Kucinich to Formally Announce Presidential Campaign on Three-Day Tour of 11 States, Beginning in Cleveland
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 10, 2003
On October 13 to 15, Congressman Dennis John Kucinich will formally announce his campaign for the presidency at events in 11 states. An additional banquet has been added on the 16th in Washington, D.C.
The first announcement will be made at noon on the 13th in Cleveland City Council Chambers in Cleveland, Ohio. A reception will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in Cleveland in the Ballroom of the Sheraton Hotel. Congressman Kucinich will depart at 1:50 p.m., and hold events in Detroit, Mich.; Manchester, N.H.; and Madison, Wis.; before flying to Albuquerque, N.M., on the evening of the 13th. On October 14, Congressman Kucinich will speak at rallies in Albuquerque, N.M.; Austin, Texas; Oklahoma City, Okla.; Minneapolis, Minn.; and Chicago, Ill.; before flying to St. Louis, Mo. On October 15, Kucinich will speak at events in St. Louis, Mo.; and Des Moines, Iowa.
Congressman Kucinich will make this trip on a private plane, and a limited number of seats are available for the media, but reservations must be made today.
Also on October 13 to 15, Kucinich supporters all over the country will hold house parties to raise funds for the campaign. Building on the success of the house party fundraisers held on the September 21st International Day of Peace, supporters will celebrate the Presidential Campaign Announcement Tour with a new round of parties. Houses decorated with red, white, and blue balloons and banners will host enthusiastic Kucitizens in towns and cities across the country.
Times and places for events on the tour, and local contact info for each event, can be found at http://www.kucinich.us/schedule_announce.htm
Crowds of supporters will greet Kucinich at every stop. "Dharma & Greg" star Mimi Kennedy will be at all but one of the events. In Chicago, author Studs Terkel will speak; his article "Kucinich is the One," in The Nation, May 6, 2002, first brought Kucinich to the attention of many supporters of the campaign. In Minneapolis, local endorsers at the rally will include Minnesota Senate Majority Leader John Hottinger and Senator John Marty. In Albuquerque, New Mexico state officials will offer their endorsements and former Green Party gubernatorial candidate David Bacon will join other Greens in "crossing the Green line" to register as Democrats in order to support Rep. Kucinich in winning the Democratic nomination. In Austin, musician Ani DiFranco and comedian Swami Beyondananda will lend their support.
