Kerry Needs Every Vote
RECEIVED Fri., Oct. 22, 2004
Dear Editor,
As election day approaches, it is hard to imagine why anyone would vote for Bush or Nader. Or worse yet, not vote at all since Bush will win Texas regardless.
The main reason to vote for Kerry is that if Bush is re-elected he is sure to turn the Supreme Court and other courts into ultra-right groups. Forget any gay rights won and say goodbye to women's right to choose.
Of course Bush will win in Texas, but don't make the mistake of voting for Nader as a protest. We must insure that Kerry wins the popular vote – so a vote for Kerry will matter.
Isn't it time for an "intellect" and, yes, intelligent person in the White House? We need someone who reads about and studies the issues, not relying on advisers, and yes, God, to tell him everything and guide his decisions.
Also, we need someone who will protect the environment, not someone who doesn't even believe in global warming, for instance.
And, of course, we need someone we can trust, not someone who has intentionally or unintentionally misstated the facts whether they be about the reasons for going to war, "mission accomplished," or how his tax cuts for the rich are helping everyone.
