Jonathan Mark's got it going on...
There will be Kucinich-Democracy Film and Discussion Forums in Amherst, MA-Tuesday Sept. 9 and Keene, NH-Sept. 23.
Campaigns for the nomination for the next election for US President are
underway. Flyby News is sponsoring programs that support the only candidate that voted against the Patriot Act and was a major factor in organizing more than 120 members of Congress who voted against the apparent authorization for selected-US President George W. Bush to preemptively attack Iraq.
The best way to understand what Dennis Kucinich is all about is to see him in person. The second best is to witness a film of one of his speeches.
Flyby News is sponsoring a program with three films at the Amherst Bangs Community Center on Tuesday September 9, 2003, each film will be followed by discussions. The first film will begin around 6pm with Malachi Roths' new film-short, The Peace Candidate [20 minutes]. This film gives an intimate look, during the drum-beating for war, at one of the most qualified and inspirational American leaders to emerge in decades. The second film will be an excerpt [30 minutes] from What I've Learned About US Foreign Policy: The War Against the Third World. This extraordinary film compilation by Frank Dorrel documents many CIA covert operations and US interventions since World War II, representing an overview of a corporate-controlled and secret shadow-government behind affairs of US foreign policy. The final film in this forum is a response to the war on terror, which many believe adds incentives for more terrorism, called A Prayer for America [18 minutes]. This speech was presented by Dennis Kucinich to the Southern California Americans for Democratic Action on February 17, 2002 just 5 months following the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Congressman Dennis J Kucinich's eloquent words brought patriotism to the forefront in questioning the wisdom of the US administration's cut-back on US civil liberties. He begins his speech by singing a medley of patriotic songs.
This speech was passed all around the Internet and initiated tens of thousands of responses, which was a catalyst in launching Kucinich's national grassroots campaign. Kucinich is not accepting any corporate funding, and has vowed to bring significant changes to the US Government in its domestic and international affairs.
The September 23rd film/discussion program in Keene, NH will take place at the Keene Public Library Auditorium from 6:00 to 8:45 PM. This program will open with excerpts from Frank Dorrel's What I've Learned About US Foreign Policy and after discussions, A Prayer for America and then another Dennis Kucinich powerhouse speech at the Take Back America Conference [26 min] delivered on June 5, 2003 in Washington, D.C.
