The only congressman who isn't completely worthless. We should throw everyone out except for him and Ron Paul. Their views are as different as they come, but they're the only people in Congress who actually care about the country and try to make it better instead of just caring about their wallets and spending their terms doing nothing but collecting enough money to get re-elected next term, like all of the other people in Congress do. Abolish the two-party system. Get rid of these cowards.
The two party system are sell outs to corporate interests. What needs to happen before anything else is the weeding out of corruption. Restrictions over government officials to ensure they can't be bought out easily and impose strict and harsh punishments for those to do fall into corruption. Instead of the country club prisons that the elite often find themselves in for just a few months over multi-million dollar scams.
life is a right. why should it be ok for people to profit off life or the lack there of. Or have people pay for a service they will never get. a public option is not a free for all. its paid by premiums by the people who want it. Kucinich is correct, these bills are garbage for a reason its to protect corporate profits. bill or no bill with out a real public solution your rates are going up. my rates don't I have a government plan suckers, you'd think everyone would want that. I live in the US
Actually, we do consider food, clothing, and shelter rights.
The gov subsidizes all of those things for the poor.
Non-profts work hard to make sure all can get those because they consider them rights.
Ask them.
So you are uneducated.
If life has any value, and the life of a a countries people is its lifeblood, that the countries power comes from its living citizens, then the basics of life are a right that needs to be protected.
Our good health is paramount to productivity, happiness, life.
You are really retarded. At least you reiterate what I've been saying all along. Americans don't even know their own laws. This is why everyone regards the United States as stupid.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
What does exactly "promote the general Welfare" mean to the Republicans and other purveyors of the ideal of small-government?
General Welfare, To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." James Madison
"Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated." - Thomas Jefferson
"If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions." - James Madison

Congress= 400 corporate whores and a handful of actual "representatives of the People" that are led by Congressman Dennis Kucinich.
Kucinich would make a fine President.
And he was hijacked from the '08 Presidential debates why again?

In more developed civilizations around the world health care are seen as a right in line with the right to security and justice.
Why it is not so in the US is hard to understand, and seemed a bit barbaric.

Health Care is NOT a right.
Just as food, clothing, and shelter are not rights.
Kucinich is uneducated.

Americans are not stupid just uneducated.
Dennis is the smart one. We can all learn from him.
American's problem is GREED nothing more nothing less.
The laws are written in a way that nobody can understand, just like the Bible you just translate it to fit your agenda.
