Five 9/11 Widows To Endorse Kerry
Edited on Mon Sep-13-04 10:46 PM by cryingshame
This is good news... I'd been hoping for this!


WASHINGTON - Five outspoken Sept. 11 widows on Tuesday will publicly endorse John Kerry (news - web
sites) for president, The Associated Press has learned, throwing their weight behind the Democratic
challenger in a heated campaign debate over who is best suited to defend the nation from another terrorist
attack.

2. Link didn't work
Try this one:

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040914/ap_on_el_pr/sept_11_widows_kerry_1

<snip>


Some, including Kristen Breitweiser, of Middletown, N.J., and Monica Gabrielle, of West Haven, Conn., also have agreed to make campaign appearances for the Democratic senator, campaign sources told the AP.

"We will be speaking from the heart, and speaking from our conscience," Breitweiser said Monday. She would not elaborate. Breitweiser is by far the most visible and outspoken of the Sept. 11 family advocates, and has been highly critical of the government's reform efforts to date.

7. True, But They Didn't Testify To The 9/11 Commission, Did They?
I'm not sure.

I know the women backing Kerry have made it their mission to become informed and involved.

Same couldn't be said about any of the others who could still support Bush knowing how he made America vulnerable before and after 9/11.

15. Ooooooh, let's have a debate between the New Jersey

11. I saw her on CNN
On Inside politics Judy Republican Whore said tommorow they will have a 9-11 widow that supports Bush.
How can there be such a person? Does she not realize Bush opposed the 9-11 commision? That he let Afghanistan fall back into terrorists hands because he invaded Iraq?
How could ANYONE who lost someone support him?

12. Hey, they found one
Law of averages.

If there are hundreds of 9/11 widows, it sure is likely that they can come up with at least ONE Bush supporter.

14. I'm so pleased they are speaking out for Kerry!
These unbelievably couragous women who happen to be 9/11 widows know more about Bush and every crooked thing he's done than the majority of Americans.

16. After Kerry is elected, I want to see each of these
ladies with a high position in the new Administration; Hell, if they don't deserve it, nobody deserves it.
