Dennis Kucinich: “I am a little bit concerned at the outset, as we are starting this debate, about this persistent attack on government…”

On the recordMarch 12, 1998
I am a little bit concerned at the outset, as we are starting this debate, about this persistent attack on government itself. I mean this is our government. This is the government of the people, by the people, and for the people; and I think that these attacks on government that are occurring here ought to be exposed for what they are. They are really attacks on the democratic process itself and on the people's right to self-determination, to have a government, administration, and the Congress have direct control over this government.
