WEBSITE: Birddogging Kerry on war support

[yurbud]

The more I think about this, the more important this kind of action is.


Consider two scenarios:

1. Democrats win one or both houses of Congress in 2006. Given that a large percentage of the Dems have supported the war to one degree or another and nearly all buy into the war on terror shtick and refuse to talk about oil as the agenda in Iraq and pending war in Iran, it is unlikely they will end the war. A more likely scenario is when Nixon took over the White House from LBJ: same song, different verse, but for the grunts sent to die and the Vietnamese on the other end, the result was the same.

2. Democrats lose (or allow election to be stolen) again in 2006. The DC/DLC Democrats are so worried about offending potential corporate donors that they are forgetting to do much to actually appeal to voters, and aren't looking out for our interests in any case. If we expect to win, we have to start cleaning out these assholes who see elected office the way Bush does: as a way to make money for themselves or their friends. I know one of my senators, Dianne Feinstein is doing this--her husband got a rebuilding contract in Iraq.

Her office isn't far from here. Maybe I need to put a sign like this together too.

Young John Kerry: How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake? Bring the Troops Home NOW!
Back in April of 1971, Vietnam veteran John Kerry sat before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee and said the following about the ongoing death trap in Vietnam:

Young Kerry:
"Now we are told that the men who fought there must watch quietly while American lives are lost, so that we can exercise the incredible arrogance of Vietnamizing the Vietnamese. Each day, to facilitate the process by which the United States washes her hands of Vietnam, someone has to give up his life so that the United States doesn't have to admit something that the entire world already knows...that we have made a mistake. We are asking Americans to think about that, because...How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"

Fast Forward to 2006...


Today's John Kerry: Let the Troops Keep dying for a Mistake... Stay the Course in Iraq

Today John Kerry is facing another, very similar death trap for U.S. soldiers - another mistake that the entire world can plainly see. And today's soldiers are becoming uppity, just as Kerry had in the early '70s. Yet today's far more influential Senator John F. Kerry is singing a very different tune for today's soldiers than he sang for his own buddies - because today's John Kerry isn't willing to allow pesky human decency to stand in the way of his political aspirations.



Even though Kerry is on record admitting the war on Iraq was a wrong war, he still refuses to lift a finger to end it.

So our question for the older and wiser John Kerry is this:
Okay, John, so how exactly do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?



*** Birddogging John Kerry every Friday in Boston ***

Each Friday afternoon from 4:30 - 5:30, a dedicated, nonpartisan group of antiwar voters takes this banner to John Kerry's Boston office at One Bowdoin Square (a couple of blocks from City Hall, on Cambridge St.).

All peaceful picketers are welcome, provided that all signs, fliers, buttons, etc., are consistent with NOM's message of Bringing the Troops Home NOW.

Not One More casualty, for the sake of a mistake.
