Petition the Democratic Party
Remember Dennis Kucinich? He's still around and he's still out campaigning. I had the pleasure of seeing him speak here in Gainesville a few months ago and he was quite inspiring. What's also inspiring is how in the face of Kerry's presumptive nomination, Dennis has been out campaigning for a progressive policy shift in the Democratic Party. I firmly believe that the key to winning this election for the Democrats is not pandering to the Right, but rather energizing people who have dropped out of politics. The way to do that is to promote progressive causes, and that is what Kucinich is doing. He has a series of petitions he plans to deliver to the Democratic Party: Creating a Dept. of Peace, UN in US out of Iraq, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transexual rights, Universal Healthcare, and Fair Trade. Sign the petitions here.
