John Kerry Visits New Hampshire and Meets with Workers

Senator John Kerry visited the state talking about the 3 million jobs lost since President Bush took office in 2001 and saying what he will do to return those unemployed to work.

For John Kerry, his only appearance in the state Thursday was a meeting with a dozen laid-off technology workers while they sat around in a circle of an abandoned technology workspace.

Kerry said he wanted to hear personal stories of the recession. Stories like John Knowles, of Hudson, with his Ph.D in Music and was laid off as a technical writer. Luckily for Knowles his wife still has her job, but she recently was diagnosed with breast cancer.

"If we didn't have health insurance through her job I am not sure what we would do," Knowles told Kerry.

Listening to their stories of the high-tech industry, Kerry said called President Bush the "worst president he has ever seen on science" because the president didn't invest enough money in the technology. Click Here for the Link.
