9. Educate Yourself
First any idiot who would risk the popular vote and trust somebody else to vote for Kerry, needs to examine their thinking abilities as much as any fundy does.

Second.

John Kerry. Spearheaded acid rain invetigations which became the Clean Air Act. Same with the new Clean Water Act and new Oceans and Fisheries Act. There is no better leader on the environment than John Kerry, incuding Ralph Nader.

Wrote the legislation that was the pre-cursor to Children's Health Insurance Program.

Wrote the legislation that would create a trust fund for low-income housing.

Has fought with John McCain to introduce a new Committee that would eliminate corporate pork.

Wrote much of the legislation on Global Aids legislation.

Was the first to stand up for gay/lesbian equal rights.

Has always stood beside women and created one of the first sexual victims units in the countries. Introduced legislation and fought for extensions in Women's Business Centers so women could begin to become financially independent.

There is so much more. John Kerry has done 10 times what Ralph Nader has done and there is absolutely NO reason for any liberal to not be ecstatic about his candidacy.

Unless they're the same kind of faithful follower of Nader who can't make a decision unless he tells them to. Kind of like some other faithful followers I know of.
