Democratic Courage Endorses Dennis Kucinich for Congress

Although Democratic Courage supported John Edwards during the presidential primaries, we're proud to support Dennis Kucinich in his tough congressional primary against well-financed opponents who have launched incredibly nasty smears against him. Contribute here to support Kucinich.

Feb . 27, 2008 - Democratic Courage today endorsed Dennis Kucinich for Congress, declaring him a "courageous hero." The statement of Democratic Courage president Glenn Hurowitz follows.

Dennis Kucinich truly exemplifies the rare quality of political courage. From his earliest days in public life, Dennis has shown that he doesn't flinch when his constituents or his country are on the line. Even in the darkest days of the Bush administration, while his colleagues were crumbling to pressure to give into the Bush agenda, Dennis always stood strong.

Those brave stands - and his ability to give them a national platform - have been of the utmost importance to the country and his constituents. Dennis's consistent advocacy of a not-for-profit health care system has changed the national debate so that Democrats are competing to show which of them has the health care plan that covers the most people. Because of Dennis's work, more affordable universal health care is on the way. By bravely standing against all the oil industry's money, Dennis has helped bring Ohio and the country to the cusp of a clean energy revolution that will save the planet and create millions of much-needed jobs. It's hard to imagine any of that happening without Dennis.

We need Dennis to continue serving in Congress to bring the prosperous, peaceful future that the country needs and that only Dennis's brand of courage can deliver.
