Kucinich: In the context of a new conversation

I began my search at Dennis Kucinch for President for the context in which Kucinich frames his issues, determines his priorities. The home page didn't provide the grounding I was looking for, so I went directly to the Issues [synonym: Platform]. On the Issues page, the focal point is:

We have begun a new conversation in America over the purpose of government and its responsibilities to the American people. This Issues Section will provide an introduction to my views. A conversation always involves an exchange of ideas. I welcome and respect your opinions. I would like to hear from you.

So now a beginning context: A new conversation over the purpose of government and its responsibilities to the American people.

Next, I'll read through the forum for 'purpose of government and its responsibilities.
