Kucinich met Samples with their family and friends Friday at the councilwomans church in downtown Akron to announce the ticket, branded as a Power To We The People campaign of progressive, anti-establishment values.
Afterward, Kucinich put his arm around Samples shoulder and said: This is a moment for the Democratic Party to wake up. The grass roots is waking up. Our motto doesnt say Power to we the party, it says Power to we the people.
