NOTE to the Bush Abomination: The US electorate is painfully aware that Al Qaeda is planning to strike America very hard in the near future. And a growing majority of the US electorate is also painfully aware that you are not working as hard to protect it from Al Qaeda as you are using the fear of Al Qaeda to protect you from the US electorate, and its decision in the upcoming national referendum on your CREDIBILITY, COMPETENCE and CHARACTER...
NOTE TO JOHN F. KERRY (D-MEKONG DELTA): "Lay on MacDuff..."
Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mekong Delta): "Every administration official since September 11th has said to us that it is not a question of if - it is a question of when. And if it is a question of when, then my question – and the question of most Americans is - why are we cutting COPS programs in the United States of America? Why is it that in our ports all across this country, we still don’t have the inspection of containers that are coming into our nation? Why is it that our trains and other forms of transportation do not have the protections that we know would make us safer? Why is it that chemical plants and nuclear facilities still don’t have the plans and protections in place that are necessary? We deserve a President of the United States who doesn’t make homeland security a photo opportunity and the rhetoric of a campaign. We deserve a President who makes America safer.”

Kerry Statement on Homeland Security and New Terror Warnings
May 26, 2004
For Immediate Release
Seattle, WA
Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry made the following statement on homeland security and the new terror warnings today while speaking in Seattle, WA:
“Yesterday we were again reminded that we do live in dangerous times. For the first time since Christmas, the administration has warned us about the possibility of terrorist attacks in our nation. I know that every American who watched the news last night or picked up the paper this morning was struck by the seriousness and the concern coming from this administration.
“The key word is when. Every administration official since September 11th has said to us that it is not a question of if - it is a question of when. And if it is a question of when, then my question – and the question of most Americans is - why are we cutting COPS programs in the United States of America? Why is it that in our ports all across this country, we still don’t have the inspection of containers that are coming into our nation? Why is it that our trains and other forms of transportation do not have the protections that we know would make us safer? Why is it that chemical plants and nuclear facilities still don’t have the plans and protections in place that are necessary? We deserve a President of the United States who doesn’t make homeland security a photo opportunity and the rhetoric of a campaign. We deserve a President who makes America safer.”
