Excerpt, editing by 

Carolyn Bennett

“We need a new era of bold leadership … that will stand against perpetual war; stand up for peace and economic justice,” Dennis Kucinich declares.

We need leadership that is unafraid of bucking Party leadership and speaking out for what is right and just.

“We need bold leaders who are fearless in their determination to make our nation and our world a more peaceful place for all people — regardless of their race, gender, background or beliefs.” 

together

We must come together to prevent repeating mistakes of the past, prevent the destruction of war.

We must present and advance leaders who advance peace and justice.

Hon. Dennis Kucinich concluding his tenure as
