From a man who really knows, eloquently, something about prayer: ". Let us work for a world where America can lead the way in banning weapons of mass destruction not only from our land and sea and sky but from outer space itself. That is the vision of HR 3616: A universe free of fear. Where we can look up at God's creation in the stars and imagine infinite wisdom, infinite peace, infinite possibilities, not infinite war, because we are taught that the kingdom will come on earth as it is in heaven."
Here's more of Dennis Kucinich telling it, someone actually speaking it, like it is:
Because we did not authorize the invasion of Iraq.
We did not authorize the invasion of Iran.
We did not authorize the invasion of North Korea.
We did not authorize the bombing of civilians in Afghanistan.
We did not authorize permanent detainees in Guantanamo Bay.
We did not authorize the withdrawal from the Geneva Convention.
We did not authorize military tribunals suspending due process and habeas corpus.
We did not authorize assassination squads.
We did not authorize the resurrection of COINTELPRO.
We did not authorize the repeal of the Bill of Rights.
We did not authorize the revocation of the Constitution.
We did not authorize national identity cards.
We did not authorize the eye of Big Brother to peer from cameras throughout our cities.
We did not authorize an eye for an eye.
Nor did we ask that the blood of innocent people, who perished on September 11, be avenged with the blood of innocent villagers in Afghanistan.
We did not authorize the administration to wage war anytime, anywhere, anyhow it pleases.
We did not authorize war without end.
We did not authorize a permanent war economy.
Read the whole A Prayer for America and tell me what it feels like to hear someone proclaiming the truth of things right out loud. And beautifully too. I want to marry this man AND make him President. He wants a Department of Peace. He wants to use the defense budget for pre-kindergarden through college no-cost education and universal health. Take a click and see where he stands on the issues. It is unbelievable. I feel hope I haven't felt in so long I almost didn't recognize it. I almost want to be an American again, but only if he is President. He says one of the first things he'll do is get rid of the hateful Patriot Act and restore our civil rights. He will work to undue the damage that Bush's policies have done to the environment. Today I read in the newspaper about a 77-year-old great-grandmother who lost her balance on the el platform coming home from her maid job in Wilmette to her home in Bellwood, and was crushed beneath the train. Kucinich says he feels people should be able to retire at 65, that they've worked long enough. He does not want to see Medicare privatized either. He came to give one speech that I read about and as he walked to the stage they played Imagine. I hear the song when I read his words. Is he too good to be true? Will he be killed? Or will he be the victim of some insane set-up scandal? Will he just be considered, like the rest of the idealists, too plain weird? I plan to work for him. I don't want to lose this dream.
