Wisconsin woman's obit endorses Kerry
http://www.salon.com/news/wire/2004/10/01/obit/index.html

(you can get a day pass to read it)

snip ...

Oct. 1, 2004 | Madison -- Send no flowers to commemorate Jane Buffett's death, her husband asks. Instead, send John Kerry to the White House.

In a paid obituary published in Madison's two daily newspapers, Roger Buffett celebrated his wife's years as a mother, homemaker, grandmother and English teacher. But, he said, she was "outraged" by President Bush's decision to invade Iraq and then expecting "her grandchildren to pay the bills." Other Bush administration policies angered her as well.

"She saw John Kerry as the candidate who would most conserve everything she valued," the obituary said. "Jane fought to live long enough to be able to vote this November. To honor her memory, please do everything you can to elect John Kerry." ...


Let's honor Jane Buffett's last wish, gang, and kick Bushie out on his butt!

4. Maybe Jane can help us out
from her side. I know she's new up there but hopefully she can pull a few strings.

5. Well, you finally did it.
Stories of soldiers lost couldn't bring a tear to my eye, but this story did.

Let's make Kerry's election Jane Buffett's legacy.

LET'S DO IT!

6. Just when I get so frustrated at the stupidity of some (bush supporters)
that I wonder what is going on in this country, along comes a something so pure and lovely as this.

Hope is on the way.
