Would someone please put the following sentence in Kerry lit?

[John_H]

"John Kerry led the fight against terrorist funding and corporate crime long before Ken Lay and Osama bin Laden were houshold names."

And then give the BCCI and other corporate crime stuff in a paragraph for talking points.

As Ms. H talks to people and passes out lit in our swing state, people always ask her, "Well, he's got no experience fighting terrorists" and, particularly often in our area, where lots of people lost their asses on tech stocks, "What's he going to do about these corporate robbers?"

Thank you.

1. I bring that up to everyone I talk to about Kerry.

It's made a few BunnyPuppets rethink their stands, although I'm not sure it's swayed anyone.

It was legal, it was masterful, it was the best way we have to curb the ME terrorists, especially those with Saudi connections.

Spread it far and wide!

2. Your sentence is clear and packs a punch. Send it to the Kerry campaign.

"John Kerry led the fight against terrorist funding and corporate crime long before Ken Lay and Osama bin Laden were houshold names."

3. a minor edit

i would alter the phrase "led the fight against terrorist funding" to read:

"led the fight TO CUT OFF sources of funds being channeled to terrorist organizations" ...

using the phrase "he led the fight against terrorist funding" is too easily interpreted as "he led the fight against funding to fight the terrorists" ... it's a sad state of affairs but you have to know your audience ...
