I just saw Going Upriver.
I liked Kerry before, but now I'm convinced he very well could be the greatest president we've ever had. Not only is he intelligent, a powerful speaker, and statesmanlike, he is moral, honest, and has the experience a great leader needs.

I've read a lot about Kerry, but nothing compared to seeing him in action and speaking during the Vietnam war.

Everyone needs to see this movie. Everyone.

3. There was a link here for a free download but I can't find it.
They're giving it away evidently. I got it yesterday but all the edonkey sources are GONE today! What the hell happened? I've never EVER seen this happen before, ever!

http://www.goingupriver.com/ Downloads on lefthand side. Almost done... 45 minutes to go. It is in .mov format... you may have to get an update for Quicktime... maybe not.

I have found a converter... there are several out there, to convert from .mov to Divx, possibly DVD... don't have a DVD burner yet... but thinking about it.....

4. I saw it this week, too
Kerry was amazing. I agree that you're likely to feel like he could be a truly GREAT president after you see this film. Do what you can to see it, and take a likely voter with you! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

5. That's what I thought as I watched last night.
I was very impressed with his moral and physical courage along with the leadership Kerry displayed at such a young age.

The creeps who argue that Kerry spoke out against the Vietnam War to gain political capital have no clue what it was like to speak out at that time - protest was a potential career killer, but Kerry insisted on doing the right thing.
