John Kerry Fighting Back

Well it's taken someone else being the democratic nominee for John Kerry to grow a back bone, but I am sure glad he did. As a surrogate for Barack Obama, he has been one of the best. He now seems tougher than ever and willing to tell it like it is. 

In a letter to his supporters today, Kerry encouraged everyone to get the truth out, linking a web page debunking all the smears coming out of the McCain campaign. Truthfightsback.com

The letter is as follows:

John McCain has shown a stunning failure of leadership. His campaign, in a time of economic crisis and foreign policy drift, has degenerated into a negative and nasty campaign of smears.

The reports are piling up of ugliness at the campaign rallies of John McCain and Sarah Palin. Audience members hurl insults and racial epithets, call out "Kill Him!" and "Off With His Head," and yell "treason" when Senator Obama's name is mentioned. I strongly condemn language like this which can only be described as hate-filled.

According to reports, every ad paid for by the John McCain campaign is now a negative ad -- every single one! McCain allows his running mate to make outrageous charges that only a few years ago would have disqualified someone from serious consideration for national office.

We cannot stand by and allow this to happen. We need to fight back, spread the word about what kind of low campaign he's running, and make sure people know the truth.
