Kucinich Presidential Campaign Unveils First TV Spot

[helderheid]

CLEVELAND, June 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Kucinich Presidential campaign has unveiled its first television commercial -- "No more blood for oil" -- and is previewing it with supporters and friends on the campaign website http://kucinich.us/node/4580/play and on popular Internet sites, including YouTube and MySpace.

Using the all-too-familiar sights and sounds of a gas pump ringing up the higher and higher cost of filling up the tank, the pump then begins registering even higher and more disturbing numbers: dead and wounded U.S. soldiers; innocent Iraqis killed, wounded, and displaced; the staggering profits of oil companies; potential profits from "stealing Iraq's oil;" and U.S. tax dollars spent on the war in Iraq. It concludes with the message: "No more blood for oil."

Kucinich, D-OH, is the only Presidential candidate who voted against the original war authorization in 2002 and every war-funding appropriation since. He recently delivered an unprecedented hour-long speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives documenting that an Administration "benchmark" buried deep in the recent war supplemental appropriation would actually allow international oil companies to privatize Iraq's oil industry and gain control of upwards of 80% of Iraq production and reserves.

"Congressman Kucinich has been absolutely right about this since the beginning, and only recently have some of the other Democratic candidates recognized that they were wrong in authorizing and continuing to fund this war for all these years," the campaign said in a statement. "They had a chance to stop it before it began, and they could have stopped funding it anytime since. They didn't."

5. That he's regarded by many as "unelectable" is a condemnation of our nation's moral integrity.

Our body politic is cancer-ridden. More people would probably vote for Paris Hilton than Dennis Kucinich. Almost nothing shows that we'll deserve the misery we get more than that. That's one detestable legacy for our children.

[helderheid]

8. I totally agree.

[DemBones DemBones]

11. You said it! And especially that he's seen as

"unelectable" at DU. Why are so many willing to support the corporate-supported candidates?

January 2009: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Unless we elect Kucinich.

14. Our thanks for your oh-so valuable input

Now go crash a Hillary thread

[libnnc]

16. Why can't you act like a decent person?

This isn't an Obama thread. Why must you trash every other candidate?

Don't you have a cock fight to bet on tonight?

[eridani]

17. By backing him in the primary--

--you promote the agenda he is standing up for.
