Central Virginia, home to Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and the father
of our Constitution, James Madison, will be the site of a rally for a
presidential candidate working to defend that Constitution.
The creators of our government intended the Congress to be the most
powerful branch of it, and provided as a defense of that power the
impeachment process. Central to their thinking was concern that an
unchecked executive could take the nation into unjust and unnecessary wars.
Our Constitution and Bill of Rights are under attack, and the leading
voice in their defense will be speaking in Charlottesville on December
7th. Dennis Kucinich is working to end the funding of the occupation of
Iraq, to prevent an aggressive war on Iran, and to restore the rule of
law to the executive branch by impeaching Dick Cheney and George W. Bush.
Kucinich, alone among the candidates, would shift our priorities and
resources in a major way from war to peace. He would invest in jobs, in
green energy, and in education, including publicly funded college
tuition. Kucinich alone would catch us up with the rest of the world by
creating single-payer health coverage. Kucinich alone would end NAFTA.
Please join us in welcoming Dennis Kucinich to Virginia on Friday,
December 7th.
WHERE: Lane Auditorium in the Albemarle County Office Building -
McIntire (COB-McIntire), located at the intersection of McIntire Road
