Dear sometime Associates of the London Global Open Table,
Herewith a magnificent example of what small seeds of democratic exercising, such as we attempt within this network, can produce.
Elizabeth, the wife of Dennis K, found a surge in her aspiration to pursue inclusive justice at the London Global Open Table, through which we introduced her to the USA scene through working with Stephen Zarlenga at the American Monetary Institute [ and ‘The Lost Science of Money’], which led to her meeting and marrying the then Democratic Candidate for Presidency. They are an outstanding example of mutual support for each other’s own initiatives on the critical frontiers of inclusive justice.
And maybe, be inspired to share your own part in the quest in this Common, if hard to implement, Cause.
Peter

I want to share with you some very exciting news. This week I announced
my candidacy for Mayor of Cleveland. [2] At a time when many American
big cities are beset by crime and poverty, I intend to bring to
Cleveland a new vision of what a city can become when it is truly run in
the interests of the people.[3]
In 1977, when I was first elected Mayor, I set a standard for fearless
representation of the public interest. Half of my major appointments
came from Cleveland’s African-American community, including the safety
director who had authority over the police department. We successfully
fought an epic battle to save our municipal electric system, the
Division of Light and Power, from a takeover by a utility monopoly. We
ran the city on a cash basis, cutting spending 18% by eliminating waste,
fraud, and abuse — without reducing city services. We had an intensive,
public-interest, service-oriented approach. Government worked in the
interest of the people of the city.
Today Cleveland has one-half the population and is struggling with crime
and poverty. I am prepared to take on the challenge of lifting up our
city, and, in doing so, I hope to inspire people everywhere with the
possibilities which still exist in urban America. You have been there to
support so many of my endeavors. This one can change a city and if
successful can be important far beyond Cleveland. I ask that once again,
you assist us in our efforts to lift up the human condition.
Senator Robert Kennedy once wrote, “Each time [someone] stands up for
an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against
injustice, [they] sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each
other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those
ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of
oppression and resistance.”
Please join me in becoming a ripple of hope for a city that desperately
needs help. Please go to Kucinich.com today, and, if you are so moved,
please contribute to help make this dream of a new city a reality. [4]
Always grateful,
Dennis J. Kucinich
