Hot Air Fun

Would you like to ride? We have some fun to share.
We talk of animals and birthday cake, and sometimes even air.
We even solve some problems, like getting lots of gas,
Just put the politicians in balloons, and give the planes a pass.

They would be very safe, of course, they’d never land too hard.
With all that hot air that they share, they’d hardly even be jarred.
In fact, they might not land at all, and won’t that be a shame?
I’d sure be famous after that, for I’d be the one to blame!!

What is Senator John Kerry's relationship to VVAW?

http://www.vvaw.org/faq/#4

Since Vietnam Veterans Against the War's inception in 1967, tens of thousands of vets, GIs and supporters have participated in and supported the actions of VVAW. One of those members in the early 1970s was John Kerry. Kerry was appointed to the VVAW Executive Committee to assist in preparing Dewey Canyon III, VVAW's limited incursion into the land of Congress in 1971 (Nicosia, 98-99). Kerry made his greatest contribution to the anti-war movement and to VVAW in his speech to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on April 23, 1971 (Brinkley, 371-373: Hunt, 109-110; Nicosia, 136-138; Wells, 495).

Content of the speech is found at:

By 1972, John Kerry had moved on from VVAW (Brinkley, 406: Hunt, 127-128; Nicosia, 211).

He was not one of the original founding members of VVAW in 1967.
