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.

Viggo Campaigns For Kucinich

Viggo is in New Hampshire today, campaigning for Dennis Kucinich. Wish I could be there..

Read the story HERE

"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."
