Elizabeth Kucinich Tweets about DK's future.

Elizabeth Kucinich tweeted that Dennis Kucinich will be on NPR today and his future will be discussed..
Hopefully it is in Journalism.. ? Look to the likes of Chris Hedges' these are the kind of figures that try and keep America to its promise.
. what Position would you want to See DK in..?
I vote.. If Obama had the good sense . Maybe Secretary of State or Trade Ambassador..
If not government . Like in the Media like Jennifer Granholm. Or Chris Hedges..
He is too valuable and unique an asset to be silenced after the GOP gerrymander designed to get him..
. Where do you view him as most effective.?

Now he is not restrained by calling first class jerks gentleman and gentlewoman.. Freedom is being able to throw stones at glass houses from the outside. !

A part of DK for us is as a Truth Teller. The man is a policy wonk chucked full of information.
Close my eyes and I could perceive him to be a professor.

Not much can be done about Trade Issues on the State Level. I could imagine the effectiveness of a trio of
Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Dennis Kucinich in the Senate. The Republicans would be stunned.

for Denis to go to the Senate. I can commit right now to volunteering for him in the primary.

But we really do need a strong progressive voice at the state level too, especially to help resist the fracking attack. We need someone with the courage to tell the truth and speak against the interests of the oil industry. We'll have to see what he wants to do. He can move to Columbus and run for mayor if he wants.

Where union members and environmentalists marched together.. Trade issues is what did this country in.
If only DK had the ability to control trade policy back then, we'd have a different country..
Trade we rate as our number one priority and why we were originally attracted to DK..
Can't Ted Strickland run again. ?
. Personally, we hope DK comes out to Calif and we can make him our Senator. But, then long term Lt Gov. Gavin is super ambitious and he'll probably some year be our Gov or Senator.

Strickland doesn't have what it takes to protect us from the oil and gas drillers. He might do something small and symbolic to differentiate himself from Kasich, too make it seem like there is a choice. But for the most part the fracking orgy will continue unless we recruit a real truth teller.

Either for another district, for senate, or best yet, for President! We need to vote for him in the primaries.
