"Bush Ruined Me and My Business"
I worked at the Kerry/Edwards rally today selling t-shirts, passing out campaign literature, and registering voters.

A man approached our table and asked for a voter registration form which I happily supplied to him.

He told me he hadn't voted since Reagan, but he hates Bush and wants to vote for Kerry. He said because of Bush he had to close his business and sell his house. He then asked for three more forms for his wife and daughters.

I heard a lot of good stories today, but my heart went out to this particular man.

We WILL get those crooks out of our White House and live as decent Americans again!

3. I had a business fail after 9/11 and the spending pull back.
My b to b streaming media biz was going great till busholini inc rammed the planes into the buildings and freaked biz people out of spending anything they didn't have to.

By the last two quarters of 02 I had no biz whatsoever, spent every cent starting a new company that is limping along. President Kerry will give America back it's courage to do sustainable business, so just hang on til November.
