 | | Dennis Kucinich AFLCIO town hall meeting in Columbus 03:31COLUMBUS, OH -- Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, the son of a Teamster truck driver and the oldest child in a paycheck-to-paycheck family of seven children, brought his life's experiences more...and his legislative record to an AFL-CIO town hall meeting in Columbus (OH) today and told his union brothers and sisters, "This campaign is about jobs. It's about jobs. And it's about jobs."
"It's the workers of this country who are going to determine who the president is going to be," the Cleveland Congressman told the cheering crowd. And that next President, he said, must be committed to creating new jobs, making health care available to all Americans, securing workers' rights and pension rights, and improving education for the next generation of American workers.
Introduced as "Ohio's favorite son," Kucinich, the only card-carrying union member in the Democratic field, had the audience on its feet several times. He vowed to cancel the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which has resulted in the out-sourcing of millions of American jobs. He promised a national, not-for-profit health insurance system that would cover all Americans. He pledged that the Justice Department and the Labor Department would enforce workers' rights, especially the right to organize.
His deep and sincere commitment to those issues and his legislative record separate him from the other Democratic candidates, Kucinich said.
"Do you think I could stand up here and talk like this if I was owned by Wall Street," Kucinich asked? "I'm someone who can not be bought. I'm someone who can not be bossed. I'm someone who can not be intimidated."
On health care, he said the other candidates "get too much money from the insurance companies, they can't break the hold." On foreign trade, other candidates are proposing to "fix" trade agreements, instead of scrapping them, and those promises are "weasel-wording" what they really plan to do: "nothing."
In a poignant story taken from his early years as a newspaper copyboy in Cleveland, Kucinich's eyes welled with tears, as did many in the audience, when he told of going to the homes of families to pick up photographs of their children who had died in the war in Vietnam. In vivid, emotional detail, he described their modest, working-class homes "and their hands...rough hands...like they had been working their whole lives...and just barely making it." He used the story to illustrate the personal impact that wars on the other side of the world have on families in Ohio and across the country. The war in Iraq, he said, must be brought to an end and America's service men and women must be brought home as soon as possible.
"You're looking at the only candidate to vote against the war and all of the appropriations" since, Kucinich said.
He added, "Ohio has the chance to be heard and change the election." As an Ohioan, "one of you," Kucinich said, "I'll never forget where I came from."

Published on Friday, July 13, 2007 by ABC News Caught on Tape: Clinton to Edwards ‘Our Guys Should more...Talk’ by Teddy Davis / Lindsey Ellerson ABC News’ Teddy Davis and Lindsey Ellerson Report: Democratic rivals Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., were caught on tape Thursday privately conferring and agreeing to have their campaigns collaborate.
“Our guys should talk,” Clinton said to Edwards.
The former first lady’s remarks were picked up by an open microphone following a Democratic presidential candidates forum held at the annual NAACP convention.
During the event, which took place in Detroit, long-shot Democratic presidential candidate Mike Gravel ripped into several of his top-tier rivals for authorizing the use of force in Iraq in 2002.
“The majority of the people on this dais voted for the war,” said Gravel. “If they got wisdom now, where were they then?”
Both Clinton and Edwards voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq in 2002.
Gravel, who is a former Democratic senator from Alaska, also went after the record compiled by Clinton’s husband on trade.
“Where do you think NAFTA came from?” asked Gravel. “From the Trinity? It came from a Democratic administration. That’s where it came from. We ought to recognize that. And not accept all this stuff…”
Following Gravel’s NAFTA remarks, the moderator told the audience that none of the Democratic candidates would receive a chance to respond because of a previously agreed upon format.
“I’m sure all the candidates would like to respond to that,” said CBS’ Russ Mitchell, one of the event moderators. “Because this is classified as a forum, and not a debate, all the candidates agreed upon there would be no chance for that this afternoon.”
The private discussion between Clinton and Edwards began when the former senator walked over to the former first lady to shake hands at the conclusion of the forum. The candidates were not aware that the microphone that Clinton was wearing was still transmitting sound.
“We’ve got to talk because they, they are, just being trivialized,” Clinton said to Edwards.
“They are not serious,” Edwards responded.
“No,” Clinton said in agreement. “You know, I think there was an effort by our campaigns to do that. We got somehow, you know, detoured. But we’ve got to get back to that . . .”
Due to organ music and announcements that were being made in the background, the entirety of the conversation is not audible.
ABC News has asked both campaigns what the two candidates have agreed to work on together and will update this post with their responses. less Tags: dennis kucinich presidential election 2007 clinton edwards democratic sen hillary clinton sen john edwards candidates naacp convention detroit presidential candidate mike gravel iraq 2002 war gravel nafta america debate senator abc news politics Category: News Views: 67 Comments: 1 Added: Jul 13, 07 By: MikeNobody  | |  |  | | Senator Jeff Sessions Shows 20 Loopholes in Immigration Bill Must See) 01:18Excellent Video!
