The Kucinich Presidential campaign has unveiled its first television commercial -- "No more blood for oil" -- and is previewing it with supporters and friends on the campaign website
http://kucinich.us/node/4580/play and on popular Internet sites, including YouTube and MySpace.
Using the all-too-familiar sights and sounds of a gas pump ringing up the higher and higher cost of filling up the tank, the pump then begins registering even higher and more disturbing numbers: dead and wounded U.S. soldiers; innocent Iraqis killed, wounded, and displaced; the staggering profits of oil companies; potential profits from "stealing Iraq's oil;" and U.S. tax dollars spent on the war in Iraq. It concludes with the message: "No more blood for oil."
Kucinich, D-OH, is the only Presidential candidate who voted against the original war authorization in 2002 and every war-funding appropriation since. He recently delivered an unprecedented hour-long speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives documenting that an Administration "benchmark" buried deep in the recent war supplemental appropriation would actually allow international oil companies to privatize Iraq's oil industry and gain control of upwards of 80% of Iraq production and reserves.
