"Kucitizens"
Take Their Message to the Freeway Overpasses
On Saturday, February 7th
In Los Angeles and accross the Nation,
many tens-of-thousands of people saw Kucinich banners hanging on overpasses
and in public places on Saturday February 7th. Kucinich volunteers
took to the overpasses and other public places to get out Kucinich's
message. When asked about reasons they are out on the street supporting
Kucinich, volunteers refer to Kucinich's plan to get out of Iraq in
90 days, support of single-payer health care and spending more money
on domestic needs rather than on military along with other important
issues.

Santa Monica, California
"Kucitizens hung banners throughout
the city over the weeking in a variety of places..." - Santa
Monica Daily News, Feb 8th.
It was great to drive through Santa Monica and see
Kucinich banner after banner!! Some of us went directly to designated
overpasses or public locations and many of us met at a pick-up location
to get banners and directions. Approximately 15 banners were displayed
with about 36 volunteers. This doesn't include volunteers that participated
in other surrounding areas including Encino, Alhambra, and Thousand
Oaks. If Dennis Kucinich wasn't running, I wouldn't be out here campaigning
for any of the candidates. Others are welcome to join in our upcomming
banner events, visit www.sfv4dennis.org/banners

Zack and I held up a banner from about 12 noon until 3pm at the Santa
Monica Promenade location and I think it had a huge impact. We talked
to several people, but mostly practically everyone read the banner and
would even turn around as they were walking to read it. We started by
the Farmers Market on Arizona and 3rd, where the police did hassle us
a bit but just made us move to the sidewalk area. We stayed there for
about 30 min. then when we saw a bunch of Dean supporters come out with
their measly little handheld signs to compete with us (ha!) we decided
to moved down the promenade. We found a great spot on the corner of Santa
Monica and 3rd with even more pedestrian traffic plus car traffic as well
and stood there for another hour then for the last hour walked down to
Broadway and 3rd for pedestrian and traffic exposure. Overall I would
say it made an important impact and I think we should be doing this every
weekend. I have a great banner and would welcome anyone interested in
helping for the same time this coming Saturday. - Susan Nowak |

Santa Rosa Pictures
We displayed the banner Santa Rosa
in the downtown Corby Avenue Corridor over U.S. 101. Over-all I would
say the experience was fantastic. We had from 6 to 9 people up there at
any one time waving to the people in the cars passing underneath. I would
say that we had many honks and waves from people. but as you can imagine
there are always those who are of a different view and mentality and that
is to be expected. But I would have to rate the response from the people
on a scale from one to ten as a 6.5. We calculated that somewhere between
10,000 and 11,000 cars passed underneath us in the two hour period. We
reached a lot of people in a very short period of time.
