Kucinich to Introduce Bill to Create New State

Danny Glover to Phone D.C. Voters for Kucinich
For Immediate Release: Jan. 10, 2004

Democratic Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich has announced that he will introduce a bill in Congress when it returns to session that will make Washington DC the 51st state.

"The residents of our nation's capital are taxed but have no voting power in Congress," Kucinich said. "Members of the armed services and the National Guard from Washington DC can be sent to fight in wars that DC has no power to vote on.

"The citizens of our nation's capital live, work, and pay taxes in the United States, and are denied the right even to use their tax dollars to lobby for statehood. This injustice must be brought to the nation's attention and swiftly remedied."

Kucinich will be aided by Danny Glover in contacting DC voters on Monday. A recording by Glover will be used on an automatic dialer to phone DC voters and urge them to vote for Kucinich in Tuesday's primary.

For good news coverage on Monday use I-59 historic example of need for DC Statehood per new Kucinich bill to Congress to make Washington DC the 51st State of the United States of America "Kucinich to Introduce Bill to Create New State"

At this stage of the 2004 US Presidential campaigning this is a "core of democracy values" story with many related issues of local, national, and international concern and interest.

How many people in your area are now in prison at great cost to themselves and their families and the taxpayers for nonviolent offenses relating to the hemp cannabis marijuana fraud on the United States Congress?

Dozens of related issues of local and national news media interest are involved here regarding the "democracy" professed by the US and the kicker now for all news outlets is this announcement about Kucinich plans to tender legislation for DC Statehood soon.

This matter is of such general national and local interest that emailers who show their local addresses to local news media will encourage them to publish their stories on local implications of this national and DC issue thus getting Dennis principled press coverage on this in many cities' Monday news to make impact on DC primary Tuesday. This is a well placed hour or so for folks' time on Sunday Jan.11

Given the lack of responsiveness to my suggestions to the Kucinich campaign in recent months it would be a good idea for those interested to email letters related to below issues to the DC news media and copy to their local news outlets all locatable via http://www.capwiz.com/lwv/dbq/media

Only very occasionally does such an opportunity present itself with such issues of both local and national concern as to warrant such coordinated email news media outreach campaign by supporters of not only Dennis Kucinich but opponents of the bogus drug war prison industrial complex and related issues as well as the advocates for health rights of patients to medicine etc.

How many people in your state are in prison at great cost to themselves and their families and the taxpayers for nonviolent offenses relating to the hemp cannabis marijuana fraud of 1937 by which cannabis hemp was outlawed by fraud on Congress implemented by industrial monopolists to prevent competition by hemp for its many uses via the hysteria about "marihuana" fomented by 20years of yellow journalism by Hearst papers in a most vitriolically racist campaign of fictitious "black man smokes marihuana and rapes white woman" kind of stories to enable this fraud to be perpetrated on the Congress by the Drug Czar at the time lying to Congress by saying the AMA favored prohibition in spite of its president's statement to the contrary since cannabis was in most US medicines then, WITHOUT even telling the Congress or the public that hemp cannabis marijuana is all the same plant, cannabis sativa.

Subject: please use I-59 important example of need for DC Statehood
Date: Saturday, January 10, 2004 6:11 PM
http://www.marijuana.org/DCInitPage.html < see details on below saga

A most egregious example of the need for DC Statehood can be found in what happened after the 1998 DC ballot initiative election day when exit polls indicated clearly the (I-59) initiative would pass legalizing medical marijuana for DC but was challenged at the very ballot box by the Congress in control of DC which under Bob Barr's leadership prevented the Fed from spending the less than $5 estimated cost to push the button to tally the ballots so the vote could be recognized and the measure passed.

This matter has many related issues of national concern as well so these last days before DC primary would be ideal time for Dennis Kucinich to issue a statement to the press about this matter and his view on its implications not only for DC and need for Statehood but also on national related issues, especially given his stated position favoring medical marijuana law changes at the federal level to give states these rights.

This is a wide public interest news angle that will help Dennis in the DC primary Tuesday if an article about his statement appears in DC news media Monday.

If Dennis voted against Bob Barr on that one he can explain why. If he voted with Bob Barr on that one he can use this as a good chance to clarify the issue.

In case You haven't heard:

Dennis Kucinich on the Drug War(thread)
http://boards.marihemp.com/boards/msg7x4680.shtml
A safe, free and just America is undermined, not bolstered, by the costly and ineffective War on Drugs. While well-intentioned, this misguided policy --- which emphasizes criminalization over treatment -- has led to increased violent crime, misdirected resources of law enforcement and restricted Constitutional liberties.

Here's the audio to Willie and Dennis Live........
begins with Willie singin' "Whatever Happened To Peace On Earth?"
http://www.corvusworld.com/willie-dennis.htm
******************** *
There's so many things going on in the world
Babies dying Mothers crying
How much oil is one human life worth
And what ever happened to peace on earth

We believe everything that they tell us
They're gonna' kill us
So we gotta' kill them first
But I remember a commandment
Thou shall not kill
How much is that soldier's life worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

(Bridge) And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

So I guess it's just
Do unto others before they do it to you
Let's just kill em' all and let God sort em' out
Is this what God wants us to do

(Repeat Bridge) And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

Now you probably won't hear this on your radio
Probably not on your local TV
But if there's a time, and if you're ever so inclined
You can always hear it from me
How much is one picker's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

But don't confuse caring for weakness
You can't put that label on me
The truth is my weapon of mass protection
And I believe truth sets you free

(Bridge) And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

Whatever Happened to Peace on Earth? By WILLIE NELSON

Willie wrote this song on Christmas,
2003, and will perform it for the first time at the Kucinich for President
fundraising concert in Austin, Texas, on Jan. 3, 2004.
