LETTER TO HOWARD DEAN FROM CAROL MIRAKOVE
Dear Dr. Dean and friends:
I have not yet decided who I will vote for in 2004; my favorite among
the democratic candidates is Dennis Kucinich, but given the media's very
sad decision to withdraw from his campaign trail (along with Sharpton's
and Moseley Braun's), he does not have much of a chance to win the
nomination.
Dr. Dean, I am very interested in your candidacy. However I am troubled
by your position that the U.S. should remain in Iraq. I hope you will
consider the position that Kucinich advocates, which is "U.S. out, UN in."
I voted for Nader in 2000 and I don't regret it; Al Gore is a
shareholder of Occidental Petroleum and he supported sanctions against
Iraq throughout his term as VP. Those details, among others, made his
candidacy unacceptable to me. But, like many people, I want to see Bush
lose this next election, and you say a lot of good things, Dr. Dean. I
am glad you opposed the war in Iraq. Please oppose the occupation as well.
Sincerely,
Carol Mirakove
Brooklyn, NY

& here's some compelling media on why we need to fight to get the u.s. out:
