From: Tim_Leatherman Subject: RE: Kerry Endorsement Date: Oct 7, 2004 12:08 PM Dear Sir or Madam:
I assure you I have personally read your e-mail. However, due to the volume of messages received, I cannot give a personalized response to each of you.
However, here in a nutshell is a general response:
Because I publicly stated how I am going to cast my vote, almost all of you have threatened a boycott against my company.
So be it.
I took a position, and now I will accept the consequences.
I am still going to do my absolute best to make great tools and hope that you and all Americans, of every political affiliation, will find them of value. If not today, someday.
Tim Leatherman
President
Leatherman Tool Group, Inc.

Due to you recent endorsement of John Kerry, I will never purchase another of you tools. I will ensure that my brothers in arms know of your support of John Kerry.
Several years ago I bought a few of those Leatherman multi-purpose tools as Christmas gifts. At least two of them were defective and simply fell apart; I returned all of them for a refund.
Leatherman tools are junk.
never ever post a true address - unless you are at a secure site
