I don't often come here and ask for something like this, but when there's no coverage of this issue on television, it's hard to build the drumbeat you need sometimes to get results. We need to demonstrate that Americans care about the credibility of their government and the transparency of their media, and I hope I can count on you to back me up on this.
So, click on the link and add your name to the letter, and we'll show everyone that we won't let this secret program slide away unexplained.
You won the election in 2004 Kerry, and then you conceeded to Bush less than 24 hours after polls closed, not counting ONE electronic voting machine. Now you're offering an online poll which means NOTHING.
Why not go hunt for those medals you tossed.

..and who in their right mind would believe them( that they suspended the 'program')? . You can bet your money they have dozens of these important media campaigns in the planning. From the Hollywood designed press room to the spammers on the net.
As I see it a total boycott of lamestream media would do the trick.

John, this is chicken-shit compared to crimes already committed that there are mountains of evidence on, that we should have already tried and convicted these cretins for. So before we start yet another investigation that goes no where, why don't you focus your married-into-elitist-Skull & Bones ass on one of those? Or even go as far as to mention election fraud that cheated you and still exists today instead of dangling another set of shiny keys.
Is this an important issue?
Yes.
Does it deserve investigation?
Not any more than 9/11. Why don't you try wrapping your well published intellect around that one, or why don't you champion Sibel Edmonds before you lead us on another wild-goose-chase? Huh, John?
So, pardon me John if I'm not all that excited about "Steroids-in-Baseball" Waxman, "Off-the-Table" Pelosi, or "I'm- Sending-Another-Mean-Letter" Conyers starting another investigation when they have been MIA on everything else. In do many words John, "piss-off", because as far as I'm concerned you're part of the problem.

As for the people who think that everything is John Kerry's fault because he "lost" the election (we think he actually won)..did it ever occur to you that more than likely the Supreme Court (even the politized DOJ ) would have again interferred and given the election to Bush, any way?..Just like they did in 2000...I am sure that John Kerry knew that...why can't you figure that out
Its to bad that Congress pays no attention to the "peoples petitions" isn't there something about the right to petition Congress and appeal for redress...some where in the Constitution..or does Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Steny Hoyer use the Constitution as toilet paper too...? ?

Oh, you noticed that, did you?! How terribly perceptive.
For years, now, there's been enough evidence of high crimes & abuse of high office to put these guys in prison for the rest of their lives. In fact, most of your Democratic colleagues (including you yourself) have collaborated with these crimes, & have helped the White House keep them off the public's radar screen.
If you're truly so horrified about serious crimes committed in Washington, why didn't you attack Bush about the "little boo-boo" of the non-existent WMD, when you had the public's attention in 2004? Why didn't you attack him about the torture in Abu Ghraib? (You did notice, didn't you, that Bush openly admitted to ABC News last month that he knew all about the torture cabal meetings in the White House?)
You're right about what you write in this appeal today. However, this kind of stuff has been going on ever since Bush stole the 2000 election. Neither you nor your colleagues have lifted a finger against any of it. And I confidently expect that even if you get a whole raft of signatures on this petition, that absolutely nothing will come of it, any more than Democrats have held Bush/Cheney accountable for any of the monstrous things they've done, since they began defiling the Constitution in 2001.

You do know that the "War on Terror" is a murderous, Constitution-shredding fraud, don't you, Senator?
Why not demand the results of the FBI's "investigation" into who tried to assassinate Senators Daschle and Leahy with weaponized anthrax from the Ft. Detrick lab and murdered five innocent people in a false-flag WMD attack framing muslim terrorists? You do remember that little incident, don't you, Senator?
Nobody is blaming him for losing, but for throwing the game
He stepped aside even though the bus had his name on it. He did not fight.
As for this story, GMAFB. Where was John when they reported 1.6 billion dollars were used to produce and distribute fake news on the economy and Iraq through a media more porous than the paparazzi press?

You took the oath. You first seek and then receive the public trust and if memory serves me, accepted it. With the exception of your family, what higher honor is there sir?
If you care at all for this country we share, I request you reread and soulfully remember your oath, get up and uphold that which you accepted. Now.
Like my grandpa and perhaps yours might have said, it's time to _ _ _ _ or get off the pot.
peace

As Lao-Tzu wrote, "A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step." Perhaps this is Senator Kerry's first step in beginning to attempt to block the runaway power of the new media/military/industrial war machine that now threatens economic collapse and nuclear holocaust. In the coming collapse of the American economy, and the propaganda war that will be waged upon us, we will need to welcome many new people into the progressive movement that failed to act earlier when they should have done so. If we can find no forgiveness in our hearts for these that should have known better, sooner; but are now willing, then ours will be a small movement indeed.

You are correct and I thank you for the Lao-Tzu. I have a old LT book by my bed I obviously need to reread tonite. Putting aside my above get off the pot comment which I apologize for (sorry Sen. Kerry), my opinion of those who seek the public trust is that they are first and foremost accountable to those whom they represent. That we seem to be in this period where many of our representatives are sadly disconnected from this simple truth is a painful thorn in my side.
I thank you for the reminder W.M.L. and for desert tonite I will have a plate of Tao.
peace
