"John Kerry, pull us from the water"
This is a letter originally posted on the "bellaciao.org" site. If already copied here, I'm sorry.

I just think that John Kerry is not leaving many open options and is getting late, very late for America.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Open Letter to John Kerry the true War Hero:


Remember reaching in the water and pulling your comrade into the swift boat? America is in the water. Reach in. Our hand is up and we are sinking. Bullets are flying, piercing the waves around us.

Please PUBLICLY request a re-vote in Ohio and Florida. Every criticism of the Ukrainian election is valid in Ohio. Florida was probably hacked. We WILL follow you into the streets!

1) 13 hour waits to vote in Columbus? To vote for YOU. Machine distribution needs to be fair. The facts are in. 2) Media locked out of Warren County and now their vote totals are unreasonable. Many voted for YOU. 3) Method of voting predicting candidate? Electronic voting methods predicted voting for your counterpart. 4) Exit polling at levels more discrepant than the Ukraine. 5) Polling tapes found in the trash in Volusia County, Florida? Please support Bev Harris. She is no troublemaker as your Ohio rep told her. 6) All three voting machine companies owned by Republicans? 7) The CEO of Diebold stated he would do what he could to deliver Ohio’s electoral votes to your competition. 8) County Central Tabulators that can be hacked in less than 90 seconds. No longer need to be smart, just need tip sheet. 9) Every irregularity favoring Bush.

Please pull us from the water. Please encourage a Department of Justice, Voting Section investigation into Ohio. We need printers in the precincts by 2006. I believe you cut a deal with Bush to save Roe Vs. Wade and that is why you remain quiet. Whatever the deal, please unconcede.

The deficit is out of control. Kids are dying in Iraq. Minimum wage is unacceptable. Kids with no health care. Voting system in disarray. Voting system in disarray. Voting system in disarray. Voting system in disarray. Voting system in disarray. Voting system in disarray. Voting system in disarray.

Be the man you thought you could be when you beat the odds and came home from Vietnam. We believe in you. I know you want to unconcede. You are worried about the country being torn apart. We are already torn apart. Let’s make history. You will sleep better. Unconceding is the right thing to do until the Ohio and Florida re-votes prove otherwise."

If HE doesn't call them.

I'm sorry to say that.

3. I agree
it would be better that way - but unfortuantely he does not seem to have that in him, but people do. They have to lead, there are no leaders at this time

5. Unfortunately, I would like to see Kerry come out and unconcede
first, and then the people come out into the streets. However, I think it is much more powerful a message for us to rise up and get out there first! This puts the message to this admin. and the world!

It would be better for Kerry's sake, as well. If you remember, the people were out in the Ukraine for 48 hrs. before Yuchinko (?sp) came forth to stand for them.

8. Unfortunately, that may be the only way the MSM and americans.........
will pay attention. Since Kerry conceded, (I still think he conceded too soon) the MSM and Smirky's people have planted in people's mind that "Bush won fair and square" so move on.

10. I like it, and
it does reflect the desperate situation we are in....

Every time I hear a radio headine I'm hearing obscene statements about what the government is going to do in the new term...environment, social programs cuts, etc. Desperate.

11. Here's your John Kerry
I don't know which answer is correct and everyone claims a theory.

But I think I have them all for you.

1) He honestly believes he lost and thinks it's hopeless to fight

2) He thinks he won but there is no way to prove it and besides the evil he is up against (as we all are) is too great to be overcome with the powers so stacked against him at this time (includes the possiblity of direct harm against him, his family and or the whole country)

3) He's a coward and doesn't know whether he won or lost but more importantly he wants to keep his political future

4) He's just pure evil and threw the election (skull and bones)

5) He believes he can be one of the very few opposition voices in the Government and that the long term-taking Bush down is what he's after (oh yeah and he suspects he won)

I'm hoping it's number 5. I think number 4 is pure crap. I somedays think it's number 2 and then bad days think it's number 3.

But he's not going to unconceede, there is no magic bullet, he's not superman.

12. I think it's number 2.
Even if he won, he probably thinks he can't prove it.
He doesn't want to challenge Bush on FRAUD.

13. Ugh. This letter makes me sick.
It reflects badly on dem activists. Aside from its over the top tone, suggesting that Kerry made a deal with bushco on Roe, is insulting and absurd.
