Democractic candidate for president Congressman Dennis Kucinich's will continue his ten day tour of New Hampshire this week, according to a new campaign update video posted on YouTube. The update described Kucinich's activities in New Hampshire last week, where he talked about his efforts to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. It also provided a schedule of Kucinich's upcoming appearances in the Granite State.

According the update the latest polls show support for Kucinich increasing among primary voters. It said that the Congressman drew enthusiastic crowds at campaign stops across New Hampshire last week.

Congressman Kucinich held a press conference in New Hampshire to discuss House Resolution 333. The bill, which he sponsored, calls for the impeachment of vice president Dick Cheney. He was joined by State Rep Betty Hall, a member of the State of New Hampshire House of Representatives. Hall recently sought to introduce a resolution supporting the impeachment of Cheney before the state's legislative body. She has also endorsed Kucinich's bid for the presidency.

Kucinich also held a book signing event at the River Run Bookstore in Portsmouth. Kucinich shared passages from his new book, The Courage to Survive.

At another event in Dover New Hampshire Kucinich discussed the importance of protecting the U.S. Constitution. "If impeachment is off the table you know what else is off the table? The United States Constitution is off the table," he said.

The Congressman also held a similar event at the University of New Hampshire. That event was sponsored by the UNH Students for Kucinich. Student volunteers remained on campus the day before Thanksgiving to make the event a success.

Kucinich then traveled to the North Country to highlight his plans for helping rural communitities.

Dennis Kucinich will be continuing his ten day tour of New Hampshire this week. He will attend events in Concord, Hanover, Hampton, Manchester New Durham, and Plymouth according to an online campaign calendar.

Kucinich also appeared on camera at the end of the campaign update video.

"You can see that people are concerned that we are losing our country. We're our country to lies, to war, to debt. And people want, are waiting for a leader to step forward who says that, and this is the truth, 'We are going move towards peace. We are going to repair our relationship with the world community. And we are going to start focusing on jobs here at home and healthcare for everyone.' And when they start to see the vision of the America that can be they are on board. The people really want to reclaim their country," he said.

    I like Dennis. I do not find him smart about impeachment. Feingold dropped that one rather quickly for some reason. It might have to do with GWB choosing wisely in his Cabinet and Supreme Court justices. Not wisely for we, the people, but wisely for him. Kucinich could do we, the people a favor by dropping out of the race and campaigning for Obama. Too many votes for corrupt government in Iowa for my taste. With people applauding Romney who speaks highly of the GWB presidency and invasion of Iraq, I see no hopes for the democracy unless we get the right Democrat elected. I do not know if Obama is better than Dennis, but Dennis was only able to attract a cult like following. I would much prefer to see him with Obama as Vice Pres than Hillary or Edwards in either position. It is good that he is continuing on the campaign trail so people will learn more about him.
