No apology! I trust Senator Kerry to fight!
Getting out of Iraq and taking back our country will be the issues on the other side of the election, and I trust Senator Kerry to fight for change!

"What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States." -- John Kerry


First Senator McCain says that “waterboarding and other extreme measures” are off limits. Senator Graham said we “let the world know we are no longer engaging in” waterboarding. I guess no one let the Vice President know. He said waterboarding—or simulated drowning— is “a no-brainer.”

Who can we believe? The Vice President? The White House spin team? Or Senate Republicans who have no say in how this policy is enforced? It is clearer by the day that an Administration that lobbied for the right to torture got exactly what it wanted. If that’s not the case, Senate Republicans who defended the Administration’s intentions and defended the Administration compromise need to demand answers and accountability from their White House. -- John Kerry


IOWA CITY, Iowa - Democratic Sen. John Kerry said Tuesday that President Bush committed "a gigantic blunder" by giving top Iraqi officials assurances that U.S. forces would remain indefinitely in the war-torn country. -- John Kerry


We need you to stand up and fight again. Stand up and fight if you want an America that is finally and forever independent of Mideast oil – an America that relies on its ingenuity and innovation – not the Saudi royal family.

Stand up and fight so the United States stops being the only denier of global warming. Stand up and fight so we give our people back the truth, and give the world back its future.

Stand up so that instead of making a mockery of the words No Child Left Behind, we build an America where college education is affordable and accessible for every student willing to work for it.

Stand up if you’re tired of seeing America divided into red states and blue states; because you know we can be one America -- red, white, and blue.

Stand up so we can carry our cause into every corner of the nation--not just to oppose what has failed but to propose a new direction that can that will make America safe.

Stand up for something that’s simple and fundamental and that’s been lost for too long under this administration – Stand up for the common good.

Stand up to those who seek refuge in the slogan “My country right or wrong.” And tell them: “Yes, my country right or wrong. When right, keep it right and when wrong, make it right.” That’s our mission – yours and mine - to get off our rear ends – go out – take these 25 days and make it right.

-- John Kerry


"If anyone owes our troops in the fields an apology, it is the President." -- John Kerry

3. He won't distract from local campaigns, but will keep a national fight going.
He'll be on CNN later today.
