I believe Dennis Kucinich,Russ Feingold and Cindy Sheenan deserves the JFK award, more than John Murtha by Sue West

In my opinion, Dennis Kucinich, Russ Feingold and Cindy Sheenan, deserves the JFK award, more so than Murtha does! While, Murtha’s recent stand to bring our troops home immediately is admiralable and commendable, and I totally agree with it, it’s easy when war is unpopular to be against it but it takes REAL "profiles in courage" to stand up and be against it from the start, like Dennis Kucinich was, who also convinced 126 of his colleagues to vote against war Resolution BEFORE the war started, when it was unpopular to do so! People call you names, unpatriotic, spit at you, etc. look at what truly patriotic Cindy Sheenan has had to endure!

Noone has been more against ALL of these illegal, immoral wars than Dennis has; yet he doesn’t get the credit he deserves! As one who was against these illegal, immoral wars from day 1,and the Bill of rights destroying, Unpatriotic Patriot act,which is meant to further suppress and rob us of freedoms, not catch "terrorists", it’s upsetting to see organizations ignore, people like Dennis and Russ, and others who were more courageous than Murtha, get NO recognization!

Russ Feingold deserves the award for being ONLY Senator to vote against the Unpatriotic, Bill of Rights destroying, Patriot act in 2001, and for other issues!

As a member of Code Pink and many other progressive organizations, which I am NOT speaking for those organizations ONLY personally, while I think Murtha deserves alot praise for wanting immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq, I think Dennis, Russ and Cindy deserves the JFK award more.

Why is Murtha not coming out strongly against war on Iran?

What’s Murtha’s position on another possibly impending needless, immoral war on Iran or others?

This should be learned FIRST before giving him JFK award!

If memory serves me, I read somewhere, where he is for a war on Iran?

Which I’ve tried to look up to no avail!

I hope Murtha’s stand on possibly ANY new or old wars is against them, including the one in Afghanistan!!

  • Murtha’s interest in ’redeploying’ the troops is what concerns me.

    But I am disappointed in all of our anti-’leaders’ at this point. What exactly are any of them doing to stop this regime? Since camp casey, cindy has been traveling all over the world...planning a movie with Susan S. but what about stopping the war? We haven’t acomplished anything yet worth writing home, much less making a movie about. They are trying to start a war with Iran, and most of our politicians are going along with it, even John Conyers and Barbara Boxer.(see Iran Freedom Support Act) True Dennis Kucinich voted against this, but his interest is being vindicated for being right someday, not actually stopping the atrocity. He has done nothing to pursue bringing the troops home for over a year. He still supports Kerry, and will allow him to step foward and take credit for bringing the troops home just in time to force himself on us as the democratic candidate for 2008! Feingold is pursuing censure, not impeachment, and Dennis doesn’t believe in impeachment. What about the ole CONSTITUTION????They are all enabling Bush and cannot be trusted! ARRRGGHHHHHH!

    • How do you know Dennis Kucinich doesn’t believe in impeachment? NOT EVEN FOR TREASON AND MASS MURDER? Such as involvement in 9-11? Yes, Bush and cohorts, were involved in and helped with carrying out 9-11! They are worse then traitors! They are NOT ONLY mass murderers, war profiteers, and war criminals but committed crimes against humanity too! They need to be sent to Gitmo and tortured like they are doing to innocent people, then the families of victim’s of 9-11, needs their turn at them, then the families of killed G.I’s and also innocent Iraqi’s AND Afghanistani’s too turn at them, then victim’s of Katrina too, then if they survive all that, hang or shoot them but FIRST take ALL their worldly possessions from them, and including from their families! NOW THIS WOULD BE JUSTICE! They need to be arrested FIRST, then impeached, so they can’t pull another false flag attack on U.S. or anyone else and/or blame another innocent nation like Iran or others! Google: Loose change, 2nd edition and also "Everybody’s gotta learn sometime" too! 9-11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB, SHEEP! PERIOD! There is lots of evidence! I too am pissed off at ALL our so called leaders! The Gutless D’s are helping turn Bush into the FASCIST dictator he aways said he wanted become thanks to them rubber stamping EVERYTHING HE DOES!
      DOES ANYONE IN CONGRESS GIVE A SHIT ABOUT OUR BILL OF RIGHTS ANYMORE OR OUR CONSTITUTION? THEY ALL NEED TO BE RUN OUT OF CONGRESS ON RAIL, EXCEPT FOR CYTHNIA MCKINNEY! The Goddamn Democrats are holding "impeachment" over our heads by saying, Gee if you vote for us, we will impeach Bush, when the Goddamn gutless bastards probably won’t anyway! John Conyers USED to be a hero of mine but I am beginning to wonder even about him! And if they are saying this BS because they don’t want to "scare" the public, THAT IS BULLSHIT REASON, AS LOOK AT BUSH’S APPROVAL RATINGS! THAT PROVES PUBLIC WANTS HIM AND THEM OUT! AND NOW! If you live in America, email me so we can talk, OK? Chavez is right on! We in America are oppressed! Corportations own 80% of ALL politicians, own 90% of media, own EVERYTHING! We desperately need a 2nd American Revolution and now to save America from these lying,murdering, fascists, who are destroying America from within and also bankrupting U.S. too, all under the disguise of "war on terror’ WHICH IS PURE BOGUS! !

      I hear ya Sue! About 9/11 too....our government killing it’s own people and then using it to attack more innocent people is as sick as it gets. I don’t want to see them tortured physically but I would like to see them end up in the prison at the Hague permanently, forced to view images of the lives they have destroyed and the pain they have caused while listening to the bible on tape on continuous loop.

      About Dennis, he won’t even sign on to Conyer’s bogus impeachment investigation resolution. We don’t even need an investigation to impeach over illegal wiretapping, I just wish we had a congressman brave enough to introduce articles of impeachment. The new Zogby polls show that the people want impeachment to restore our government.

      Kucinich, as great as he is, does not support impeachment which is written in the constitution loud and clear specifically for times such as these. It makes no sense. I read a personal email that he sent stating that he didn’t believe in impeachment. It makes no sense. Now he is worried about being elected again in his home district when he could be standing strong as the leader on accountability in this country, the real leader of the democratic party demanding the troops be brought home now and credibility restored to the US government BEFORE they attack Iran. If he did this his re-election would be in the bag. Why do the democrats keep pretending we must keep mum on impeachment when WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND IMPEACHMENT? The Republicans are always bold in their stupidity and corruption, Why can’t the democrats be bold in stating the obvious truth and fighting for much needed justice?

    • Email me personally at Sue4986@aol.com. I clicked on website, what party are these people? Just wondering? We REALLY need 100 new Senators with some BALLS too, although Feingold has some, but does NOT go far enough! Farther then most, which with these gutless bastards is NOT far at all! I believe AIPAC is pulling all their strings, and therefore alot of them are putting Israel ABOVE AMERICA’S INTERESTS WHILE OUR NATION IS DESTROYED FROM WITHIN! EMAIL ME! AND YES, 9-11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB! Try to come to 9-11 Truth conference in Chicago, IL. on June2nd-4th at Embassy Suites Hotel in Rosemont, go to www.911truth.org and click on link on right hand side! TTYL EMAIL ME!
