WILLIE ON THE AIR
Willie Nelson's radio ads supporting Dennis for President will air this week in Iowa. Besides endorsing the candidate, the ads also advertise Willie's Labor Day benefit concert in Des Moines. The radio spots are running on a number of Iowa stations, will expand to more stations in Iowa and then to other states.

You can listen to the ads on our Willie Nelson page:

DEAN SAYS: "I'M NOT YOUR GUY"
Again distancing himself from a progressive agenda, Howard Dean was quoted on healthcare reform in today's New York Times: "My plan is not reform -- if you want to totally change the healthcare system, I'm not your guy." Dean advocates incremental changes that leave insurance giants in the center of healthcare.

By contrast, Kucinich supports a commonsense plan of national health insurance for all -- a proven success in industrial democracies far less wealthy than our country. Kucinich says that only by eliminating the waste, bureaucracy and profiteering of insurance companies, can everyone be covered -- a sentiment echoed by Physicians for a National Health Program.

Incremental change over the years has left 40 million Americans uninsured and millions more underinsured -- a failed approach, says legendary public health physician and Kucinich endorser Quentin Young: "You can't leap an abyss in 2 jumps." For more on the Kucinich plan:

KUCINICH ON THE AIR
Congressman Kucinich's speech at the recent event hosted by Sen. Tom Harkin in Iowa will air on C-SPAN this coming Sunday night, as part of "Road to the White House." It's scheduled for 6:30pm and 9:30pm Eastern and Pacific. Check local listings. Spread the word.

Tomorrow, he will discuss issues of war, peace, economic justice and sustainability at California's Commonwealth Club, a speech that will be heard on public radio stations in the coming weeks. Stay tuned to

QUOTE OF THE DAY
After President Bush's news conference, Kucinich commented: "The President failed to reestablish the credibility of his Administration. At this moment of crisis, while the lives of America's sons and daughters are on the line in Iraq, the American public deserves the truth, not spin."
