Boston, Mass. – Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory released the following statement today in response to a Boston Herald article that shows Senator John Kerry was against nuclear preparedness programs:

“When he was running for Lieutenant Governor in 1982, John Kerry campaigned against planning for state evacuation in the event of a nuclear attack. He actually ran a radio ad saying, ‘Someone has to stand up and say “no” to this madness.’ Kerry contended that nobody could survive a nuclear attack, so planning wasn't worth the effort.

“Kerry also justified not being prepared by saying a nuclear attack was ‘unthinkable.’ On 9/11, America learned that planning for the ‘unthinkable’ must be our first priority. Kerry's lack of judgment on preparation for an attack at the height of the Cold War calls into question whether he has the judgment necessary to lead our nation today in a time of terrorist threats. President Bush's leadership in the face of these threats has made our nation safer and more secure.”

Ah, right, he's head of some sort of terrorism preparedness committee, and he's in town for the Mayors' shindig.
