Broadcasting pioneer and legend Tom Snyder, who passed away Sunday, July 29, came to Cleveland in 1978 to interview then-Mayor Dennis Kucinich. It was "classic" Tom Snyder, and we offer this video to pay tribute to him and to the style and approach that set him apart from other broadcasters. "Tom Snyder was an innovator and a very serious journalist who really mastered the in-depth analytical interview," Congressman Kucinich said on hearing of Snyder's passing. "He was very funny, he was bold…it was an honor to be on his show. He asked tough questions, and I will miss him, " said Kucinich . We all will. And here's an example of why. Click here for the video

Today as the Democratic leadership celebrates the passage of HR 1591, Dennis and I are in mourning. We mourn the deaths of those who have passed and those whose lives are now on the line, both in the military and civilian Iraqis. We mourn the destruction, the ecocide. We mourn with families in Iraq and the US who will see more death and devastation. We mourn the callous and calculated political spin cloaking the Congress's hawkish support of war with the rhetoric of peace.

Kucinich Wants to Hear From the American People
"I don't think that it's wise for the House and the Congress, for co-equal branches of government, to essentially give the President carte blanche in his decision making by saying no matter what you do, impeachment is off the table."

Federal lawmakers took aim at oil companies and service station owners Friday, accusing them of cheating customers by ignoring fuel's tendency to expand with higher temperatures. U.S. motorists could pay an extra $1.5 billion this summer because of it, they said.
It is a little-known industry secret that the amount of gasoline you put in your tank when you fill up in the summer is less than the amount in the winter, in terms of weight and energy content," said Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio), who conducted a congressional hearing on the issue Friday.
