Free Concerts for Kucinich
Music has the power to reach the masses!!!
Remember the 60s! Kucinich's campaign is not just about the presidency but about a larger movement to end the Iraq occupation and take back our country from the greedy and give to the needy.

I am wondering who is organizing the free Kucinich concert in the area?
We must bypass our corrupt,censored media!!

Free concerts are the way to reach the youth, especially those not reading the internet and up on things ya know. The youth are not voting! and yet they will be the ones affected by W's war on peace and prosperity. If they are not drafted, they will have to move to India to get a job.
We must reach out to the youth, and together we can take back our country.
Willie Nelson is speaking out for Dennis:
"I don't really feel like that I have to shut up and not say what I'm thinking because this is, you know, the land of the free," he said. "And we intend to keep it that way."
Tim Reynolds and friends are playing free concerts for Dennis.
even the repubs(James Pinkerton) agree...
"Nonetheless, there was something weirdly interesting about the Kucinich Krew, as I saw them at Keene State, and also, earlier, at the University of New Hampshire, where a Kucinich bongo ensemble pounded away for hours. These folks had energy, even if most of them couldn't -- or wouldn't -- vote on Tuesday, let alone in November.
That energy of theirs, of course, came from music. It's a point made by the late Allan Bloom in his 1987 book, The Closing of the American Mind: if there's one thing that distinguishes young people of the modern era from past eras, it's the ubiquity of music. Two decades ago, Bloom was thinking of the Walkman -- which, of course, has now been augmented by various MP3 players and iPods.
All the campaigns routinely offer some sort of music at the beginning of their events. There's the occasional "Star Spangled Banner," but I've heard Coldplay, Van Halen, Journey, and even hipper-than-thou Outkast. But I've head nothing with the intensity of Kucinich's players."
It is time to revive the revolution! I'm too young to remember but...what happened after the vietnam war? Did the 'pro-war support the troops-let them die' folks ever apologize? Did the peace loving pro-justice protesters just let them get away with their ignorance and hypocricy? They were wrong then, and they are wrong now....and it might not hurt to remind people of this now and then!
The new music revolution is alive and well....

Make info packets that include:
-music cd #1 of kick ass and hard knocking young people's music with lyrics to fast to make out if you are over 30 and awesome album art
-music cd #2 of older more calm and easy going music that inspires and awakens
-saucy flyer for concert
-shitlist of all of Kuciniches hardcore stances that no one can meet or beat. (Medical Marijuana, Abortion, War, Peace, Trade, Economics, Health)
-voter registration card
-volunteer application
-intern application
all this could be fit in a little envelope and GIVEN AWAY with a suggested donation of a dollar or two to cover production costs.
The more info-packets that are passed out, the more people will want to pass them out. The entire success of the packet lies not so much in the quantity of information, but the production quality so an intitial investment of 1 million bucks can get the word out to 500,000 people on a crappy budget allocation for guerrilla marketing alone.
Kucinich has his head in the right place for policy but his marketing director needs to employ the youth not with money but information and fun.
Where are all the kicking parties?!
Where the hell are the video jockeys mixng it up?
Why does he not have a beat playing in the background for his appearances?
Where the hell are the young people!?
A serious campaign with better than nothing numbers running against a bunch of rich jokers will prove to show Kucinich as the last man standing...
That is if the youth are taken as seriously as they take themselves.

This is great. People continually clutch at the youth vote and at the same time throw, the nostalgia from other decades out as an attempt to speak to the youth. You either love the newer generations or you secretly hate them. I sort of hate the bommers, they are still so caught up in how good the 60s were. Please, they were the most placaded generation in recent history, give em ludes, shag carpeting, and a democratic president and a social revolution was contained. If I have to see or hear on kpfa (the voice of the "new" Older left) about one more author who has writen about 1968, I am gonna barf.
All that said, Captian K is alright generally. He is un-electable for one reason only he is a vegan. No american can trust a vegan, it is just too weird. Americans need a meat mutant, someone who is made of meat and bone, someone pulsing with antibiotics and potentially mad cow disease. Someone who knows the glory of bar-b-q, it is the taste of victory.

I'm a Kucinich player hater.
