I was always troubled by John Kerry's unwillingness to speak out against the war in Iraq. When he was at the Grand Canyon during the campaign and said that he would still vote for the war given everything we know now, it bothered me greatly.

The person who says he's supports a war because he's afraid of being called a coward by saying otherwise is the greatest coward of them all. It's slightly different in Kerry's case. When he said that he still favored the war in Iraq, he appeared to be saying it out of fear that he would be called a flip-flopper if he were to withdraw his support. Given what we now know about the claims of WMD, imminent threat, and the links to Al-Qaida, we were all misled into giving our support to Bush, and we are all justified in withdrawing that support.

We had watch in horror during the entire campaign as Kerry was being psychologically manipulated by Rove. The person we saw wasn't the same person who volunteered for Vietnam. This wasn't the same person who spoke out against Vietnam when he saw that it was wrong. It wasn't the same person who prosecuted the BCCI scandal.

Where is John Kerry? Why isn't he fighting the obvious election fraud? Has has lost the fire in his belly? Does he not want to unconcede because he fears that he will labeled as a "super flip-flopper"? With such evidence of vote fraud, our leaders should be telling us to stand up and fight. Instead, they seem to be telling us to lay down and die.

The most urgent thing of all is that we save our democracy by prosecuting the vote riggers and tearing down the organized vote-rigging infrastructure that the Republicans have built over the past decade. That our candidate wins the presidency in the near-term isn't even what's at stake here. With two stolen elections and the current packing of government with Republican cronies, we're witness the death of America and the rise of fascism. Don't expect a government packed with neo-con fascists to willingly allow fair elections again. It's now or never.

I hope John Kerry proves me wrong. I hope he's fighting hard, but under the radar, for strategic reasons. Again, it's now or never.
