LETTER TO FAMOUS KUCINICH SUPPORTERS
Today I am going to salute Kucinich by making a plea to his most famous supporters. Okay people let's get it together - Dennis needs your help and he needs it NOW! Granted, you may already be too late but that is no excuse to give up and you have only yourselves to blame for that. Now is when he has the nations attention (at least everyone who counts in the ethics department) and he desperately needs well respected people backing him up now more than ever. Not just to get him into the white house but simply to offset the goliath like power being wielded by the main stream media machine that is trying to trick people into thinking that the man doesn't exist, or is so irrelevant he might as well not exist. Well you and I know different and it is time we figured out a way of getting the general public up to speed.
Viggo Mortensen, your off the hook, for a while anyway. What you did in New Hampshire was commendable - but it shouldn't have taken Dennis being excluded from a debate to get you to do it, sorry to say. If you are so fired up and passionate about him you should have been pounding the pavement with him for months - lord knows you can afford to unlike many of Kucinich's less known supporters who work tirelessly for him while struggling with poverty. I've heard about and known of a number of them. And why didn't you call up Sean Penn and Shirley MacLain and tell them to get off those film sets and out there campaigning? Lord knows Dennis will never put the pressure on anyone so his biggest supporters kind of have to inspire the other supporters to step up to the plate, if you know what I mean. I'm sorry but no movie is more important that pulling this country back from the brink of imperialist madness and that's saying a lot coming from me.
And where are Roy Sheider, Hector Elizondo and James Cromwell when you need them. They should be following Dennis from town to town as far as I'm concerned - Hollywood careers be damned. After all what is going to happen to Hollywood if our country doesn't change course asap? More banks, more right wing fanatics, more apocalyptic imagery and under aged booty call films that don't win anybody no awards. If liberals are hired at all in an even more right wing America it will only be to occasionally portray weak kneed liberal presidents caving in to terrorism while die-hardesque renegade heros explode their way in to save the day. What we want is the opposite - a hollywood where the only thing the right wing actors can get cast in is to play an out of control president who is swept out of office by a popular uprising long before he has a chance to ignite WWIII.
And there are more of you out there, lots more. I've seen the lists of his donors and there are a quite a number of famous people who send him money but never publicly support him. Shame on you. And I'm not even going to mention the ones who due to their positions should support him and yet have gone for one of those three candidates who seem to want war with Iran almost as much as Bush does.
There's no question about it, we need to see all of the celebrities who support Dennis to get together and hold a joint "star studded" press conference in which they all collectively draw attention to his impeachment efforts, his truly not-for-profit healthcare program, his firm opposition to the war from the beginning and his total lack of corporate money. Then, as if that weren't enough, they should also bring along computer and election law experts and declare American elections null and void while calling for a nation wide repeal of computerized voting devices as well as the ending of Diebold's involvement in elections period. forever.
Famous people of integrity, your country needs you now more than ever. Dennis needs you now more than ever. History is calling upon you to react not just as individuals but as a collective. The world is waiting for you to all join together with all the other famous and not so famous people who know the difference between right and wrong in a climate where truth has become a casualty of war. Now is the time to unify with all those who have spoken out for full disclosure of the many government cover ups over the last fifty years and those who have spoken up for global peace and justice and an end to global military/banking complex tyranny. It is time to show that there is a just and honest future course for America waiting for us it's just that its messenger has been shouted down by the forces of corruption.
It is time to recognize that the elite cannot and win the hearts and minds of the American people. All the population needs is to be led toward more accurate information than they get on tv and in newspapers and sensible leadership like Kucinich. We are backing away from the hijacked course we have been set upon and are soon we will re-embrace a humane cooperative approach to life with an emphasis on true democracy and real freedom. That's just the way the pendulum swings.
Ed Begley Jr. Didn't you support Dennis - speak up! Demand to be heard. Lord knows you've got more of a bully pulpit than I do. And what about Charlie Sheen shouldn't you be a Kucinich supporter what with all of your controversial views? There isn't a liberal or progressive actor who is off the hook. Quite frankly, at the risk of offending some, Hillary and Obama are taking a lot of you for a major ride. It is embarrassing to see so many of you embrace them just because they are in the celebrity club. News flash, they are corrupt to the core and it is rubbing off on all those who rub up against them. Even Republicans with integrity should be backing Dennis to show that they are not part of the establishment machine.
Granted I'm sure I sound a wee bit cranky about the whole subject and I know you catch more flies with honey and all that but Dennis has been out there standing up for what we all agree is right for quite a number of years now. All people seem to do is sit back tsk tsking that he doesn't stand a chance. What is wrong with us? Where's our "can do" spirit of personal empowerment? If we all pulled together we would MAKE SURE he stands a chance. A good number of his supporters could even afford to put their careers on hold for a while and campaign for him full time. Why not, you might learn something - about policy and people. The entire experience will help you a great deal when trying to decide which script you should choose to do next. I should know - I'm the guy who will be peddling it to you.
