  <br />
  <br /> To clarify;
  <br />
  <br /> Kucinich supports a universal national single-payer health care =
system which is
  <br /> the position of the Green Party platform.
  <br />
  <br /> No other Democratic or Republican candidate supports our positio=
n, which I
  <br /> understand was the position of the Democratic Party platfom from=
 the time of
  <br /> Harry Truman until Bill Clinton was nominated for President in 1=
992. Please
  <br /> correct me if I'm wrong. I feel that what was once a majority po=
sition in the
  <br /> Democratic Party has been swept away in the Party's movement to =
the right.

  <br /> &gt; &gt; If Karen Kubby isn't on this list, would someone ask h=
er to share her
  <br /> &gt; &gt; caucus experiences? I'm trying to visualize a juggler =
at the moment when
  <br /> &gt; &gt; she has an A and a Z in the air with DEF in hand. When=
 fatigue begins to
  <br /> &gt; &gt; take its toll, which set of letters will be the first =
to fall? Will there
  <br /> &gt; &gt; ever be a mid-air meeting/collision, or is the juggler=
 such a master of
  <br /> &gt; &gt; her
  <br /> &gt; &gt; craft that there will always be uniform separation?
