Another year of slumber?

I tuned in to kucinichtv.com to attend the only new year's eve party that was happening as far as I was concerned. Like any political event in America, it had its modicum of hokiness, and Dennis wins no prizes in stage presence. There was, of course, no big frikkin' balls dropping and -- thank all that's holy -- no commercials. I suppose that's why the streaming sucked so badly, certainly enough to drive anyone not fully committed to the cause away -- and those who are, totally afroth with frustration and ire. That's what happens when you're not given a chance by America's big-money, totally bought, totally corrupt media.
Too bad. It was a great show -- and unless somebody like Dylan or Clapton or Springfield or Neil Young was playing on some tv channel somewhere, it was the best performance of the night on any small screen.
Even the lousy streaming couldn't completely destroy the music. The poetry, too, was great, and the political talk was limited and, as usual, straight from the heart. And, as usual, Elizabeth was beautiful in every sense.
The day before, I talked with three visiting members of the family who had literally never heard of Dennis Kucinich. A short time before that, two others visiting for Christmas had no knowledge of him. All these people read American newspapers. I don't.
Here is a man who reflects the closest issues to the American heart -- a man with definite plans to address this nation's biggest problems. A man who would save the Constitution from the wanton destruction it now faces. No true American could look into his or her heart and not support -- hell, elect, Dennis Kucinich!
Why aren't you more familiar with him? Because he isn't in anyone's pocket. He doesn't have all that wealth, all that money big business pours into the coffers of politicians who will subsequently owe it all back them and thus keep them big and powerful.
