Letter from Sen. Lautenberg about his "Chickenhawk" rant at the Senate

[Renew Deal]

I emailed Sen. Lautenberg to thank him for his attack on the Chickenhawks that had been attacking Kerry. I got a response over a month later.

Dear Bleachers7:

Thank you for expressing your support for my April 28th speech on the Senate floor; I appreciate your support.

I made my "Chickenhawk" speech because I am sick and tired of people who never answered the call to duty defaming John Kerry – a true patriot as weak on defense. That is preposterous. When the call came to defend our nations interests, John Kerry answered the call and he has served our country ever since.

You can rest assured that I will continue to fight against the Bush campaign’s nefarious attempts to discredit Senator Kerry as he campaigns for President. Considering the current issues to address, including the instability enveloping Iraq, skyrocketing budget deficits, and staggering unemployment, I am not surprised by President Bush’s attempt to redirect attention to issues 30 years past. Nevertheless, I will continue to respond publicly to these mean-spirited attacks against Senator Kerry.

Thank you again for your correspondence.
