Scrutinizing Kerry's Anti-War Activities
It is difficult to understand how any veteran can support John Kerry. He had ambition early in life to be President.
His four-month stint in Vietnam was to be a page in his presidential r???? ©sum???? ©. He, like some others in Nam had "connections." The commanding officer, George Elliot, who authorized the Silver Star, also assisted Kerry in his 1996 Senate campaign. Nonetheless, we honor his four-month stint.
His dishonor came in 1971 when he slandered his fellow military personnel with trumped up charges of atrocities while the war was still going on. His speech garnered him a round of TV appearances and launched his political career.
At the end of the war in 1975, North Korean Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap credited Kerry's "Vietnam Veterans Against the War" with helping to drive the United States out of South Vietnam. Obviously Kerry's VVAW encouraged the enemy and increased the loss of life of many of our military.
Sen. Kerry is a self-serving, unprincipled politician willing to do anything, including slandering and endangering our troops, to enhance his political career.

I like your front-page cover story in the March 1 issue concerning Sen. Kerry (D.-Mass.).
And I always thought there were "less" morons than this, who would vote for the last person that I would vote for as President.
What we don't need is someone "leading"(?) our government (and people) down the "Democratic road" to our destruction by allowing the UN and all those other "do-gooders" to plot and plan the demise of these United States of North America. (Not all Americans, mind you!)
On what happened in Vietnam?
I was there before Kerry served during the "Tet" offensive in 1968. I never saw any intelligence reports of any such activities as Kerry has reported. The My Lai incident was a rare thing for the Army.

We have two polar-opposite choices for President. Check it out!
The media-promoted candidate is a playboy and a kept man of his current multi-millionairess wife, and politically a far leftist.
The other candidate lacks all of those sophisticated "qualifications." He has only married one little librarian lady one time for plain old love. He is still faithful to his wife and the mother of his girls. He has never preferred those enemy Marxist and Muslim dictatorships over America. He loves our own military people and doesn't falsely accuse them of war crimes and they love him back.
Bush has real friends, not subordinates and flunkies. He's a businessman, not a shyster lawyer using false accusations. His grammar and pronunciation are not "slick," but he's a great pilot, flying even the most deadly old fighter planes-those "flying coffins"-while in the National Guard. He sticks with every job until it is finished. He is an action man with deep faith and integrity, not a spiteful windbag.
It's a tough choice. The man of action is being unfairly sabotaged by the media in every great or small action he takes. Instead the media are grooming the do-nothing far-leftist candidate to take over. This media candidate pledges to immediately surrender American sovereignty, leadership and military might to the Marxist-Muslim UN as our media demands.
Experts tell us our voting balance will again be skewed by the votes of illegal aliens, felons, multiple voters using borrowed names, career welfare takers, and racists. Leftist lawyers will again try to disqualify the ballots of our patriotic overseas military men. You must vote for truth and principle!

NEA Budget Increase Final Straw For Voter
I am a conservative Republican who has finally had it with George Bush and will not be voting for him in November. The final straw was his call to increase funding to the National Endowments for the Arts by $18 million ["Should Congress Expand-or Abolish-NEA?," HUMAN EVENTS, March 8, page 3].
This wretched agency has used my tax dollars to fund pornography and this blasphemy should not exist at all. I have campaigned against Democrats for funding this agency, now Bush has joined Democrats in promoting this garbage at my expense.
It is clear to me we need a divided government. The feckless and spineless Republicans in Congress have proven they will not stand up to George Bush in his disregard of our Constitution. Perhaps they will stand up to a Democrat president who strives to destroy our Constitution. We clearly need a Republican Congress with no Bush in the White House. Like his father before him, George has proven that he will tell his conservative base anything to get elected and ignore them after the election.
If the Republican Party wants my presidential vote, they must stop sending me a Bush or a Dole every four years.

Rollcalls Missed
As a HUMAN EVENTS subscriber, I am thoroughly disappointed in the decision to eliminate the rollcall page. This is the first page I turn to whenever I receive your publication. I am asking you to please revert to your previous policy of publishing a full page of rollcalls.
Cogan Station, Pa.
I will miss the publication of congressional rollcalls in HUMAN EVENTS, which I use to check on my two Republican U.S. senators Lamar Alexander and Bill Frist (Tenn.). I was a volunteer for the Frist campaign when he was first elected in 1994, upsetting the liberal Democrat Jim Sasser, and again in 2000 when he was re-elected by a wide margin over token opposition.
I hope the editors will re-consider their decision to eliminate the rollcall section, especially in an election year.
Again, I am a strong and close reader of HE, a very objective and accurate publication.
Memphis, Tenn.
Editor's Note: As you can see from last week's issue and this week's on page 26, Rollcalls have not been eliminated. We will continue to publish many rollcalls in the print version of HUMAN EVENTS and more rollcalls are now featured on our website.
