Description: At at noon press conference, on May 24, 2007, at the Cannon Terrace, on Capitol Hill, Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH), ripped into the Bush-Cheney Gang's legislative scheme to privatize the oil of Occupied Iraq. He charged: "Privatizing Iraq's oil is theft." He also called the Iraq Supplemental Bill: "a moment of truth for the Democratic Party." Rep. Kucinich explained how the proposed Bill, now pending before the U.S. Congress, via its benchmarks, will provide for the privatization of Iraqi oil. It requires the regime in Iraq to pass a law called, "The Hydrocarbon Act." If they refuse to do so over a billion dollars in reconstruction funds will be blocked by the Bush-Cheney administration, he claimed. This measure, which Rep. Kucinich characterized as "blackmail," would permit multinational oil corporations---many based in the U.S.--to exercise control over the Iraqi oil. The Democratic leadership in the Congress is giving its explicit support to this legislative device. Unless the scheme is stopped, Rep. Kucinich predicted, we will be looking at an Iraqi War "going on forever!" For more details, check out: http://www.bushagenda.net/article.php?id=369

Rickdeckard2020 ::: Favorites I hope he gets nominated, but somehow I have a sense the Dems are as corrupt as the GOP. The best would be to have Dennis J. Kucinich run and win the Presidency as an independant. I also think Jesse Ventura would be a really great independant President (if he were to run) Who would Jesse stand more chance of winning with? Ventura-Kucinich Ventura-Gore Ventura-Schwartzenegger ;) Ventura-Martin Sheen ;) Ventura-Oprah ;) 07-09-08 07:52:51 _____________________________________________________

linguy22 ::: Favorites Hi EsoterikGirl, I sent you a message, but I am not sure if you received it. Did you? I have turned off my messages and comments because of inappropriate messages and I am not sure yet how to just admit friends. I am working on it, but I am slow. 07-09-05 11:05:31 _____________________________________________________

erasured ::: Favorites I agree. That's why I support Kucinich-- he's for creating a WGA, a Works Green Administration. It will create jobs in the sustainable energy industry, as well as turn every house into a clean power plant. 07-08-28 11:41:59 _____________________________________________________
