Dear Friend, Win a Day on the Campaign Trail with John Kerry!

[AfricanDonkey]

I got this in the mail and I thought It was pretty interesting because it seems like so many Dean e-mail updates I have gotten in the past asking me to do so much on-line. I think this is great for the Democratic Party. Soon, we'll be matched in hard money with the RNC and we'll start mopping up elephant shit. :)

"We Need Better Leadership"

This week, John Kerry spoke to Salem firefighters who are thirsty for the
kind of leadership necessary to close the dangerous Preparedness Gap
facing
America: "Fire Capt. Joe Kamal observes Sept. 11 in two distinct but not
altogether different ways.

It's the anniversary of the day he became a firefighter in 1983. The date,

he said, is also a constant reminder of what is at stake for a firefighter

who may be the first to respond to an act of terrorism.

Kamal told Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry last night the risk
is magnified because the Salem fire and rescue squad is constantly
fighting
staffing problems.

'In the first hours of any response, we're going to take care of it,'
Kamal said, adding that the solution to inadequate staffing is more money
from
the federal government.

Kerry -- who joined firefighters for a lasagna supper last night as part
of a campaign swing through Southern New Hampshire -- said he backs a plan
to boost funding for first responders and establish another 100,000
firefighter positions.

The Massachusetts senator has blamed President Bush for underfunding first

responders, and he appears to be the leading contender for the endorsement

of the Professional Firefighters of New Hampshire. The union has yet to
endorse a candidate, but its close ties to Kerry contrasts with
firefighters'
lukewarm or cool response to fellow Democratic front-runner Howard Dean."
