kerry insists all votes will be counted regardless of the election's outco

This message was emailed to Kerry contributors stating that: "Regardless of the outcome of this election, once all the votes are counted -- and they will be counted -- we will continue to challenge this administration."


Dear ,

I want to thank you personally for what you did in the election -- you rewrote the book on grassroots politics, taking control of campaigns away from big donors. No campaign will ever be the same.

You moved voters, helped hold George Bush accountable, and countered the attacks from big news organizations such as Fox, Sinclair Broadcasting, and conservative talk radio.

And your efforts count now more than ever. Despite the words of cooperation and moderate sounding promises, this administration is planning a right wing assault on values and ideals we hold most deeply. Healthy debate and diverse opinion are being eliminated from the State Department and CIA, and the cabinet is being remade to rubber stamp policies that will undermine Social Security, balloon the deficit, avoid real reforms in health care and education, weaken homeland security, and walk away from critical allies around the world.

Regardless of the outcome of this election, once all the votes are counted -- and they will be counted -- we will continue to challenge this administration. This is not a time for Democrats to retreat and accommodate extremists on critical principles -- it is a time to stand firm.

I will fight for a national standard for federal elections that has both transparency and accountability in our voting system. It's unacceptable in the United States that people still don't have full confidence in the integrity of the voting process.

I ask you to join me in this cause.

And we must fight not only against George Bush's extreme policies -- we must also uphold our own values. This is why on the first day Congress is in session next year, I will introduce a bill to provide every child in America with health insurance. And, with your help, that legislation will be accompanied by the support of hundreds of thousands of Americans.

There are more than eight million uninsured children in our nation.

That's eight million reasons for us to stay together and fight for a new direction. It is a disgrace that in the wealthiest nation on earth, eight million children go without health insurance.

Normally, a member of the Senate will first approach other senators and ask them to co-sponsor a bill before it is introduced -- instead, I am turning to you. Imagine the power of a bill co-sponsored by hundreds of thousands of Americans being presented on the floor of the United States Senate. You can make it happen. Sign our "Every Child Protected" pledge today and forward it to your family, friends, and neighbors:

This is the beginning of a second term effort to hold the Bush administration accountable and to stand up and fight for our principles and our values. They want you to disappear; they are counting on that. I'm confident you will prove them wrong, and you will rewrite history again.

Here is what I want you to know. I understand the strength, commitment, and passion that are at the core of what we built together -- and I am determined to make our collective energy and organization a force to be reckoned with in the weeks and months ahead.

Let's roll up our sleeves and get back to work for our country.

Thank you,



John Kerry

especially the part about the votes being counted. Souns like Kerry still thinks there's hope and the election isn't over yet!

I got the same e-mail and, well...I have to believe because nothing else is going my way. :)

i've been getting tired of defending his sorry ass! :p


to all you kerry bashers, i say....



ppppffffffft!


i knew it wasn't over yet. more and more voter 'glitch' and fraud stories hitting the mainstream media... this is not time to give up, although i must admit i'm on the verge myself. we can't. we just can't. as long as there is a vote to be counted, we can't give in to the negativity! look at all the good, decent and intelligent people we have working for us! if for no one else, we need to stay strong for bev! kerry never struck me as the kind of guy to come out with boxing gloves and hard words. this simple and dignified letter is enough.

unless he unconcedes. People here are still upset.

"I've conceded b/c I was told by everyone in whom I trust that there is no way to overcome the OHIO recount, but then I later learn that there was fraud, and the evidence piles up. The media scoffs at the mere idea and calls such folks tinfoil hatters. The same media that ousted Dean for a pep rally scream.

I realize I 've been ripped off and that Rove has done the unimaginable -- turned democracy into fascism over four short years. The country is settled down and recooperating from exhaustion and stress. My supporters -- the majority of them-- don't think there was a stolen election. To explain all this to them would seem desperate attempt to get in the white house and an oppurtunity to be called a flip flopper, again.

I will not allow my anger to over come me, I will fight back when enough support is there. I will make a video on another issue and emphasize the vote scandal subliminally for those who also know. I will beckon those people to stand firm and keep this issue alive. "



Or something like that. If he knows what we know, he must want to kill someone, I know I do. Figuratively speaking, of course.

Also, I feel very strongly about Kerry's video

http://www.johnkerry.com/petition/everychild.php

has no staff who can analyze the data about the controversy, can't trust or go anywhere for the NEWS.

And we listen to or read high paid useless crap like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sure is hard enough to present the case with the data still pouring in to the man on the street, but the indolent shrugging incompetence, the lazy-faire myth makers sitting uselessly like Humpty Dumpty on a wall of slanted national media, is criminal.

It is hard work Keith writes sardonically. The comparison to the Great Pretender is all too apt.

ALL the great crises of our time demand research, not fingering through think tank dumbed down slickies and interviews with their cheesy conmen.

Kids in high school know the science, know the computers, know the math these self made morons Left Behind when they climbed their tawdry pedestals of treasonous shame.

So we labor while they snooze into the national microphones. While the nation burns and flakes away, while the screams of innocents fade into the loam of Iraq and elsewhere.

They damn themselves by silence.

After all who else knows/cares about all this? Thank Gods!
We must support him more than ever. Remember anyone can log on here!
I'm ready to fight, and I'm old/wise?

Kerry blew it big time. Too little, too late.

He quit when he shouldn't have and now we're stuck with The Chimp for four more years.

If something comes out of this, I'd be happy as hell, but don't get your hopes up.
