Kucinich Stands Strong on Key Issues
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 29, 2004
Congressman Dennis Kucinich tonight stood strong as the candidate who will challenge a global trade system that gives corporations powers over governments, who will repeal NAFTA and withdraw from the WTO, replacing them with fair bilateral trade agreements.
Kucinich stood strong as the candidate with a plan to create single-payer comprehensive health coverage, allowing us to provide coverage for every American for no more than we're paying now to leave 43 million people without coverage while we pay for the for-profit health insurance industry's executive salaries, stock options, lobbying, advertising, and marketing.
Kucinich stood strong as the candidate with a plan to go to the United Nations with a new approach that would send UN peacekeepers into Iraq and bring US troops home. Kucinich said he would reject the doctrines of preemption, unilateralism, and first-strike.
Kucinich said he would honor the NAACP boycott of South Carolina over the use of the confederate flag by staying tonight at a hotel in North Carolina. He committed to working to heal the country on the issues of slavery, the Civil War, 9-11, and the dispossession of Native American land.
Kucinich stood out in tonight's debate despite the fact that it took debate moderator Tom Brokaw 12 minutes to get to his first question related to what it might mean for Americans for any of these candidates to be president, and 30 minutes to get to his first substantive question to Kucinich.
