I saw a bit, might have been here, that the Green Party thing is not true.

Irwin Corey clinches it for me.

[I think this is for real. If they think this is going to get DK beyond 1% in the polls, they're even more out of touch than I'd guessed. Click on the link and see some other endorsers, e.g., Patch Adams, Pete Seeger, and Marianne Williamson.]

ENDORSEMENTS FLOODING IN

Dennis Kucinich's presidential campaign has just received endorsements from a number of prominent Americans, including actor and activist Danny Glover, author Howard Zinn, Democratic leader and former Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate and former head of the NFL players' union Ed Garvey, Founder of the School of the Americas Watch Father Roy Bourgeois, Co-Founder of Global Exchange Kevin Danaher, the American Vegetarians, and Comedian Professor Irwin Corey.

The Kucinich campaign has also just been endorsed in the first primary state, New Hampshire, by the New Hampshire Green Party, and has also received the endorsement of the Kent County, Mich., Greens.

Ed Garvey published this column today in "Capital Times" <http://www.madison.com/captimes/opinion/column/guest/59911.php>

These endorsers join a growing list, available at <http://www.kucinich.us/wesupportdennis.htm>

DENNIS A LEADER ON GUN CONTROL Last Sunday, prior to the candidates' debate in Detroit, Kucinich was the only candidate to accept an invitation from a Detroit community group, Save Our Sons and Daughters, and meet with them to learn about gun violence in the city. Dennis raised the issue in the debate, as he had promised the group he would. The next day, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, together with the Million Mom March, commended Kucinich and Sen. John Kerry "for Standing up to the NRA." <http://www.jointogether.org/gv/news/alerts/reader/0>,2061,567390,00.html

Meanwhile, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence is calling Kucinich and Rep. Dick Gephardt "leaders in the fight to rid America's streets of military-style assault weapons once and for all," recognizing them for cosponsoring a bill to renew and strengthen the assault weapon ban. <http://www.candidatesonguns.org>
