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
Member of U.S. House of
Representatives
Head of Kucinich Action movement
Soon announcing “Champions of Change”

On the 11th anniversary of the start of the war on Afghanistan, Stop

by Christmas.”

against Afghanistan; joined by Paul Flynn MP, expelled recently from the
