"An Open Letter to John Kerry
US Constitution Article 14 Section 3 Disqualifies You From the Presidency

10 October 2004
Senator John Kerry
c/o Democratic National Committee
530 S. Capitol St. SE
Washington DC 20003

Dear John

In April 1971 you testified as a Naval officer before Congress, giving
the North Vietnamese what they hadn't gotten from American POWs in
Hanoi: a confession of war crimes. According to Senator John McCain (14 May 1973 US News & World Report) your testimony was "the most effective propaganda they had to use against us." Your photograph is displayed in the Vietnamese Communist War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City (www.WinterSoldier.com)in the room of tribute to the American anti-war protestors who helped the North Vietnamese win the war. North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap wrote in his memoir in 1985 that if it weren't for anti-war activists such as youand the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, which you led and represented, they would have surrendered; but as a result of your activism and that of others like yourself, American POWs stayed in prison longer, they were tortured longer, the war lasted longer, America surrendered, and thousands more Americans and Viets died. You gave aid and comfort to the enemy.
Now, on the campaign trail, you are calling the war against Saddam
Hussein and terrorism in Iraq "the wrong war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time." You are giving aid and comfort to the enemy again.
The United States Constitution, Article 14, Section 3, provides that:
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President or Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States . . . who, having previously taken an oath . . . as an officer of the United States . . . shall have . . . given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof."
The law is perfectly clear. You have taken an oath to uphold the
Constitution, as a Naval officer, as a Senator, and you seek to do so
again as President. To uphold the US Constitution, Article 14, Section 3, you must resign from the Senate, and resign your presidential candidacy. Your presidency would be a violation of the US Constitution, Article 14, Section 3.

Very truly yours,
