No such thing as wasted vote
Found it through viggo-works.com which credited to dandelionpress
If you find yourself agreeing with Dennis Kucinich, but are thinking of voting for more electable candidates in the Democractic Primaries, please hear Viggo out. It is worth listening to him urging you to vote your conscience.
I know I will

Viggo's comment from Perceval Press

When a television network has the power to decide which candidates are "worthy" of addressing the American people, it robs the American people of their most precious right to the free flow of information and dissenting points of view. I am an artist mostly known for acting in movies, but I am also a citizen and a voter who resents the control that big money, big media, and entrenched political interests have in deciding what I should see, what I should hear, and what I should be allowed to think. ABC and other media censoring Dennis Kucinich- and others legitimately running for the office of President of the United States- by not allowing them to be part of televised debates is, in my opinion, an outrageous manipulation of and disservice to the public, as well as a criminal misuse of public airwaves. If you agree, please make your objections known to ABC and other media outlets similarly restricting public speech and political information. Thank you,
Viggo Mortensen.
Viggo's day with Kucinich
Can't really see Viggo but can hear him speak. Listen to his take on Chuck Norris at the end. Love that Viggo.

Another piece about Viggo's help for Kucinich

From New York Observer:
The Fellowship: Viggo Stand With Dennis Kucinich
by Choire Sicha | January 6, 2008The actor Viggo Mortensen was so ticked off by the exclusion of Dennis Kucinich from last night's debates that he got on the red eye to New Hampshire. He stood on a table with the Democratic candidate in the storefront headquarters in Concord, N.H., this afternoon, and spoke softly about the debates. "You have four people up there, no disrespect to any of them, who are cherrypicking from what Dennis is talking about."
"If you're going to steal from Dennis and not let him be on TV, then steal all of it...."Read the story HERE

Viggo Campaigns For Kucinich

"His decision to come to New Hampshire was prompted in large part by ABC's decision to exclude Kucinich from last night's Democratic Presidential debate.
"When a television network has the power to decide which candidates are 'worthy' of addressing the American people, it robs the American people of their most precious right to the free flow of information and dissenting points of view," Mortensen said. "I am an actor, but I am also a citizen and a voter who resents the control that big money, big media, and entrenched political interests have in deciding what I should see, what I should hear, and what I should be allowed to think."
