Kerry foreign policy experience impresses campaign volunteer

[Nambe]

Portland Press Herald

Within days of the opening of the Kerry campaign's Portland headquarters on Kennebec Street on Aug. 28, Sarah Shmitt, 47, had joined the campaign. ..

Q: What got you involved this year?

A: My incredible antipathy toward Bush and his whole Cabinet and his advisers. I am very impressed with Kerry's foreign policy experience and his ability to work across the aisle. ..

Q: If you had a chance to talk to him, what would you say?

A: Probably the things I am most interested in. One, of course, is the war and how he intends to get us out of the mess we are in. One is the Patriot Act, which I think is terrifying. Education, of course, and No Child Left Behind, which we call No Teacher Left Standing. And the environment. I really like his policies on the environment. I guess at the top of my list are education and the war. ..

And the environment.
