GOOD NEWS FOR KERRY IN 2004 PRIMARIES!
I have learned through private sources that many of New Hampshire's people are getting most of their news about John Kerry from Massachusetts television stations, and this is having a positive impact on their knowledge of Kerry's positions regarding Veterans!
I will give Dean credit for having some impact on New Hampshire's voters (honesty is something I can never shed, not for political or any other reasons). But Kerry is having a very strong impact on New Hampshire, and is showing New Hampshire voters that there is really only one candidate who wants and knows how to keep Veterans' benefits from being trashed by Bush's policies. Only a war hero with an extensive legislative record on behalf of Veterans is able to do this.
The "$500 billion dollar surpluses as far as the eye can see" that Clinton/Gore left us have been turned into $500 billion to maybe even a TRILLION dollar deficits as far as the eye can see by Bush's tax giveaway to the wealthy. The HIDDEN TAXES that deficit spending causes (higher unemployment, inflation, and interest rates), especially at this huge level, are a deep TAX BURDEN on the middle class that Bush doesn't want you to know about.
To have middle class Veterans facing these hidden taxes ON TOP OF the reduced VA funding, broken promises on repealing the Disabled Veterans' Tax and many other issues of importance to Veterans is a real slap in the face to those who have valiantly taken on the dangerous risks of fighting for our freedom.
We are working on plans for a March on Washington to protest the Federal Government's refusal to repeal the Disabled Veterans' Tax. On 11-11-03 at 11.
All people who are willing to help us protest this broken promise by the Bush Administration are invited to help us out.
NOTE: The Veterans organizations who are working on this do not want this to be turned into an anti-Bush or pro-Kerry rally (even if many of us are angered by Bush's other policies). This protest is specifically being designed as an issue rally for Veterans and Veteran sympathizers, not a candidate rally. We may express our other views privately, but publicly we will be protesting the anti-Veteran policies, not the person or presidency, of George W. Bush and the House Republican leadership.
I am working with Veterans for their issues, with their needs in mind (even if their needs do not always match my own) because this is a VERY IMPORTANT STEP in Coalition Building. Some Veterans are undecided right now on who to vote for next year, or whether they will vote at all (though some are leaning toward Kerry). I am a firm believer in "what goes around comes around". I don't like seeing Veterans treated this way, and I will help them with their problems, even if it means I don't get to carry a Kerry sign or an anti-Bush sign at the time. Carrying a "Repeal the Disabled Veterans Tax" sign is enough for me. These are real, living, breathing people who are getting "s*it" on just like most of the rest of us are.
