If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English,
thank a soldier."
But now for the rest of the story..........
John Kerry on Defense - (I hadn't seen this list printed before. It would
make one heck of a mailer if it were sent to voters. This is a bit
overwhelming. Please read it slowly).........
He voted to kill the Bradley Fighting Vehicle
He voted to kill the M-1 Abrams Tank
He voted to kill every aircraft carrier laid down from 1988.
He voted to kill the Aegis anti aircraft system
He voted to Kill the F-15 Strike Eagle
He voted to Kill the Block 60 F-16
He voted to Kill the P-3 Orion upgrade
He voted to Kill the B-1
He voted to Kill the B-2
He voted to Kill the Patriot Anti Missile System
He voted to Kill the FA-18
He voted to Kill the B-2
He voted to Kill the F117
In short, he voted to kill every military appropriation for the development
and deployment of every weapons systems since 1988 to include the battle
armor for our troops. With Kerry as president our Army will be made up of
naked men running around with sticks and clubs.
He also voted to kill all anti terrorism activities of every agency of the
U.S. Government and to cut the funding of the FBI by 60%, to cut the funding
for the CIA by 80%, and cut the funding for the NSA by 80%.
But then he voted to increase OUR funding for U.N operations by 800%!!!
Is THIS a President YOU want?
Please pass this on, as many people may not know how bad it is. And don't
limit your sending to just your Republican friends. Everyone needs to know.
