Grandfather Twilight Endorses
Dennis Kucinich for President 2004
Among the Trees 6 pm—In an unprecedented move yesterday the classic
children's book icon, Grandfather Twilight, broke twenty years of silence to endorse
Congressman Dennis Kucinich for President in 2004. "In these extraordinary times we
must act with extraordinary sincerity," he said.
Mr. Twilight joined Alice Walker, Studs Terkel, Wendell Berry, Joanna Macy, Ram Dass, Danny Glover,
Jean Shinoda Bolen and a host of others in support of the Congressman from
Ohio. Reading from a brief prepared statement he said, "This is not only a matter of Wall
Street and Washington, in the Woods our choice for President will be felt for
generations. As Mr. Kucinich says, 'This is the moment.' I stand to show my support for
Humanity, Peace, and the planet. I endorse Dennis Kucinich for President
in 2004."
He went on to surprise everyone by granting an interview. (Deep Forest carries
the complete transcript of the interview by Barbara Helen Berger here.)
Following Grandfather Twilight's example, the creatures of the forest
met to draw up a formal statement of their own. At the signing event the Bear, acting
as spokesbeing, proclaimed all the animals to be in complete agreement. As he boldly
signed the document he went on to say, "Congressman Kucinich is our unanimous choice
for President. Our hopes are common with humankind and the Earth. What we
dream should be taken seriously." (The event is covered by Deep Forest in a pictorial.)
