GUEST,Sammy BS: John Kerry (41) RE: BS: John Kerry 20 Jun 03


It is my understanding that MoveOn.org has not endorsed anyone yet, because their online primary won't be held until June 23rd.

Instructions for registering to vote in their online primary (it is very simple, and you only need provide your name and email account) can be found here:

I appreciate that Kerry isn't Bush, and that he is the big money candidate for the Democrats. I also understand that a vote for any third party candidate is a vote for Bush--not just a Green candidate.

However, that doesn't mean I will necessarily vote Democratic. At some point, the progressive left needs to get seriously organized to make a stand against the fascist takeover of the US government. Now would be an excellent time to do just that.

But to my way of thinking, it is ludicrous to think that voting for the big money candidate of either the Republican or Democratic parties will bring about the necessary change that needs to happen. John Kerry will not work to repeal of the US Patriot Act, or work to repeal the Bush tax cuts, or release of perpetual prisoners held without due process or habeas corpus rights in the US and in Guantanamo Bay, bring an end to the perpetual war and the perpetual war economy, etc.

And if the Democratic presidential candidate won't take on that work, then what is the point of electing them?
