Kucinich visits University,
delivers heartfelt message
The Democratic candidate
appeared at the law school
and EMU on Wednesday
By Beau Eastes
Freelance Reporter
With a seemingly endless passion,
Democratic presidential candidate
Dennis Kucinich brought his message
of a more progressive and responsible
Democratic Party to campus Wednes
day night.
Speaking at a meet-and-greet at
the EMU and to a standing-room
only crowd in the Knight Law Cen
ter, the Ohio congressman under
scored his intent to revive the
Democratic Party.
"Peace is inevitable if we're willing
to work for it," Kucinich said. "This is
the place it begins, here in Oregon."
Kucinich, who conceded that the
Democratic presidential nomination
is locked up by Sen. John Kerry, D
Mass., has committed to spending 27
days in six weeks campaigning for
Oregon delegates to send to the De
mocratic Party's national convention
in Boston. Me hopes to use the Ore
gon primary on May 18 as a message
to the Democratic Party.
"(It's the) obligation of the Demo
cratic Party ... to provide a consistent
alternative," Kucinich said. "It's time
to challenge ourselves to take the
higher path to human unity."
Kucinich's message evoked emo
tion from his audience throughout
the night. Interrupted by numerous
outbursts of applause, Kucinich also
moved one audience member to tears
during his EMU session.
"He's the people's voice," local
Kucinich campaign coordinator Lean
dra Bell-Matson said.
Mona Linstramberg, also a coordi
nator for the Kucinich campaign,
shared similar sentiments.
"Peace is inevitable if
we're willing to work for it.
This is the place it begins,
here in Oregon."

"He's not addressing focus groups,"
she said. "He speaks to the heart."
Kucinich received thunderous ova
tions when he attacked the current ad
ministration's foreign policy in Iraq
and its use of the USA PATRIOT Art in
the United States.
"Fear is the wrong atmosphere to
make a law," said Kucinich, referring
to when the USA PATRIOT Act was
rushed through Congress.
Kucinich was critical of what he re
ferred to as fear tactics used by the Bush
administration to control the public.
"This fear is inconsistent with what
we are as a democracy," he said. "We
cannot protect democratic traditions
in an atmosphere of fear.
"Fear has led us to undermine our
civil liberties, has led us to a corrup
tion of our constitution, has led us to
sweep aside international law, and
has put us in a war for which there is
no moral reason or purpose."
He also urged voters to take action,
arguing that this is a crucial point in
United States history.
"This is a time when we need to be
insisting on truth, insisting on our dem
ocratic traditions, insisting on the pro
tection of our Bill of Rights, insisting on
the protections of international law and
insisting that our government abide by
such laws," Kudnich said.
Area resident Nicki Berlant voiced
her support for the congressman.
"He speaks for the other part of the
party," she said. "He has delegates, so
he has a voice."
Kudnich said that he is proud to be
a congressman, and it is his way of
giving "service to humanity."
"This party has to stand for some
thing — it's gonna have to get people
in a new direction," Kudnich said in
an interview Wednesday. "When any
one of us is aligned with our purpose,
there is an inexhaustible source of en
ergy. Once you're aligned with your
purpose, the energy is always there to
do whatever you need."
Kucinich's tour this week includes
stops in Corvallis, Salem and Glad
stone. He also promised to return to A
Eugene before die May 18th primary. ^
"You never get tired, and you do
everything with a sense of joy," he said.
"It's adually effortless... it's a flow."
