Kucinich introduces a bill to prohibit the extrajudicial killing of US citizens

Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) announced back in May of this year that he would introduce legislation that would end the practice of targeting U.S. citizens for extrajudicial killing after The Washington Post and The New York Times revealed that the Obama Administration was continuing the Bush-era policy of including U.S. citizens on lists of people to be assassinated without a trial.

Just about a month ago, JULY 30TH, Kucinich introduced the following bill - http://www.fas.org/irp/congress/2010_cr/hr6010.html - but I'm sure that few Americans heard about it, cause there seems to be a media blackout on the bill.


I fully expect that the DLC will make sure that Kucinich has a strong - VERY well funded Democratic challenger to face the next time he runs for re-election, he or she will get Obama's endorsement, or the Dims will simply rig the voting machines. Well - Dennis will sure be welcome in the Green Party, but he will face the same problems in the Green Party. Unfortunately, we Greens face the same difficulties as progressive Democrats do: easily rigged voting machines, two party collusion to keep 3rd Party candidates off the ballot, and the main stream media's tendency to totally ignore 3rd Party candidates. If the Dims take Dennis on in his next race, at least the Dims may be forced to expose the real secret - our democracy is a myth.

Alright Kathy!

Welcome back to writing as it's been a while. I'll try to motivate you to publish more than every six months or so :) Though my articles have been few and far between lately as well, so perhaps I should stay quiet.
