Kucinich for President

Finally, some straight talk about the war from a member of congress. I hope Mr. Kucinich won't be the next one to get on a bad airplane. He's asking some good, hard questions. The same ones I've been wondering about.
You cannot separate war from the economy. You cannot separate war from America's future, from its role in the world and its ability to meet the needs of our own people here at home.
We need to ask the questions: Why does America have hundreds of billions to ruin the health and take the lives of innocent people in Iraq but no money to provide health care for all Americans?
Why would America spend hundreds of billions to retire Saddam Hussein, but no money to protect the retirement security of its own people?
Why does America have money to blow up bridges over the Euphrates River in Iraq, but no money to build up bridges over the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland?
But here's the best and ballsiest part:
War with Iraq is wrong. But if war is prosecuted further in Iraq, we must be prepared to advance the cause of peace in this country. We must be prepared to stand up, to speak out, to organize, to march, to demand an end to the war, or to demand an end to an administration which insists on war.
YES!!!! FINALLY! Someone in congress has brought up the subject of putting an early end to this administration! He's got my support! Now how do we do it? Anyone have any ideas?
