Tonight I gathered with a packed house at BW 3's in Medina County a large part of Ohio's bellwether congressional district.
Debate winner: Senator John Kerry. You don't even have to take my word for it; take the word of the decidedly partisan crowd watching "our misleader," stutter and stammer through answers - seemingly trying to cover up his lies of the past. What a tangled web we weave...
Yes, lies. Maybe Senator Kerry can't say it, but I will...
I have been saying it, lies, while I organized peace protests against this President over 20 times in the past 3 years. And I will say it from the well of the United States Congress.
When Senator Kerry voted to authorize force, he voted to give the President a loaded gun - not to shoot ourselves in the foot with it.
(Got that quote from here, and I use it on the stump proudly)
Look, the war in Iraq was a mistake. That's it. Dangerous Saddam, WMD, sanctuary for terrorists, word of a madman...
The President can say what he wants about this, but facts remain
He is out of touch.
He is a failure on all counts (where do you want me to start)
He lied to the American people about the reasons for war with Iraq.
We need him gone.
And we need those that vote with him 96% of the time, like my opponent gone as well.
So tonight, with one hour to go before the FEC deadline:
We need to support John Kerry
And if you don't mind me saying, we need to support anti-war candidates willing to stand up for the people, like me.
Your support has made this campaign. For the first time in over a decade my opponent has radio ads, started a website, come home early from conventions to campaign -
That is your doing. You are the reason why he can't keep giving money to people like Katherine Harris (and he has). You are the reason he can't travel the country raising money for those that perpetuate hate (on civil rights and around the globe). And you are the reason the halls of Congress will have another Representative willing to listen and interact with the backbone of this country, the people.
Please continue your support.
Jeff
