, libertarians, liberals and progressives will be calling for bringing the troops home. By the way, that is an important point: citizen organizers should not feel constrained by the conventional political labels. Is opposing the war a liberal or a conservative position? I couldn't say.
Let me tell you about my own efforts: I have been working with a fellow Democrat, Neil Abercrombie, and two of the most conservative Republicans in the Congress, Walter Jones and Ron Paul, to introduce the first bipartisan bill to begin the end of the war in Iraq. That bill is H.J. Res. 55, and I really believe that building support around it should be a legislative goal of the antiwar movement.

It is time for Dems and Prepugs to realize that they have to stand up against this war, stand up against this regime of liars and incompetents. Powell is slowly coming out with words of wisdom - I just wish he had more balls when he was Secy of State. Others must follow - for the good of our nation, citizens and Mother Earth.

See you in DC.
