I know many here will disagree, and find this harsh, but I sent the following email to John Kerry today.
"I read in the NY Times that Joe Lockhart and others want John Kerry to assume a leadership position in the Democratic Party, and he could use his e-mail list to build an organization like DFA. Well, as Tony Soprano would say "forget about it".
Senator Kerry let us down. He said he had our back, he said he would fight for us, he said he would make sure every vote counted. He formed the GELAC fund and collected money for recounts and challenges. He formed an army of lawyers, and had an army of volunteers who stood ready to fight for their country wherever needed. And then he walked away.
John Kerry is not a leader. He is a candidate. And, we need a leader. Mr. Kerry apparently wanted to spare the country a fight over an obviously flawed election. Please spare us from another failed fight for the future.
Mr. Kerry now has two choices. He can step up and lead those of us who are trying to figure out how this election was stolen yet again, and how to fix our electoral process for the future. Or, he can quietly go back and serve the people of Massachusetts for as long as they will have him, and release the GELAC fund to those willing to put up a fight.
Make a choice, but do not expect our gratitude for promises made and not kept."
