BURLINGTON'S GDA ENDORSES KUCINICH

BURLINGTON FREE PRESS 7 January 2007 -
BURLINGTON -- Burlington's Green Democratic Alliance has officially endorsed Democratic candidate and six-term congressman from Ohio Dennis Kucinich for president in Tuesday's primary.

The group met Sunday to endorse their candidate.

Members of the Green Democratic Alliance say they chose Kucinich for a number of reasons. Among them, Kucinich voted against authorizing a war in Iraq and against funding its continuation, and Kucinich voted against the Patriot Act.

"I believe Kucinich is the candidate America's been waiting for," said Owen Mulligan, director of the local Green Democratic Alliance.
