Our congressman Norm Dicks is leaving us. He has served us well and will be greatly missed. We are a diverse district with a lot of military activity that will need looking after. Could Dennis Kuccinich fill Norm's shoe? Doubtful because THOSE shoes will never be filled by anyone else!

That said, Congressman Kuccinich will find a great many progressives here and even a sizeable group of Ron Paul supporters who would like to see Kuccinich as his V. P. (love you Congressman Kuccinich but our President will be getting my vote again.) Although I am not overly familiar with the voting demographic of the 6th District, I suspect Dennis Kuccinich could make a good run at being our next Congressman.

I guess I misunderstood the nature of the petition nxylas Mar 2012 #5

IMO, he'd need to move here and get acquainted with local acitivists and causes-- eridani Mar 2012 #2

He's been in my region a lot, and has a local following. Not covered by media, though. freshwest Mar 2012 #3

I'm in that following, and it consists of highly involved progressive activists eridani Mar 2012 #6

Tiny group. I try to bring people in. We are very few. freshwest Mar 2012 #7
