Gulf War Veteran Announces Candidacy for San José City Council

San Jose, CA – February 13, 2006 -- Disabled combat veteran Dennis Kyne is
taking on a new enemy - but this time it’s not on foreign soil and it’s not for
the benefit of a few oil companies. This time around it’s to end political
indifference, fiscal mismanagement and mayoral scandals that have plagued the
city he loves.
Dennis hopes to bring his own style of leadership to San José as he has done
in service to the country. He’s always been a passionate spokesperson for the
truth – even when it’s not popular to speak out. While witnessing thousands of
troops die over the past five years, Dennis felt is was his duty to educate
young people about the dangers of war and exposure to Depleted Uranium
munitions, which remain radioactive for 4.7 billion years. The health effects on
U.S. military and Iraqi civilians are devastating. And he should know…

In addition to serving fifteen years in the U.S. Army (which included the front
lines as a battlefield medic), Dennis also worked on behalf of homeless
veterans, trying to help them find a place to live and the medical treatment
they deserve. While many who served in 1991 are sick and dying from exposure to
DU, the U.S. military currently uses twice the amount on Iraq as they did 12
years ago. That means our sons and daughters (as well as the global environment)
are in immanent danger right now. When people say Support the Troops, Dennis
says it’s more important to Support the Truth.

Dennis also proved his leadership skills when the devastation of Hurricane
Katrina swept into New Orleans. As part of a four person team that raised
$500,000 and hundreds of tons of food for victims, he also helped open up a
functional supply line to southern Louisiana. "We're not counting on the
government to take care of us anymore,” Dennis told reporters. “They've already
proven they won't."

If elected city councilman for District 3 in San José, Dennis wants to achieve
the following;

- Fiscal Restraint with Social Responsibility: According to Dennis, spending
habits are way off mark in San José. “We can’t burn through millions of dollars
to fund a better podium to pontificate from when we live in an area with such
ethnic diversity,” Kyne told reporters this week. “It is estimated that
immigrants from some 16 countries live in this county. There needs to be a lot
more attention on the many issues of concern for our newest Americans.”

- A Downtown for All: Dennis believes that community centers in San José
deserve to be funded well before the salaries of elected officials are
negotiated. “Don’t our children deserve a place to play in peace, free from
toxins, violence and fear of hunger?” Dennis asks. “As the tenth largest city
in America, we have an obligation to do the best we can for others.”

- Other Issues: Dennis promises a plan to address the city’s unemployment rate
and improving job training as well as water run-off and storm drain management.
He also looks forward to teaching peaceful civic responsibility to San José’s
youth and improving police relations within the entertainment district.
