Statement From Senator Gravel

Dennis Kucinich's Brave Voice

Dennis Kucinich deserves the praise and gratitude of all Americans who want our government to promote peace and justice at home and abroad. On all the issues, Dennis took brave, honest positions that reflect his great courage and decency.

While Clinton and Obama continued to support funding the Iraq war, Dennis said the war was simply WRONG and worked to cut off funds and remove our troops before more Americans died in vain.

While many of his fellow Democrats hope the Bush administration just quietly fades away, Dennis wants to impeach Dick Cheney right now and expose his high crimes before the American public.

We don't need more Congressional hearings on Cheney, the record is clear. It's time for the Democrats to follow Dennis' lead and make Cheney an ignominious example to future leaders who contemplate lying to the public to get us into another war.

While Clinton, Obama and Edwards claim their "morality" prevents them from supporting gay marriage, Dennis takes the truly moral position: All Americans deserve the right to marry regardless of their sexual orientation. Anything less than full marriage equality is immoral discrimination!

I congratulate Dennis for his brave campaign and I wish him great success in his congressional race. I will do anything I can to see him reelected because we need his stalwart voice challenging his fellow congressmen and fighting for the America that he and I both believe is possible.

I promise to stay in the presidential race and continue promoting our shared ideals so that one day our party and our government will be as committed to peace and justice as Dennis Kucinich.

I didn't read this until now, but I'm so happy to read your statement on Dennis, because I do like him too (although I had decided to vote for you even before he dropped out).

 

I'm also extremely happy that you'll stay in the race.  At this point, I don't want to vote for Obama or Clinton.  I like them both as people, but I don't think they have what it takes to be president.  Their hearts are in the right place, but they just don't understand America and its people like YOU do.

 

I'm looking forward to voting for you in November!

We love you, Mike!

Thank you for staying in the

Thank you for staying in the race. I'm outraged that you're not even be covered in poll coverage tonight. The media is talking about all five republicans, but on the dem side, just Clinton and Obama. You have this Californian's support. You're the only one in the presidential race that I can see that we would get real change from. I only wish the rest of this country could see it also and weren't so brainwashed by the media. Good luck Mr. Gravel.

Thanks!

I am so glad you are in the race because I want a choice in selecting a candidate and I honestly feel that with Obama and Clinton, there isn't one.  So again, thanks for staying in the race and thanks for standing up for your fellow Americans.  Our country definitely needs your voice and guidance.  All the best!
