President Barack Obama greets Rep. Dennis Kucinich as he leaves the chamber after his speech about health care reform before a joint session of Congress.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich tells us why he isn’t buckling under pressure to vote for the president’s health care reform bill (“Every plan that’s put forth by our government ends up benefiting the health insurance industry”).

If I had one wish it would be that We had more people like Dennis Kucinich in Congress.  Most of the Democrats in the Senate and House have lost their moral compass and to put it bluntly:  have given up their integrity and principles to the lobbyists and the corporations.  Money and politics win out over helping their constituents. 

This is a crucial time for all of us and anyone who has done their homework over the healthcare issue knows that single payer or Medicare for all is the only answer.  In 2003 Senator Obama said the exact same thing.  Why has he changed?  He’s been bought by the corporations. 

If the U.S. would get out of Afghanistan and Iraq our country might benefit greatly from those trillions of dollars being spent on those so-called wars.
