35. Your letter, GreenPartyVoter, is in the spirit of our Founding Fathers
It clearly, and calmly, asks the questions, and puts forth your hesitation. This nation was founded on the idea of citizens questioning their leaders. We've lost that, and it shows.

It's certainly too bad that there is such a knee-jerk reaction to any questioning of a leader. I doubt seriously that if you were to ask this of Kerry in person at one of his appearances, that he'd be terribly bothered by it. If he's truly a student of American history, he knows the value of pushing our leaders for what we want. That's what they're there for.

I hope his supporters start to realize they're doing more harm than good in attacking voters.

Kanary
