We have discovered the true progressive that can beat Bush — John Kerry.

Just review his voting record in the U.S. Senate: John Kerry has a 96 percent rating with the League of Conservation Voters (the highest of any presidential candidate), 100 percent with Planned Parenthood and NARAL, 100 percent with the NAACP, 100 percent with Human Rights Campaign, 100 percent with Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, a 100 percent with the National Education Association and 100 percent with American Ethanol Coalition.

John Kerry has served on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for 19 years. While Bush and other candidates dodged the draft, Kerry volunteered for the Vietnam War.

After witnessing the inhumanity of the war, he returned to co-found Vietnam Veterans of America and immediately started a nationwide anti-war movement.

Don’t just jump on the bandwagon because you’ve heard other “youth” are supporting a candidate. Think for yourself.
