Kerry funding ads for children's healthcare bill. Targets GOP districts.
Good. That will show who values children's lives for REAL and who is a hypocrite about it. I hope he backs the GOPers so far into the corner rhetorically with this bill that they fall all over themselves trying to attach themselves to it.

WASHINGTON - Former presidential hopeful Sen. John Kerry is funding a political advertisement in key Republican districts, a move aimed at rallying support for health care coverage for uninsured children.

The ad will begin airing Monday in the home districts of House Republican leader Tom DeLay of Texas and Senate Republican leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, as well the districts of GOP members of the House Commerce and Senate Finance committees. Those districts will be in Pennsylvania, Mississippi and Maine, but the specific media markets were not released.
>>>>>

The ad talks about the 11 million children who have no health insurance, and it urges viewers to tell politicians in Washington to support health care legislation for America's kids, legislation Kerry has sponsored. It does not mention Kerry or any of the Republicans by name

4. Thanks. I get the feeling that Kerry, Boxer, Conyers and Waxman
have a behind the scenes alliance going on. They've all built strong creds when it comes to countering corruption in government. I expect Kucinich to be right there, too.

6. Who says Dems have no ideas?
JK has an agenda and is creating a movement to support it.

I'll be calling my Rep and Senators in the AM.

Nominated!
