KerryI'm a lifelong Republican, though I vote for the best candidate - or

theleast objectionable one. Four years ago, I hoped George Bush would be

amoderate, fiscally conservative leader, firm but thoughtful. I havebeen

repeatedly disappointed. My top 10 reasons for opposing GeorgeBush, and

supporting John Kerry, are:1. Stubborn is not Strong. 2. You can't promote the

Bill of Rights by violating it. 3. You can't advance democracy by imposing it

by force. 4. Brave and Free, not fearful and insecure, are the qualities

greatpresidents inspire 5. 30,000 deaths do not avenge the

murder of 3,000 6. Killing terrorists requires precise aim. 7. You cannot

protect 300 million rich by frightening 3 billion poor. 8. In the military,

Smart is as important as Strong 9. Those who seek liberty through security lose

both. Security is theresult, not the cause, of liberty. 10. The "Last Resort"

should be the last resort.Some say Kerry and Bush are equally unacceptable.

That is a convenientillusion. Kerry has been an able, smart, capable,

thoughtfullegislator. He has demonstrated his heroism by placing his body in

theline of fire, to protect his men. John Kerry will be a worthy residentof the

house Lincoln and Roosevelt once occupied. America is a great nation. We need a

fresh opportunity to demonstratethat to the world. I hope you will join me by

committing your dollarsand sense to a cause to which many have devoted their

lives. Join with me
