****************
Kerry on record...
Chief Warrant Officer Ernie Bowers (ret.), who served two tours in Vietnam, where he flew US Army combat helicopters and was shot down and injured twice, sent the following for our edification.
HE SAID TO CHECK THE RECORD......WE DID
Sen. John Kerry, Democrat from Massachusetts, says he is the strongest presidential candidate on National Defense!
He said, "Check the Record."
We Did!
Here is what we learned:
In addition to those items listed above,
He voted to Kill every military appropriation for the development and deployment of every weapons system since 1988, including a bill for battle-armor for our troops.
It is most likely, with Sen. John Kerry as President and Commander in Chief of our Armed Services, that they will cease to function as effectively -- making it most difficult for our country to protect itself.
John Kerry voted to Kill all antiterrorism activities of many key agencies of the US Government:
He voted to Cut the funding of the FBI by 60%.
He voted to Cut the funding for the CIA by 80%.
He voted to Cut the funding for the NSA by 80%.
THEN,
and this should be abhorrent to almost every American Voter (whether
Democrat, Republican or! Independent), he voted to increase OUR funding for U.N operations by 800% !!
Ask yourself:
"Is THIS the person you want as President of these United States providing for the Common Defense of the Nation, and as the Leader of the Free World ?"
Voting history can be accessed through Senate voting records. The above is an accurate summary from my research. We are not saying anything bad about Kerry, only the facts. Tom E. Beal.
