I'm going to meet John Kerry tomarrow, any thing you want me to say.

[cheshire]

Sorry only kind things will be delivered. He will be at our union meeting and I may not get much time but I will meet him.

[kevin881]

1. tell him that there are a lot of little people pulling for him...

and wish him luck on the debates.

tell him to stay on the offensive.

[gospelized]

2. challenge him to a duel

[MercutioATC]

40. With spitballs?

...or are spitballs reserved for the Zell/Tweety duel?

[Democat]

3. Tell him to kick ass and win this!

We are all working for him, tell him to make it happen! :)

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

4. Tell him thank you for running from the bottom of my heart

tell him thank you for your service to our country.

I heart him.

Tell him a lot of desperate and sad Democrats in Texas are pulling hard for him, LOL!

[cheshire]

7. LOL I feel your pain.

[Guaranteed]

5. Tell him he needs to be VERY CAREFUL about the one liners...

Bush is going to try to humiliate him...

Remember the Rove M.O., attack, and then attack some more. Kerry needs to be on his feet with a quick rejoinder to any attack- especially the "debate himself" attack.

[AuntPatsy]

6. Honestly? He has a chance in Texas, this I firmly believe,

mention our state and show we matter...some people are thick headed enough that they need to hear themselves being aired as such to support someone, I know it is a bit cheeky and doesn't say much for some Texans but it cannot hurt...

[jpgray]

8. On the 'Isn't the world safer with Saddam gone?'

Tell him to say:

'No, and that's the ultimate indictment of this administration--their incompetent handling of Saddam Hussein's removal has incredibly managed to make this world a more dangerous place.'

You probably won't be able to say all that, but I wish he would have this in a holster for the debates. :)

[cheshire]

10. I know he does, just not on your time line maybe. He's on top of it OK.

[cheshire]

11. I know he does, just not on your time line maybe. He's on top of it OK.

[gmoney]

9. "Bring it ON!"

John, we're waiting...

[RoyGBiv]

12. Senator Kerry --

Thank you for giving me hope.

Now, kick some ass and don't bother with the names. We already know what they are and will deal with that later. We all support you. We're all there for you. Make us proud.

[mia]

13. Ask him to address the "New Freedom" mandatory mental health tests.

Please!

[cheshire]

17. Do you think he is unaware of this? Are you just used to * ? He cares OK

[mia]

28. Of course he does, but

Although Kerry's Campaign has not yet produced a comprehensive policy statement on mental health and substance abuse issues and concerns, it is possible to find out what Senator Kerry's beliefs are and what legislation he supports.

# Check the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill -- Presidential Politics & Mental Health Policy Web page -- for some thoughts on mental health policy.

# NAMI.org page posted September 12, 2003 -- Statement on Mental Health Policy by U.S. Senator John Kerry.

# DisabilityWorld.org also published the Kerry Statement on Mental Health Policy in September 2003 -- Statement by John Kerry on Mental Health Policy.

Why I Support John Kerry for President

[cheshire]

14. I need sleep will check out more in morn. I will take pics if possible and

I'm giving him a hug if I have to hit someone to do it. I'm trying for a signature too. Maybe to much. I'll post if I can figure that all out. good night. I'm so excited I won't be able to sleep. Clinton never made me feel this. weird.

[LittleClarkie]

45. Just hug him til his eyes bug out

From a former ABBer, who now loves the stuffing out of John Kerry. If more people would stop listening to the media spin and give him a good hard look, they'd realize what a good, honest, knowledgable and intelligent man he is.

I trust him to make the right decisions, whatever those decisions might turn out to be.

Tell him I'm praying for him, and that I tell everyone who thinks Bush is way ahead in the polls that Kerry will not only win, but that it won't even be close.

God bless him.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Tell him to talk more about his Senate career.

Or cover it in campaign adds. His role in uncovering Iran/Contra and BCCI particularly. That fact that he was once a prosecuter could be a plus on his side. People need to know more about this side of him

[Pachamama]

25. Yeah, the Republicans hate any references to Iran/Contra....

...messy lil' thing they like to forget about....The fact that Kerry was one of the key people driving behind the investigation that blew that thing wide open, probably doesn't sit well with the Bush family either...ofcourse, daddy Bush was conveniently "absent" from the whole dealings, right?

[sandnsea]

26. Yes, absolutely

And everything else he's done, AIDS, Agent Orange, Oceans & Fisheries, Small Business Committee, child care, domestic abuse. I don't know what this campaign is doing, he's fought for everything Americans care about.

[LittleClarkie]

43. Amen

I feel that way too. These are some of his best strengths and not enough people know that was him. I generally get a suprised face when I mention it.

He has started to, actually. He mentioned BCCI in his Friday speech.

[NNadir]

16. Tell him to turn the boat around, head into the fire, and fire back.

This time he isn't facing brave and committed Revolutionaries. He is facing cowardly revolutionaries.

Tell him not to forget that: They are cowards.

[Octafish]

18. Use the Debate Intro to DEFINE himself...

... Using simple, down-to-earth language. Most of the folks I meet who are on the fence don't know much about Sen. John Kerry. The media haven't done their jobs.

During the debates, Sen. Kerry should also use his answers to CLOBBER Bush as truly a weak leader, president (sic), and man and demonstrate how he is the better choice. He certainly would have the golden opportunity to drop the bomb on Bush, stating how he actually has combatted the financing of international terrorism by shutting down a global criminal enterprise -- BCCI.

BTW: Bush benefitted by getting big loans out of BCCI when he was running his various Texas oil companies into the ground. Ironically, BCCI is the same bank used by the bin Ladens, Manny Noriega, the KGB, Saddam Hussein, the CIA and Ollie North.

[cheshire]

19. I just checked I did say ONLY KIND THINGS thank you for respecting this.

[auntAgonist]

20. Ask him if he'll need help on 'moving day'!!!

I am good at packing dishes etc.

Tell him we are with him ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!

:grouphug: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :grouphug:


then we can party!!!

:party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party:

[cheshire]

21. I'm crying with happiness at your post. I can sleep now. GN

[Southern Patriot]

22. Three things...

(1) Get his staff to formulate some zingers that will sting Bush and cause him to get flustered and off his talking points. Bush has really thin skin. One possibility: contrast Bush poorly with his father (or vice versa).

(2) Use Rahm Emmanuel as his attack dog.

(3) Designate John Edwards as his "ambassador" to the African-American and Hispanic communities. Give'em some public love and attention.

[Proud liberal Kat]

23. Tell him

that I believe in him and I am counting on him...tell him not to betray that belief WHEN we get him elected. Tell him I love my country and I am fighting with every last breath I have to get him elected and that if he doesn't follow through to get a second term he will break my patriotic heart. But with that tell him I BELIEVE, I believe he brings hope, I believe he knows how important it is, I believe he will speak Truth to Power!! Tell him I believe!
Kathy

[nightperson]

24. O.K.,

Supreme Court/Draft/Religious Right/Needless drug and porn prosecutions/Illegal Israeli settlements/Illegal immigration/Neo-isolationism.

I wouldn't have mentioned these "things" if I didn't think they'd help him. :)

[cheshire]

27. And i won't mention them either. Go back to the dictionary look up positiv

e.

[nightperson]

32. You will not mention the Supreme Court?

:shrug: What in the world are you talking about?

[cheshire]

38. I want to give him words of incouragement not tell him how to play his

game.

[AP]

29. Tell him to make a special plea to democrats to phone bank and precinct...

...walk.

[underseasurveyor]

30. Tell him We The People want a REAL debate

Not a debate that's going to pamper and cover up for a lying disaster monkey. This isn't about what georgie wants or his image, it's about what America and We The People need and want. And I want to see Kerry crush the monkey. I need to see Kerry crush the monkey :bounce:

[Pachamama]

31. Tell him the future of our children & country are depending on him

...no pressure, of course, but he already knows this....

He actually told me so much when I met him last month when he came to San Francisco for a fundraiser....I got to meet him and gave him a letter with a drawing from my 4 year old that included a picture of her and her sister....He stared at it long and hard and said "You know this election is about them"....We then talked about how he as President will make sure they and this country and world are safer...I then said Namaste to him, he said it back to me and we hugged....

:pals: He's going to be a great President....even my 4 year old knows that! :hi:

You'll like him...he comes across so much warmer in person...I only wish the media could show and capture that...or rather, show the clips...I've seen a few where when he holds children...that's when you see his essence....With * he looks weirded out when holding a kid...

[umtalal]

33. Kick them where it hurts... don't play nice because they are evilllllll

[Onlooker]

34. Ask him to start a thread at DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND!!!

It would be really cool if he stopped in here.

[cheshire]

37. I will do this, I was thinking about that just now.

[JPJones]

39. No, all the hand wringers, communists and Naderites

will send the thread off message to the delight of the media and freepers.

[ClassWarrior]

35. Tell him to start calling Dubya a TWO-FACE.

Or tell him to answer the $87B, i.e., "I wanted to pay for it with loans to Iraq and tax cuts for the wealthy. Bush* wanted to pay for it with YOUR tax dollars. But the important question is, why were our brave soldiers sent into battle WITHOUT the things they need. And why, George*, don't they have them yet??"

Or tell him to hammer "23 excuses for invading Iraq...and counting."

You choose. I know you'll only have a moment or two.

23.

[Eric J in MN]

36. During debates, mention Bush threatened to veto the $87 billion.

From someone else's post:


Something like when Bush says "My opponent voted for then against the $87" (and we all know that's coming), for Kerry to say, "The President and his administration have a habit of distorting things to the American people. He forgot to mention that he threatened veto on the bill."

[johan helge]

41. Kerry should tell people that Richard Clarke and other terror experts

think * has made the US less, not more safe.

[tedoll78]

42. Thank him for his efforts to save the Supreme Court from calamity.

the calamity being Bush appointees, of course..

[incapsulated]

44. Arkansas!

Please tell him this State can be won, with a little effort. Ask Wes Clark to stump there for him (Clinton would be great, but that's not possible now). Send Edwards down there. Go there himself if he can. Spend some money on ads, please! We need every State we can get! Don't buy the NRA bs!

Oh, and say hi from incap. :hi:

[demokatgurrl]

59. I seocnd that. Send Hillary if not Bill, and Wes too. n/t

[Leilani]

46. Tell him the WORLD hangs in the balance!!!

Just kidding!

[Justice]

47. Tell Him Thank you for speaking the truth

He has been awesome the last 10 days. Tell him we love Teresa too.

Tell him short sentences, no big words in the debate.

[Xenus Sister]

48. PLEASE ASK IF HE PLANS TO KEEP PORTER GOSS!! PLEASE

Tell him (if you get a chance, of course) that people are really REALLY worried about Goss.

[bklyncowgirl]

49. Keep fighting nt

[annabanana]

50. Beware of blow-back

"picking on the poor, plain-folk monkey" Just the facts (those are damning enough)

[BootinUp]

51. Tell him we are proud of him

and we know he will do well in the debates.

[bluedonkey]

52. Tell him we love him

and in case the Bushista steal the election again,we need him to be our president when seceed from the Republican Union.
Just tell him we're ready!

[baltodemvet]

53. Relax and be ready to cite the 9th commandment

1. We don't need anything spectacular. We've got hundreds of thousands of volunteers on the ground, getting the job done. Just keep hammering on Bush's demonstrated failures as commander in chief.

2. Be ready to cite the 9th commandment: "Thou Shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." Make it personal (specific to Bush) --not general (the GOP & it's thugs.) This will refresh the focus on Bush's disregard for the truth. They won't be expecting Kerry to be citing scripture.

[Zynx]

56. Indeed. Challenge Bush's credibility.

[IronLionZion]

60. excellent

Kerry should definitely cite scripture since he is a good Catholic.

Too many assholes are saying Kerry isn't religious enough or whatever since he is pro-choice. I wish the word would get out that Bush payed for his girlfriend Robin's abortion in 1971 before it was legal in the great state of Texas. Kerry's wives/girlfriends have never had abortions. Kerry even had the good sense to annul his first marriage and not have any children in his second marriage.

[bushwakker]

54. Thank you John - keep fighting!

[molly]

55. Tell him we are 100% behind him and to

KICK BUTT! on Thursday.

[cheshire]

57. Thanks everyone, I've decided I will write a note to try to say more in

the time I have, A hug, note, photo and signature. I will not be telling him how to do his job, sorry. But I will ask him to look in on DU and let us know he's aware of us. This is so strange I'm still worried he won't be there.

[demokatgurrl]

58. Tell him to

get some advice from Bill Clinton on how to preserve his voice. Clinton had a great doctor and some special lozenges that he took with him (both the doctor AND the lozenges) in the 1992 campaign.

And tell him "what Max said- win!!"

[crispini]

61. Tell him WE LOVE HIM!

Tell him to come visit us in Texas! Just once! We're working really hard here! :)

[WiseMen]

62. FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS: Knock Down Vet Smear and Flip-Flop, Again, Again,

again, again ....


Don't be diverted into elegant discussions about anything else.
Don't believe that you answers have already gotten through. They
have not. The media did not let the people hear. This is your only
opportunity to deliver your message unfiltered.

Please, John:

Just clear your name!

[Cha]

64. Good Advice! In a Nutshell!

"Please John, Clear your name!"

[Jackpine Radical]

63. See if you can get a sense of whether he is fully alerted

to the election fraud machine--BBV,felonious felons list, absentee ballot problems, etc.

[blondeatlast]

65. That many of us are working harder than we have for any campaign before,

because we dearly love our country and he can help give it back to us.

And call him "Mr. President."

[Toucano]

66. "Thank you for your lifetime of fighting for what's right." n/t

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

67. Tell him

You're sure President Gore is very proud of him today.
