Dear [subscriber name],

I would like to thank you for your support, and thank the tens of thousands of concerned Citizens for Kucinich who in the past few months have written, emailed and called to discuss my running for Congress in Washington State.

At the end of this term I will have served sixteen years in the House of Representatives, leading the way for peace, to bring an end to the wars, for workers' rights, for health care for all, for monetary policy reform and to end the corrupting influence which money has on our political decision-making process. My staff and I have worked to deliver a level of constituent service to the people of Cleveland, which most agree is unmatched for results. As testimony to our efforts in the Cleveland area I received about 75% of the vote from my present constituents who were included in the newly redistricted area in which I ran in March.

Because of my love of public service, I have given a great deal of time and much thought to the advice and encouragement I have received from so many people of good will in Washington State. I certainly want to continue to be of service to our country and to the working men and women who have built it.

After careful consideration and discussions with Elizabeth and my closest friends, I have decided that, at this time, I can best serve from outside the Congress. My commitments to peace, to workers' rights and to social and economic justice are constant and are not dependent upon holding an office. They are dependent upon my continuing to stand up, to speak out, to organize, to motivate and to inspire our nation as to its deeper potential. This I promise I will do with great energy and heart.

I will complete my service in the U.S. House on January 2, 2013, with the same passion and devotion to duty with which I began it on January 3, 1997. And when I do, I shall think of you and all those who have given me encouragement to continue to be of service, and I will smile, knowing that we shall meet again in our celebration of the potential of citizen activists to change the world.

Please continue to encourage your friends and family to sign up at www.Kucinich.us because we will need to continue to work together for change outside Congress, as we have worked for it from within. This is just the beginning!

Sincerely,


Dennis

Yeah, who could blame him for deciding to stay home with her? She's really pretty. Looks like she cut her hair in the past 4 years:

Read the letter. People were encouraging him to run in WA, where he had a really high chance of success.

I did. That would be returning to politics though, since he just got booted out. To me, "deciding" would be voluntarily retiring, just as Dr. Paul did.

His wife has a tongue ring and is only 35. I knew she looked young, but I figured she was at least 40.

He struck gold (ruby? lolol) with that one.

I lost a lot of respect for Kucinich when he voted against a full audit of the Fed:

and when he voted for Obamacare after saying he wouldn't:

News article on it.

I too had a lot of respect for Kucinich. While I did not agree with him on many domestic aspects, he still understood liberty and the golden rule.

How can somebody that thinks it is ok to force somebody to buy a service from a private company be somebody that understands liberty and the golden rule?

He understood the golden rule? So I guess he wanted the government to loot him for someone elses health and to devalue his money until its worthless paper?

I won't miss him. He talked the talk, but didn't walk the walk.

How did DK end up with her?

She's a cia asset and her mission is now complete. Question is, does she remain "an undercover" sleeper agent?

His party redistricted him, so it's not quite the same as losing the seat he had held for so long.

I'll miss him. He wasn't great, but compared to the rest of congress he was a saint. Worked with Ron Paul more than most republicans.
