It started with coffee and conversation and ended with a gathering of locals to hear about what Rep. Dennis Kucinich would accomplish if he's elected president.

Kucinich made two stops in Sandwich as part of a series of town hall-style meetings he is conducting throughout New Hampshire.

Kucinich, joined by his wife Elizabeth, stopped at Mocha Rizing, a cafe and local art showcase in Center Sandwich to meet people before going to the Benz Community Center for a town hall style meeting.

"It's not just at the holiday season that we should be contemplating peace on earth," he said to the large group that gathered at the community center. "If we believe in human unity then we should come to understand the importance of leaders who stand for peace."

Kucinich told of being one of seven children, going through periods of poverty where the family would live in a car. He cited this as an example of how the basic needs of people needed to be considered by a president. He supports a full-employment economy, expanded financial aid for college, and changes to infrastructure and energy reduction that could create more jobs

2. No thanks. Apparently, he's been making alliances with Ron Paul on the right...

I was a Kucinich supporter until I read that.


Ron Paul is the favored candidate of the racist right.

3. No...

He and Paul are about the only two who consistantly vote against power grabs by the administration. They come from different sides of the issues, but have been right on those things they agree with.
