Passionate Democrat
Dennis Kucinich visits Roseburg: Presidential nomination is clinched, but former Cleveland mayor stil pressing ideas
U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich knows that Sen. John Kerry has enough delegates to win the Democratic Party nomination for president. That didn't stop the Ohio native and former Cleveland mayor, however, from coming to Roseburg on Sunday evening and addressing a standing-room-only crowd at the Douglas County Library on issues that he feels should shape the party platform. In doing so, Kucinich said there is still plenty up for grabs in Oregon's May 18 primary.
"New Hampshire and Iowa helped to decide the nomination. The direction of the Democratic Party is far from settled. The vote Oregonians have is important to the direction of the Democratic Party," Kucinich said in addressing more than 250 people who crammed into the Ford Community Room.
Kucinich advocates universal health care for all Americans. More than 43 million residents do not have health insurance, Kucinich said, and basic medical, dental and vision treatment can cost several thousand dollars.
