Kucinich has represented this area more than adequately. Don't blame him for the erradication of federal funding. Blame it on this trillion dollar war of choice in Iraq. I was happy to see him on all of the national presidential debates he was allowed to participate in. Not only did he represent our district, he represented everyone else who doesn't want the Federal Government cowtowing to special interests (i.e., global corporations). He did his job and then some.
