Apparently numbers mean something to Conman Dennis Kucinich, and based on this bit of information:

From CQ Today: Kucinich Looks for Symbolism in the Numbers — And Usually Finds It

Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich’s impeachment measure against Vice President Dick Cheney was stamped H Res 333 when it was filed with the House clerk’s office April 25.

It wasn’t planned that way, but the resolution stamp matched the last three digits of the number of U.S. troops who had died in the Iraq War — 3,333 — as of that day.

That fact was not lost on war protesters outside the Rayburn House Office Building that day. They pointed it out because they happened to be wearing pink tape bearing the number 3333.

“We didn’t do that on purpose. That was just complete luck or coincidence,” said Kucinich spokeswoman Natalie Laber.

Kucinich, D-Ohio, often does wait to introduce bills, though, until he’s certain they will be stamped with some number that he considers significant, or he simply likes.

Earlier this year, for instance. his measure calling for immediate withdrawal from Iraq drew HR 1234, which he turned into what he considers a catchy little phrase.

“1 … 2 … 3 … 4, that’s the bill to end the war,” he said at the time.

His proposal to create a Department of Peace was also given a number he waited for — HR 808.

“808 actually doesn’t have any significance,” Laber said. “He just thought it was a good number.”
