Congressman Kucinich: Why I Support Norman Solomon for Congress

Dennis Kucinich photoDear Friend on California's North Coast,

I'm writing you in support of one of the top peace candidates for Congress anywhere in the country: the internationally-known and respected antiwar advocate and author, NORMAN SOLOMON. It is important that you help to elect him.

Norman and I have been friends for almost 15 years. He is a powerful intellectual, a gifted writer and an activist who is willing to put himself on the line for the principled causes of peace, justice and the environment.

He will be one unique member of Congress ... but he won't get here without your help NOW.

Norman is a true progressive. He is an independent thinker. Too many Democrats go along with outrageous military spending, deadly wars and Wall Street greed, all of which demoralize our nation, drain our federal treasury and cause resentment around the world. Norm Solomon is unafraid to stand up and speak out when others are silent.

Norman will stand up to the Wall Streeters who continue their high-stakes gambling at public expense. He refuses to take corporate PAC money or lobbyist donations. That puts him at a disadvantage in this primary battle. This is where you can help.

As you know, I will not be returning to Congress next year. We need Norman in Congress so that he can share his insight with all members. Because of his fierce dedication to the public interest, Norman will be an instant leader in Congress -- on war, on bloated military spending, on Wall Street, on threats to Social Security and Medicare (from either party).

Norman Solomon was an advocate for the 99% -- challenging the 1% -- before there was an Occupy Wall Street movement. Every supporter of mine should be a natural supporter of Norman. Help him carry on the legacy of strong peace and justice advocacy in the U.S. Congress.

Each of you -- in the next few days -- can make THE DIFFERENCE for Norman. Voting has already begun by mail. The June 5 election is in your hands. Help Norman's final outreach to primary voters -- talk to your neighbors about Norman and sign up for phone banking.

And please send him a last-minute donation before the June 5 primary.

Sincerely,

Dennis

Made Love, Got War: Norman Solomon on Close Encounters with America’s Warfare State

"The warfare state doesn’t come and go. It can’t be defeated on Election Day," writes media critic Norman Solomon in his new book, Made Love, Got War: Close Encounters with America’s Warfare State. Like it or not, it’s at the core of the United States–and it has infiltrated our very being." Norman Solomon joins us in our firehouse studio to about the book. [includes rush transcript]

From privatized war, we now turn to a discussion of permanent war. "The warfare state doesn’t come and go. It can’t be defeated on Election Day. Like it or not, it’s at the core of the United States–and it has infiltrated our very being." That’s a quote from media critic and best-selling author Norman Solomon’s new book. It’s called "Made Love, Got War: Close Encounters with America’s Warfare State."

The book traces the panic generated by the launch of Sputnik exactly 50 years ago to the current warmongering with Iran. It is the story of the US government’s preoccupation over the past half-century with "the business of killing and being killed."

Norman Solomon is a nationally syndicated columnist and the author of 12 other books including "War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death." He is also the founder and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy.
