WILLIE NELSON ENDORSES KUCINICH FOR PRESIDENT

One of the most beloved figures in popular music and culture has endorsed the populist presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich.

"It's an honor," commented Rep. Kucinich, "to earn the support of a man who has come to symbolize the best values of America."

Willie Nelson was charged with tax evasion and found himself in hot water in 1990 when the IRS seized the singer's assets, including his 44-acre ranch and house to recoup some of the $16.7 million he owed in penalties and interest from tax evasion charges. The IRS charged that Nelson owed $1.6 million in back taxes for 1972 through 1978. Later, in May 1988, the IRS said he owed another $9.4 million for 1979 through 1983.
