“Achieving peace through strength doesn’t necessarily mean that you need bigger tanks or missiles, for peace can also be achieved through personal strength.”
Willie Nelson

“Imagine living in harmony with the world and those who inhabit it.”
Willie Nelson

We have an opportunity to vote for peace. Dennis Kucinich has a vision beyond any politician running this 2008 Presidential campaign. He is a staunch out spoken pro peace candidate who is not willing to compromise a vision of a world living in harmony and peace, a world where war is not on the table and for this unpopular position the media and his own party marginalizes him. At an anti-war rally on October 2, 2002, Obama said, “I don’t oppose war in all circumstances. When I look out on this crowd today, I know there is no shortage of patriots or patriotism. What I do oppose is a dumb war.” Why do we have to consider war?

How can you make a war on terror if war itself is terrorism?
Howard Zinn

Dennis Kucinich offers an opportunity for dialogue without the idea that war is a possibility. For this I admire him because taking this unpopular stance demonstrates Dennis is working from a position of inner strength and compassion. He proposes open discussions fostering an atmosphere where ideas from opposing points of view are welcome without the threat of war hanging over everyone’s head.

“The best preparedness is the one that disarms the hostility of other nations and makes friends of them.” Helen Keller

Dennis wants to relate directly to the American public because that is where all the power lies. Let’s create a world where inner values of compassion, love, care and affection dominate. Dealing with our fear allows peace to prosper and we all grow personally and collectively stronger. War does not work as an avenue to create peace. Decide what kind of America you want to have for yourselves and your children and share your voice.

“I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that the people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
