My second post was posted on that site. My first post was not posted on that site. I've run into this before with the Jews for the Preservation of Firearms ownership. I sent two submissions and they rejected the better one (as far as my opinion is concerned).

What did pass the moderators at the Kucinich site was not meant to be published if that effort is compared to the first post I sent. In the first post I sent something that I didn't save. That is fine. There is a whole lot more at stake than my own learning.
Here is something relevant to my post to Kucinich that may or may not show up on his site:

Note these words:
Putin’s challenge to the US dollar is particularly worrisome. He emphasizes the inherent unfairness of the current system, which relies almost entirely on the dollar and which has an extremely negative effect on many smaller countries’ economies and financial reserves.
The facts concerning how a monopoly control of a vital economic resource such as currency or the flow of oil (both are currencies) is currency. Is that confusing?
The facts are like bundles of dollars. The facts are like barrels of oil.
If the facts are false or 'half true', then, people may end up transferring their hard earn prosperity right out of their children's mouths and right into the hands of the people who happen to be manipulating the flow of the facts.
The flow of the facts, like my post, is being controlled.
Get it?
Enter stage left - competition.
Ron Paul will abolish the IRS and The Federal Reserve System. That is a true 'Free Market" competitive move that will open up the people of the world into a state of liberty. That is a big chuck of ideas all contained within a few words.
How about some reinforcing data?
Go back to the link on Putin:
Putin’s remarks are a direct attack on the dollar and its position as the de facto international currency. He imagines a world where goods and resources are traded in rubles or “baskets of currencies”--not just greenbacks. This would create greater parity between the countries and, hence, a more even distribution of power.
Putin's vision is a clear threat to America ’s ongoing economic dominance. Already, in the last few months, Norway , Iran , Syria , UAE, Kuwait , and Venezuela have announced that they are either cutting back on their USD reserves or converting from the greenback to the euro or a “basket of currencies”. Dollar hegemony is at the very center of American power, and yet, the downturn is visible everywhere. If the dollar loses its place as the world’s “reserve currency”; the US will have to pay-down its monstrous current account deficit and live within its means. America will lose the ability to simply print fiat money and use it in exchange for valuable resources and manufactured goods. Putin is now openly challenging the monetary-system that provides the flow of oxygen to the American superpower.
Can he carry it off?
What is the worry? Who is worried? Take any person currently being subjected to torture and ask that person if he is worried about Putin offering the world a currency that will compete against the dollar?
Here is an angle of view that you may have sympathy for:
When I look, because I do look, at toddlers with limbs shot off because the dollars that I use are used to finance the people responsible for toddlers limbs being shot off, then, I am tortured. My soul is tortured. You may not be sympathetic to either me or the toddlers with their limbs shot off. I am inclined to agree (be sympathetic) to anyone who cannot stand to look (it is too painful, it is torturous, it is terrible).
That being noted, and said, there are those who do look, who are seeing the need to do something, anything, some little thing to help reduce the flow of lies, the flow of bombs, and the current flow of misery that is currently happening now.
When you have a choice to use a currency (Ron Paul's, Dennis Kucinch's, Putin's, Chavez's, or any 'basket of currencies', other than the dollar) think.
Think about the flow of current.
Like this:
You work.
Your wealth goes to George Bush.
George Bush gives your money to Dick Cheney.
Dick Cheney pays off his employees who are making bombs and rebuilding the damage caused by those bombs.
Everything is flowing according to plan.
Coffins are flowing from Iraq to America.
Limbs are flowing from toddlers bodies; making piles.
More reinforcement needed?

GIANT pallets loaded with cash amounting to more than $4 billion (£2 billion) and weighing a total of 363 tons were sent to Baghdad aboard military planes shortly before the United States gave control back to Iraqis, it has been revealed to Congress.
Think in terms of current flow. You work. You create the stuff that flows. False currency steals your wealth.
Some people should be worried about the competition. Are you worried?
