Eileen Dannemann, the director of the National Coalition of Organized Women, announced today that NCOW will back Dennis Kucinich as the Democratic Party's presidential nomination. NCOW is a coalition that has provided issue-related support for activist groups and politicians since 1992. "Dennis Kucinich is a man of principle and the one candidate unlikely to compromise," Dannemann said. "Compromise is only necessary when we polarize around positions rather than seek out the underlying principle. Dennis Kucinich is a man of principles."
Overcoming the rift between what we love and what we think
Dannemann said that the "most disturbing and potentially debilitating concept" to the success of the Kucinich campaign is "our spirit of compromise." We love him with our hearts but we want Bush out of the White House. So, maybe we should vote for someone else…someone we think will have a better chance of winning. This split between the heart and the head must be settled at once! In our personal lives as well as in our political ones…it is in the rift between what we love to do and what we think we must do in order to achieve a desired outcome, that we sabotage ourselves.
Overcoming concern about the outcome
Dannemann refers to scripture in the Parable of the Seeds: "It is not for you to concern yourselves with the outcome. Do not be attached to the fruit of the action. It is sufficient for you to cast your seed with full attention and consciousness. If you stop to reflect on how it is going, you create a gap in the flow of the force of your sowing." (Paraphrase, Rabbi Yeshua, Nag Hammadi Library).
Kucinich can win against Bush
Dannemann is convinced that Kucinich can win against Bush - "If our collective intention and attention remains unwavering, strong and one pointed, we can participate in a quantum leap, a sudden phase transition that will be described in the history books as a miracle". Dannemann also emphasized that the outdated "left/right political polarity has distracted us from the Truth entirely too long. There is no light at the end of the left/right tunnel."
Dennis Kucinich is a man of principle
Dannemann explained that the key to progress as a society is principle. "Principle never changes, never goes out of season, never offends and is never wrong. Dennis Kucinich is a man of unwavering principles," Dannemann said. "Only a man of principle can lead us towards principled thinking. Dennis Kucinich is such a man."
Homeland Security Act violates the American principle of freedom
Dannemann also denounced the Homeland Security Act as fear-based. It violates the American principle of freedom. "It flies in the face of all theories of democracy and self-government. Homeland security is for the sheep who needs fencing; the invalid who needs watching. This is not America! America feels free! Dennis Kucinich stands for the Spirit of America, invulnerable, inviolable, established in high principle.
Furthermore, NCOW asserts, "the continuing assault on our planet, the lack of respect and the lack of international environmental consideration by our Corporate ruled government has gone on long enough. Dennis Kucinich says he can change that," Dannemann says, "We believe he will."
