ALBANY, N.Y., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Professional Fire Fighters from across the State of New York recently gathered in Binghamton for their Annual Convention. By a huge plurality they endorsed John Kerry for President.



"Firefighters for Truth" sure beats "Swiftboat Liars."

Take heart, America. Help IS on the way!

11. THIS Uniformed Firefighters Association?
http://ufalocal94.org/652_main/bloomberg_ad_8_04.html





"Click HERE to view the above mobile billboards. These mobile billboards will be traveling around NYC while the RNC is in session"

http://ufalocal94.org/news_stories/ufa_in_media.html

"O'Leary and representatives of the Uniformed Firefighters Association would not reveal any special displays envisaged for Bloomberg and the national media. On Friday, however, the UFA's Web site posted copies of rolling billboards that will be towed around the city during the convention.
The two uniformed services plan to appear in their trademark T-shirts - blue for police officers and yellow for firefighters.
Those colors are the same they have been wearing for almost a month as they picketed the Garden while it was being prepared for the convention, and then moved on to "pop-up" demonstrations, where they showed up at public appearances by Bloomberg."

http://ufalocal94.org/news_stories/nynewsday/nynd_08_29_04.html

They wouldn't be trying to sandbag Bloomburg with Junior Flyboy's appearance, would they? You know the thing is, Chimpy is dumb enough to pop up in front of a camera with a "Firefighters for a fair contract" shirt while Cheney is speaking.

10. Endorsements
I wish someone would ask Gulianni if he asked for permission, from the families, to invoke the image of bodies falling out of the towers.

example:

Hi, I know your loved one died a horrible death falling from a hundred stories but do you mind if I invoke that image for political purposes?

He's a lowlife. He's leveraged his "hereo" status nicely with this and his shilling for the drug companies........scum

12. Rudy also lied BIGTIME about John Kerry. Kerry was working to shut down
terrorists and their funding back when he was investigating BCCI. The GOP administration and their henchmen were working to stop Kerry's investihgations into their funding because so many of their own operations were part of the terror networks and doing business with the same dirty banks.

Rudy lied. Kerry was the FIRST lawmaker to go after terrorism and link it to our national security and the Republicans did everything they could to stop him.
