On the Trail - '08: Kucinich on CBS

On the Trail - '08: Kucinich on CBS

Only YOU can save America (and also, prevent forest fires)

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

The mass media has underestimated him, but you shouldn't.

For those who don't know much about Dennis Kucinich, go read this nice little article. Just because the mass media hasn't chosen to embrace him doesn't mean he isn't the best candidate running for the 2008 presidential election!

Happy (turkeyless) Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow, I will be enjoying corn pie, sweet potato rolls, squash, and vegan pumpkin pie. I have never enjoyed thanksgiving dinner so much as I do now that mine is completely vegan! For some reason, knowing that what I am eating didn't cause suffering and will not cause damage to the earth makes it easier to be thankful.

One thing about Thanksgiving that still gets under my skin is the president's annual turkey pardon. I think it's just plain sick. What crime did this turkey commit that it needs a pardon to avoid execution? If people are so happy to see this turkey being named and saved from death, how can they turn around and rejoice in dining on the dead body of another turkey two days later?

This particular topic leads me to an interesting thought -- what will happen to that tradition if Dennis Kucinich becomes president in 2008 (a girl can hope, can't she)? He already saves a turkey every year on thanksgiving by not eating it; that is one of the great things about veganism, after all. I hope we get the chance to find out!
You can help that happen by visiting www.december152007.com and pledging to donate on December 15th. I realize that $100 is a lot, so if you're not sure you can spare that much, team up with some friends or family members and give however much you can.

I will definitely be posting more here about Dennis Kucinich, 2008 presidential candidate. Not only is he vegan (and how great would it be to have a vegan president!), he is also the only candidate whose track record, stance on issues, and character earn my vote. Take a few minutes and visit his campaign website, http://www.dennis4president.com/ and learn about him. If you are already a supporter, make sure to click visit the website for Dec 15 by clicking the above image and pledge your support.
If you have another 5 minutes, check out this news story covering a recent global warming forum in which Kucinich mentioned his vegan diet and, in my opinion, definitely came out ahead of the other two candidates who bothered to show up.
