Sitting Down With: Congressman Dennis Kucinich
By Julie Deife
War has made heroes of many, including John McCain, Eisenhower, Patton and FDR. Peace has made heroes of very few. A Presidential candidate in 2004, Congressman Dennis Kucinich from Ohio’s 10th District is walking and talking the path of peace, most notably in his outspoken support in creating a Cabinet level Department of Peace and his recent sponsorship of House Joint Resolution 55 which calls for an immediate cease fire and withdrawal plan from Iraq. Running late out of a meeting with the Syrian Ambassador to the House floor for a vote, the Congressman picked up the phone to talk about his plans for peace.
Julie: Thank you for taking my call.
Congressman Kucinich: Sure, go ahead.
Julie: With the proposed Department of Peace, there is possible overlap amongDepartments of Health, Education, Defense etc, in areas such as domestic violence, child abuse and so forth. How do you see people giving up turf among bureaucracies, to what might be considered another bureaucracy?
Congressman Kucinich: There’s no organized national approach to domestic violence, spousal abuse, child abuse, violence in the school, racial violence, violence against gays – any of these problems. The Department of Peace would have an integrated organized approach and help to further empower all groups that are currently doing that work. We would try to work together on the disparate programs that are now operating, giving them more depth, more reach, more funding and make it happen so that it is the kind of structure that would facilitate resources from Washington to local communities and school districts.
