Ah Black Friday.

The Day After Thanksgiving... This year, it falls on November 23rd.

traditionally on this day, people head to the shopping malls of America to trample each other in search of bargain deals on cheap plastic crap and marked-up clothing made overseas under sweatshop conditions in places like China and Honduras.

Americans spend more money on this day than any other day of the year.

As a culture, we REVEL in this holiday of spending our hard earned money in a big orgiastic release of our funds into the hands of corporate America. It is our consumer holiday. We go nuts in a frenzy of materialism.

And my family members are starting to ask me what I want for Christmas.

Well, this year, I'm asking for World Peace.

And that's not a joke.

Last year, I told my family I wanted a better world for Christmas, so I asked them to donate whatever money they'd have spent on clothes, or trinkets or ties (because all males need ties, and should be given one at every gift giving opportunity)on organizations like Oxfam, Amnesty International, the ACLU, and news organizations like PBS and DemocracyNOW!

This year, I'm asking my family to donate to Dennis Kucinich on my behalf. And I want them to do it on November 23rd.

Myself, I'm an intern with the Dennis Kucinich for President Campaign. I receive a $400 monthly stipend. This month, I'm going to donate the whole thing back to the campaign. not that I don't need it, but because I care that much.

I'm okay with eating Ramen for a month just so long as I have somebody who understands the US Constitution.

Dennis Kucinich is the ONLY Democratic candidate who understands the Constitution. And I'm not just saying that. He's the only one who voted against the USAPATRIOT act, and the only one who voted against re-authorizing it.

Obama? Hillary? Edwards? They have all collectively undermined and eroded the US Constitution with their past votes.



Collectively they've voted for the Bush Revisions of the FISA laws. They voted several times to re-authorize and broaden the scope of the USAPATRIOT act. They have voted to overturn Habeas Corpus (illegally) by voting for the Military Comissions act.

These people don't even understand what it means to be American, and based on their voting records, they obviously have NO CLUE what the Constitution even says-- and yet somehow we're supposed to believe them when they take the oath of office? That they'll "swear to protect and uphold the US Constitution?"

How can they know how to do that if they don't understand it?

Now, I'm not willing to accept the Neo-Con agenda just because it's coming from Democratic Mouthpieces.

Congress is also currently considering legislation that would allow the Federal Military to intervene in enforcing Domestic law.

That's a direct violation of Posse Comitatus, a law passed to prevent a Police State from occuring. When the Military enforces Domestic law, that's called MARTIAL LAW. That is a form of Fascism. Right here in the USA, land of the Free and Home of the Brave.

Well, I for one want America to start standing for what it stands for.

I want the rule of law, and the Bill of Rights restored. No other democrat is talking about the assaults on our Constitution, and even if they are, their voting record shows that they are the ones doing the damage they are complaining about.

Except Dennis.



What's more, is I want a president who recognizes that without health care, a lot of people will die of easily curable or preventable illnesses, and that access to health care is a part of our right to life.

Right now, the number of people who die from a lack of access to health care is nine times that of the number of people who died on September 11th, 2001. Every year.
That's due to either insurance being to expensive and being uninsured, as well as being underinsured, which is to say, thinking that you insurance covers you, only to find out later that sadly, no, you've been left out in the cold, despite your paying them thousands of dollars.

We aren't going to solve the problem by subsidizing the health insurance companies. They're the PROBLEM. Edwards, Obama, and Hillary all want to do with health insurance what the Bush administration did with the oil Industry-- subsidize it. Halliburton health anyone?

And we aren't going to solve the problem by making buying health insurance mandatory. Edwards and Hillary both want to make having no health insurance illegal-- you MUST pay these private insurers! Or else! Effectively and completely criminalizing poverty in America.

Perhaps Hillary and Edwards are geniuses. It is true that under their plans those who cannot afford health insurance will have universal access to it-- in prison.

We're seeing a police state forming here, and the Democrats are turning a blind eye to it.

Except Dennis.

These things are too important to sit on the sidelines for any longer. It's time we got up off our asses and got involved.

I propose that on November 23rd, Black Friday, we purchase the future we want to see.

When congressman Kucinich ran for the house in Ohio, his slogan was, "Light Up America!"

Let's Light Up Black Friday.

The math is simple: If 100,000 people donate $100 dollars a piece, you will raise 10 million dollars.

That's front runner status right there. With Federal Matching funds doubling whatever we make, that's 20 million.

How many people would buy into the lies of Dennis being "unelectable" if he had 20 million in the bank?

Plus, think about the media stir.
Ron Paul got hundreds of millions of dollars of free airtime over the 4 million he raised.

Kudos to his supporters, but I think we can top it.

But the only way that this can work is if you tell EVERYBODY YOU KNOW about November 23rd.

And if you encounter those naysayers who tell you that they love his platform, but that he has no chance to win, just look them in the eye and tell them, "Throw $100 on the pile on Nov 23rd, and tell me if you still think that on Nov 24th."
