Last Saturday, supporters from all over L.A. gathered to hear Congressman and Presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich share his views on how this country should be run. His speech focused on peace, stating that his campaign is a “vehicle to restate America’s position in the world”.
When I spoke with the Congressman, he and his wife Elizabeth expressed their enthusiasm for ONE and Kucinich proudly wore a white ONE band throughout the event.
California ONE members will continue to meet presidential candidates from both sides of the aisle to make sure that poorest of the poor are not forgotten during the 2008 election cycle.
